It’s over at www.metalsucks.net Let it fuck your chops off.

Black Market going METULZ this weekend. Fuck yeah!!!!!!! Come have a hardcore mosh to some metal cunts!

I got you a present mate – a free Double Dragon album, go and grab it www.sonsofasena.com especially for you mate!

Fuck..pretty cool flyer I reckon, double props to the artist for “Blackening” Up the other members of Double Dragon!

Fucking CLASSIC! hahah!

ARGHH HAHAHAH! Look at Black Davin!! BLACK DAVIN… JUN JUN JUN WEEEEEEEE

See you there with the cool cunts of Adelaide on Saturday night!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Stole that pic from www.adelaidenow.com.au . Fuck man, that is not the picture the organizers want to see. Although the picture above could have been taken in the morning, and the other one at the peak capacity time, word on the streets is the Big Day Out is not what it used to be.

Pondering this hot topic, I thought to myself, what did happen to the Big Day Out? I went last year, and it was fucking cool as shit, Tool, Blue King Brown etc. I have been to many Big Day Outs, I have played one, Ive paid for tickets for about 7 or 8 and even scalped tickets and made a fucking killing one year.. but seriously.. they are the fucking same… packed out, heaps of pissed cunts, heaps of cool bands with shitty sound and not enough performance time: its the same shit every time. Actually, all big festivals, are the fucking same. Heaps of bands, heaps of cunts. Doesn’t matter who is playing, it is always the same vibe/shit.

I’ll tell you where the Big Day Out fucked up, and will always fuck up… its actually one word.. they don’t seem to grasp it… wait for it kids.. its the…

METAL

That’s right. You want a good Big Day Out you put a couple of slamming metal bands on. I’ll never forget Fear Factory on the main stage back in the day, or fuck even Soulfly and Korn back in the 90′s or whenever the fuck it was … it was fucking brutal. Even an observer with no knowledge of musical genres could tell you, when the big metal bands played… the shit went off like a motherfucker. Wasn’t like watching some Aussie Hip Hop, or indie shit, the whole place just went fucking ballistic.

Obviously, those over at Soundwave, aren’t oblivious to this and have gone straight for the throat of what the public want. The best metal bands, all fucking day long. For arguments sake.. lets get everyfucking metal band EVER.. and put them on a stage, see how that goes…

We all know, it fucking owns. It’s a no brainer. Sure their aint no room for Aussie bands, but fucking hell.. would you like to see a local band, when you can see fucking Hatebreed or Biohazard down the bill.. I sure as shit wouldn’t.

So how do the Big Day Out get back to their feet? It’s fucking easy. And this time it’s three words:

FAITH NO MORE

That’s right. That is all they need. Faith No More are the PERFECT band for The Big Day Out. Sure they played Soundwave a couple of years ago, but what they were missing on that set is the alternative crowd. Sure there were lots of metal heads and what not, but Faith No More can appeal to everyone, the metal heads, the rockers, the alternative crowd AND people keen to catch some awesome musicians. Big Day Out – no shit dudes, you build your festival around Faith No More next time and see who comes back.. EVERYONE WILL. The same argument could be said about The Mars Volta, Metallica, Guns N Roses, etc etc etc. All these huge motherfuckers.. the Big Day Out should have someone like this. Not fucking Kanye. Fuck if you’re gonna get Kanye, go one better and get Beyonce and sell the fucker out once and for all. I know Kanye gets JJJ airplay.. but fuck man.. its hardly BDO music. Is it?

Heres a billing that would get your shit to sell out: BIG DAY OUT 2013

BLACK SABBATH
FAITH NO MORE
THE MELVINS
THE TEA PARTY ( reunited)
DOWN
THE PRODIGY
PENDULUM
WU-TANG CLAN

Now – that would fucking work. As if it wouldn’t. And fill the rest with AUSTRALIANS. Eg:
COG
PARKWAY DRIVE
PSYCROPTIC
MORTAL SIN
KARNIVOOL
etc etc with maybe a ROSE TATTOO, or even fucking COLD CHISEL or something for educational purposes???

and Double Dragon of course.

No Aussie Hip Hop though because we are keeping it real here for 2013.

Even with a dash of faggotry emo bands, a line up like above would kick fucking arse no worries. Maybe they need #THEFEEJ to give em a clip round the gob-hole next year when they are picking the line up. Imagine if I chose the bands for this years BDO. It would go something like this:

“Hey Feej what about Kanye?”

“Tell Kanye to fuck off”

“Kasabian?”

“Who the fuck are they? NO”

“My Chemical Romance?”

“hahaha FUCK NO!.. who else?”

“Soundgarden?”

“Yeah alright lock em in.. next..?”

“Hilltop Hoods??!”

“Lol, next…”

“Cavalera Conspiracy…?”

“get SEPULTURA you FUCK have you heard their new album.. OWNS… NEXT?”

“Parkway Drive?”

“Yeah alright who else?”

“Das Racist?”

“Whaddaya mean Dats Racist its fucking Parkway Man?”

“It’s a band, I mean a rap group”

“Sounds shit to me.. get Wu Tang Clan.. NEXT…”

“Tony Hawk?”

“What the fuck does he play.. his DECK you DECKHEAD??!!!.. Get fucking Faith No More on the phone you fuck..”

“I really like that song Epic”

“You’re fired get the fuck out of my office!”

I could go on and on. But fuck I really would like to be the advisor for the BIg Day Out and have this exact conversation.

I do find it kind of weird about Kanye. Maybe the organizers didn’t consider it a risk, or maybe they thought it would actually work. In my shithouse opinion that was a pretty bad decision that rocks the very foundations of what being a ‘music festival is all about’. Fuck those rappers. There is all those Summer Days and all that fucking shit, chuck Kanye on that and give that demographic the kind of shitty music they beg for, but leave a rock fest for fucking rock and BRUTAL AS FUCK METAL.

Thank fuck for Soundwave right now, and mad props for giving Australians what the actually want.. a brutal mosh to the biggest bands on the planet.

So.. what bands do you think could save The Big Day Out? Chime in your thoughts in the comments..

Something has happened to me in 2012. Like some kind of attitude adjustment, spiritual awakening, divine intervention if you will. Everything is the same as usual, but I am listening to nothing but brutal as fucking balls metal. Ive thrashed so much Origin and Dying Fetus in the last few weeks that I have conditioned myself to think anything other than million miles an hour gravity blasts and slams is just pussy fucken shit. Its not even metal anymore. Double Dragon is now an easy listening band in terms of genre. It’s all about the brutality for me in 2012.

Ive recently dug up some albums and bands that I haven’t listened to in a few years since I was on my indie Aussie Folk female trip, which actually lasted longer than I anticipated. As much as I love the sound of technically perfect operatic female voices, I still love the sound of brutal gargly cookie monsters /frogs explaining to me how much the world is fucked and/or how much someone would like to “Crush Cranial Contents!”

Cephalic Carnage are an interesting band. We played with them in Sydney years ago, and wow those fuckers are tight on stage. Their drummer is fucking phenomenal , the bass player is off his tits, and yeah actually everything about this band is the fucking shit. One of my fav songs obviously is this one:

but have you seen this one?

Pretty fucking good that one, love the sexaphone work, really fits in nicely. And how good is that bass!?? Fucking riddix. The whole album ‘Mislead By Certainty’ is a real ripper easily one of these fuckers:

Dying Fetus are fucking insane. I just bought some trackpants to show my love for the Fetus, which I will wear proudly to the shops, work casual days, and my once a fortnight volunteer workshop with the Paradise Church. Fucking brutal cunt. Actually haven’t worn trackie dacks in public for fucking years. Fuck it lets change posts right now:

TRACKIE PANTS

Sup readers. The Feej here. Just cut in mid post to talk motherfuckin trackie pants. I bought some trackie dacks the other day, and seriously thought.. fuck man, why don’t i don the trackies anymore? What the fuck happened? In school, I used to wear trackies every fucking day but now.. apart from the ones that are coming.. I have 1 pair, which I think are the same pair I used to wear ten years ago.
Back in the day, back in the hood ( Golden Fuckin Grove 90′s to 00′s ) Trackies were the in thing. Baggy as fucking shit, trackies. Parachute trackies. Fleecy trackies. Those shiny wigger trackies that you snap up. Fucking UMBRO trackies. When I was 18, yeah I was a little fucking bogan cunt in my Sepultura Roots long sleevie..but Id match them with this:

I dont even like Soccer and never have, but yeah I’d swish around in this shit all day long like my shit didn’t stink. Speaking of trackies, in 1997 this band was actually acceptable listening:

..and if you went to a show in these around 1998:

it was acceptable metal garb. Funny how times change hey?

Do you wear trackies out in public in 2012? If so, leave your best trackies in the comments!
