BDO 2011
« on: September 13, 2010, 09:35:06 PM »
It's nearly that time of year again, when all the rumours are flying about, and we get to find out which handful of metal bands (if any) are playing among all the rubbish. 

This year, there are rumours of Tool headlining, which would be very pleasing for sure. However, if they are the only band of worth there (and that is quite likely), then I'll probably go to Melbourne if a sideshow is announced.

That still makes zero metal/worthwhile bands rumoured then.

The bonus of having Tool on the bill though is that anyone who watches them for 5 minutes or more will appreciate the other bands that much more.

"Sure, I'm in the boiler room watching some dodgy DJ, but at least it's not Tool" would be a common comment heard that day.

Stone Temple Pilots and Soundgarden are rumoured also. But yeah...Soundwave is definitely the winner.

I actually agree with you on this. I saw Tool for about 5min back the BDO 07 (I think it was that year), and they were just plain uninteresting.

I'm the only one that doesn't really care for Soundwave next year. I probably won't care for BDO either unless Tool are on the bill either.  I'm just excited that I may finally get to see them.  Apparently, no one else here is in agreeance   :(

If you like Tool over Slayer, you are the Tool!

Tool are best at what they do, which is in my opinion very good. The same certainly can't be said for Slayer.

I'd rather listen to Tool than some obscure black metal band who sound like they recorded their album in an outhouse on a mobile phone.

Also, Slayer are way past their prime.

Metallica are sellouts who sound a lot more like yasseah rock nowadays than heavy metal.

Soundwave is a good value ticket for sure.  Its 2010 trying to be all things to everyone is difficult these days in the information overloaded internet society, people filter out the stuff they are not interested in search out what they like.

A bill with all metal acts is a way better value ticket if you are targeting that audience. Thats why Ozzfest killed Lollapalooza way back in the mid 90s - it was the beginning of the internet information era they had their market and made it the best possible value ticket for their target audience.

I'd rather see a festival like Wacken that hits the bullseye or Megadeth Gigantour or big four package that has complimentary acts making a good value ticket, not diminishing it, feeling like a lot of my ticket is wasted paying for acts Im not into.

Anyone else agree with this?   Dropkick Murphys with Megadeth?

I agree, need more festivals targeting niches rather than all these jack of all trades, master of none festivals popping up all over the place in this country. Problem with that is the fact that most of them will have one or two really good bands worth seeing, but that doesn't sit with me, unless it is a band that I absolutely must see, such as Tool  :laugh:

There are rumours floating about that Rammstein may be one of the major acts. I'm not a Rammstein fan anymore, but I could tolerate them if they were playing before Tool, unlike most of the other bands they will have there.

Spot on! If you're into metal, you wont be jumping at a chance to go to the Big Day Out, as you'll spend a lot of time there waiting for a band to play that you like. However, Big Day Out will continue to be popular to "regular" or rather casual music fans, who don't fit into a niche.

I know right, such a ridiculous line-up. I can understand a gig having half and half in a line-up, but when it's so one-sided as No Sleep Til, with Megadeth just thrown in in an attempt to draw in the metal heads... you begin to wonder. I still don't know if I'm going to bother going or not.

Its all about giving value especially in an oversaturated touring market, internet information overload age why risk diminishing the value of your ticket and have people sitting on the fence? Jack of all trades master of none. Rather provide such a great not to miss line up of complimentary acts for your market that its a no brainer people are going to want to go because they have had the value demonstrated.

In pre internet 1992 yeah it was cool to expose punters to diverse acts but now with youtube and all the other social media, access to everything on the planet - everyone is already exposed to everything, that work has already been done. People know what they like - hedging your bets 'by a bit of this a bit of that' line up means many will sit on the ticket buying fence because they don't see the value.

Rather lets throw on a couple of metal acts to please the metal heads so we can grab their ticket money - why not lets do a metal festival for the metal heads so every metal head will not want to miss this event and be gauranteed of a stong turnout sales because its such great value for money. 
People don't think it will work until Ozzfest & Hellfest came along and destroyed the more pre internet age play it safe 'bit of this bit of that' diverse line up Lollapalooza.

I agree, why does a good band like Dropkicks have to be on the bill with a bunch of fuckheads like Megadeth?

An Aussie band like Slaughter Lord, Alchemist, Psycroptic or even Mortal Sin or some of the Aussie newcomers with Megadeth I say.
