Thought I\u2019d change it up a little today and check out some different bands today (besides a couple of favourites, but more on that later)\u2026<\/p>\n<p>First stop <strong>Amon Amarth<\/strong>, and look at that\u2026 there&#8217;s a Viking ship on stage, that is amazing!! There&#8217;s nothing wrong with this much heaviness this early in the morning that&#8217;s for sure!! The crowd in Sydney are absolutely pumped!! Fists pumping everywhere and horns held high for these Vikings and I&#8217;m happy.\u00a0This is going to be a good day!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mushroomhead<\/strong> are up next and their blend of rap and metal is killing it. Today I feel may just be a metal filled extravaganza!! The more these guys play the more comfortable they look and the driving drums keeping the band in check work with the balanced group vocals but as the female vocalist kicks in on this track this one is wild. An \u2018Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi\u2019 chant is always appreciated and the way they did it blending it in with one of their tracks, awesome! If these last two bands haven&#8217;t got everyone pumped then I don&#8217;t know what will&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe a bit of <strong>Five Finger Death Punch<\/strong> will do that! Yeah and with the bang they started with, no doubt\u2026 in fact I moved away from FFDP after a couple of tracks, to ensure I make my way into the main arena to secure a spot for that Sambora guy\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biffy Clyro<\/strong> ended as they did in Brisbane, amazingly, <strong>Alter Bridge<\/strong> delivered a louder (if that\u2019s possible) set than the day before, with Myles sounding better than ever up there vocally and on the guitar. Seriously, they are one of the bands of the festival and you need to check them out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Richie Sambora<\/strong> changed us his set a little from Brisbane, this time he threw it back to the INXS classic \u2018Don\u2019t Change\u2019 as well as an amazing jam session between him and Orianthi on the old Jimi Hendrix number \u2018Voodoo Child\u2019 which just showed everyone how much of an amazing player Sambora is and Orianthi, but there\u2019s a certain style, a certain feel to Sambora\u2019s bluesy style and it works. Through the Bon Jovi classic again of \u2018Lay Your Hands On Me\u2019, \u2018Wanted Dead Or Alive\u2019 and \u2018Livin\u2019 On A Prayer\u2019 with Orianthi taking the first verse he proved again that he belongs up there, whether it\u2019s with the band he spent thirty years in or not, with some fine tuning I feel he can continue on rockin\u2019 and thankfully Sydney got to see him do just that today. If you haven\u2019t got a ticket to his sidewave in Sydney on the 26<sup>th<\/sup> at The Enmore, I suggest you do\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Testament<\/strong> are currently thrashing up the stage as you&#8217;d expect and after Newsted mysteriously cancelled their appearance at Soundwave, fill ins <strong>Red Bee<\/strong> are doing a great job entertaining the crowd. I saw these guys open for Fly Leaf and today they are doing an amazing job, and the size of the smiles on their faces shows me just how much they appreciated this opportunity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gwar<\/strong>. Wow. Ok\u2026 so it&#8217;s after their set and I&#8217;m covered in a mixture of alien spunk, blood from a decapitated Tony Abbott and a de-breasted Queen and bright red at the moment but this was one of the best and most amazing things I&#8217;ve ever seen! I\u2019d always heard this was a spectacle to behold, but actually witnessing this was unbelievable, in fact I almost forgot they were playing music at one point as there was so much to watch. Playing \u2018keepings off\u2019 from the Queen with the royal baby was a moment, as was a dinosaur eating one of them on stage\u2026 It\u2019s far too hard to put into words what Gwar are about but if you looked up entertainment in the dictionary, or on google if you don\u2019t know what a dictionary is, you should see a picture of this band. They win, they just win!<\/p>\n<p>Back to <strong>Bowling For Soup<\/strong> (yes, again) and this time delivering a little bit of a different set, but opening with \u2018Girl All The Bad Guys Want\u2019 was NUTS. Never have I heard a crowd laugh as much at a live show and laugh because they\u2019re enjoying it, not due to lack of talent, as BFS are pretty much the greatest band you\u2019ll ever see live. Even when \u2018Since We Broke Up\u2019 from their newest album \u2018Lunch, Drunk. Love\u2019 gets a run the crowd are into it and that rules as far as I\u2019m concerned, considering it was released via the Pledge music site. A guy in a tree made the best appearance of the day and BFS went away with another amazing set nailed and surely a pass to come back and see us very soon!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crosses<\/strong> are tearing up stage 5 right now. Their dark and moody tracks are perfect for their set and those here\u00a0but as <strong>Skindred<\/strong> come on to the imperial march from Star Wars but mix it up with some dance beats and they explode onto the stage and man, the people that have waited to see this band are bouncing and rockin&#8217; to every note! This set is polished, flawless in fact and I feel like I&#8217;ve just seen the best kept secret of the festival.\u00a0This blending of rap, reggae and rock is one of the best I\u2019ve ever witnessed and to get the majority of the crowd (including some ladies) to take off their shirts and spin them around like a helicopter, in terms of crowd participation was a site I won\u2019t forget in a while. The band\u2019s energy and just overall presence is something many on the festival can learn from. It\u2019s times like this I\u2019m glad I listen to people when they suggest seeing certain bands.<\/p>\n<p>Out for a bit of a walk to see <strong>Down<\/strong> kicking some ass during their set, and just hearing Phil Anselmo sing is a treat. Man, the dude was in Pantera, are you kidding me?! Looking at the crowd though, that\u2019s one pit I\u2019m glad I was nowhere near.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rocket From The Crypt<\/strong> were just finishing up\u00a0as I headed back into stage 5 for some smooooth rock and roll with <strong>Eagles of Death Metal<\/strong> and as a front man, Jesse Hughes oozes it\u2026 his presence and his moves are pure rock and roll and it shows. Through track after track and his can\u2019t stand still attitude, the stand out for me was a bit of \u2018Cherry Cola\u2019 as well as \u2018The Boy\u2019s Bad News\u2019 and a cover of \u2018Stuck In The Middle\u2019 which was amazing. Stage 5 I tell ya, today was kicking some major ass!<\/p>\n<p>Made it back in for <strong>Green Day<\/strong> who have already started their set but as &#8216;Boulevard of Broken Dreams&#8217; started and the entire crowd took the first verse and chorus it was a pretty awesome moment to be a part of! Through songs like &#8216;Wake Me Up When September Ends&#8217; that win over this already won crowd but to go straight into a twenty year old track from &#8216;Dookie&#8217; in &#8216;Burnout&#8217; and the excitement that happened \u00a0because of it was something pretty damn cool. Even better when \u2018Longview\u2019 takes its place in the set it&#8217;s even bigger and just when it can&#8217;t get any bigger it does, with &#8216;When I Come Around&#8217; and if this place was a volcano, it just erupted, we&#8217;d all be dead right now! &#8216;Welcome to Paradise&#8217; continues on and I just don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;ll slow down! &#8216;2000 light years away&#8217; takes it way way way back but then with a 1,2 a 1,2,3,4 they bring it back with &#8216;Hitchin&#8217; a Ride&#8217; which of course got plenty of love.<\/p>\n<p>A little bit of a riff mash up from Black Sabbath and some Metallica, Guns n Roses leading into some Led Zep, then some AC\/DC with &#8216;Highway to Hell&#8217; but all that was the intro to \u2018Brain Stew\u2019 after some T-shirt cannon work, &#8216;St Jimmy&#8217; takes spot in the set and in an interesting move a song from Billie Joe&#8217;s band &#8216;operation ivy&#8217; called \u2018Knowledge\u2019 and making a girls dream come true getting her up on stage to play guitar and then giving her the guitar, amazing!<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Basket Case&#8217; was amazing!! Twenty years old and still killing it and without even stopping, a drum count in and a bass riff starts &#8216;She&#8217; then a plethora of funny hats come out for &#8216;King For a Day&#8217; and a bit of fun with the song and Tre Cool who by the way is too cool with his matching sock, pant &amp; drum combo has just made his way to the front of the stage for a sing before Billie Joe returns to throw out &#8216;Shout&#8217; mashed with a little &#8216;Jessie&#8217;s Girl&#8217; for good measure. Whoa a nice little cover of &#8216;Who Can It Be Now?&#8217; by Men At Work before jumping back into &#8216;Shout&#8217; and that worked so well!\u00a0 \u2018Waiting\u2019 rocks it back up but &#8216;Minority&#8217; does it better as the band leave the stage only to return for &#8216;American idiot&#8217; and yeah I think they like this one, I mean how could they not? As they do with &#8216;Jesus of Suburbia&#8217; which is as epic as it is on record.<\/p>\n<p>Slowing it way down with \u2018Brutal Love&#8217; a fake goodbye yet again and a return for surely what must be the end. Of course it&#8217;s &#8216;Good Riddance&#8217; and you know what Green Day? You don\u2019t have to hope that we had the time of our life, you can rest assured that everyone in the last three hours of your set did just that and they thank you. Green Day are truly that headline style band, they put on a rock show, they sounded great, they sang great and well, they were just great!<\/p>\n<p>Yet again, the Avenged Sevenfold pyro woke up anyone that was a little tired on their way out, and with that Soundwave 2014 is done for me.
