[Fukushima]

Bands as mentioned by others and Lost prophets

Yeah dardz

Edit:

Just noticed unwritten law after reading the list for the third time

Yesssssssssssss. I love soundwave line ups, you find a gem each time you read the list and plenty more on the day!

[Brett_J]

Fucking Coal Chamber - YESSS
This years was fucking awesome, can't wait for this one!
Such good crowds, way better than the fuckheads that go to dance festivals.

[Frenchy]

Devin Townsend Project = win.......that man is a fucking genius

[Tom]

AVA is fucking awesome tho man.
have been listening to them since 06' i think , fuckin awesome to finally see them.

Blink are back together , so nfi what the deal is with that.?

Yeah, I never really got into them. Was a massive Blink fan though, their untitled album was the first CD I ever bought. Didn't mind Boxcar racer and +44 back then either.

AVA just seem so....

http://images.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/9198680.jpg

[INSINR8R]

LOL Limp Bizkit. Enjoy your hasbeens.

Only a few bands worth seeing. Funny how Soundwave started as a predominantly Metal fest, then moved to Hard rock, post punk/pop punk now bands like Cobra Starship are playing.

Just like Big Day Out, it''s getting more retarded every year.

[SircatmaN]

This years lineup is fucking sick (minus Limp Bizkit? fucking homos) but its still nowhere near as good as this years lineup was.

[Risk10k]

[Georgina]

Yeahhh I'm going ! AVA are amazing live :)
There's so many bands playing that I haven't heard for years !

[Risk10k]

Yeah, I'm not feeling the rage there. BLS, Devin Townsend (My avatar), MH, LoG, Mastadon, Dillenger, Messugah - pretty fucking metal?




Also, CKY? BOMBED.

[Butcher]

So fucking impressive live.
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0jgrCKhxE1s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[n1ghth4wk]

Epicly keen for Manson, Lamb of God, ADTR and Chimaira. Others I'd like to see but won't shoot myself if I miss them such as Lost Prophets, Slipknot, Trivium, Underoath, Black Veil Brides and Gojira.

Soooo pissed off that Sonic Syndicate got ruled out mid this year though ;(

[INSINR8R]

Years gone by had better line ups.

[Brett_J]

Years gone by had better line ups.

Are you one of those people that lives in the past? claiming stuff was always better before the new generation ruined it? "Man these show used to be all about the metal, now it's soft!"
Seriously there is some good names for this one,as was the last.
Had an awesome day last one running back and forth between some of my favourites, look forward to doing it again for this one.

[Tocchi]

im pretty stoked that Chimaira are down the list, in the small font, as it means they will be on early, yes a shorter set time (crap) but means i wont have clashes with other bands i love.


sooo goot.

No, not one that lives in the past, and yeah there are some good bands in that line up. Chimaira, Machine Head, Mastodon, Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan, Devin Townsend Project, Hatebreed and Slipknot (to an extent). Then you think why the fuck is Cobra Starship on that list? Some pop rock that no-one gives a fuck about? Or Limp Bizkit, who still think its 1998 and releasing the same shit over and over.

All festivals do it, they start out with massive line ups, then through the years, the line ups start to lack. The two headline acts, System of a Down and Slipknot. System as a band have done nothing in 4 years. Each member went and did their own thing. Slipknot have released an album, one member has died but they've toured continuously for the last 2 years, but they are second to SOAD.

Coal Chamber, as much as I loved them back when I was a teenager, only reformed to play Soundwave after Dez finally cleared the sand from his vagina and made nice with his former bandmates. After these shows, they'll disband again and that's it.

I'm not saying this will be shit, but the quality is declining each year. I'm sure those that are going will have shitloads of fun, and so you should. But just not impressed with the line up compared to previous years.

[mc68]

I think because SOAD havent toured for 4 years, or toured in aus after mezmerise/hypnotize. That the frenzy around them is warranted. Lets just hope they still have it..

[coFF33]

and more
id say so

Looks like Daron isnt a massive crackhead anymore which is good too coz he will actually play the solos and what not instead of falling on the ground and spinning around and smashing his guitar and screaming in the mic the whole set hahahhahaha

[iluv2moan]

fingers crossed SOAD just play their self titled albumn and nothign else

[DTM-031]

Got my tix :)

[JME]

Yep, awesome list. Black Label Society, fuck yes, get your ROCK ON!!!!

[SircatmaN]

http://images.soundwavefestival.s3.amazonaws.com/SW12/TT/SW12-TT-PER.pdf

Theres the timetable for tomorrow. I can't explain how pissed off I am that CKY, Steel Panther and Unwritten law all clash at the same time.

Other than having to be 3 places at the same time for them I have a pretty pack straight forward day, gonna be sick! Thankfully I'll be nowhere near stage 2 when Limp bizkit and all the wannabe hard kents will be on.

[ossie_21]

lostprophets :D will arrive at Claremont, then set up camp to be front & centre. Hoping they come back for a proper Aus tour, they did sidewaves over in Melb & Sydney I wish I could have gone to, gutted 40mins has to do though

[ryanr32]

So keen for lostprophets a few clashes but apart from that should be busy all day

[PHIL]

I know the first four bands, thats it. Fuck concerts anyway to many dumb pingpingpingpings fighting and shit. And fucking expensive tickets. Would rather fill up the lux and mini bike and go bush or my mini track

[-Luke-]

Cant find any info on the tickets/terms and conditions on the site, is public transport covered in the ticket price as per previous years?

Scratch that, Info on transperth Website. Special event time table. There's a train from the City to the Claremont every 8mins, Tickets to SW cover the Public transport

[V70R]

Just drove past the showgrounds. Its all rigged up and ready to go like old BDO style.

[Klutch]

tits during limp bizkit

so good.

[schnoods]

+1, Jessica woulda been proud.

Lol was wondering when the last song for Limp being dedicated to Jessica whether it would be Break Stuff or Nookie, lol the old man on stage seemed to lose something in translation there.

[Klutch]

"this ones for jessica, lets go out there and kill it!"

possibly a bad choice of words on his part, i had a giggle haha

[Fukushima]

Was a great day out.

SOAD were excellent.

The used sucked live as usual, well they played well but the front man still wastes half the set talking about himself. STFU and sing a fucking song.

You me at six were probably my favourites. Never heard them before but they put on a great show.

Sadly did not see all the bands I would have liked to but still had a great time.

[Aristoman]

Great time, decent tribute i thought. Much respect there.....

Marilyn Manson sucks balls, SOAD were good still a great day allround.

[scottiedoesntn0]

tits during limp bizkit

so good.
this + 1000000000

Some good tits indeed.

Almost everything I saw was awesome!
At the door ticket price shat me off a little, $200 smackers

[Aristoman]

Saw them titties on the big screen too, theyre were perky numbers.

Bought my ticket months ago was only $150.

[-Luke-]

Was a good day out Slipknot and SOAD where great. Venue is still balls but IMHO the event was run much better this yeah.

How about those pingpingpingpings on the speaker towers? Way to stop a festival fella's

Limp Bizkit tribute was nice without coming across as cheesy.

LOL @ Fred Durst after little miss finished shaking her tits "oh look now she's famous"

[Georgina]

Marilyn Manson is such a cock!

Lol at that guy on the speaker tower that got hit in the face with a water bottle was soooooo mad!

Slipknot were ace, but I didn't appreciate being on the floor for so long before everyone jumped up haha, it was pretty cool though :)

You me at six, kids in glass houses, lost prophets, and AVA were definitely my favourites! :)

[_S9_]

how has there been 5 posts about tits and no actual pics so far?

[evoeata]

it was trinity from picture mag. saw her later on up the top of the drinking area and she got them out again. got them peirced so she wanted to show them off. i didnt complain haha


coal chamber, slipknot and SOAD were the highlights for me. was a big day though. and vb cans in the bar. heaven

[Riggs]

Lol, Trinity Porter? She is also one of the Sexpo showgirls. Was dtf like crazy when they were here last, all over us at the show and gave Sam her number wanting us 3 to all catch up later that night. She's a funny girl.

[ForgedV6]

Any one see Alter Bridge? Were they anygood? I didnt get to go :(

[bird]

Lamb of God was fucking mental.

Guys getting knocked out in the wall of death etc.

[Tocchi]

the day started pretty shitty for me, get there just before 11am, wait until 12pm to get in :-/ resulting in me missing one of the main bands i wanted to see.
in past SW's it's been like a 15 minute line hasnt it? or was it always like this?

mostly stayed around stage 4 and 6 this year, checked out CKY (spotted bunno iain) and Unwritten Law, play a few songs i knew.

slipknots fans, well lol, but fuck, the band themselves put a hell of a show on.

was torn between Trivium or Hatebreed as their times clashed, chose Hatebreed, was not let down. FUCKING BRUTAL.
then i read later that trivium had bad sound, as i suspected, as they generally are pretty sloppy live.

Machine Head... showing why they are a headlining band, great show.


ONE THING I FUCKING DESPISED THIS YEAR.
the big ass C shape of the venue ... what happened to the paths between stages etc?
the 10 minute walk between stage 4 and 6 could of been cut so much shorter if they had put a path there

[180SXTCY]

I had the same problem a few years ago with getting in, we got there early as but still lined up for over an hour.

[Evilteddy]

[Joe spec essay]

I'll just point out a few things first. Someone complained about the door price. The Soundwave festival is a fundraising festival. Anything that is made ON THE DAY goes to a charity. Doorsales, cloakroom and 'excess' alcohol purchases are all donated.

The line at the start this year was because of the build up and 9000 people wanting to enter at the times gates opened. The entrance gates they used are the same as the BDO use and they are the biggest bottlenecking entrances i've ever seen. This will be looked at and hopefully fixed for next year.

The layout of the event was not for the ease of the punters. The path between stages 4 and 6 is used so the bands and staff can go to each stage without having do deal with the punters. There was no other way to design that site to hold 40,000+ people and 7 set stages. A piss off yes, but i'd prefer the extra stages, the band variety and have an extra 10min walk.

I myself went to this festival as a punter(almost) I did some work for Production so was able to use my pass to get between stages and areas easier (sux2buTocchi :P)

I saw Black Dahlia Murder, Hellyeah, Limp Bizkit, Staind, the end of Slipknot and walked away from SOAD. I was drinking all day, i got sunburnt and i am feeling worse for wear at work today. But i had the best festival day and i feel sorry for the organisers because i have no idea how they will top that line-up next year.

[/Joe spec essay]

[SircatmaN]

Yeh was a sick day. It sucked that CKY and Unwritten law were playing at the same time as steel panther. I watched most of steel panther but then couldn't find stage 3 and when I did I only managed to catch half a song by unwritten law (doh!)
Thursday put on a hell of a show since it was there last show ever before disbanding so it was good to catch that!
Slipknot put on one of the best shows I have seen.
I, like alot of people, walked away from SOAD. Boring as fuck.
Angels and Airwaves were ok except Tom didn't seem all that interested in interacting with the crowd, except fr a few clap gestures to the crowd. I wish they would just stick Travis on a boat and bring what we all want - the REAL Blink 182.

One thing that almost managed to ruin the day was the fact I forgot my license and despite the fact I am CLEARLY over 25 they wouldn't give me a wristband, drew one of those stupid under 18 crosses on my hand and seemed to get some enjoyment out of the fact I wouldn't be drinking. Its nanny-state bullshit gone overboard, its a different story if you look 18 but FFS I clearly am old enough.
Anyway I managed to sort out a wristband because I don't take no for answer but that pissed me off a bit. Next time I will clearly remember my ID, but FFS I have a mortgage AND a kid, I NEED a fucking drink.

[ossie_21]

Lostprophets, limp bizkit & SOAD were the ones I went to see, none disappointed. Met all of lostprophets & got a cd booklet signed, said they will be back for their upcoming cd Weapons, hopefully they didn't just say that to make me happy :p limp bizkit were probably on at the worst time cos the sun had taken it's toll on most people to go with the energy (people towards the back, in the mosh was insane) but still put up
A good show, and a good tribute to Jessica, also had her dad there too. SOAD had to follow slipknot who were intense, but they brought it home. Sultans of swing mix up into the intro for Suite Pee was cool haha

[SircatmaN]

Of I forgot A day to remember, fucking sick and probably the funniest part of the day. We went to go into the mosh but they closed it right infornt of us becaus eit was full so they shuffled us to the stage 2 mosh and we were right on the fence. Watching people jump across and fight off security was hilarious. Especially the guy that turned to security and the crowd backed him and the 3 indian security guards pissed themselves and ran hahaha.

Also funny as the guys that climbed the towers getting pelted by bottles. I was kinda hoping after all the effort to get them down SOAD would come out and be like "CLIMB UP THOSE FUCKING TOWERS" but no the lead singer looks likes hes turned into some weird ass preppy kent.

[Brett_J]

Another awesome event
Got there about 3 to hear one of the bands I wanted to see finish their last song, despite them supposed to have only been starting, was stage 3 I think, they fucked the times up somewhere.
After that it was A day to remember who were awesome as always, then it was ti In this Moment and Kitty, both awesome female vocalists, both went fucking hard, shame they had 30 min sets.
I feel Limp Bizkits tribute was just a publicity stunt, they didn't give a fuck when the incident happened. Still titties made up for this :)
Manson seemed off chops, stumbling n shit, muttering rubbish.
Slipknow went off, we were right up close to the stage and still had bulk room, I saw most of their set before my back called it quits after the 2nd festival in a row for me, that and being old, saw the start of Machine Heads set, they went hard straight off the bat, then walked around to SOAD, who were disappoint really, so boring and mellow, I liked Serge when he was a crazy Junkie :)

In terms of shit venue and layout, I used to complain till I did Future the day before at Joondalup, so fucking crammed in, worst venue ever.
The plus side of Claremont is that with so many stages and distance between them means its never so bad you get squashed and can barely move.
There were plenty of shortcuts, mostly they were the over 18 area which had 2 entry/exits, cut the time in half using them between the back stage and main stages.

[JAM3S]

Limp biskit was awesome so many titties! Slip knot put on one hell of a performance they should have closed the main stage IMO, like others said SOAD was shit left and went to angels and airwaves. Did anyone else think there sound was shit too much bass and toms voice was drowned out by the music? You me at six were also pretty good.

[JME]

Couldn't get their till 6pm , managed to watch most of Trivium who were awesome. Then Black Label Society (big zakk fan) then waltzed over to watch slipknot finish and SOAD. Soad sound was a disaster, moderately better as they played but way to much bass drum and no presence in the guitars. They took a while to warm up, but was worth hanging around, show definitely got better! Had a ball albeit only for a few acts, interesting to see how they top this year!!!

So just had a chat to a patient on my ward... fractured mandible (jaw)

He claims he was dragged in to a security tent at about 4pm and made piss by about 5 of them, then taken outside and dumped on the roadside.

Can you please PM me with more information on this. The organisers mentioned something about an incident and are seeking further info on the matter.

He claims he was dragged in to a security tent at about 4pm and made piss by about 5 of them, then taken outside and dumped on the roadside.
About 3:30 there was Some guy making an absolute cock of himself trying to fight about 10 security guys, head butting, kicking and punching them , then once they had him on the ground he started to spit on them. So they finally picked Him up to carry him outside and he thrashed around like a fish out of water until they dropped him a few times. They then picked him up and carried him in the other direction. Would assume its the same guy. Not Defending them if they actually did take him to the tent and fuck him up but the guy was a fucking tosser and I don't envy their job. And then later on in the day some pingpingpingping punched a girl in the face, then preceded to try fight her boyfriend while
Yelling I'm in the SAS. I used to enjoy Soundwave because I never saw any crap like this happening, now
It's just like every other festival.

yeah that probably explains it... not hard to believe he had it coming but at the end of the day they are paid to protect patrons.

anyway he went home today all sorted

I saw Alter Bridge a few years back when they supported Disturbed. They werent bad back then. Lack a bit of stage energy though.
