Australia was – indeed- a good
way to start the year since this time I won’t be able to tour as much as I’d
like to. Those 5 shows were remarkable. I had the feeling that they just kept
getting better day by day, but I gotta say that Adelaide is obviously my
favorite, followed by Melbourne and Sydney. Nothing will ever top The Thing
That Should Not Be, seriously. That song has always been my least favorite from
the record, I repeat, MY LEAST FAVORITE, but after hearing it live, it’s a
complete different thing, I mean, I felt
like being in another world for those what 6 or 7 minutes. I’m still amazed on
how good the setlists were. I wasn’t expecting too much since they were
festivals shows.
On the other hand, It was hell
doing 2 shows in less than 25 hours. I mean, I’ve done that before, but Aussies
were too hardcore. They are the type of crowd that push during the whole show
no matter what. Which one was the worst? Brisbane, definitely. It was funny
cause the other shows (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth) weren’t as bad as
Brisbane… well, Melbourne got hardcore by the half of the set until the end,
but the rest of them, especially Adelaide, were super quiet. That’s a plus for
Adelaide. HOWEVER, during the Blink 182 or Slayer setlists, things were even
worse than during the Metallica set, as brutal as in Brisbane.
Here’s a photo on how bad the
scene was:
This was the most difficult tour
I’ve ever done so far, I mean, I caught a flu after the Sydney show cause I
wore the same wet shoes after the show in Brisbane (an idiot spilled his water in
my shoes and no, I didn’t bring a spare pair) so I got the flu because of that.
Then, while flying to Melbourne my head was about to explode because of this
flue, then I missed one flight, spent all my money on another one, had nothing to
eat and basically survived because I have the best friends in the world:
Metalli-friends. I owe my life to them, seriously. I’ll never get tired of
saying the same thing. HOWEVER, you must be wondering whether I’d do this again
or not. My answer? Of course I would! Despite the fact that these were the most
brutal shows I’ve ever been to, plus, everthing that I already mentioned, I
would do it again and a thousand times more. Why? Cause Australia is fucking
cool and I fucking love Alex, Nicole, Ange, Farzad, Mark and all my Aussie
friends. Next time, I’m gonna make sure to bring more money, though.
Here’s a video from the tour. I
know, the audio sucks. I’ll sort it out for the next video from the next tour,
when? I don't know. Hopefully Orion.
