Australia/New Zealand tour

LongRoad

How many spectacle wearers plan to get up front?

I think I'm gonna have to cave in and get some contacts for these shows. I can see glasses getting smashed to pieces and then everything will be a big blur

But 5+ hours of wearing contacts outside will be a killer.

It sucks to be blind!! :x

What do you mean? My contacts are pretty comfy. Maybe you have dry eyes? Have you tried the dailies, they are thinner and more comfortable.

P.S. What's your prescription?

I dont even know my prescription :shock: Pretty strong i think LOL!

I used to have the monthly contacts and I constantly needed eyedrops. Have never tried the daily ones but they will be more suitable since i dont wear contacts at any other time now. Definitely going to keep my glasses on me at the shows anyway, never know when you might need em

Yeah Im not good at explaining music (or airplane tickets but its pretty quick. Someone compared the pace to Leaving Here which I can sorta understand. It sounds to me as if its gonna be a live track for sure.

Reminds me of Save You which I love....buts thats from the 15 sec snippet Ive heard

Yeah me too! ha ha Glad I'm not holding my breath from last time!

Pick a date, punk......

DonJon

18 September

Not picking a date coz you can manipulate it

Dont these things always leak 2-3 weeks prior? We will have probably heard most live by then

DonJon

Actually there is a full version (albeit it crappy) on another thread.

Me think I gonna really dig this one....will give it another few goes but this seems to be the standout for me so far

i'm going to wait till i can hear it off the album

DonJon

Yeah fair play to ya.

Im listening to anything that comes out now....and Im liking it muchly. The guitar in Supersonic sound friggin awesome

Me too! I'm not listening to anything but The Fixer and Got Some until the album comes out. I heard a little bit of Just Breathe when I was watching the Backspacer video but pulled my earphones out while that song was on.....I have a general idea of the pace and vibe of the song though unfortunately....and the snippet I heard didn't really jump out at me.

going just of the 'the fixer' and the few seconds i heard of 'the end' this will be an amazing album, similar feel to last album but more a cross between if yeild and vitalogy go togeth and produced a love child. I cant wait for it, can i have it now!

i went to jb and they were out of it, but i did pick up ben harpers new album and its not too bad

doompony

it's typical finn-goodness. even when he was 14 he was writing top-notch tunes so it's no real surprise.

so its worth purchasing then as i have not heard any of his stuff, would say any one touring with pearl jam will be amazing. but i dont like kings of leon

vedder_soup

supersonic sounds punkish, ramones esk
it is where you might expect to find it online

liams new piece of work sounds nice as well
