they'd better not make any nasty comments about wellington... :evil: most international acts try to do that... i hope they have more class...

Are you guys sick of anything and everything related to Lord of the Rings yet?

Now please talk about me elsewhere would you....or not at all :!:

Yes so the NZ venues are all big. There will be no intimacy at any of these gigs.

Im calling the lads will no longer do small venues....which would suck

:!: Ohhh...he's getting serious now! Out comes the :!:

Okay, I'll stop now....ruin my fun, why don't you! :x

The only person you'll be getting intimate with at these gigs is the person you're squashed up next to in the Pit!

I really need to get to the States to see them at some smaller venues next year. These venues are really going to lack that spark, imo.

don't underestimate how long we kiwis have been waiting.. i remember clearly... vedder at the welli gig in 98 said "we'll see you... soon, i guess.."


WE BELIEVED HIM. granted he did come over for 7 world collide, but even that was over 8 years ago

so adeliade is going to be the best show is it? if thats the case then I will have a few at the melbourne show, and stay sober for the adeliade show!

as for seeing people drunk, dont you have the rule what happens on tour stays on tour!

of course - especially when they have to carry you back to the hotel room .... and you cant remember what the bar you drank at the night before even looks like

on that topic peter jackson is a hack! and should not have been able destroyed what was an amazing book

thou shall not pass, is the call at the munters who try and push pass

yea I reckon the NZ shows are going to be something pretty special no matter what the size - when PJ take the stage after an eleven year absence I'm sure it's gonna mean something to them and us!! And I was thinking Chch was the last gig of an epic tour, but then remembered our friends in Hawai'i should definitely be seeing them after us.

And incidentally christchurch also has fixer/backspacer GA, the fixer already sold out

...........not really. the whole thing was pretty exciting for us... especially here in welli with all the stars being here and the street parties at the premieres. it was pretty choice. i still love lotr... i still squeal in delight when i see mt doom.

but i am a bit of a loser, so...

i think nz will be full of atmosphere - and im pretty sure some extra special sets will be offered up because of that big wait

i hope so - usually nz shows by big bands feel like they're going through the motions and they don't really know where they are.

I love LOTR and Peter Jackson! I've promised my bf I won't do any touristy stuff relating to LOTR without him so we can do it all next year when we go back to NZ together. He's a MASSIVE Peter Jackson fan.

I'm really looking forward to The Lovely Bones too.

not at all. if i wasnt' so scared of flying i could have jumped the ditch i guess. but i'm a big fan of australians. my ex lives in townsville actually.

relating to LOTR - at the ROTK premiere street party i was looking down at my camera after seeing all the stars walking past... well, i only got to see orlando, viggo and sean astin... looked up and neil fucking finn was right there. i shrieked. i was WAY more excited about seeing him.. hehe

i know this is way off topic, but lord of the rings was destroyed by peter jackson. the first one was good, the other two were awful. I can not watch either 2 or 3 without falling asleep, how can someone ruin an awesome moment such as the battle at helms deep! perhaps if i get a chance today i will start a thread as to why it sucks so much.

thank you. i'm a ponycorn. i like putting unicorn horns on everything... it's a compulsion. my friend is in a band from nz based in melbourne and they were touring and i said i'd make them a poster to be printed and hung in offices and such... "what do you want, unicorn or panda?" and he said "both?" and i created these......

the horn kinda got added to everything for a while...........

Leigh was going on the other night about "you better be careful drinking on tour....you usually have friends with you when you get drunk etc etc".....I said "nahhh, I've got Lindy and others there...I'll be right". I better make sure he doesn't read any of these posts! lmao

So if anyone sees me passed out somewhere, don't take any photos as evidence!

better remove his name lest he google himself and then mock me unmercilessly for my insane ramblings. though i suppose he'd be more used to them than anyone else...
