you're joking, right, HigherSinner.
Different strokes for different fokes, I guess... I'm excited about PJ Harvey and Queens of the Stone Age, plus the NZ bands are always fun.

Why would i be joking??

Well, I know I'd be joking if I said I was looking forward to seeing The Deftones. Numetal can kiss my ass.

//Well, I know I'd be joking if I said I was looking forward to seeing The Deftones. Numetal can kiss my ass.

deftones are not this numetal thing you speak of. they've released three albums, one being straight out aggressive; one oozing sex guitars and melodies; and the other which is as haunting as it is beautiful. doesn't sound very numetal to me.

as long as chino stays sober, it'll be a fucking blast.

come on dude, chino hasn't been sober for about 3 and a half years now ;)

Pacifier and the Vines are also going to be there.
Foo Fighters are gonna be wicked!

I HATE the word "nu-metal". ..and Deftones are not "nu-metal"

i heard that good charlotte might also be there

me too

did anyone here the rumour about korn coming to the bigdayout2003?
so looking forward to the deftones and blindspott!!!

yeah I heard that about Korn

is it true or not are korn really coming to the bigdayout2003? does anyone know yet?

cuz they are rumoured to be coming to nz thats what i heard on channelz quite a while ago

i'll sign a petition to keep them away.

Hahaha same here.

hey Vitetnow and soph_ie wats ur problem with korn?

oops im mean vietnow sorry i spelt ur name wrong

Damn keyboard

You asked me that about blindspott as well. Each to their own aye.

hey Vietnow guess wat!!
YOU SUK SHIT!!!
Korn is the greatest band that ever lived!!!!

GO KORN!!!

//Korn is the greatest band that ever lived!!!!
haha, yeah right!!

Korn are rumoured to be coming to the big day out but it is at the moment only a rumour. I also heard rumours that Phantom Planet, Puddle of Mudd and Weezer will be coming. I guess we'll just have to wait till the next line-up announcement.
Anyone know when that is?

sounds like rumours are going overboard cos i also herd the dick dj on zm (was in my mothers car and she has it on zm!!) said that he reckons Incubus might be coming.... so who knows!!???

I've also heard rumours of AudioSlave & Guns n' Roses

doubt incubus will come. theyve just come out of band therapy and are app. beginning recording at the end of the year.

i tried to start a rumour of audioslave and gunners. maybe it worked...

I'll sign the petition too, Vietnow. Back to the NuMetal argument - my difinition being big bad boys singing cry-baby lyrics over top of thin, bad sounding guitars and drums. I think there's also some connection with glam metal - costumes, stage make up. More about the image than the musical content.
Has anyone heard if any of the bands/ artists playing are doing gigs anywhere else while they're here?
Imagine if Gunners played.

nothing wrong with glam metal mate

Glam metal rocks.
There is no way that glam metal can even be compared to nu-metal.
But glam metal definitely rocks.

DEFTONES AND KORN FUCKIN ROCK BITCHES!!

yeah!! i so agree with 8FootSativa!!

I don't, but Deftones are alright, I leave Korn for the 14yr old boys.

ha ha ha ha tama drummer u so have a point there about korn and 14yr old boys!!

p.s. Korn still ROCK!!

I like Korn's first 2 albums ..Self titled is awesome

http://www.highersin.cjb.net ]

i really like their lastest "untouchables" the best!!
yeah i agree the selftitled one ROCKS!!

i hope they come to the bigdayout2003 love to see them there!

Jimi, I wasn't dissing glam metal. There's an element of satire/ parody to it which sets it apart from the "I'm meaner/ badder/ scarier" side to Nu Metal.

i personaly like all genres with the word metal in them so i dont really see the big argument.
the different styles of metal just really deend on the different styles of music influenced the bands who play.
so really who really knows the next style of metal which is gonna arise
it could even be a mix of pop reggae and heavymetal(god help us if it is) but it all just depends on the musical style and age of the listener

kwestion u have a very good point there

dear lord. and *NOBODY* has mentioned Kraftwerk yet. I'm going all the way up there for that reason alone heh. and I'm gonna throw ralf & florian a pair of my undies.

Maybe not here in the bar, but a few have mentioned them in one of the other BDO threads.

"WE ARE THE ROBOTS"
Are you for real?

Yaaaaay!!!! Kraftwerk!!!!!!!
