looking for a little help.

friend was listening to the radio the other day (the rock) and heard a song he liked. chorus was something like:

"we are, tired of waiting, tired of waiting here"

anyone know what song this is?

he is "singing" the tune in my ear as i type (not helping though) so please consider this an EMERGENCY

anyone got comments on the big day out?

i thought the whole thing was pretty average. i didn't really enjoy any of the bands, and the highlight for me was probably the $6 icecream (mmmm, strawberry...)

i got there in the afternoon and saw a couple of bands at the local produce stage. it was actually nice to hang out there cos it wasn't very full. the electric confectionaires were alright in a cute sorta "north shore" way, and motocade were alright as well. the thing that struck me most about motocade was how crappy the bassist was. spose thats not the best thing to remember about a band! (oh, that, and that the guitarist was totally porno)

at 4:45 i went to the green stage to see battles, only to have my ears raped by "the nightwatchman". sounds like: staind covering bob dylan. he even tried to pull out dirty deeds. wtf. and when i asked a security guard where battles were at, he points at the stage and says "that guy must be battles". LOL

watched the last few bands on the main stages from the stands. this wouldve been a nicer experience had the people in the stands above us not been pouring beer and vodka on us all night. shihad were (as always) a great live act, but other than the big hits, all the songs came off a bit samey. bjork was fun to watch, but felt weird on a main stage sandwiched between two rock acts. i think it could've been better in the boiler room.

ratm were good but overall i think i enjoyed the crowd reaction more than the actual band. after that i was intending on staying for supergroove, but when i got there i couldn't see anything or hear very well so we just left.

i might skip next years bdo, i think i'm getting too old and cranky for it. i'll go if hanson play though!

not including the band themselves.

i would most like to be the hot girl walking around in michael jackson's "the way you make me feel" video. she has a great mullet too!

flipside: i would hate to be the poor girl in "butterfly" (name of crappy nu-metal band eludes me right now) who has to kiss that ugly oily "man" at the end. ew ew ew!!

i've got musical A.D.D., which means i can't even listen to a song the whole way through before skipping to the next tune (yes i'm one of THOSE people). in my perfect world....

* don't play too long. this depends on the band, but i would say if you're just putting out your first album, 30 mins is more than enough. anything over an hour is overstaying your welcome. if you're a band thats been around for 15 years and you have a gazillion albums and are charging a gazillion dollars for tickets, i spose you could play a little longer, but nobody should EVER play for 3 hours. not even metallica or guns n roses. quality not quantity pls! best set i ever heard was 12 mins long, and yes it definately left me wanting more. no, i did not feel ripped off (i think it was $5 though).

* don't do the "between songs banter" thing if you don't have the personality for it. ask your most honest friends if you're not sure. also, saying shit like "-city name here- is our favourite city in the whole world!!" is lame, cliche and dishonest (most of the time) so just skip it.

* you don't have to destroy your gear if your heart is not in it. we can tell.

please add your own and also rip mine to shreds. thanks!
