Well mercury solo, QOTSA are legendary in australia, considering they are a pretty new band..but they do have a cult following in Oz....they were here for The Big Day Out (this huge festival we have in Jan..ATDI were the same year..so were Pj Harvey)....I saw them there and at the Annandale...the annandale fits like 300 people and we were really suprised to think they were only worth that number....but the smaller the venue the happier punter I am....they were fantastic and then some....they were even wandering around during the support gig cause I remember spying THAT beard on Nick Oliveri at the bar. They even played a Kyuss song ( I dont remember which)...
Are you into Ween at all....and what do you mean that you work ar concerts...like to hear more bout that....

Big Day Out usually has good rock lineups, right? I remember that Smashing Pumpkins played there in '93 or '94, they even covered "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"... I didn't know that QOTSA was big over there. They're a great band, and not many people I've heard of have known about them, even people that lived in the High Desert.
I haven't really heard a lot of Ween, I remember seeing some videos of theirs, though, they sounded good. I remember a few years ago, people at my high school would get Ween, Weezer, and Wheatus confused. I was really surprised how big Weezer became after their comeback, though. There's a lot more Weezer fans now than there used to be.
and I just bought Songs for the Deaf today, it's awesome. I like this kind of rock, it really does sound like Kyuss, Nirvana, and Screaming Trees put together. Paz Lenchantin and Twiggy Ramirez even make appearances. The one I got came with a free DVD, haven't seen what's on it yet, though.

hey mercman, don't think i'm a copycatter but i bought songs for the deaf ,too....it is bad ass. i never really heard them before. but the whole album is tight. i really dig this bands style. which one do you think is better. rated r or songs for the deaf? anyways, i'm thinking of getting rated r as well.

Yeah, Songs for the Deaf is awesome as hell... that and Wiretap Scars have been the best $24 I've spent in a long time, heh... Songs for the Deaf has a lot more hard rock riffage than Rated R, but Rated R is a great album... Rolling Stone gave it a better review than Songs for the Deaf ( R: *** 1/2 , SFTD: *** )... Yeah, definitely get Rated R... I still gotta get their first album, the self-titled one... oh, and on another note, I found the ATD-I Sunshine split in The Underground (indie record department store, if that makes sense), it was $12, though, so I decided on QOTSA instead... wise decision or not? For me, though, it kinda was, 'cause I won't be having any disposeable income again anytime soon

wise decision alright. i bought the split and i was pretty dissapointed. i mean extracurricular was an awesome jam and auto relocater was ok. but thats it. only 2 atd-i jams on that cd. and sunshine wasn't my style. too boring for me.
you can always download those two jams

cool... thanks for the info, I wasn't sure if I had a primo oppurtunity with the split, but usually that store charges a little pricey for "rareities". I like this album more every time I listen to it... this is the music that rock has been missing, this is the last part of the hole that the White Stripes, The Strokes, The Vines, and The Hives couldn't fill... good ol' fashioned riffage with warped tuning...
