I finally saw the mighty Alice In Chains last night at the Soundwave festival here in Melbourne. I might write about the festival one day. I might not.
I took some photos with my new Canon Ixus 980is. Was the first time i used it. Not bad results. But if id had some more experience with it these might have turned out a bit better.
Some notes;
1/ Alice were amazing. I wasnt going to go at first cause in my arrogant opinion it wasnt Alice without Layne. But then someone convinced me to go. But William is a great vocalist and puts quality into Laynes work. Im looking forward to hearing the new album later this year.
2/ Great setlist. I got everything i wanted to hear - including Angry Chair!!!!
3/ These photos are mostly black & white, cause, well, it rocks
4/ These photos are mostly of Jerry Cantrell, cause, well, he rocks
5/ Homeboy Andy S wasnt in attendance with me, but i was rockin hard for both of us
6/ A roadie was behind Jerry's amps in the first few songs flashing a large sign at Mike Inez. The sign read "friends dont let friends get friends haircut" This was the message written on Mike's acoustic bass during the Mtv Unplugged performance back in 1996. Its rumoured it was in reference to the recent epic event in metal - Metallica cutting their hair. I say "epic" as the haircuts were a big deal in the music press back in 96. I was more concerned about Metallica wearing makeup.
Big thanks to Alicia for the evil jedi mind trick texts back in October and convincing me to go to the festival.
