I agree. While I'll BE in Brazil at the time and get lynched if I wear anything but a Brazil jersey, my $ will be on Spain this time 'round.
Still, it is a BLAST to be there during the WC. I was there the last time they won and, man, what a party! Ever see 10 people standing on TOP of a palm tree cheering on a team? It is freakin' crazy.

I see Argentina as a possible winner too. Can't wait for the tournament to start!

LOL! Yep a massive twat. He needs a punch in the head.
I have paid hardly any attention to rugby this year, but I would be surprised if we won the tri-nations. Bledisloe we may win only cos Aussie is poos, or has been in recent times, but who knows.

Grella is bloody lucky he didn't break Bertos' leg in that first tackle, what an idiot. The number of Aussies around the place saying 'aggression is part of the game, kiwis just need to harden up' is a little mind boggling - it's soccer, not boofhead style rugby league. If they play like that in the world cup they will get smoked and will lose players for games due to red cards.
I'd say if we keep on playing how we are we will really push a few teams in the WC. After this mornings win the other teams in our pool will be sitting up and taking more notice.

Yeah he refs in the States and apparently he's a real no bullshit type of ref, loves handing out the reds. I'd say the reason he kept them in his pocket would be that if anyone got a red they'd be forced to sit out world cup games. Bet ya anything the Aussies knew the ref wasn't going to be sending people off and kept that piece of info to themselves whilst they went about trying to wreck our chances by injuring guys. Aussies are sneaky, underhanded, little pissants and they hate it when things aren't going their way.

A brilliant result for NZ, and like you said will surely give us a confidence boost going in to our next friendly match and the WC.

Huge confidence builder for our guys before the tournament starts.

Cheers Joe, Bud! Would be cool if I got to meet Scott and get an autograph, like you say Joe, meeting my favourite drummer would be so awesome lol!
Yeah the main concert on the saturday night will need to finish pretty well on 11pm cos of noise control stuff, the midnight sessions are held somewhere else in the city and are for a smaller group of people. So they should be fine lol. |

Yeah, I saw the website before I signed off last night. Ever-evolving linup that is Hail!
Good. Looks like quite the eclectic lineup of bands / artists participating in the event. What also struck me as a "what the hell kinda country is this?" moment is when I saw what TIMES they were playing. Here, all shows have to be fairly punctual if they are outside. Usually, MUST end at 11pm or they risk fines for noise violations. Were I in Spain, a concert often wouldn't START until 11pm.
A show like Ozzfest starting at 11am, once you are in you are trapped. Heat of Nashville in Summer, can't bring in even your own water? SUX!

Here's what the G-Taranaki website says about the Hail! lineup: "Joining Owens onstage will be guitar virtuoso Tony MacAlpine, legendary bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm/Blue Murder/Whitesnake) and Judas Priest drummer Scott Travis."

Good for you, Becks. Too bad the passing of Slipknot bassist, Paul Gray will mark some sadness on this tour. He was to take the place of Dave Ellefson who was slated to return to Megadeth.
Thought the Slipknot drummer, Paul Bostaph, was to tour with them, though. Read all about it when I read of Gray's death. Perhaps Gray's death shook up the drummer as well leaving the position to Travis?

Ok I am VERY excited about this! In August there is something in my home province (Taranaki) called G-Taranaki, an international guitar fesitval which started last year. This years headliner was announced a couple of weeks ago - Slash. I thought yep I'd pay to see him. But today it got a thousand times better! A band called Hail! are playing - formed by Ripper Owens, and guess who's on drums??????
SCOTT TRAVIS!!!!
I can't fuckin wait!!!!!! I'm actually going to see a member of Judas Priest live!!!!!! May seem small to some people, but I am so so excited to see a member of my favourite band live! I wonder if I'll be able to track him down and get him to sign something and get a pic with him, lol.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

You should be pleasantly surprised with Slash. I saw him this weekend and he put on a very
good concert. A few of his songs were a little slow for me but overall he was pretty rockin'. He
had a heavy, bluesy, kind of sound. He played some Guns and Roses songs also. Night Train
and Sweet Child O' Mine. I'm so sick of hearing that song, definitely the lowlight for me but the
crowd loved it. Also Scott Travis is approachable. He seems very laidback and enjoys the fan
interaction. Ripper should be cool also. He's also approachable should you want to meet him.
Take care and have a goodtime.
