A guest for They Might Be Giants · Sat, 07 Nov 2015
These guys were amazing! It was a great atmosphere, and I really enjoyed the whole thing. They were really funny when they chatted between songs!
A guest for Colin Hay · Wed, 20 May 2015
Such a treat! The sound was amazing 5he venue was stunning. Colin Hay is still my all time favorite storyteller and there's no mistaking that voice. Thank you for sharing
A guest for Ace Frehley · Sat, 02 May 2015
Very lacklustre in places, I actually preferred when the other musicians sang as opposed to Ace as he sang very out of tune for a lot of his vocal parts. He nailed his solos, which I guess is what he is best known for.
A guest for DJ Shadow · Fri, 06 Mar 2015
Melbourne got a great lesson on how to do it proper, Shadow and Cut Chemist casually tore up Arika Bambatta's collection, each drop and mix was goosebump worthy, mixed with great visual elements, the way these boys tear it up is almost like watching a laid back DMC team battle. They put alot of work into that set clearly! Not to mention, to be able to sift through Bam's records i could only think what mind boogling type of experience that would of been.
Id like to thank the promoters for a great job, as the turnout was healthy,though, what really was worrying was that the promoters clearly dont know who to book for support!!
One DJ who bills herself as an 'International Party DJ' was an absolute embarresment to herself, mixing is always sloppy and track selection was more suited for an over 28s night at Doncaster RSL.. Jamiroqui? Really? Micheal Jackson bootlegs? Really? Give the crowd more credit and headback to bedroom for practice!
Melbourne has serious diggers(Chris Gill, Ransom, etc), serious skilled DJs (Dexta!, J-Red etc) that would of been alot better suited..
All in all had a ball, and would love to see them again!

A guest 100% for Kreator · Wed, 14 Feb 2024
Have been a Kreator fan for nearly 40 years. What i witnessed last night was mind blowing. I am too old to get in the mosh pit but i really wanted to! The most impressive thing last night was the sound quality, it was superb. The bass almost physically lifted you off the floor. Am nursing one hell of a hangover today, but it was all worth it. The best thrash concert i have been to. Yes i saw Metallica in the early days and have also seen Slayer several times. Once again, the presentation, the stage and sound quality was unbelievable. Well done to all involved, the Forum is an awesome place for gigs such as this. Please keep bringing gigs like this to your venue.
