@voodoo yes and my wife jumped into the "queue" 2 minutues after I did and got through.

FUcked

NTA

Just got in now
Wife already got the tix.

I'm bailing. "Queue" my arse.

voodoo

@nta I got in, selected 4 tix, then Ticketek timed me out, grrr

Managed to get back in and grabbed 2 x tix for me and the lad - probably a win in the end....

NTA

@voodoo it is fucked. "Queue" is a pretty well known concept and these idiots can't even handle a basic routine.

Ah well, no point getting grumpy now, we got tickets!

Live music!!!

I always check recent set lists on FB before committing to tickets.

I’m at the age where I CANNOT be fucked with a band playing all the stuff off their recent albums, play the old shit goddammit.

In that regard Prince, Billy Idol, AC/DC, Gunners and Deep Purple were brilliant.

I can safely say I’ll never bother seeing the Chillis again.

I understand where you are coming from here re Chili's. Have you heard their latest singles though. Black Summer is awesome, Poster Child may grow on me.

Frusciante return has potential to revive the band after the last 3 albums.

Frusciante is a wicked guitarist, songwriter and singer….this is one of my all time favourite songs by them and it was released relatively recently….( or so it seems, it’s fucken twenty years old haha )

But overall apart form the odd decent tune they are well past their used by date in terms of new stuff in my opinion. They have left an amazing legacy of brilliant stuff from earlier though.

I love that song. Probably in my top 5 Chili songs.

I like Californication & By The Way, which I know is like admitting you like Hitler around the Chili hipsters. But they remind me of a truly great time in my life.

Stadium Arcadium was tedious & I didn't bother with the last 2 albums.

Think this new stuff sounds promising though.

I hope you’re right but I doubt it.

It’d be in the top ten songs for me but shit you could just about get a top ten from “Blood Sugar” alone. Fuck me that was an amazing album. Their ABSOLUTE peak, then again the one right before and the one right after were fucken awesome too. What a Band they are.

Foo Fighters have opened a second date in Melbourne.

Mate of mine in Adelaide is quietly seething that they aren't heading there, but "they'll go to the shithole known as Auckland"

Isn’t that the Hutt Valley of Australia ?

Adelaide is great. Not the most amazing CBD, but food and wine is awesome and weather is mint.

Excellent traffic around the CBD tho - there are a lot of little bars and things popping up. It adequately reflects a city of its size.

@voodoo I've only been there once in 06. Thought the Adelaide Hills were nice. The Vineyards are a bit too spread out compared to somewhere like Hawkes Bay or Marlborough. You do get Tiger Snakes in the SA vineyards though - as in just outside the Jacobs Creek Visitors Centre

The CBD itself was OK. Very small. Could park right outside the Adelaide Oval and walk out into the middle and no one would stop you.

Adelaide 16 years ago was summed up for me by the walking tour guidesheet that you could pick up at the Information Centre #14 Patels Supermarket. Since 1998 you can purchase Asian foodstuffs and even rent Indian movies.

So an eight year old Asian grocery was considered by the city authorities one of the city's highlights

Another thought. SA vineyards are very liberal in their interpretation of geographical descriptions like Hill and Valley

Until you get to the Flinders Ranges, there isn't much change in the landscape around those parts. All relative.

@nta Big Fucking Country

But fairly open - I did a day trip in December that was about 870km, took 16 hours but that was with breaks and some forest driving that slowed things down significantly.
