Hmm, well at the NZ BDO they played The End, Dead, This Is How I Dissapear, Prison, and then I can't remember the order after that but they also played, I'm Not Okay, Helena, WTTBP, FLW, Thank You For The Venom, Mama, Cancer and Teenagers. I think.

Haha, I have a song off each album that I'm hoping they'll play, two of those three aren't there. I pretty much didn't expect them to be BDO sorts of songs anyway, so maybe side show. Not to worry, that's still pretty damn awesome. Thanks heaps!

No problem. Yeah, they didn't play any Bullets songs at BDO. I was hoping they'd do Our Lady Of Sorrows, but it was breath taking either way.

Our Lady of Sorrows is also on my list of 3 songs I would die to hear! Maybe they'll leave Bullets for the sideshows? Bands seem to play more current stuff at festivals. Surely they couldn't get through a whole sideshow with hardcore fans and not play one Bullets song. I was surprised that there was nothing on there, but I guess they're still in promo-stage for the new album, too.

Yeah, at the 2001 BDO in Sydney.
This girl was like right at the front while Limp Bizkit were on, and the crowd surged and she got crushed & died.
And Grinspoon played at her funeral because they were one of her favourite bands ^^,
After that they had a complete review type thing of all the security measures and all that shizz, and now they have the D-Barriers at the main stages, which basically divide the crowd and allow security/medical people easier access to the crowd and any people in trouble.
The incident happened on Australia Day, then three days later the girl died in hospital in the morning from the injuries she had suffered from. There was a BDO on that day and the BDO organisers decided to have one minute's silence that night. This was halfway through Powderfinger's set, so they stopped playing and told the crowd what was happening and Bernard Fanning said everyone was still really quiet after while they were playing 'These Days'.

Also, apparently Limp Bizkit's management requested specific barriers, but the BDO didn't set them up because of safety concerns about the type of barriers requested. I think they were called 'T-barriers' and BDO said they would restrict movement on the oval and in an emergency situation the barriers would be in the way.

Limp Bizkits were just wankers about the whole thing. the security asked them to stop playing because of what was happening in the crowd and they just didn't do anything.

And instead of trying to rebulid what had happen say sorry or that, they just left the country and left it to everyone else to fix things.
no matter who you are or how famous you are, you just don't do that

They didn't request them before the BDO started though. The BDO had already started, and then they requested the barrier.

I'd love to know what Trivium have been like at BDO. I'm not gonna get to see them at BDO cause it would mean missing out on barrier for My Chem, so I'll just wait until the sideshow to see them. Ooh, and Sick Puppies, too, how are they live? Them I'll definitely see.

Nah, he hasn't played any shows yet. There's still a chance he'll get to Melbourne but I don't have my hopes up that high.
I really want to see Frank play with his band, but there's a rumor that the entire band will come back for an Aus/NZ tour later this year.
