Big Day Out 2009

AWESOME.

I saw Cobra Khan, Black Kids, Elemeno P, Bullet For My Valentine, Pendulum, The DHDFD's, Lupe Fiasco, The Datsuns, Serj Tankian, My Morning Jacket, The Mint Chicks, The Living End, Arctic Monkeys, Dropkick Murphys, Pewee Ferris, and The Prodigy.

Black Kids were really good, even though I didn't know any of their songs, probably my second favourite act of the day.
The BFMV mosh pit was sooooooooooo much fun. They were fucking AMAZING, although they didn't play End Of Days or Hearts Burst Into Fire.
Pendulum were also really awesome, I was in the moshpit for most of their set, until I got hungry (I hadn't eaten since 10am, and it was 4pm).
The DHDFD's were really really good.
I saw about 15 minutes of Serj Tankian, before I went to see the Mint Chicks. Kody was wearing a Zebra costume, and Ruban was wearing the head of some sort of animal costume (it was a cow I think) and a tiger tail. They were good, but not as good as I'd hoped they would be.
Arctic Monkeys were good, I think I was too tired to enjoy them much though.
I went and got some food near the end of Arctic Monkeys, and with my renewed energy I really enjoyed Dropkick Murphys, even though I only knew one of their songs, they were really awesome.
And then I left about halfway through the Prodigy, because my feet were killing me.

I took some crappy photos of Bullet on my phone, and my dad took some pretty good ones of them on his camera, which I will post in a moment.

They're huge so I'll post links.

they didnt play hearts burst into fire?! shit i thought they definately would have.
did they play tears dont fall, suffocating under words of sorrow, hit the floor, all these things i hate (revolve around me), the poison, cries in vain, eye of the storm, forever and always, scream aim fire? lol

I know! I was pretty disappointed that they didn't.
They played Tears Don't Fall, Eye Of The Storm, Take It Out On Me, and Scream Aim Fire.
They didn't play All These Things I Hate or Forever and Always. (at least, I'm almost certain they didn't).
And I'm not sure about the rest.

yeh that songs so awesome.
gahhh i love eye of the storm. i always get it stuck in my head
did they talk much? the first time i heard them speak i died laughing coz of their accents

lol yeah their accents are so awesome xD
Matt said quite a lot, I don't really remember what exactly. I remember that he told us that they're from Wales, and according to my dad they swear a lot, which is true lol.
Oh and before they played a song (don't know which), he was looking at the setlist, and he said that they were meant to play a beautiful song, but he didn't think they should. So he asked us whether we wanted a beautiful or heavy song, and everyone shouted 'HEAVY!'. So they played the heavy song, and it was sooo awesome.

haha aww. i love them. i got the scream aim fire deluxe edition for xmas.. i love the dvd so so much

Ahhh lucky!!

I just remembered that they also played Say Goodnight.

aww yay!
ok what about pendulum? did they play Granite, Showdown & Propane Nightmares?
and did The Prodigy play Invaders Must Die?

The Pendulum crowd was HUGE. I didn't realise until I saw videos of it on youtube, but I was pretty close to the front.
They played Fasten Your Seatbelt, Propane Nightmares, Blood Sugar, Slam, and Voodoo People. I know they played other songs of In Silico, I just can't put names with songs on that album... so I dunno which songs they were.

The Prodigy played World's On Fire, and that's all I can remember.

RAWR!
The two bands I went for I was on barrier; Elemeno P and The Living End.
I met Dave and Lani earlier in the day and got a photo with them. I had a rad day. Not as good as 07. But still pretty sweet.
