Limp Bizkit at Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam
0 Comments. 4,041 Views. Posted 20 Jan 2011 @ 11:12am.
Missing out on seeing Limp Bizkit in their prime in Melbourne on their 2001 Australian tour was very disappointing, especially as a metal-hungry 16-year-old. When guitarist Wes Borland left, their music went horribly wrong and I thought that was it for the band. Thankfully Borland returned and now, almost 10 years later, I got the opportunity to see them play the songs that... Read More

Well, well, well. Powderfinger have decided to call it a day, before risking being one of those never-ending bands touring every 'Best Of' release… and for that, we shall see.

Anyway, with the threat of never playing again, I figured it be an apt time to pay my respects, and with live juggernaut The Vasco Era opening the show,... Read More

" It was a real sort of dementia. I felt like I was completely out of my mind. I remember feeling very dizzy and disconnected from reality, I was making a big mess of my songs and I didn't know the lyrics - a very strange sensation, especially for someone like me who's never been high in my life. To be out of control of my own mind was fairly -... Read More
