Certainly wouldn't be my pick as Headliner.

"At 62, he's 4 years older than the previous oldest act Iggy Pop (58)". Iggy Pop is awesome though.

[Headbanger]

Biggest let down ever.

Without trying to disrespect Neil and his elder-status.

Thats a big Fuck no for me.

(though it may just turn out to be the event of the year for all I know)

[Nagash]

Hell, i'm a fan of Neil Young. Anyone who performed at the original Woodstock is okay with me, i'll be attending.

[ynot slow]

Saw him in 1986? in Western Springs,he started out with International Harvester and finished with Crazy Horse,was excellent.

[Headbanger]

Being the total flake that I am, Just spent a half hour watching various recent live performances, Have decided to change my position to being interested depending on the rest of the line-up.

Though I was hoping for Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.........:weep:

[Trudes]

Good god, what a joke! Oh well, maybe some other really good acts will turn up. I mean he's ok, but not really someone who's going to get the mosh-pit all excited at 10pm now is he?!:yawn:

[Nagash]

I mean he's ok, but not really someone who's going to get the mosh-pit all excited at 10pm now is he?!:yawn:

Ah yes, but this'll be when all the stoners will be distributing freely.

[Bren]

NOTHIN WRONG WITH SOUTHERN ROCK! i love the stuff...might be a good excuse to go to BDO

[Gubb]

Never said there was.

But with a gig that has previous headliners of Metallica, Slipknot, Iggy Pop, Soundgarden, Rage against The Machine, Tool, Marilyn Manson, I just figured there would be someone a little more ...youth-oriented.

I still boogie out to Lynard Skynard on a frequent basis.

[bomma]

oh maaaan there are a select few geezers that can still get the crowds goin and are worth seeing and Neil Young aint one of em!! Still i might be working at BDO so dont mind geting paid to go see him :niceone:

[lostinflyz]

im young but WHO???

[Motu]

Saw him in 1986? in Western Springs,he started out with International Harvester and finished with Crazy Horse,was excellent.

I was there,and it was one of the best concerts I've been to.He's no precision lead guitarist,he's just thrash gunge....and with your head in the right space it's great stuff!

[ynot slow]

I was there,and it was one of the best concerts I've been to.He's no precision lead guitarist,he's just thrash gunge....and with your head in the right space it's great stuff!

Then afterwards it was played on one of the radio stations,almost like a delayed version of the event.

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Only one performer can make this the best BDO yet - here he is...

[Mully]

I hear they are trying to line John Rowles up to support him.

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Neil Young is not a BDO act, more of a New Plymouth or Mission Winery thing.
However, if he does his Crazy Horse stuff it could be quite exciting - plastic hip joint 'n all.
Hell, what other old cunts could line up for BDO :rockon:?

[Nagash]

Yeah, was gonna say..

I hope you're not just listening to his acoustic stuff.

I assume he'll be playing his electric items for BDO, suiting the crowd and what not. May be more the thing you're after.

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Or this. Still, I can't see him winning over the mosh pit generation unless he really does summat special.

[puddytat]

Some off his later stuff is awesome I reckon, & he's done alot off other stuff with some diverse people....Sonic Youth etc ,so he could well be rockin' harder than some off you young whippersnappers think....:Punk:

[Jez]

sorry ... but Niel Young aint my kinda idea for a headline act in front of the target audience of a big day out ... unless they are trying to age the crows a little with other headline acts in the same vein of Niel Young.

Dont get me wrong, im a fan of Niel Young, but in front of 40,000 16 - 25 year olds (like it or not they are the majority of that crowd) i just dont think it will work. However if they got in other old school acts then the crowd might go from 16-25 to 25+ which would indeed make it a event worth travelling from Invercargill for ... Im of the opinion after going to a few BDO's and concerts here and in Japan that the crowd accounts for how good a gig is as much as the artist playing :rockon:

If your such a fan why can't you spell Neil correctly??????

[Jez]

If your such a fan why can't you spell Neil correctly??????

If you're going to be particular about spelling, then perhaps you should correct yourself also??????????? :lol:

[Murray]

If you're going to be particular about spelling, then perhaps you should correct yourself also??????????? :lol:

because I don't state that I am am a fan of it and then misspell it 3 times

[Murray]

If you're going to be particular about spelling, then perhaps you should correct yourself also??????????? :lol:

Sorry just have a phobia about Neil as its my big brothers name and he always gave me shit about getting it wrong!!!!

[Curious_AJ]

man, if not for anyone else thats gunna be performing, I'll DEFINATELY be there to see Neil Young! by the way, not only older people like Neil, I'm 19 and I love him and so do a lot of my 19-23 year old friends...we can't surely be the only ones that like him at this age.

I'm in the same age bracket and I think he's absolutely brilliant.

Though I do agree that he's not for the mosh-loving crowd.

But i'm sure they'll be a few other bands to accomodate for that.

[tommorth]

i'll be there as usual rekon he will be bloody good
beastie boys headlined a few years ago and I thought that was shit

its always the random stuff thats really good any one see That One Guy at lilly pad last year he was freakn awsome as was Freq Nasty about 5 years ago
or The Presets or the Checks performance at the last one rekon they have really lifted the game since they first played there

[Magua]

Oh hell yes.

[James Deuce]

They should change the name to Mildly Irritating Day Out.

Damn Pearl Jam the Voodoo they used to resurrect those shambling sideburns.

I should score some good stuff and blow a valve at the Pendulum gig.

The tarantula,
Time for the massive come sing ya,
The tarantula,
Don't play with my style I might sting ya,
The tarantula,
You want me inject me bacteria,
And if ya body goin' stiff,
And your spine goin' numb,
Now come for get some...

Tiki should be good live too.

[Gubb]

Always had massive respect for Tiki and 'The Dub', looking forward to seeing him solo for the first time.

Must admit to being slightly bemused at the somewhat-attempt to make it a more 'family friendly event.

[Dave Lobster]

Prodigy live.. oh yes..

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VLMFL-P6xIg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VLMFL-P6xIg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

[rachprice]

Yeah I agree with it trying to be family-friendly....
It also seems like its getting less rock/hard and more mainstream.... there is isnt much to have a good mosh to!

[Nagash]

Prodigy.. god I was happy when I heard they were gonna be there.

Fun times in the boiler room I can assure you!

May have to wear the leathers and kevvlar gloves for abit of added fun.

Also looking forward to Tiki Taane, he's got a few decent songs that sound just like what my mates play in their garage. Really simple stuff but damn it sounds good.

And Nick, I would agree with you on the Living End, IF they played their earlier stuff. But songs like 'White Noise' are just fucking stupid..

[Gubb]

Mate, Living End are one of the best live bands on the Planet, never seen a bad show from them, from the 10 or so times i've seen 'em.

Haven't heard the new album though.

[Trouser]

The Living End are fantastic live. And The Prodigy will bring back a few memories........But

The Ting Tings.......Awesome, I'm so, like, there.

[Cheshire Cat]

:banana:

[Usarka]

Second anouncement was a bit of an anticlimax......... :baby:

[Gubb]

Dropkick Murphy's will chuck out a few anthems.

Serj Tankians' solo effor5t is pretty weak though.

[Nagash]

DROPKICK MURPHEYS!!!!!!

Okay.. now i officially can't fucking wait..

My favourite punk band of all time.. I'll have to go kill some fucks in the mosh pit and then chill out to Neil Young.

Should be fucking good.

[cynna]

sucks how dkm and neil young overlap - the only 2 bands a really want to see

saw dkm a twice a couple of years ago - so might have to miss the end of them to see neil young

[cynna]

about to fly off soon - will be spending most of the next few days at the hotel pool doing nothing. cant wait

[noobi]

I still think that BDO 07 was the best
One of the best lineups so far in my opinion
Tool
Muse
Jet
Trivium
The Killers
Violent Femmes
The Streets
Kasabian
Eskimo Joe

[Nagash]

I still think that BDO 07 was the best


That was then, this is now.

If they had the same bands as last year I think you'd have even more pissed off people..

I'm actually quite excited about this Big Day Out seeing as i've missed the last two.

'07 due to a broken arm, and '06 due to a dislocated knee.

I've been making every caution to not injure myself again this year..
