Big Day Out '09

[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 ?

[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.

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....

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

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

[Jez]

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

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

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

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.
