They'd played Rapidfire Tollbooth at nearly every show since Jon Theodore had left, so it wasn't the first ever time they'd played it. They played a new song (which I forget the name of) later on in the set that they'd never played before.

They also played all the amputechture tracks nearly exactly as they are on the album because it was their first gig with that drummer. I would say they'd be back to their old jams and what not by now.

I wouldn't rule them out for BDO '08, they seem to be pretty tight with Lees and West. They've also got a new album coming out later on this year. They're pretty hardworking and have played 4 shows here in the last 3 years! It could be Sparta's turn for another BDO performance though.....

RATM seem to be the biggest rumour at the moment. The Smashing Pumpkins are also a big possibility but hopefully they don't play, I've heard that pretty much all their performances since they re-formed (if you want to call it that) have been complete rubbish. RATM would be awesome and much more worthy of the headline spot to be honest....

Most live footage of the Pumpkins I have seen is terrible. And that's the OLD footage from the 90's. Corgan's voice is almost always sub-par.

I read that on wikipedia, so it's pretty unreliable. Rapidifrew tollbooth was released on omars solo album, buffolo whatever.

Idle tooth was the name of the other new song. here is the setlist from that show.

RAPID FIRE
ROULETTE DARES
CYGNUSS VISMUND CYGMUS
VISCERA EYES
IDLE TOOTH (new....)
DRUNKSHIP OF LANTERNS
VERMICIDE
TETRAGRAMMATON
CICATRIZ ESP
MECCAMPUTECHTURE
DAY OF THE BAPHOMETS

Hmm, in reply to the guessing game,
who i want to, or think we will see in 08'

Arcade Fire
Rage Against The Machine
Smashing Pumpkins
Bjork
Klaxons
Bang Gang Deejays?
The Presets?
Midnight Juggernauts?

i have no idea about metal bands and the like, but those are my guesses so far.

Daft punk are coming around for never ever land, in december, so it would be good to see them too, but it might be a too long time braket between nevereverland and BDO... it would be great though...

It was such a fantastic show, apparently they were filming a lot of that NZ/Aus tour for a live DVD that's coming out

haha yeah I've seen that... Omar smashing his guitar into his amps was awesome! I heard an interview with him where they were talking about that incident and he said they didnt actually storm off the stage and that their set was over. Apparently some people grabbed the guy who threw the urine and handed them over to security. He got kicked out and didn't get to see RHCP haha.

Heh... like what happened at Rock in Rio in the 90's, somebody threw a bottle of piss on stage during Faith No More... not one to be outdone, singer Mike Patton doused himself in it *pukes*

God that's gross!

It was crazy seeing Omar do that coz he's usually so passive in character.
