MONSTERS!!!

[surgeyX]

Nice attempt but audio sucks.

[maljaebul]

Heaps of thanks for this vid! I remember that I was in Brisban till like June and saw the poster of this tour, but I had to leave Australia and miss this show and felt so bad :(

[dinkum93]

I was 15 and I snuck into the concert haha absolutely awesome!!! Who could pass up Opeth, I really felt so gutted for those that didn't get in though, I got the news a day before, I was ready to kill someone and was thinking of not going to try but got convinced and made it count.

[TehPsychoCeramic]

how the fuck did you sneak in?

[dinkum93]

I managed to use my older brothers passport which happened to have an older picture in it, and luckily out of the 2 security guards at the door, I got the easier one. I guess I look a bit older than I thought lol.

[JsSVisions]

[cantkilltheboogeyman]

I was on the stairs.

WTF was with the tickets, I felt so sorry for the under 18s.

You guys should rally up to the ticket shop!!

[StillLifeStillDeath]

wow, they wouldnt even give you a refund? thats fuckin bullshit, are you gonna do anything about you? fuckin ridiculous.

[BringMeTheCalm]

That venue made such an asshole move.

I wonder if Mikeal made some comments about it...

[eman1967]

on his blog he ranted and got pissed about it. he will all make it up to them.

[ledimsk]

Go fredrik on the backing vocals!!

[DeadLetterOpener]

yeah someone post up Demon of the Fall

c'mon kents

[LeviHoad]

I am so pissed off that under 18's were sudenly not allowed to go at the last minute! I had been looking forward to this concert for months.

[faciolo90]

That's why it should protested. In europe anybody can go and watch Opeth... The Australian government doesn't know how much money is losing and how much this puts down the musical scene in Brisbane (losing even more money), but also in Australia... This is why the australian music scene is so small in compare to Europe and America. Even though sometimes in America they have the same problem, people react.

[LeviHoad]

It isn't a government issue. From my knowledge I think it was just Oztix acting on their own to please the Police before they suggest anything.

But then again, I could be wrong.

[Yunyuny]

"In europe anybody can go and watch Opeth"

I'm sorry to say.. That's not true :/

[Agalloch333]

Dude me too...Getting cut off at the door felt like shit. :(

And not to mention I cant even get a refund for my ticket.

[LeviHoad]

They won't refund your ticket?!

That is bullshit! Not to mention illegal!

I am a bit more fortunate in that I got emailed the news the day before.

We should start planning the slow and painful demise of Oztix!

[grenade310tri]
