I have much love in my heart

Chemical brothers as a group, as an act and as part of our youth are an amazing duo and im happy to say im a fan

However, im also a fan of tool, fear factory and other metal shit... but even they have a time and a place... and that is in a concert

Chemical brothers would be better to see as an act, rather than a close set at a festival which was this year heavily influenced by progressive, techno and electro house... chemical brothers do not fit that equation because they are so unique

and what about all of the 18-19 year olds at future... when block rockin beats and setting sun came out, they would have been 6 years old!!! It makes me angrryyyyyyyyyy

Last year Ferry did a ripper of a closing set... it made alot of peoples day, and it was like 20 Fity Billion FOusandz times more energetic that Chemical Brothers were... WHen i left FMF 07, i was so pumped, the set left me with energy and happiness

This set... left me a little dissapointed... it lacked energy, the crowd is so fkn fake, everyone sat there pretending to like it, i couldnt handle it i had to leave... i went home saying, well it was good when Digweed came out..

Come on, a closing act should be of epic proportions... EPIC

Ferry = Epic
Halliwell = Epic
Eric Morillo = Epic
David Guetta = Epic
Daft Punk = Epic

Chemical Brothers = Too flat to close

i'm pretty sure i mentioned i wanted to see them on their own at their concert but didnt get tickets so had to go to future
where were you when they were on?? i was down the front and it did not lack energy, the crowd was not fake as they were going off and the people around me at least were not pretending to like it. i already said the way they finished was kinda crap so in that respect perhaps it was not the best close. but remember all the sound problems at good vibrations, read the thread on itm, they may have had to finish like that cause of sound issues or something. also you already mentioned the lineup, a few people here and itm have been saying similar kinda things so maybe they didnt really fit like that as well. just read all the bitching about halliwell! so maybe like egos said as a close it perhaps wasn't the best but as an act at a show i think they were mad

i'd never seen them before and had a mad time. so even though there were a couple of things that could have been a bit better ie hearing block rocking beats and playing longer hehe i was happy with their performance

although i enjoyed their set i agree that they would have been MUCH better at their own show.

the only reason i went to fmf was cos i missed out on tix to their main show so im def not complaining about getting a second chance to see them

I don't quite get your point here?
Because some people are young they are not allowed to appreciate some classic tunes?

I saw some EPA guy telling the sound tech to turn it down but he told him to beat it haha. Though I'm guessing that couldn't have ended well...

Originally posted by EgosXII because i went in early to see eddie play a trance set: i wasn't too dissapointed because i thought he would play a housey one... then there was a big wwait till 8:30- i could have left, but what a fucking waste of a ticket: so i sat in the dirt, and listened to some ok music... i was OPTIMISTIC the day would pick up, hence my DISSAPOINTMENT that it didn't. it's human to have expectations: obviously you didn't know what you were going to see at future, if you didn't feel strongly about it: just like all the muzzas have a great time because they don't know 1 name on the bill: they just go to hang out with friends, or maybe fight and take drugs... wish i was like them... i was going to see some great musicians play: i expected a good show. simple. i didn't go to hang out with friends (it's an added bonus)-- you'd have to be pretty silly to pay $130 to hang out with friends-- why not sit outside the bowl and have chats?

1: you can leave and come back - they DO offer pass-outs... perhaps you and your mates who were having such a shit time could've ducked over to a cafe on st kilda road for a coffee and feel optimistic while escaping shit sound quality and dj's who can't dj

2: you know god damned well that there are gonna be muzzas at every fkn event - if you dont know this by now then you shouldnt bother blurting your bullshit on internet forums to people who do know this

3: yes it is human to have expectations - i came to an event expecting to have a good time and i did. chem brothers played a nice set, the visuals for the arena were fairly well made...

oh and by the way: you paid $130 to see eddie halliwell expecting a house set. then you went to see chemical brothers instead of marcus schultz... so do you not like trance or something?

my video footage of hey boy hey girl shows quite a lot of ppl who were fair fkn energetic

although i do agree that chemical brothers are perhaps better suited to an event such as Big Day Out -- after remembering how crushed i got at sidney myer music bowl during armin's set in summadayze '05 - i enjoyed having more room to move during chem bros tbh

i thout eddie might play a house set, but as most people who i spoke to assured me he'd play what he always played (a trance set), i was dissapointed-- and i saw markus shulz, not chemical brothers- was a great set

as i said, i know i could have left and come back, but I was expecting the day to pick up: it would have been a waste of money to miss out on the names i'd payed to see (digweed & vath etc): plus, i'm a fan of digweed's sets, so i was again expecting a great set from a great Dj...

I believe my point is very simple, and it has been supported by others: i was expecting something better than what was delievered; and with ticket prices that high, it's not unreasonable for me to be upset if the goods aren't delivered...

i don't complain about hardware/killrockstar events

and i suppose muzzas remain a burning issue when they're putting people at risk of physical injury. good to know you can put things out of your mind, but i suppose i can't...

No Pass Outs until 4pm

We should have all gymnasiums in the Western suburbs closed down. Maybe we could stand out the front protesting with plastic muzza's stapled to a sandwich board??

I think you really need to be up for the festival vibe or else you will always be disappointed. It can fall flat very easily. I think thats because of the high expectation.

HOW GOOD WAS STEVE MAY!!

Originally posted by -=M=- i heard he trainwrecked a hardhouse set

Is that a joke? If it is I dont get it. If it isnt... Look out!

what a crap event..seriously

I know it has nothing to do with Future but the sound at their recent events at Myer Music Bowl has been nothing short of terrible. I read a thing in The Age about neighbours of the venue complaining so it looks like they have won.

Future really needs to find a new venue for this sort of thing i think. I love the bowl and have a lot of great memories there but there really is no point having events at a venue where any side stages are like listening to music on a home stereo.

I thought Digweed and Vath were actually quite average. Saw Diggers at Q-bar and was looking forward to his set here but it was just way to flat.

I'm sorry but minimal just doesn't belong on a main stage at a festival like this in the middle to late part of the day.. I love it as a genre but it belongs in a dark, intimate environment not main stage at FMF. Vath (who i have loved since i started partying all those years ago)bored the brains out of me so bad that we left.

Future last year was my highlight of the year and i was so looking forward to this one but this year's was the event i have enjoyed least of all the events i have been to.

this thread has turned to shite

it must be ended

lol

T-soma... let me explain my comment...a group of friends, who happen to be younger (18-19), did not know the likes of chemical from the early days... this is because no 6 year old will go to Brashes (back then) and request Exit Planet Dust or Dig your own hole... These kids were still listening to Chip Munks christmas albums and the wiggles if they were even around back then.
All of a sudden future puts up the lineup for FMF and they are all like OMFG JIZZFEST its the Chemical Brothers !!! I wasnt even matured enough to know what electronic music is when they hit it big but who cares everyone else is doing it, yeaaaa lets go to FMF and pretend to know who these guys are...

No wonder everyone is complaining about how average FMF was... Its because the die hards went to see Chemical in concert, and the only ones who liked them at FMF were the ones who missed out on their concert.

Just because people drop pills at go nuts at events doesnt mean they actually like the music... its most likely the drugs talking

kids

Scott you are just pissed off that you didnt get to see me!!

Originally posted by charlee Scott you are just pissed off that you didnt get to see me!!

well....there is that as well!!

FMF this year wasnt too bad, i had a fun time, however it was more about the friends i was with then us going to see 'professional music spinners'. thought diggers played some solid tunes, however i do have to say that Markus was the highlight for me... i wasnt gaga like i have been about markus previously, however he smashed it out and dropping VDM - Fly Away (pity it was a remake) and then having the fireworks in the background was a *tear/gurn/wow* moment....

had fun, probably at the end of my festival career, and must say i had more fun the year before, but that couldve been the fact i consumed two pebbles right before nick warren thx to a bald headed TA's text msg. ...

Originally posted by batemanscott well....there is that as well!!

Well I saw Steve Strangis so basically I had the best fkn day ever!!

I played your bloody 2005 promo in my car yesterday and thought to myself... who the f#ck is this dude?

Originally posted by charlee myself... who the f#ck is this dude?

I go by many names but you can call me daddy

Agree with everything said in the last two posts.

Eddie Halliwell should have played though instead of Chem Bros, just my choice of music. Halliwell would have tech-tranced it, and whipped those muzzas from here to Grease. I saw Mark Sherry even and, man, having him at the main stage @ FMF, would have rocked. I love trance, so that why I'm bringing up these two driving dj's.
But hey, what does Future know, just commercial stuffies

Yeah I can see Mark Sherry headlining would have been a great idea

Future knows nothing. You should run the next one

u know what I mean, gosh!..lol I'd stand by the statement now, if it said Hardware + KRS (Ultraworld team) doing it there.

yeah i agree with that 100%.

i was liking both diggers and vath but that kind of stuff just isnt really suited for a day event in melbourne with the crowds they attract (unless you are really into them of course).

also say what you want about the cheese but the majority of my friends (and the crowd) really get into it, and if they are having a good time then usually so am i (unless the dj is atrociously bad ie. sinclar)

As stated previously, I think most of the time our feelings/expectations for an event are generally high and we are easily let down.

I would say this has been the case for me the last few years. I am pretty much at the end of my partying days and am sometimes hoping to re live the crazy experiences back in 2001-2005 (more so 2001-2003), which is just not going to happen. Partly due to the fact that it aint as much as an adventure any more, its not 'new and mysterious', nor do I have a large crew of friends that are in the same boat as me. Nothing beats these experiences when you are with a great bunch of 'up for it' friends.

I would also agree that a party is what you make of it, if you really wanna have a good time you will make sure of it and ignore the things that generally give you sh-ts which is generally a lot more as you get older. As I dont go out much, when I do go out I try and enjoy myself!

Once upon a time I would go out in a heartbeat, didnt care who was playing or where it was. Nowadays I am much more selective. The key criteria beingprobably sounding like a grumpy old man now)
1. DJ's I currently like or would like to see
2. An expected good atmosphere and vibe.
3. Expect room to move on the dance floor and be able to see the DJ.
4. Friendly up for it a crowd. With similar mindset to me. Love chatting to people.
5. No stupid lining up.

Standard stuff really...?

I went to Future hoping it wouldn't be like Summadayze and I could experience something similar to a summadayze of old back at the bowl. Unfortunately I was wrong in most regards. I had an OK'ish time in the end and am glad I went in the scheme of things. But I think that if points 3 and 5 were met I would have had an awesome time as I would have gotten into it SO MUCH more. Even if I didnt really agree with what some of the DJ's playing and where they were playing (like bateman said). I also just refused to line up and get mangled on the dancefloor, despite some of the other annoying things I managed to turn a blind eye to.

The main reason for my not having such a good time is because Future are massively over selling these events now which is beyond ridiculous. Nothing more than greedyness and obsene money making. This is easily summadayze part 2 for the year. Gone are the days where you could easily find a spot on the grass, get a drink, then have a quick wander on the dance floor for a boogey. I remember being on the dancefloor for the full day at summadayze 2001-2002 and never had issues finding friends or square centimetres of space.

I can't see future selling less tickets to these events in future. Because of this it will take a bit to get me back to the Myer Music Bowl. I could easily say right now I wont be going back again...
