I was at the Arena last night and must say I was very, very disappointed. The sound was absolute crap. Rock and metal music is about guitars and all you could hear was the bass drum and bass. I just couldn't believe it. I tried so hard to get into it but it's hard to when the killer guitar solos are drowned out. I'm sure Sebastian was trying to get the message to his sound guy but it wasn't fixed. I moved all around the venue trying to find a place where the sound was half decent, but it just wasn't.
The Arena does have crap sound anyway, but Helloween were able to still sound brilliant.
I love Sebastian (one of my sons is named after him) but I feel let down by last night's show. What was with only playing for 1hr 15mins? (10:40pm - 11:55pm).
Perhaps try the Tivoli next time your in Brisbane Sebastian. It's a much better venue.
I'll be interested to read other people's thoughts.
Helloween rule!

I actually thought it was Sebastian and the band but after listening to some clips fans took on YouTube, I now think it must have been the venue too.  Oh and welcome to the Board.  |

Yeh i dont know if you recall seeing me i was the younger fella wearing a black motorhead shirt and slightly gelled hair. I cant recall where abouts you were in mosh. Thanks for pointing out the support act for me. Yeh they were very good i thought sebastain and the boys sounded awesome i could hear the guitar solos seb's singing the lot the best place to be was front and centre in the mosh, well done sebastain good performance

The Brisbane Show kicked ass. Sebastain and the boys were on song. I was front and centre in the Mosh at the Brisbane show and it sounded awesome. He hasnt lost it at all. I was very impressed with the opening act Hell City Glamours i thought they did an outstanding job. But when sebastain came on the crowd went nuts. There was some girls roughly five who wanted to get their tits out at the same time thinking that the crowd would act the same as when the Hell City Glamours came out. However when sebastain came out the crowd was moshing so insainly i think their plan went to shit but i did see throughout the night that Sebastain got them to get the tits out which was icing on the cake for me as far as the show went lol. Actually it was the girl in the red top and her mate next to her lol. All in all id give the show 10/10. Well done sebastain and the boys i loved it and next time you come ill definatly go again.

That was me and aussiecozzie. All up there were about eight to ten of us, most of us girls in the front row. Plan was to get our tits out during "Big Guns", and although it was a bit hard while moshing, I think most of us did it at the exact same time, which was awsome!! Great job girls!! I'm sure Baz would have loved it!! Thanks for all the posts so far, AussieGirl and aussiecozzie, you girls are legends!!! Just got home so I will update you all later. Had the best time ever, and met a few of the coolest girls in Oz!!! ;D

Well I am back online semi alive so thought I would attempt my review....
Wow what a weekend I am still on cloud nine....
Ok so Brisbane show was fantastic.. Thanks to Maz arriving nice and early to venue, we managed to be some of the first in the Door... I arrived at about 6.30... could not get over how nice the early crowd was... we where minding each others spots... Chatting about show it was a great atmosphere outside the venue and everyone was pumped... But once the doors opened all manners where lost... well I did start of up front went to bar... and well lost my spot but luckily most people let you back in.... they where really nice like I said looking after each other... but once Sebastian started all manners went out the window... My poor friend that was with me had this huge guy that kept deliberately elbowing her in the side of the head and pushing up against me...the stage area sort of had a step up to it so a few of us could stand on step I felt sorry for this tiny lady behind me so I had let her up on the step with me and when Sebastian started she just pushed me out of the way... So I learnt I am too nice for mosh pit and next time I am only looking after myself ;D.... Ok so I lasted like maybe 3 songs in the mosh pit and thought I am gonna die in here thanks to the Jerk behind me... so I grabbed my friend and we got out of there  ... I did tell security what a Jerk he was being cause honestly he was horrible and eventually they managed to grab him and get him out of there... So I left Maz and Aussiecozzie to it... they where much better at taking care of themselves than I was ;D...
Anyway so I spent rest of the show on the balcony and actually had a really great view... the sound was fantastic and the whole room was pumped... Not sure how many people knew the new songs but they sounded fantastic live.... But of course they did go off to the old songs.... I loved hearing the songs of Angel Down live.... I cannot remember exact set list... but Maz has a copy of it she can post it.... but the boys where on fire... when the show ended I was like wow what a weekend.... this could not have gotten any better and I could have went home a very happy woman... .
BUT... I had previously met up with the official photographer for the show and she had a back stage pass for me... YAY I cannot thank her enough... going back stage is so surreal and a dream come true... everyone with out passes had to leave the venue... so you sort of wait around for a bit while the crew pack up equipment and then eventually Rob came out and got us all he was so sweet offering us drinks and so friendly... it is strange cause you know the guys have just finished work so to speak so you do not want to harass them.... so you kinda just hang.... I spoke a little bit to Rob De Luca and Johnny honestly two of the nicest guys I have ever met... and I have to say again they look so different in real life.... Johnny spun me out his skin was so nice he is so good looking... I actually told him his photo's do not do him justice and what a handsome fellow he is cannot believe I said fellow, far out that is something my Grandmother would have said ... but I am telling you around those guys you loose all brain cells  ... But Rob and Johnny I cannot find words to describe them they are just really cool talented guys... Love Them..... anyway so in this Room and Sebastian is in there and you can see he is just chilling out so really try not to annoy him... I was not game to ask for a photo.. cause well he has to get sick of it... and like I said he had just finished work I just wanted to leave him alone.... But He did look up at me smile and go Aussiegirl... now have to say the way he says it with his American Accent, made me want to change my legal name to Aussiegirl ;D.... so I did chat to him for a little bit he signed my back stage passes... and dufus her forgot to get anyone else to sign them... only because you just do not want to annoy them... but was lucky enough to get a photo with Rob and Johnny....you kinda just play it all by ear... but managed to get a hug or two from Sebastian so I was happy... I was so happy... Also got to say I love Dave I am not sure what his official title is but he does heaps for the guys... he is a real friendly guy and so nice to chat to Maz and I spoke to him alot... I just cannot get over how friendly they all are... Best night ever and I am so glad I got to share it with Maz and Michelle... would have loved to have Aussiecozzie and ssnow back there with me too... cause really meeting up with all the Bach freaks was amazing and I so hope we all get to do it again....
Ok now for some photo's I have more coming that a friend took but Michelle was kind enough to forward these on to me....
Ok so love this Photo... this is Rob and I... I am gonna treasure this one ... put it in a frame cause he is such a sweetie love him to death....
Ok now this one is a little blurry but still I like it... another one I will tressure with the handsome fellow Johnny ;D ;D ;D
Now here is Michelle with Sebastian and Michelle with Rob and Johnny

You got some great shots backstage Aussiegirl.......so lucky! Your poor friend.......it was pretty crazy at the front at Seagulls so it must of been so much worse in Brisbane. The crowd was bigger in Brisbane.....as I didn't see any promotion for the show it was great to see so many fans there. Quite a few faces i recognised from both shows. It really was one fantastic weekend.....can't wait to do it all over again next time Baz is back down under!

Aussiegirl - you are sooooo lucky - I am soooooooo jealous. I can only imagine what it would be like to meet Baz. Wow, I think I would probably burst into tears because he has made such an impact on my life (his music has gotten me through some really hard times).
;D
I hope there is somehow the fans can meet Baz at Newcastle tomorrow.
