Yep, here is another round guys...
Time to let our Australian friend Grym have his laugh... 8)
Why don't I go first...
Thinking of Australia I think of
- Koalas and Kangaroos
- Sydney
- Aboriginals
- Neighbours
- Lleyton Hewitt (formely engaged to Belgian tennispride Kim Clijsters)
- Outback
- Christmas at the beach
And above all : the other side of the world (in comparison to Europe) !!
-
Excellent choice, shadow (trying to keep the topic away from Belgium, are you? ;) )
Australia, let's see...
- Mel Gibson
- Russel Crowe (though he's from New Zealand IIRC)
- Steve Irwin (aka the Crocodile Hunter)
- Crocodile Dundee I & II
- ROSE TATTOO
- heat
- very varied and mostly beautiful scenery
- the Sydney Opera
- "Waltzing Matilda"
- Gallipoli
All spontaneous brainstorming, let's see, if I'll have a few more thoughts...
-
Hahahahaha, I will get MY laugh eventually as well, do not worry...
And spontaneous brainstorming is indeed what this is all about...
That is why I didn't think of Rose Tattoo myself... :roll:
Want to add one more thing though : Australians seem to have the strange habbit of using the word 'mate' four times in every sentence ... :silly:
-
A friend of mine was visiting Austrailia some years ago. And he walks bye a metal music store (Metal Mayhem) a coupple of times, without enter it. But one day he decided to pay it a visit. Can you guess what record they had on the sterio?! Mithotyn's "King of...". Was he surprised or what? :wink: He told the manager of the store that he know one of the guitarists of the band, and I can assure you that they were very good friends after that ;) .
That's the first thing I think of when I hear the name Australia. Strange, ha?! ;)
So her's some other things:
- Fosters (Beer)
- Dangerous animals (Snakes & spiders. Blah!)
- Water
- Big red rock
- Dry
- Big island
- Friendly people ( ;) )

Not strange, Karl. Great :)
That kind of personal stories is what brings some light into a pretty dark and fucked up day... :)

Well Ithink that Rose Tattoo is a band though I fdont know if they are from Australia...
-

OMG, you must be kidding? :D
Together with AC/DC (how could we forget them for so long?) they are the most important hard rock band from Australia, playing dirty rock the MOTÖRHEAD-way for about 25 years if I'm not completely mistaken...
-
No... I've never heard of them untill now... :oops:
-
Hm, no real need to be ashamed of. They were quite inactive for a few years recently and and they definitely don't match everyones likes... Though I heard they're one of the best live bands of all times... great show and great performance.

Yes, they are from Australia. They started back in 1977 or so. They are still around and touring although I think they had disbanded from from mid 80s to late 90s. They are heavily tattooed guys (full sleeves and all) before that was a such a popular thing and they were, are, connected with a tattoo parlor as well.
Can't comment on their performance -- never saw them live. :(
-
Ayers Rock
Desert
Kangaroos
Koalas
Sydney
Outback
snakes
Aboriginies
Mark Webber

Hehehehehe... allow this old warrior to have a say on Rose Tattoo...
These full blooded Australians were an major part of my youth...
Rose Tattoo, with the legendary 'screamer-singer' Angry Anderson were one of the first in musical history to make a succesfull link between punk and heavy metal.
Normally I hate this kind of 'crossover' (as it was called back then) but Rose Tattoo made a brilliant debut album called Rose Tattoo (1978)
Songs as 'Butcher and Fast Eddy', 'Nice boys' and 'Remedy' are classics every metal fan should consider as common knowledge...
They were (as Metal Maiden pointed out) and as the name says it 'fully tatooed'. Just look at the cover on 'Scarred for life'...
If I remember well, the front cover on that album was a black and white picture only with the tattoos in colour. Needless to say this is a 75 % coloured pic... :wink:
The live performances were legendary. Anderson had this strange habbit of banging the mike standard against his head untill the blood pourred out. Let us say a 'grind' attitude 'avant la lettre'... :roll:
Let me conclude by using Anderson favorite quote :
'Bad girls love bad boys but... good girls love 'em too'...
Rose Tattoo deserve a place in metals history !!!
-
Hahaha, Metal Mayhem is my local metal shop! :D
:shock: No shit!!! Cool! :) Small world.
That kind of personal stories is what brings some light into a pretty dark and fucked up day...
Indeed. I had a big smile on my face for several weeks after I heard the story.
-
Australia... Hmmh... What comes to mind:
-Funny accent(s)
-Surfing (white beaches and stuff... Really hope Im talking about the right country here :lol: )
-All the cute animals.. (snakes and lizards included;) )
-This book I read when I was a child...
- It's far far far away from here
-
The title of the first song of your epic album you will write about Australia ??
:laugh:

What's so funny about that? :wink:
EDIT: Fixed quote.
-
Oh nothing really... Forget it !
So, whenever you are ready Grym we wait for you to judge our euh... 'knowledge' about Australia... :roll:
-
Shadow... :lol: When did they release you from the hospital ;)
-
AC/DC of course! Just rocked the shoulders to 'Thunderstruck' last night once again (shoulder track of the Body Pump session in the gym)... THUN-DER!
Rose Tattoo - no need to be ashamed? Well, at least until we don't tell anybody. ;) Seen them live at Wacken Open Air from far away once, late at night, I think. Wasn't in the mood for it...
And I'll add: P. Sherman, 42 Wallabyway, Sydney! (not sure about the spelling of the "...way" at the moment)
Furthermore: Visitors to our friend Barbara. The last one, Matthew, was especially cool. Heavy accent, 'rude' (in a funny way for me) language, we had a lot of fun during his stay here. :)
What I learnt from him: Australia is terribly expensive for al iving. For example he was really taken aback by my car, which I bought used, almost 7 years old, but in Australia, he said, I would have had to pay about 5 or 6 times as much for it as I did here. So he bought some stuff to take home, because it was so much cheaper over here (brakes for his bike for example, cost a fortune for my standards regarding bikes here as well, but would have been three times as much down low...).
Hot 'winter', vast outback and so on, yeah.
-
Shadow... :lol: When did they release you from the hospital ;)
Euh... Did I miss anything here ?
:roll:
-
Australia... everything was already said, methinks. Im confronted with Australia and its funny accent every time I turn on the TV and that Croc Hunter is jumping about in some jungle trying to get his arm bitten off by an alligator or something. And to be honest, I think on one show he will be successful!
@ metalmaiden:
Dangerous thing equalizing NZ and Australia! A friend of mine is a Kiwi and he would have given you the :fuck:
Kiwis speak a very different English - more understandable, that is, and there is some kind of hostility between the countries. Australians like to call the Kiwis sheepfu#&ers and a Kiwi will crack a joke like:
"Why do birds fly over Australia upside down? - Cuz its not worth shitting on!"
So you better make sure you differentiate clearly when dealing with a Kiwi or an Aussie!!
Farewell,
Sir Birdhead

"Why do birds fly over Australia upside down? - Cuz its not worth shitting on!"
:laugh:
Now this is a good one ! And Grym, don't mean anything by this. It can be used on any country on the globe.. :wink:
-
And I'll add: P. Sherman, 42 Wallabyway, Sydney! (not sure about the spelling of the "...way" at the moment)
Hahahaha, my little sister played that movie non stop for a month. :lol:
And that bird joke's fine by me, i heard it first about Turkey :wink:
NZ is full of sheep... There's like 6 sheep to every human or something ridiculous like that... SHEEPSHAGGERS!!!! :P
-
C'mon Grym enlighten us : tell us more about your country...
Are our prejudices more or less correct ??
:roll:
-
I'll just add a couple of quick things that spring to mind immediately when I think of Australia.
Crazy drunken backpackers in youth hostels
Vegemite *gag*
"No more fucking Abba!"

well about that flying thing, the best thing about plains is simply to jump out of them...
8)
I once had to opportunity to take a 'training parachute weekend'.
Jumping out of an aeroplane at a heigth of 1100 metres was one of the most fascinating experiences of my life...
Well, actually... That and buying the best album of all time...
:wink: :wink:
-

-

But give me a break, it is fridaynight and I just had a quiet little drink (well two actually...) with my darling wife....
I'd better not jump out of any more plaNES tonight I think... :P
-
Euh... You notice it all huh Ambassador... :wink:
Actually, the opposite is true - I don't notice anything anymore for quite some time already...
:-/
Anyways, damned true, you shouldn't skydive after drinking alcohol...
And you should also make sure to never skydive naked...

hahaha MOM! ok ok so I am a little scared of a couple of things.. spiders are my worst phobia I think when it comes to the ground.. but flying is something I just dont do very well.. though the last time I flew I was alright and actually was an adrenelin rush.. although it only lasted 25 mintues from air port to air port. had it been longer I oulw have gone nutz........... but yeah the guy who would rip the throat out of a terrorists neck with out hesitation is afraid of something.....

And the circle completes itself, this flying brings us back to ... Australia !
Seems like the preferable way to visit the Aussies right ??
Grym, Australian dude, are you still with us ?
:)
