Third day

Honestly, i do not really listen to Third day, but since they are here might as well go and watch and see what so good about this Grammy award winning christian rock band. There were 2 other bands playing besides Third day, which was Days of fire from the US and Rookie from Queesland.

Days of Fire:
This band was good. Heavy stuff...very Alter BRidge, but without Mark Tremonti's guitar playing. The guitarist changes his guitar from a Gibson Les Paul to a Ibanez Rg... Cool stuff. Didnt have any guitar solos/shreds. One bad thing about this band is the bass player. He is such a poser. His playing is very simple. I really hate it when he does those Rock poses like....lifting his bass, and worst, at the end of the show he grinded his bass on stage and purposely droped his bass on the floor...DONT WANT,GIVE ME LAR!!!!! The singer was good...sings like Scott Stapp of Creed but deeper and rougher...Overall they were good..

Rookie:
This band from Queesland . Didnt really like them. They were more punk rock...like Blink 182. The guitarist was using a MusicMan guitar....dont know what series but i recognise the head. The bassist using MusicMan Stingray4. The vocalist voice....didnt really like it...too treblely....too punk....they sound like those bands who plays in teen flicks ...

Third Day:
The best band among the three that played. I didnt really recognise most of thier songs, but they were good in terms of musicianship. They had two guitarists and they were good. They did a few poses but they had skill so it was alright to pose. The guitarist changed guitars many many times. NEarly every song they had to change guitar. The lead guitarist uses 2 guitars. Both of them are Gibson Les Pauls just different colors. Pure white and Honey burst. The other guitarist uses 2 PRS....one is a custom 24, the other dont really know(but definitely a PRS...from the head)...this is very sad....HE plugs the PRS to a acoustic emulater to get the acoustic guitar sound...How sad can that be....using a 5000AUD electric guitar to get an acoustic sound...u have so much money to buy 2 PRS....y not go and buy a Taylor or a Martin acoustic guitar....cei(after searching the PRS website...i discovered that he actually endorses PRS). They did a number of shreds.....cool stuff. The bassist wasnt outstanding...very simple bass lines. He was using a Stingray 4 too..

All of them were using Marshall stacks....powerful stuff. And they used alot of smoke machines....at the end the whole auditorium was full of smoke.

Hills area is a very nice area to live in ...sort of reminds me of canberra. BUt damn Expensive. Anyway...got home around 1 am...yeah.....
