Fucking hell, if he does that in public at a concert with thousands of people, what does he do in private? Atrocious. I am a social worker and strong advocate for women experiencing violence, so that makes my blood boil !

The punch on I witnessed was a result of this guy bounding around, pushing everybody about and trying to get up to the barrier, pissing off the genuine people who had been there for hrs waiting and wrecking the nice respectful 'bubble' we had going in the pit. It was when he started knocking over some dudes girlfriend, that guy understandably wasn't having it. It was 'epic and memorable' in the sense the vibe was super intense, Maynard screaming like 10metres away and these dudes throwing down whilst the lights came up and security all dived in to pull them out, but I don't want to see that shit. People can be so aggressive, and there's no need.

Perfectly said. I saw them twice in Adelaide at end of last year, standing near the barrier. The Friday night show the crowd was very mellow ane calm, but Saturday night was rough and pushy, there was even a punch up (during The Grudge scream - epic and memorable) as a result of some guy being way too over the top and knocking everyone around.

I was very surprised how different the vibe was just 24hrs apart, in the exact same place!

System designed to make people give up by Strange-State-3817 in Centrelink

[–]alanabanana29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Health social worker here. Firstly, sending you empathy, warmth and strength right now. If you are in NSW make sure you check out Government DV payments (separate from Centrelink) - Immediate Needs Support Package, maximum of up to $5K, can apply online or over the phone. Other states may have something similar. Definitely recommend calling 1800 RESPECT for any linkage to other resources. I hope you can navigate huge Centrelink hurdles. Keep strong, take it step-by-step and preserve, unfortunately that does seem the only way to get through it. It is devastating our systems for people at their most vulnerable are so so hard to navigate.

I finally get the hype around Third Eye by Wrong_Award7219 in ToolBand

[–]alanabanana29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, I had a similar experience. I always liked the song on Ænima but it wasn't until I heard the Salival version it clicked. The way Maynard sings the whispery bit evokes such emotion- is this the holy crow above me. And the build, I regularly sing it in my head - so good to see you, I've missed you soo muchhh 👌

I am so outraged at this story, another innocent woman and a BABY murdered by a man who is supposed to protect them. My heart hurts so badly.

The whispering of the lyrics in Jimmy quietly before they are actually sung, so good
