I was there.
It was real good.
Kindof had a bit of a sour ending though because of some people in the audience acting like dicks. Basically people kept yelling stuff at Billy and he eventually just got frustrated with it and walked off stage which seemed sad to me.

Well... I don't know what to say really... it was good.
I don't feel like I'm a good... reviewer.
It seemed like the audience was kindof a mix of people who are fans and people who just wanted to hear like... Zero or BWBW and had nothing better to do then sit there and scream that.... and so the way the show unfolded (when Billy was talking) was that it seems like he's a combination of thankfullness for the fans and disappointment at the small element of the crowd who just yell shit at him all the time.
It wasn't how I wanted the show to end. It didn't really affect how they played obviously so it's not that important but it does feel indicative of the ambience of the show as a whole.
Billy made a couple of jokes about people seeming to not be into it very much and it was hard to tell how serious he was about that... again a combination of thankfullness and disappointment.
On the whole it was a good show, just wish it could've ended on a more positive note rather then on him basically deciding it wasn't worth trying to speak to us just coz a couple of people ruin it.

Yep. I'm sure it'll be good. I wish I was going... but unfortunately I have no money and have to go to work which at this point I don't feel is a good excuse at all. Especially with the acoustic show.

Hey guys, I was at the melb show last night.
Some idiots were yelling out while Billy was trying to speak, so 500 of us wanted to hear what he had to say and 5 didnt, so that 5 ruined it for all of us.
When he was in the middle of his storys this girl yelled out something about the pumpkins and billy was like "ehh" throws down his mike and walks off. I really hope the bitch who yelled out feels guilty for ruining it for all of us and even after the show at the meet and greet he had a different attitude thanks to her. In years to come when hes thinking about doing another show in Melbourne he will think of the night he walked off the stage thanks to some bitch from melbourne
I was going to get some pumpkins stuff signed but then i changed my mind
WARNING: to all those out there, DONT MENTION THE PUMPKINS
Other than that, great show and I love the lights. Billy came out with this big Heavy Metal kinda guitar for the encore, that was awesome.

The Show was wicked. Apparently him storming off the stage in melbourne was a load of shit and never happened.
