    They played 3 shows at the Palace so it makes sense why he was hanging around in St Kilda.

      A Cosmic Psychos soundcheck at the Prince would have been an easy place to hide out.

        So angry I missed that tour. Kills me!

        I got to see Soundgarden at Festering Hall which kind of made up for it but man if I had my time again.

          It was really Kenny G you saw, wasn't it?

              I would have said Savage Garden rather than Soundgarden but the timelines don't quite work.

                That's crossing a line



                Such a waste.

                Very lucky to have heard that magnificent human live.

                If I was a tatts guy, probably be Cornell on one arm, Cobain on the other. Biggest influences.

                Maybe Chris Cheney - Living End are the best and from Wheelers Hill

                  I have a Black Flag tattoo and a Footscray (from back when we were still Footscray) tattoo. They probably say more about me than anything.
                  They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    I know the shows they recorded for Slave to the Crave were at the Palace. I don't know if they were over 3 nights, might have been 2. They were the last shows that Dirty (give us some wah-wah) ever played with them. They were in 1990 though.

                      Holey shitballs I watched the most harrowing and unflinchingly heartbreaking doco on Foxtel last night. Its called Life of Crime 1984-2020. It's a very bleak version of the famous English doc 7 and up....
                      It follows three people from Newark New Jersey from early adulthood up at regular intervals as they descend from petty crime into full blown heroin addiction and hard crime...
                      I woke up at 2:30am this morning and was unable to get back to sleep as I just kept thinking about it... I warn you though it's confronting and dark.
                      I'd show this to any kid who looked like venturing down that path...

                          Fortunately I was able to see Soundgarden at Soundwave a few years back, I think it might have been the last time they toured Australia.

                          I vaguely know the original Living End drummer Trav Demsey as he's from my home town.

                            Thanks for the recommendation sounds good.

                            There's some good true crime stuff on Netflix. I just watched the most unbelievable Spanish one re three girls who disappeared in the early 90s.
                            It was hard work but I couldn't stop. Called The Alcasser Murders.
                            Its really about one father's campaign to uncover his truth but shows the crazy Spanish media coverage, you won't believe it.

                              Watched Des, on Stan, about the serial killer Dennis Nilsen. Great, if fairly grim watch with an outstanding performance from David Tennant

                                Very good.

                                There's the Nielsen tapes I think on Netflix too which is worth a watch.
