We were in the main arena all night. You know down the back where they were selling drinks, we were to the left of it. We didn't move from there all night.

He set had an element of hard rock to it. I didnt like it, but like i said, thats only my opinion. I didnt recognise any tracks.

And you would be typing with your nose right now, cause I would have broken both your hands. But let me entertain the thought, what was wrong with the track? (not that you heard it).

it was the very fact that he tried to politise his set...i mean he was trying to push a point etc etc and personally i think that is wrong environment to do it especially considering the large ethnic diversity at the event....that is what made it bad...
but yeah i didn't see any of the violence so yeah cant comment, what i did see were some awsorme sets by scott brown (goes down as one of best ever) and breeze and styles
any way weekend ROCKED! back into hardcore uni again now :(
I SUCK AGAIN!!!!!

Well, I’m not going to say you’re wrong with the way you’re looking at it, but I believe you may have misinterpreted the point, if any, he was trying to make (and I absolutely agree with the way you present your opinion).
I'm from the New York area, just as Rob, where the twin towers could have been seen from both our homes. The first time he changed the lyrics to the song (the original song says “na na” repeatedly) was in this area, and you can’t imagine the response we got over here when we did it live. Everybody loved it to the point where he released the new version on vinyl (when changed it, he had no plans on that, we just rocked it live for the people around NY). The live version of the track got on the internet and he got responses and emails from around globe about the track and how people liked it. Rob definitely got some good feedback about the track from people from Australia before Godspeed and he played it. I really don’t think it’s that big of a deal. All though it is somewhat in the direction of “political”, I don’t feel saying “**** terrorism, **** Osoma Bin Laden” is exactly a political statement. It’s just a hardcore way of letting some of the aggression out. And understand, when those towers fell, there were a lot more people then American’s that died. You can’t walk down the street in New York and not see people from other nations appreciating the city and the diversity we have. Personally, all though I would like to say I love America and all that shit, I consider myself a human, and stating I’m from this place and love it only puts a degree of separation between myself and all other ethnic backgrounds when I know we are one. But speaking of diversity, being American for the very, very high majority, means that your ethnic background is from somewhere else. I’m Italian, German, Hungarian, and Polish…….but I’m American. Just about every American is like I am. It doesn’t matter where you are from here; Switzerland, Africa, Brazil, Antarctic and yes, Australia. If you’re here, you’re here. That’s one thing I like about this country, and trust me, there are a lot of things I don’t like about it (like our government).
Overall, I assure you, I have no problem with people’s opinions about his music or his playing or attitude or anything like that. If you think he sucks, you hate his music or what he plays, fine; I would never try to sway someone’s opinion like that. But saying you would throw a water bottle at one my best friends, and I’m going to do like anyone would, I’m going to back up my friend and speak up. Saying you would throw a water bottle at one my best friends for playing a track that represents disagreement with terrorism and catastrophe that happened here, and I will speak up loudly. I was in the crowd when he played the track, and I saw people getting down and enjoying themselves. I really don’t think saying you would throw something at him cause you don’t like the track is justified. Actually doing it, forget me having a problem with the justification, I would just start fighting whether I’d get my ass kicked or not.
BUT ANYWAY, I apologize for jumping in here with negativity. You guys are f-ing great over there. Your scene is awesome (and I don’t just mean Godspeed, I caught a few other events in Aust.) People were friendly as hell, and the vibes I got from the different parties I attended were fantastic. You don’t know how lucky you are. Keep it real.

the problem is that saying "**** osama bin laden", "**** terrorism" is not a good answer to anything. neither was the bombing of the world trade centre. i'm not taking that stance.
what i'm saying is that terrorism is rarely an act of random madness. it has a message. i believe the american government has committed many acts of terrorism in it's recent history. when i go to raves, i don't want to be troubled with the same narrow-minded ******** i'm bombarded with in the media.
