ARIA Awards 2006 - 7.30pm, Sun 29 Oct: Ch 10

[Kristen]

Just a reminder that the ARIA Awards will be on Channel 10 on Sunday (29/10) starting at 7.30pm.

The ads for it having been promoting TLE but I can't see them listed as a performers on the ARIA Awards website (http://www.ariaawards.com.au/home.php). So I guess that means they'll just be there as presenters or guests... hopefully accepting the award for Best Rock Album and Best Group.

Good luck boys!

[RollOn]

Thanks for the reminder Kristen!
Here's hoping the boys get the goods!

[Thommo]

what a shame the arias are rigged.

[Evil Chris]

I have a feeling that best rock album will go to *shudders* eskimo joe, I hate the barstards. I wouldn't mind if Wolfmother won it but I would love it if The Living Legends (A.K.A The Living End) win it.

[Erin]

but I would love it if The Living Legends (A.K.A The Living End) win it.

failing that, augie march should win. Even though they've been snubbed.

[State_Of_Emergency]

but I would love it if The Living Legends (A.K.A The Living End) win it.

Well, as i say, the "L" in TLE stands for two words only, Living Legends, which is EXACTLY what they are :D

(i hope they win it)

hey erin, u on :)

[Liz]

I have a feeling that best rock album will go to *shudders* eskimo joe, I hate the barstards. I wouldn't mind if Wolfmother won it but I would love it if The Living Legends (A.K.A The Living End) win it.

Okay, I don't mean to be mean to TLE, but I KNOW Wolfmother will win it.
I certainly wouldn't mind if they do either, but TLE won't win it. *cries* :(

[Erin]

just so long as i see tle on the carpet or anywhere on tv, i'm content.
wolfmother will win, but won't it be AWESOME if TLE (or Augie March) won.

[jodiexxllewellyn]

I reckon Wolfmother will win. They've done really well this year.

But all the best to the boys! I'd be happy with just a glimsp of them on the red carpet :)

Is anyone gonna tape and upload?

[Julian]

Why have Augie March been snubbed? They are very good chance for single of the year and have an outside chance at album of the year. To even be nominated for album of the year is an achievment.

[Erin]

Why have Augie March been snubbed?

they had this "special" on about who will win each aria....they concidered augie march's album to be 'not rock' and just breezed past them through the entire show

*grumbles*fuckin pricks..

[Julian]

Well the odds on them went down for album of the year as soon as they were nominated. They'll win something which is more than it looks like for tle :(

[Erin]

yeah, pity. :(
i so want to be proven wrong though

[cammo]

Augie March wont win Single (that will no doubt go to Forever young by Youth Group) or Album, cant pick a winner on that though. (Dont get me wrong I LOVE Augie March but I cant see them winning in either category)

Im backing what Richard Kingsmill said on Triple J this morning in saying there will be 3 words mentioned all night at the Arias. Bernard, Fanning, Wolfmother.

[Erin]

yup, i agree with that.

maybe throw in eskimo joe too for good measure.

[Julian]

I still think Augie March will win something.

[MissyA]

I will be there. No idea where but i won myself some tix.

[Habibster]

I really would love to see the living end win something but it will be wolfmothers and bernard fannings night i reckon

[Rhiannon]

I really don't get the hype surrounding Wolfmother. They do nothing for me.

[Julian]

Maybe other people like them

[jodiexxllewellyn]

I like em. I think their album is awesome.

[Jessii]

I really dislike the singer of Wolfmothers voice.

[Habibster]

I absolutely agree with rhiannon...(i'm kinda contradicting myself there)For some reason I dislike most rock bands other than The Living End....Bodyjar and grinspoon are pretty good though, but i really dislike wolfmother.

[The Dying Start]

They're not bad. "Better than the rest of the shit"

[Julian]

TLE need to start playing some 80's revival music or something to get regognised or something. Or get some really bad haircuts.

[The Dying Start]

I'd settle for 50's revival! :p

[maddie]

I reckon Wolfmother will win. They've done really well this year.

But all the best to the boys! I'd be happy with just a glimsp of them on the red carpet :)

Is anyone gonna tape and upload?

I can if it's wanted :) I dunno how much they'll show of them though... are they definately gonna be there?

[Amur]

I can if it's wanted :) I dunno how much they'll show of them though... are they definately gonna be there?
anyway,be ready for record even 0.5 second shot of Scott's fading away back ;)

[maddie]

Ok, if you say so Amur!!!

:p

[Amur]

Ok, if you say so Amur!!!

:p
hahaha.
of course it doesn't mean I REALLy want to see vids kinda that I mentioned there...but...
uh,you know more clearly what needs to be recorded!:D

[The Dying Start]

They'll be there. Just record it and see what ya get!

[_jimmy_]

what are TLE nominated for this year? i just remember best group and best cover.

[Kristen]

As listed in the very first post in this thread - Best Rock Album and Best Group.

:p

[Billyasd]

Is that best cover as in rendition of a song or front cover of CD?

Caus if it's for the cover of SOE I hope they lose. Hardly original.

[luke_the edge_dragons]

its the best cover art...not song cover. and...

I hope they lose
<Rant begins>
WTF?!!!!:mad: whilst i would have to say the cover art for SOE is not the most interesting piece of work ive ever seen...i would never say that i hope they lose!!! :mad: TLE deserve everything they get. its the music that counts anyway...not the cd covers or video clips!!! :mad:
<Rant Ends>

[Evil Chris]

I was watching this top 10 Aussie Rock Artist thing last night on Channel [V]. Counting down the top 10 Aussie Rock artist of the year or something like that. I managed to get the top 5. I didnt know this was on. Well the top 5:

5. The Living End :D The Long Live The Weekend Video Was Played
4. Rogue Traders <-- We're Coming Home
3. Eskimo Joe <_< <-- Sarah?, I'd Hit That.
2. The Veronicas <--Revolution
1. Wolfmother <--Joker And The Theif

Now I sought of know wolfmother will win at least one aria.

And to those who say wolfmother sux. Eff U. They are one of the few bands that released decent music today.

[State_Of_Emergency]

5. The Living End :D The Long Live The Weekend Video Was Played

2. The Veronicas <--Revolution



VERONICAS bet The Living End... OMG OMG that's not good

I don't like the Veronicas... they aren't what i'd call.. great music

(I wish Living End bet them :(... :))

[State_Of_Emergency]

Is that best cover as in rendition of a song or front cover of CD?

Caus if it's for the cover of SOE I hope they lose. Hardly original.


LOSE? did you say loooose... No, i think that they should win. Yeah, it wasn't the greatest idea, but i thought it was ok :)

I hope The Living End takes home what they came for :D

[Evil Chris]

I Don't Like Veronicas Either, But The Living End Arent everyones taste in music. They're My favourite band however. I was just flicking through channels and I saw The Living end. I was like. I am so watching this.

[Erin]

yeah, can't blame people for NOT liking them.

tle were nominated for cover art, video (wake up), producer... and a lot more

but lost them all.

[State_Of_Emergency]

I Don't Like Veronicas Either, But The Living End Arent everyones taste in music. They're My favourite band however.

exactly..

it's their choice if they like them or not.. if everyone liked the same people, then that wouldn't be right.. :)

[Evil Chris]

boy that sux dude.

[Erin]

ok, i've looked on the website
tle were nominated for

best cover art, winner was Bernard Fanning
best video(wake up), winner was Bernard Fanning
Engineer of the year (nick launay), winner was Matt Lovel (eskimo joe)
Producer of the year (nick launay), winner was Eskimo Joe

how would you feel... :(

[State_Of_Emergency]

very very sad maybe? tle did good to get nominated.. they must've been good :)

[Evil Chris]

yeah thats true but you know how hard it is to get awards in the Music Industry. It took Grinspoon 10 years to get an Aria. Does anyone know if The Living End Will Be Performing In This Years Arias? They normally do.

[Erin]

It took Grinspoon 10 years to get an Aria.
:D
i remember on the red carpet, the night they did win the aria, phil said 'we thank jet, powderfinger and silverchair for not releasing any albums this year'

[Evil Chris]

Grinspoon is as Sweet As Sugar lol bad pun.

[State_Of_Emergency]

lol.. not really :D (so, will we see TLE on the carpet tonight? i wonder.. and i sure hope so)

also, is Chris on RocKwiz tonight? or next week?? cause im at a party tonight, and i can't tape RocKwiz AND the ARIA's on ONE tv...

[Evil Chris]

Shit, I just reallised that its on tomorrow. I will be watching.

[State_Of_Emergency]

Shit, I just reallised that its on tomorrow. I will be watching.

that's right.. ARIA's on TOMORROW *slaps head* god, im so stuuuuupid!

[Julian]

LOSE? did you say loooose... No, i think that they should win. Yeah, it wasn't the greatest idea, but i thought it was ok :)

I hope The Living End takes home what they came for :D

Free beer ahoy!

[State_Of_Emergency]

Free beer ahoy!

:D... hahaha

[Billyasd]

I like them for their music aswell. That's why I think if they won the best cover they would be winning it on account of the music they make, which really has nothing to do with the cover.

I'm saying The Living End have got a good chance of winning it because of their popularity, which isn't fair to other artists who might have a good, creative front cover, as apposed to the band members standing there with their instruments, not doing anything creative or pictured in a creative way.

[State_Of_Emergency]

yeah, thats true

all their other CD covers have been good tho. i think they may win b/c of the popularity, but i "think" erin said they didn't win em..

[Erin]

yeah bernard won, his was creative

but just because tle's cover was basic, doesn't mean it isn't creative

[State_Of_Emergency]

ok, i've looked on the website
tle were nominated for

best cover art, winner was Bernard Fanning
best video(wake up), winner was Bernard Fanning
Engineer of the year (nick launay), winner was Matt Lovel (eskimo joe)
Producer of the year (nick launay), winner was Eskimo Joe

how would you feel... :(

yes, theres the quote.... i thought she said that

[State_Of_Emergency]

yeah bernard won, his was creative

but just because tle's cover was basic, doesn't mean it isn't creative

EXACTLY :D (somethimes the more basic it is, the more catchy it is :))

[Julian]

Exactly. The best cover award should go to the best cover. It should be nothing to do with the music. Bernards cover was good as was The Grates. Tle's was just a simple, no bullshit aproach. I doubt they thought they would win any awards for it.

[State_Of_Emergency]

Best Cover is for best cover not best music so if it goes to a good cover and not to tle, then that is correct

[Erin]

i watched a program talking about the nominees and the likelyhood of them winning, they said that the living end were one of those bands that would win because of their past work, not because their album deserves to win

[Julian]

Who was the last band/artist to win a big award on their 4th album? It doesn't work that way

[Erin]

took green day 6 albums to get to oh my god its GREEN DAY!!! stage

and again with the gd-tle comparison....

[State_Of_Emergency]

i watched a program talking about the nominees and the likelyhood of them winning, they said that the living end were one of those bands that would win because of their past work, not because their album deserves to win

past work... and like Julian said, its only their 4th album anyways.. Chris said in an interview they still got a lot more to do :D

[Julian]

It did????

[State_Of_Emergency]

took green day 6 albums to get to oh my god its GREEN DAY!!! stage

well, there you go.. two more albums and TLE will be like that (unless they already are... which they are a bit like that)

[Erin]

It did????
american idiot- number 6 album

you could count dookie as the record to make them big, but that was earlier, i'm trying to make a point :p

[Evil Chris]

Who was the last band/artist to win a big award on their 4th album? It doesn't work that way


green day did it on their 7th album (American Idiot)

[Erin]

its 7th now??

god i can't count....:p

[State_Of_Emergency]

american idiot- number 6 album

green day did it on their 7th album (American Idiot)

humm.. 6th or 7th??

(wikipedia says 7th)

[Erin]

humm.. 6th or 7th??

the point is, its not their 4th

[Evil Chris]

1. 39/Smooth
2. Kerplunk
3. Dookie
4. Insomniac
5. Nimrod
6. Warning
7. American Idiot

[State_Of_Emergency]

ok..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Day_discography

that says its their 9th... weird

(yeah, it isn't their 4th.. it'd be great if tle won an ARIA for cover stuff, BEFORE their 7th or whatever album)

[Julian]

The point is the last few artists that got a bunch of Arias were Delta, Missy, Jet and Kasey Chambers(I think). Most were on their first album.

[Evil Chris]

ok..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Day_discography

that says its their 9th... weird

(yeah, it isn't their 4th.. it'd be great if tle won an ARIA for cover stuff, BEFORE their 7th or whatever album)

I think their counting International Superhits and Shennanigans as albums. They're just compilations.

The Living End Were massive back in the day so their first album really is the hit.

[State_Of_Emergency]

I think their counting International Superhits and Shennanigans as albums. They're just compilations.

The Living End Were massive back in the day so their first album really is the hit.

yeah, they did

[The Dying Start]

Nice one Erin, way to bring up Green Day again!

[Erin]

...sorry :(
:D
who else was catapolted to stardom after their 4th album (thats comes to mind)

[State_Of_Emergency]

whats wrong with Greenday?

(im lost, they ok band... i think)

[Erin]

its nothing to do with how good they are, its the fact that TLE get compared constantly to them.

[State_Of_Emergency]

its nothing to do with how good they are, its the fact that TLE get compared constantly to them.

oh... kay

they dont sound like Greenday... Greenday sounds like Greenday, TLE sounds like TLE... even Chris says so (Tle have their own sound :D... and i like it!)


read my sig... it say something bout how they can try make it sound un-like them, but they can't

[Julian]

This Is Not A Green Day Thread

[Erin]

hooray!!! :D

maddie, do you have foxtel? 'cause channel v are having a red carpet special, with backstage and going to the hotel where stars are staying and shit. they *might* be on.

[Billyasd]

yeah bernard won, his was creative

but just because tle's cover was basic, doesn't mean it isn't creative

Turns out it wasn't creative, though.

[Loo C]

TLE are a shoo-in for both awards. I'm confident!


And excited.

How excited?

Real excited!!!



And if they don't win, well, I'll feel silly and you can all call me names. :)

[maddie]

hooray!!! :D

maddie, do you have foxtel? 'cause channel v are having a red carpet special, with backstage and going to the hotel where stars are staying and shit. they *might* be on.

Yeah, I do. I saw ads for that ages ago, just didn't get around to mentioning it... I can record it, see what they show, but it's hard 'cos I can't sit and watch it as I have to study for my exams. Plus there's not a lot of space left on the DVD harddrive.

But I'll try it! Maybe I'll force my little sister to sit and watch it. :p

Does it start at about 3 or 4?

[tina]

3:30 I should think

[kempos2112]

im gonna be out 2morw night, the one sundya i decide 2 go out. although i know its rigged, if any one wants 2 post the results for foke like me 2 chek out Monday morn, then knock yourselvs out.

[The Dying Start]

That was a strain!

I'm sure details will be posted.

[State_Of_Emergency]

One of my friends recorded it i think

:D

[_jimmy_]

anyone know when the redcarpet specials are on?
about that greenday stuff, greenday have that simple kind of punk rock sound while TLE have that complicated sound and alot of augemented diminshed minor chords.

[Erin]

the red carpets on around 3:30 on [V] they'll be repeats i'm sure but i'm just not sure when.

[maddie]

Hmmm. They've got some sort of Red Carpet special on now, and I'm recording it, but I only saw a tiny bit of it and it looks like absolute crappy bullshit. I think I'll just fast forward through it and then delete it if I don't see anything interesting. :p

Erin will you be watching the Red Carpet thingy on V? If you are, it would be great if when (or if) they show TLE, you check the time or something and tell me so I don't have to watch however many hours it goes for, and just zoom to the point they show TLE. If not, I can probably force my sister to watch it for me :p

[_jimmy_]

redcarpet on channel 10?

[maddie]

Nah they're showing some other Red Carpet thingy on Channel V at 3 this afternoon. The Arias on Channel 10 starts at 7:30, so I guess there'll be some little red carpet segment at the beginning of that too.

[State_Of_Emergency]

They had a thingy on Channel [V] yesterday.

Do they have something on there now? Ok, i'll watch out for anything more :D

[Erin]

its the 2005 aria red carpet on NOW (well was on) the REAL one is at 3:30

i'll see what i can do, cause my brother wants the computer...dammit :(

[State_Of_Emergency]

its the 2005 aria red carpet on NOW (well was on) the REAL one is at 3:30

i'll see what i can do, cause my brother wants the computer...dammit :(

Oh-k.. The 2006 Aria red carpet thingy on 3:30pm.. Oh-k, hopefully tle's on :p

[Erin]

they better be on *shakes fist*

[-George-]

Dammit.
CURSE MY PARENTS LACK OF CHANNEL 10!!!

[Jodez]

i just happened to listen to nova and the dude on there interviewed the guys. It was an unusual convo and at one point it went quiet and andy said something wierd and then he goes sorry im just checking out all the girls. ..thats all i can remember hah

[The Dying Start]

How do you not have Channel 10. It's free to air!

[Erin]

can't believe how crap that was, after an hour, nothing (except the back of chris' head during eskimo joes interview) then 10 minutes overtime and then FINALY the living end were on for 30 seconds

worth it???
course. :D

[Kacky]

Even if TLE was on for 10 seconds it'd still be worth it. :D

[Erin]

yeah! loved scotts hat :p

and the bands response to 'are you the hardest working band in australia?'

'do you see any other hard working bands here? pfff, i can't see any'

[Kacky]

Too bad I can't watch it.

I'm all the way in a place called Canada.

[Colezy]

I can't watch it either unless they're on it at all tonight, cause I don't have pay TV.

[Erin]

maddie would have taped it...right? :D

[Colezy]

Probably. She's good like that! :p

[Erin]

channel [V] supplied punch
the living end brought beer :D

[Kacky]

You can always count on the guys to supply the beer. :p :D

[Erin]

well, chris had a beer. andy had some punch :D

probably hid the rest of the beer somewhere, scott's hat maybe :p

[Kacky]

What kind of hat is Scott wearing, and how many beers could he possibly fit under there? :p :rolleyes:

[mel_bound]

oh man I want to see this damnit :p

[Kacky]

So do I, argh. :p

[Neo]

This* was in the tv week magazine. I got excited
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/9305/tletvweekyh2.jpg

*note this is not an actual scan, I just did it up in msPaint exactly as it was in the mag. same pic too! :p

[Kacky]

Of course TLE will take out the prize. :D

[Erin]

What kind of hat is Scott wearing, and how many beers could he possibly fit under there? :p :rolleyes:

nah, small hat.

but it might be a bottomless hat :p

[Kacky]

They have those? If so, I want one. :p :p

[Erin]

for the people who didn't see it.

wolfmother won oz artist of the year

[Kacky]

Damn...I was hoping someone else would win that category.

Wolfmother isn't my fave.

[Erin]

yup thats what i thought.

just another one to add to the pile tonight.

[maddie]

Okie dokey. So I recorded this afternoon's thingy on Channel V. I got the interview, plus a bit from earlier where James said that there were sour grapes for The Living End, cos they're probably not gonna get any awards... then he went and interviewed them!

I figure that you just want the interview yeah?

I'll be recording the actual Arias as well, so there'll hopefully be footage from that too!

Fingers crossed I can upload some treats soon!

[Kacky]

I just looked on Getty Images, there's pics from the arrivals, but none of TLE...yet.

[maddie]

maddie would have taped it...right? :D

Probably. She's good like that! :p

Haha! is all I need to say but stupid 10 letters argh!

[jodiexxllewellyn]

Ah I'm excited! Cant wait to see it tonight.... *waits anxiously for 7.30*

[Erin]

plus a bit from earlier where James said that there were sour grapes for The Living End, cos they're probably not gonna get any awards...
i almost bashed my tv when he said that
but i just sat there in silence going :eek:

besides, i like sour grapes :D

[Evil Chris]

Australian Idol Itself is crap. I like sour grapes too. that is what gets me drunk

[maddie]

Woo they showed TLE on the Red Carpet just before :)

Another thing for me to upload for you :D

[Kevin]

man wolfmother are overhyped

[Evil Chris]

So You Say, If The Living End Were "overhyped" would you say they are?

[Kev]

Wolfmother - Breakthrough Album
Youth Group - Breakthrough Single
Hilltop Hoods - Best Urban Release
Veronicas - Best Poop release
Troy Cassar Daley - Best Country Relase

[Kevin]

well i believe they deserve the extra attention

i just don't think wolfmother are anything special

[Evil Chris]

same here. This in my catergory

The Living End: Special
Wolfmother: Normal
Eskimo Joe: Crap

[jodiexxllewellyn]

man wolfmother are overhyped

I reckon they've done really well for themselves.

Every band is overhyped when they first come out... whether or not the hype is still there 10 years from now will determine how good a band they are.

[Evil Chris]

well yeah, the living end. Ten years on, still kickin arse.

[TheBait]

The Veronicas won Best Pop Release.

EDIT: AUGH. Bloody David Tench. He's not funny. Fuckin' fishlips. Anyway, he's doing Best Country Album.

Anyway, the winner is Troy Cassar-Daley for Brighter Day.

[Evil Chris]

For a moment I thought you said Kevin Bloody Wilson when you said Bloody David Tench. Kevin Bloody Wilson is like the Funniest Guy in all of australia. Well him and Rodney Rude are both Gold.

[TheBait]

Agreed. The winner of Best Independant Release is (lawl myf warhurst) Hilltop Hoods. They also won Best Urban Release.

[cammo]

There are a few photos of the boys on the red carpet here (http://ariaawards.com.au/gallery.php?galleryID=3) on the ARIA website

[mel_bound]

my internerd is working once again! Watching the arias, looks like TLE aren't gonna perform. Nawwww.

[Rhiannon]

Kevin Bloody Wilson is a legend!

Trying really hard to sit through this Wolfmother performance. Ugh.

[_jimmy_]

it was cool,just his singing towards the end. has TLE been on yet?

[The Dying Start]

Yay, Hilltops!

[mel_bound]

Kevin Bloody Wilson is a legend!

Trying really hard to sit through this Wolfmother performance. Ugh.

Wow, not are they overrated but that guy is a horrible singer! Oh dear. *gag*

HOLY FUCK!
BLACK CAT
IS ON WHEN JOHNNY KNOXVILLE WALKED OUT ONTO THE STAGE!

[TheBait]

OSHIT THEY PLAYED BLACK CAT WHEN JOHNNY KNOXVILLE WAS ON OMG. lol

Haha Mel, you always post at the same time as me

BEST ROCK ALBUM LAWL

THE WINNER ISSSSSSSSSSSS FUCKING WOLFMOTHER CUNTS.

[mel_bound]

OMG I MANAGED TO POST THAT NEWS FIRST! LOLZOMG

:p

I can only find one photo on that site... WOOT! TLE!

[Bec]

Naww Wolfmother won best rock album :(

[The Dying Start]

What's with all the ragging on Wolfmother.

If you don't like them, shutup and deal with it. No one cares. Let those that like them enjoy them. At least they fucking play their instruments. At least they can pull out a decent live show. At least they play some real music.

[maddie]

They didn't get it :(

Eh, beated. But Glenn, I agree with you 100 per cent.

Though Andrew's vocal performance before wasn't exactly the best I've heard.

Fingers crossed for Best Band...

[TheBait]

I HATE WOLFMOTHER. They blew one of TLE's chances. Poor guys.

"At least they fucking play their instruments. At least they can pull out a decent live show." *snort* Yeah, but they can't sing for shit.

[mel_bound]

And they didn't win. Howz about that.

[_jimmy_]

damn,WM won best album,has eskimo joe performed yet?

[Bec]

Oh I don't have a particular problem with Wolfmother winning
I just wanted TLE to win more.

Wolfmother are okay

Yes Eskimo Joe have performed

[TheBait]

Nope, Eskimo Joe haven't performed.

[Bec]

Yes they did! They played Black Fingernails, Red Wine

[cammo]

If TLE won best rock album instead of Wolfmother I would have been shocked, Wolfmothers album was soooo much bigger than State Of Emergency.

And is all this Wolfmother bashing a trend just like it was cool to hate Jet?

[RollOn]

Haha Eskimo Joe were the first band to play.

I think you all know my position on Wolfmother. Bastards.
No. it's not a trend, it's called the truth.

[TheBait]

Did they? I can't remember. I forget things very quickly. Whoa, where did this laptop come from?

Oh, at the start. My mum was watching 60 mins, and I forgot about the awards. However, I'm recording it all on my digital set-top box with great quality. :)

And no, it isn't a trend, it's just our opinions. Not yours. Now scat! :P

[RollOn]

Yes, I'm with TheBait. It's not a trend, it's called the truth.

[TheBait]

I was about to say about the truth, but I figured it contradicted my statement about opinions. :P

WOO THEY SHOWED THE LIVING END. BTW, where'd Hamish and Andy go? :(

[_jimmy_]

are the boys there tonight?

[_jimmy_]

the boys are enjoying thier beer i see, good shot of andy but couldnt see scott

[Evil Chris]

heres a photo of them on the red carpet

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/1912/arias1oh1.png

[mel_bound]

Andy was just on, holding up his beer bottle at their table. Chris and Scott were in the background.

and stop posting that small picture damnit :p
http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/4140/282054992be64b130511fs9.jpg

[TheBait]

Yeah, that guy from Australian Idol showed them, after Troy Cassarwasserwhateverthefuckhisnameis. What's his name, Andrew G? I don't watch it,

[Bec]

Andrew G is the other one I think, the one that used to look like a gorilla until he cut his hair
I think that was James Matherson.

[TheBait]

Yeah, that's him, I just call him "The guy on Australian Idol, which isn't Andrew G. You know, the dark-skinned one".

[RollOn]

Yeah that was James Mathison then.
Nice photo Mel! Scott likes somewhat like a pimp haha

[Bec]

Woah Chris has a leopard print tie!

[Evil Chris]

As I said. The Living End Isn't everyones taste in music. I guess more people like wolfmother Better.

[TheBait]

Youth Group's on. Meh. They got a Breakthrough Single through a song which they didn't even write...

[mel_bound]

It's great how this thread has turned into a big whinge about anyone who wins who isn't TLE :p

[maddie]

So... so far I have 3 things to upload for you I guess. Won't be done immediately, but in the next few days :)

Ugh Youth Group.

[TheBait]

I'm not whinging about Youth Group, I don't mind them. I just find it stupid that their breakthrough single was a song they didn't write.

Oh, and maddie, don't worry, I'll get it off my set-top box tomorrow, and upload it on my Filefront account, k? Oh yeah, I'll also do RocKwiz on Saturday too, if you want. In crystal clear quality. ;)

[maddie]

It's great how this thread has turned into a big whinge about anyone who wins who isn't TLE :p

Hahaha! I agree. Very much.

[Evil Chris]

So... Its A much better version then the original.

[Bec]

It's a bit sad for them too, that they won breakthrough single for a song they didn't write.
Though I guess it's not really sad for them since they got an aria and all. But if they were gonna win it would be nice it was a song that they wrote.

[TheBait]

That is what I said for two posts, but no-one agreed with me.

TV Rock won again in Highest Selling Single. At least it wasn't fucking Lee Harding.

[jodiexxllewellyn]

God Aussies give shit arse speeches lol.
I'm sitting here cringing ha.

I like Eskimo Joe... but they were bloody boring.

[Colezy]

Nice photo Mel :) Glad to see that Chris has cleaned his shoes a little! :p Scotts hat is pretty awesome too!

[RollOn]

I'm come to the conclusion that most of the nominated Aussie music is shit.

[TheBait]

Human Nature won. They're ok. :)

You gotta love what that Hilltop Hoods guy said. "I wanna thank my mum, who has been in the mosh-pits at every Wolfmother concert she could get to." XD

[RollOn]

Yeah I love The Hilltop Hoods, they're good.

In other news Human Nature's acceptance speech is still going out the back of the Aria's!

[jodiexxllewellyn]

Are the boys presenting at all?

[Liz]

Well, Wolfmother just won best Rock Album. :(

[TheBait]

No idea. It'd be funny if they presented Best Group and they won. =/

Maddie, I'm going to put my set-top box copy of the ARIAs on my computer, and upload it to Filefront. You don't have to if you don't want to...But you can. :) Not trying to compete or anything, with crystal clear quality. ;)

Also, I'll record RocKwiz on Saturday with Chrissy Amphlett and Chris Cheney and upload it. :)

[RollOn]

Don't think so!
Hehe Human Nature look like the biggest twats ever at the moment!
Mum's getting a good laugh from them though.
I think they should be nominated for best comedy release :p

[mel_bound]

Well they didn't win Best Group neither. Are they up for anything else though?

[maddie]

They aren't presenting anything tonight.

No idea. It'd be funny if they presented Best Group and they won. =/

Haha. Umm well if you really really want to. Is it easy for you to do? I don't want you going to a lot of trouble, it's simple stuff for me.

But I like being the magical TV-recording wizard person!

[maddie]

Well they didn't win Best Group neither. Are they up for anything else though?

Nope that's it!

[Colezy]

Well they didn't win Best Group neither. Are they up for anything else though?
I don't think so. I wasn't counting on them winning anything, purely because of the way that the music industry is these days. They deserve it a hell of a lot more than most other bands though.
I just hope that they had a good time and enjoyed the free beer while they could! :p

[maddie]

Haha my thoughts exactly. :)

But all is not lost: the comedy category is still to come, and the Shambles are nominated for that! Fingers crossed!!!

[mel_bound]

haha yeah. I wonder if the food is good.

[hillaas]

Whoa. Just turned on the TV and saw that TLE got nominated for best gruop. Have they been uo for anything else tonight?

[jodiexxllewellyn]

Loved that song Bernard Fanning sang... very beautiful

[Ally]

Nick Launay is nominated for a couple of catagories that probobly won't be aired, but announced sometime during the evening.

[Colezy]

haha yeah. I wonder if the food is good.The Arias should be held at the Casino down here cause then not only would they get free beer and great food, but also my service! :p hehe

But who comes to Tassie?!

[mel_bound]

Nick Launay is nominated for a couple of catagories that probobly won't be aired, but announced sometime during the evening.

Yeah, shame that heaps of that isn't aired. Good luck to him! :D

[maddie]

Nick Launay is nominated for a couple of catagories that probobly won't be aired, but announced sometime during the evening.

I'm pretty sure they've already been announced a few days ago. He lost both, I think to the Veronicas or something?

[maddie]

ok, i've looked on the website
tle were nominated for

best cover art, winner was Bernard Fanning
best video(wake up), winner was Bernard Fanning
Engineer of the year (nick launay), winner was Matt Lovel (eskimo joe)
Producer of the year (nick launay), winner was Eskimo Joe

how would you feel... :(

Aha! Here we are... at least Eskimo Joe are no where near as bad as the Veronicas.

[hillaas]

When does the Arias finish?

[Evil Chris]

....There just as bad as each other.

[kyle_182]

does anyone know if gyro won something, i wouldnt think they would but it be cool if they did

[Bec]

They were nominated for something but didn't win.
I can't remember what it was though..

[mel_bound]

Oh, something was just mentioned with The Stormwater Boys... Scotty was in that filmclip as a Stormwater Boy right..? Interesting.

[_jimmy_]

dammit,TLE havent won anything. damn you wolfmother,why did you have to release your album this year!!!

[mel_bound]

That Midnight Oil thing was really awesome. Except the camera work on Bono really annoyed me. But, Midnight Oil, fuck yeah. Congrats guys! :D

[Rhiannon]

What a fantastic speech.

[mel_bound]

I concur. *claps*

[mel_bound]

They just played a little bit from 'Til The End coming back from the ad break.

[maddie]

Yeah, the Midnight Oil thing was absolutely brilliant. Amazing speech!

Well.

Eskimo Joe just won Single Of the Year for Black Fingernails red Wine

And Bernard Fanning won Album of the year with Tea And Sympathy.

[RollOn]

*sigh* We were robbed tonight, so not fair! Those Aria's are rigged, whoever they want to win, wins.
Grrrrrr

Good excuse for the boys to get drunk'd now though!

[luke_the edge_dragons]

midnight oil are cool...much better than the other crap groups like youth group. i was happy when bono came on!!! less than 2 weeks to my U2 conert!! what did james say about TLE & sour grapes? i missed it...he better not have dissed them! awards were ok. bernard fanning is alright...im ok with him winning best album. i like wolfmother but still think TLE shouldve got best rock album!! but they seemed to be having a good time drinking anyway!!...what else would they be doing???

[mel_bound]

well of COURSE you think TLE should have won it, you're a TLE fan on the TLE forum! haha. Everyone's so bitter about it! I really wanna say it, but.. I don't wanna say it... get over it :p

*sings Midnight Oil*

[Colezy]

well of COURSE you think TLE should have won it, you're a TLE fan on the TLE forum! haha. Everyone's so bitter about it! I really wanna say it, but.. I don't wanna say it... get over it :p

*sings Midnight Oil*
Haha, exactly. That's what I was getting at a few pages back. It's just the way that the music industry has gone now and it sucks.

[luke_the edge_dragons]

i no...i just get angry coz i feel TLE are so much better than everybody else at that whole awards ceremony!!! but im not 2 pissed!!! its ok. the oils rock!!

[Evil Chris]

Eskimo Joe just won Single Of the Year for Black Fingernails red Win


Pfft. I would have prefered TV Rock.

[Julian]

I'm not gonna rag too much on Wolfmother. But it pisses me of when one or two artists bring home the majority of the awards. It really sucks that Augie March and of course, tle didn't get to bring home an award for two fucking awesome albums.

I'm reasonably happy. Bernard didn't get the award for a category he shouldn't have been in and Bob Evans won something even though they didn't broadcast it :( .

[RollOn]

I agree with Luke! With everything he said.
It's the same every ARIA's though, the ones that really deserve it don't win! I'm not meaning just TLE here either.

[Julian]

Pfft. I would have prefered TV Rock.

Are you fucking mad? Eskimo Joe are great! The one band that I really really like that won an award tonight besides Bob Evans.

[Julian]

I agree with Luke! With everything he said.
It's the same every ARIA's though, the ones that really deserve it don't win! I'm not meaning just TLE here either.

What makes you think they didn't deserve it? Because you don't like their music? I'm sure Wolfmother have worked just as hard as tle to get their music out there. I'm only pissed cause I hate when bands miss out and others leave with a bag!

[Kev]

The Arias have been rigged for ages.

Bernie rigged them this year. All because of the not so secret organisation that he's in.

Also Denis Handlin is the Chairman for sonyBMG and The Aria Awards... Shifty eh? See John Safran's music mole for aria award scandals.

[Kev]

The Music Mole - The Aria Awards (http://203.15.102.143:8080/ramgen/media/267musicmole_ep2.rm)

Needs realplayer to view.

[Colezy]

Thanks for that Kev. I'll go and watch it in a sec! :)

[Evil Chris]

Are you fucking mad? Eskimo Joe are great! The one band that I really really like that won an award tonight besides Bob Evans.


I dont like the sound to there gorrila voices

[jodiexxllewellyn]

I reckon everyone who got awards tonight deserved them.

TLE have got Aria awards in the past... Lets all just be happy they were nominated shall we.

[Evil Chris]

Nah, Wolfmother Deserved Their Awards.

[MissyA]

Just got back from the ARIAS. Great night. I have a headache but...Silverchair were very loud.

Did anybody hear my big screams each time TLE were mentioned? And when Gyro were mentioned too. If you heard them, then that was me :D I had to let them know they had some support there.

ciaooooo

[Colezy]

Haha, well done!! :p I wasn't watching, but I'll listen out for your screaming when its uploaded!

Did you have a good time?

[MissyA]

Certainly did have a great time! Eskimo Joes performance was fantastic. I am disappointed TLE didnt win but i didnt really expect them too as bad as that may sound.

My scream must've been alright. Got an SMS from my friend who said 'I think i just heard you scream for TLE'. They know me too well!!!

Bedtime. gotta be up for work in the morning :eek: ciao

[Evil Chris]

Well they were just mentioned before commercial break. and I heard A whole crowd scream. at least I think it was a croud... then James just goes "and here's jesse who just ate a lamb shank"....what the hell.. are they gonna mention everytime he scratches him self...

[Colezy]

Thats what they consider to be 'humour'

[Evil Chris]

Also. Before the arias. You know those ads of "coming up next" they played a bit of black cat.

[TheBait]

Meh, I don't find any good reason to upload it. Gimme one and I might.

[jodiexxllewellyn]

I thought they were rather boring on TV... but live is always better :)

seen it :p

[andrew357]

Is it just me or is anyone else insanely irritated that they didn't pickup an award? :mad:

[Colezy]

Have you not read any of the posts before yours?! :p

[andrew357]

Have you not read any of the posts before yours?! :p

i mean *insanely* annoyed, make you go postal insane?

[RollOn]

After my little whinge I don't feel annoyed anymore about TLE not winning anything.
I'm sure as hell not gonna go postal that's for sure.

I personally still don't like Wolfmother, not because they took TLE's aria's as some people seem to think.
I dislike their style of music and their vocals. *shudders* His voice, argh!

[*M!]

i'm not a wolfmother fan - there's a freshess or something that's lacking in their Music for me... or something like that - (i'm not entering into an originality debate 'cause there is very little that's truly original around at the moment)

i wasn't expecting TLE to win anything - it's kinda sad to admit that really - but even so, i did hope that they would... it was good that i didn't blink when the coverage was on - i managed to actually see them on screen - it was funny!

maybe we just need to get everyone to buy the album or a specific single - then we'll get them the award for highest selling...

haha!

i almost wanted Lee Harding to win the highest selling single for Wasabi - just so he could get up there and (hopefully) say that TLE was great! :O

so sad

i'll crawl back into my cave now!

*M!

[Jawn]

I'm not annoyed that TLE didn't win anything, I didn't think SOE deserved an ARIA win. The wolfmother album (and reception it recieved) was a lot stronger. I'm pissed off Bernard Fanning got album of the year though.

[jodiexxllewellyn]

So... did anyone get any videos?

[Colezy]

Maddie did, but she said that it might take a day or two to get them uploaded :) Can't wait.

[Kacky]

I can't wait either. :D

[jodiexxllewellyn]

Lovely. Cant wait to see them!
Sharing is caring on these boards haha

Oh and I love your sig...

haha, thanks! :)

[The Dying Start]

The played Black Cat as intros/outros about 5 times! Coulda flogged another few songs off the album aswell!

[TLE_rok]

i herd it when they came back from one of the breaks
