okay, anniekins, we're counting on *you* for pics and stories from the vines' first bdo appearance! any other lucky nz-ers who made it better fill us in too!!

or else craig wont be happy

can't wait

I'm editing the pics now, I'll put them up shortly.
Sorry guys, I didnt get too many pictures unfortunately, I waited for an hour at the stage and got a spot RIGHT up the front-center (yay me!) but the moshing was so intense
Oh and as for the merch stand, all they had was a Vines Vision Valley tshirt, which was white with a VV print on it. and yes, I did buy it

I cant remember the exact set list, but they did play vision valley, winning days, ride, get free, fuk yeh, fuck the world, animal machine, in the jungle, Gross out, Dont listen to the radio, Outtathaway, Highly Evolved and I think that may have been it.
they ended with fuck the world, and were INCREDIBLE!
craig when crazy, swung his white fender around numerous times, rolled around on the ground numerous times, and continuosly threw his guitar at hamish's drum kit.
I spent every little break between the songs yellin "I LOVE YOU RYAN!" and "SPACESHIP!! PLAY SPACESHIP!!"
There was one guy right next to me at the front who loved the vines aswell, and before the show we saw brad walking around behind the set, so we both yelled BRAD, and brad turned around, gave us this lop-sided smile and nodded at us, so we started screaming
Oh, and during a part of vision valley, craig smiled and pointed at me, i'm guessing for knowing the lyrics better than he did
Although I love Brad, and he should probably be a male model, he had zero stage presence, and basically stood in his corner of the stage and did nothing the whole time.

Okay guys
the few decent pictures that I got













and these were two of the many bruises I got from the vines mosh



I wish I had better, or more pictures for you, but I had a really crap quality camera that I had to sneak in and the mosh was so dangerous, I gave up after the first couple of songs.

Woah! Thanks Annie!!!!

Aww they all look great . And Hamish is bringing back the 'stache!!! . Haha, I love it . He looks very 1970s . Brad looks like he's letting his hair grow out, and I love those sunnies . And is Craig wearing a hawian shirt?
I'm so glad you had a great time Annie!!! Not that it's possible to have anything but a good time when you see The Vines live . I just hope those bruises go away quickly... they look painful . Ouch.

Thanks Jen -I mean allie, jesus
If they look painfull, Imagine how they feel.
It wasnt really a hawaiian shirt, it just had tree's on it.
It was a little odd tho

Omg hamish tash, cool!
Craig looks to of had a little hair cut

Ouch that looks like it hurt

Brads picture makes me laugh!
The Hammy stache is awesome those are preeetty spiffy pictures craigs looks great as well

Oh, it really did
It got worse by the time I got to the muse mosh pit
I also have bruises on my chest and back from the vines
and knee's
and my neck no longer moves

They look amazing!!!
I can't wait.
I think craig likes it when you wave your arms and know the words to the songs my friend and i did that at homebake and she swears craig smiled at us but i think shes just wishfully thinking.

It's Allie but yeah you gotta love Craig's fashion sense .
I'm about to leave for the airport in 15 minutes . Woot! I really can't wait to see the guys again . Although hopefully I don't get as bruised as you Annie .

Aw, Annie I'm glad you had a great time!

Sorry about your bruises. On both hip bones. Ouch.




If those two get any sexier......*insert extremely explicit, filthy dirtiness here*

*jizzessssss*

Edit: Great photos by the way.

oh god I'm sorry allie.
my brains not working.

OMG! Ryan ... He can't get any seXXXier than this. OMG he's gorgeous!!!

And there I was the other day, saying how glad I am the stache is gone. Oh, the irony of life ...

Craig looks nice, I really like his hair now.

Thank you very much Annie for all those pics *hug*


HOT HOT HOT HOT! I feel like putting off my jumper whereas i'm in winter


He's so cute Oh my... and look Ursa, he doesn't have his fugly sunglasses Did one of the fans kill them, by any chance? And the haiiiir ... wonderful !!!!

I'm totally in love with the new hamish ... those sunglasses suit so good on him and the stach ... THE PORN-STACH IS BAAAAACK He knows we love this


MY ANGEEEEEL ... *thud* How handsome, how perfect he IS!
Oh my god, There were so many conversations talking about a Craig with a short on and a hawaian shirt (sorry i don't know how to write it correctly, lawwwwl). He did it! OMG, now he just need to get a short on !!!!
In conclusion : HE'S STILL INCREDIBLY GORGEEEOOOOOUUUUSSSS

MmmMmmMM... Gradouillou legs, that is! Y U M M Y

Edit: Too much smilies .... But it's too hard! How can i show my enthusiasm without them *thud*

I sure hope those sunglasses are resting with the fishes somewhere in Australian sea. Or maybe Vicki claimed them back.

We do? Since when? I much prefer shaved Hamish. He really looked like a child molester with the stache. Sorry, Ham-man. But let's just hope he doesn't leave just the upper lip unshaved. Because that's so Village people style. I want a well-kept beard or nothing. That's my offer, Hamish. Take it or leave it. But I shall summon a curse upon you if you get Charlie Chaplin's ones.

Let's say a shark ate them
Who's Vicki? please don't tell me it's the nickname of ...
At least, Nadia and me do He knows it since we threw this french grandma pants... He got it and on, there was written 'hope to see you with the stach' or something like that! I think i remember right

Thank you, shark.

Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice aka robotic life form married to Becks.

Haha, I'm glad to see the guys respect their fans' wishes. OMG could you please throw humungo pants on stage at Great Escape with 'Ryan, please become a naked tambourine player' written on them?

Alright.

They're good boys good boys!
And don't tempt me that much I'd freakin' do it...

Do it! I beg you! You can put my name under it! That'd be so ace! Please, do it!!!

Okay huuum, i'll try to do it. And i'll put YOUR name in, ONLY yours

You will?! Haha, I so want to see Ryan's reaction. Ha! Thank you, Cécile.

Or i could even stalk them, try to get in the backstages, get to see Ryan and give it to him in person. That would be even better. I'd say 'Hey, you know ... you've got one of the craziest/ most beautiful/nicest fan ever and she's asking you a favour'

Yup, that's me. Haha, and you could get someone to record the whole thing! I just hope he'd take the whole thing as a joke and wouldn't be completely devastated.

Hell yeaaah definately, i'll get someone to record the scene And Ursa, if he survived to the ghey thingie, he can survive to this little, very little thing

^^ You have a strong point there. Haha, I can almost see his reaction now. It'd something like this:


And next time we'd see him with nothing but a tambourine.

D'you imagine if he really does it ? Oh gosh, that'd be amazing.

^^ Oh, I can imagine it very well. My mental images are very bright and vivid and colorful and stuff. Yes, I can surely imagine it. But poor Ryan would get raped in a matter of seconds if he showed naked on the stage. By me. Oh, I want to be on the next show after Great Escape! I can't miss a nekkid Ryan.

Ahah! I knew you would. You little pervy-innocent girl
I wish you could come I'd so love to do it with you

I think that innocent part is starting to shrink.

Me too. But Ryan's safer that way. Still, giving him that would be a priceless experience. I think he'd laugh. Can you imagine? Ryan's soft cheerful laughter? I'd melt on the spot. I'd faint and he'd catch me ... *sigh* *drifts into fantasy world*

EDIT: Boy, are we ! Err, I'll stop.

Laaawl Don't worry, i am 100% sure it's the very same for everyone on here!
You're such a dreamer Although that could certainly happen that way! I wish, i even think of something, you could do it yourself, the way you want and stuff. Then you could send it to me, it would really be YOUR thing

Yeah let's stop the off-topic !

Craig is too beautiful in those pictures i wish i were there

He really was gorgeous
and had a biggg smile on his face the whole time
the crowd wasnt too huge
but it was really intimate, and intense

Awwwww, that sounds so sweet!
Craig's such a happy guy now. There's no doubt of it!
Oh, that was great in a way as you said it was intimate. Like he did it only for you

Oh yeah, but I guess I can't use the panties then since that was your and Nadia's idea to start with. I shall think of something! Haha, OMG I can't believe I'm actually thinking of sending stuff over to Ryan.


I was wondering ... Did Craig and Ryan ...errr... interact on the stage? I mean, did they do anything special? Also, what did Craig say between songs? He usually makes silly comments. And oh, you didn't happen to see if that necklace of Ryan's had a pendant, did you? And did Brad sing, too? I don't see a mic stand in the pic.

Mmm ilu Brad

Edit: why hasn't anyone even commented on Brad's legs yet? Am I the only one who notices how abnormally girly they are?

he looks a lil bit like jonny bravo

Ah no they didnt Ursa
The only person Craig really interacted with was Hamish, and that was at the end when he was trying to destroy his drum kit
I dont actually know what he said, he's got a really mumble-y voice and plus we were all screaming so loud at the front we couldnt tell
I think Ryans necklace did have a pendant on it, but I cant remember what it was, sorry!
and Brad did the occasional back up vocal, couldnt really hear him.

Darn. Well, there was probably more interaction between them after the set, so I'm happy anyway.

I have a pretty fair guess what it might be. It was a small silver plate with Craig's name engraved on it. Aww, those boys ...

WHAT IS THAT ON CRAIG!! ???

one of the ugliest shirt i've ever seen ( i hope it's the light who's making this!)

well Ryan and Brad are so !!!




twas "Hamish i love you with your stache i hope to see ya wearing it at the show!"

Hey, I like the shirt! Craig's at least isn't cock-blocking like Ryan's. Damn, Ryan, do you have to wear shirts twice your size? But then again, he'd probably have to wear things from junior section to get clothes that'd fit his tiny skiny body.

Ryan especially!

So it is YOU who's responsible for the 'stache comeback! I *personally* think it adds a couple of years to Hamish.

I LOVE THE STACHE
ALL HAIL THE STACHE !!

I agree!
the stache is hotttttttttttt.

The vines were my highlight at the BDO, the mosh was supprisingly violent. A few sore people in it i'm sure, but everyone looked after another, didn't see anyone drop or get trampled which was good. The energy on stage was great and i reckon the vocals were more awesome than on the album because he was going so much harder and the destructive spaz at the end was entertaining.

The only downside i felt was the twat in the red and green cap who threw a bottle at Hamish, a few of us near this dude were like what the f*ck? and i'm sure they wanted to give him the bash along with myself. It was tempting cos that sorta action is just idiotic if your submerged in a crowd full of fans, but i wasn't gonna get violent and make the day worse.




...and the 'stache is brilliant!!!

wtf????????
I was front and center the WHOLE time, I dont remember this

i can't remember which song it was during, it flew pretty quick, like my mate standing beside me (we were mid centre) didn't see it either, but a few of us in the area were not happy with this dude. If you blinked you would've missed it. It didn't actually hit hamish, it nearly hit his crash symbal (acutally it might have hit it, though he was hitting that symbal at the time so the sound wouldn't have been noticable), but it pretty much flew over his left shoulder concerning him for a while.

man thats INSANE! I cant believe I didnt see that.
I probably did blink and miss it though, even though I was right at the front, the mosh was so insane I kept losing my concentration
plus I got kicked in the head two or three times from the occasional crowd surfer

Brad is effing hot.
And so is Craig.


Thanks for the great pics Annie!

haha what about that dude crowd surfing with the bizzare mask and white robe thingies with turban. he didn't give up after being pulled off by security and dropped a few times.

i remember everyone crow surfing at the forum in london during ftw so we missed parts of the tarditonal set trash! but its alrite when your up there lol

Oh man he was HILARIOUS
he kicked me in the head twice tho
he gets kicked out the first time for crowd surfing
and then jumps back in the second time and does it again

It was funny, although a little distracting I have to admit.
