As we all know, The Vines played a slot at Golden Plains festival - this is a thread for discussion of the gig. Post photos, videos, articles, your experience and comments.

I'll start:

So Craig is the skinniest he's ever been and Ryan has a newfound love for bowler hats. I ... am not entirely sure what to say about the latter.

Ryan's hat made me lol. Did anyone here go? I wonder if they played any new songs. What can I say about Craig? The boy looks amazing - as always. Sweet dreams for me tonight. : D

awww craig still hooot!! and Ryan's hat really cute

FUCKIN H.O.T

i love craigs shirt and...everything. omg.

Craig's been doing the dieting too! Yay
I'm really keen to see how far my hand can rap around the top of his arm.
Maybe he has been working out?



Yeah do the chiken....

This is just so... wow. Craig looks amazing. I'm still amazed he's managed to somehow travel back in time. If it wasn't for the guitar then I'd so thought this was from some years back. But he looks so skinny
And Ryan's hat still cool though.

And lol at the first pic

I wonder what this show sounded like anyone who was there and can tell?

My goodness!!! Craziness!! there's no way! He looks not a single year older than those great Highly Evolved days!.. could this be symbolic? will we have another huge Vines hype gracing those magazine covers again?
I reckon we will I'm astonished And I must compliment Ryan on the new hat-style.. very suave

Where'd all the people go on this forum who went to that show? I want to know more about it, did they play any new songs?

he looks gorgeous.

all I can say is WOW

thanks MisplacedKeys

WOW I just found THESE amazin pics:

OH MY GOD. HES SO HOT!!!

and this lovely one in black and white:

Is that ... a ... big phat golden chain?! Since when is he a fan of bling? Bad, baaaaaaad fashion choices. *applies for their stylist* *because those kids need help in that area*

nooooo its isnt. its a pearl necklet...looks cute.

Oh, yeah, I see it now, looking at other pics. But jesus, it really looked like something golden and big at first - it gave me quite the fright.

we all know he wouldnt wear stuff like that...

KJDJHJDHOO ... JJFZJOJKCJPZF HIODZJADO HOLY FUCK, PLZ CALL AN ABULANCE IM DYING OF HOTNESS OVERLOAD!
he's too hot to be true, seriously? how can you be this sexy? how can you be so perfect?
i know a guy who's the embodiment of perfection but he's no way as great as Craig.
this is freaky how a guy you have only met once can have such an impact on you.
fangirl/ : I LOVE YOU CRAIIIIG, I DO!

jesus christ, the guy has SKINNY LEGS. I LOVE YOU CRAIG.
but don't get too skinny, chub is great ()

Ryan is getting cuter & cuter everyday. and i'll viciously punish any one that makes fun of his hat. it suits him perfectly. he's wearing the new fashion of winter 2008, i'm telling you!

i'm going to try & see if i can find videos on youtube

He's wearing his old maroon velvet jacket he wore at VMAs and a hideous hat. If that's fashion of winter 2008, I highly doubt I'll follow those trends. With all due respect, but Ryan really is pushing it in terms of fashion - in the wrong way.

Tried that, didn't find anything yet. I keep googling for news and there's nothing there yet. I'm so pissed off because I know they played new songs and we have no means to hear them as of yet.

ryan looks like malcolm mcdowell in a clockwork orange.

make with the new tunes bittcchhheees.

PS- this just popped up on nme- nothing about the show or anything- just about the release of the best of, and saying that the new album will have a summer release.

Haha, he does! Isn't that Craig's favourite film?

SECONDED.

poor Ryan. even his top-listed fan is slagging him off. still love the hat, though. at least, you can see he's not one of those superficial guys who care more about their look than important and real things that matter the most in life.

poo! this is the most important thing about that gig and that's what we don't succeed to get. do we even know who went there?

Those Capitol bitches rescheduled the release AGAIN?

Don't get me wrong, I love that man like a fat kid loves cake, but clothes just aren't his thing.

you are so bloody right. it's killing me.

a best of ? good news, though i'm not sure it'll happen. didn't they already say they'd release a DVD? and where is the DVD? NME sometimes sucks!

I agree, it's more of a Craig thing

thanks

i just hope that the album won't be released when part of the forum will be dead or 100 year old annoying & insane grandparents.

DAYUMMM!

This just really really can't be from the Golden Plains Festival! Gah, he's so...so...I don't even know the right expression, dreamy. And how can he be so skinny? Whatever diet shake he's drinking, I'm buying. Oh, and stop teasing Ryan's hat! I luv it, seriously. But you can tell I was never quite in touch with the fashion industry, but whateva.

basically not worth reading but they're mentioned as a highlight:

``(But) we think in the 17 years we've been on the site, it was probably the best festival we've ever had with the best crowd behaviour we've ever had.''

with the vines, anyway

I had a peep. You would think after two days there would be some sort off material that would review the vines other then just a sentence

well i guess the festival only finished today, and they performed last night, as it were. so if there is going to be anything, it'll be in the australian papers tomorrow... so in like a couple of hours time.

just found this- at the bottom of page 1- apparently our boys are generating some heat for SXSW.

Lovely photos of Craiggers.
Maybe Ryan is channelling Jack White in his White Blood Cells days.

I must say this is confusing...well in a good way because Craig looks exactly the same as he did in 2004 or 2005 I think.
He has totally turned around, at least before I could make difference when I see pictures of him, I could tell from which period (year) they were.

But Ryan and his hat are creepy...since I watched "Clockwork Orange" I can't stand them.

And I hope that there are some video footages from the gig, it would be nice.

same here . this thread reminds me the year 2005.

id say he looks like back in 2002, really

Oh yea you have a point there...it is more 2002 or 2003...haha I am confused now it seems that I'm totally time orientation retarded.

hey guys, long time since i was here last.
i brough a camcorder and managed to record a few songs (old songs) although as there was security walking in the crowd (possibly looking for the guy holding up a camera) i didnt get much.
whats best, youtube? is there a bittorrent tracker i should use?
cheers
jamie

How was the show? Tell us everything!

YouTube is probably the best choice since it's what most people use, but it would also be nice if you uploaded the videos to YouSendIt or another file hosting service like that so we can have the videos on our computers. But anything will be appreciated.

OMG AND I MEAN OMG AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH watt the hell talk about flash back!!!!

i thought these were old pics of craig untill i saw ryans new clockwork orange look and i new thay wernt old.......mannn i wished i chould of bean there

We still don't know whether they played any new songs?!?! no videos?!?! no page-length recounts on how great it must've been?! please do tell soon, as not all of us were there, we're all dying to know how amazing it was

Why was there security? Were they officially recording the shows or something? But thanks for risking it though.
