Metal Rules and Everything Else Sucks So Come See Bon Scott Tribute Bon Voyage

It’s a proven fact that metal is the most powerful music genre in the world and the most powerful front man to have strutted the earth in skin tight Levis was Bon Scott. The first four AC/DC albums are the greatest records of all time. Seriously, just throw every other record you own in the garbage now.

Bon Voyage is an OG tribute to the great man and the genre that he owned. Made up of members of SPOD, Black Level Embassy and Hell City Glamours they take anthems like “Jailbreak” and “Big Balls”, douse themselves in Jack Daniels and then blow heads off with extreme riffage.

They are playing a special gig in Sydney at the Lansdowne on Thursday Oct 23 as part of a Noisey, Rice Is Nice and Pistonhead party. Joining them for some extreme metal carnage will be Totally Wylde (made up of members from Palms, Fabergettes and Straight Arrows) who are one of the world’s best cover bands of classic hits. Shatterbrain who are definitely the world’s best metal project featuring Richard from Richard In Your Mind are also playing.

This night of deadset rock glory costs zero dollar bills but you have to RSVP.

To celebrate this night of psychopathic metal we ask members of each band some questions about metal and AC/DC

Name: SPOD
Band/instrument: Bon Voyage/voice and drink sips.
Drug/booze of choice: Woodstock Tallies.
Best metal band shirt: It’s hard to go past an Iron Maiden Number of the Beast shirt, but I’ve got a huge soft spot for Suicidal Tendencies ‘Possessed to Skate’ shirt which isn’t true metal. But the true winner is the Manowar 1992 Triumph of Steel World Tour shirt. Death to false metal.
Why metal rules and everything else sucks: North Rocks car park, glass bottles of coke, tight jeans, flannos and hi top Asics with Metallica’s Kill Em All on the boombox is always going to be the ultimate musical choice. Metal is timeless.

Name: Mr Shatterbrain
Band/instrument: Shatterbrain/sing and strobe
Drug/booze of choice: Adrenalin injected into my eyeball
Best metal band shirt: Slayer
Best AC/DC song: “Back in Black”
Why metal rules and everything else sucks: Metal has the power to transform you into a stomping apocalypse axe machine. Everything else is so bland, weak and fake it makes me want to fart on it till it dies.

Name: Brett O’Riley
Band/instrument: Bon Voyage/bass
Drug/booze of choice: Chroming
Best metal band shirt:

Best AC/DC song: "If You Want Blood"
Why metal rules and everything else sucks:

Name: D. Danger
Band/instrument: Totally Wylde/6 string facemelter
Drug/booze of choice: Beer from a can or spirits from a bottle
Best metal band shirt: Anything with the sleeves removed
Best AC/DC song: Tie between “Jailbreak” and “Big Balls”
Why metal rules and everything else sucks: Until some other genre can produce something as sick as "Number of the Beast" I'm not listening.

Rice is Nice, Pistonhead and Noisey present Bon Voyage, Totally Wylde and Shatterbrain at the Lansdowne Thurs Oct 23. Free entry but RSVP here.
