Pants were almost wet at the Music Feeds offices when we read that FUCKING FAITH NO MORE were joining the annual rock-fest, and with JANE’S ADDICTION making up for their failed Splendour appearance the lineup was already starting to once again look impressive… then we saw MESHUGGAH and the FUCKING EAGLES OF DEATH METAL were also on the bill, and Mikey peed himself… The full first lineup is as follows:

angry man do you even know good music i think not get a life!
August 14, 2009 at 12:04 pm
This line-up seems to be aimed mainly at emo and scene chicks. Quite a shame. Not sure i’ll bother just to see Meshuggah. Little bit of diversity please people. This is all gonna sound the same.
August 14, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Soundwave has always been aimed at the underage emo and scene crowd. That’s why it’s an all ages event…
That being said, is no one else excited to see FUCKING FAITH NO MORE!?
August 14, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Mikey’s always peeing himself…
August 14, 2009 at 3:22 pm

August 14, 2009 at 3:24 pm
Fuck the Goo Goo Dolls, they can suck my balls
They look like the dogs that hang out at the mall
Eminem can suck it, so can Dr. Dre
They can suck each other just because they’re gay
They can suck a dick, they can lick a sack
Everybody shout, “Heavy metal’s back!”
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Death to Papa Roach, Blink 182
All those fucking pussies sounds like doggy-doo
Wearing baggy pants, spiking up their hair
They’re not worth the crust on my underwear
Where is Def Leppard? Where is Mötley Crüe?
Why do all my lyrics sound like Dr. Seuss?
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Kills those fucking fuckheads who programme MTV
They can suck my ass with all the record companies
Death to Britney Spears, kill the little slut
Kill Madonna too and then fuck her in the butt
Fuck Mariah Carey, death to Sheryl Crowe
They can kiss each other on the camel toe
50 Cent’s a fag, so is Kanye West
Shooting hot sperm on each others’ chest
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal

August 14, 2009 at 8:02 pm

August 15, 2009 at 7:21 pm
A WILHELM SCREAM, best fucking live band ever!!!

oh yeah set your goals on the second announcement!!!!
August 20, 2009 at 11:10 pm
that metal cunt with his song can shove it up his arse. Great line up and theres sumthin there for every1. im excited.
August 24, 2009 at 2:23 pm
na angryman is right ay.. shit line-up.. just shit
August 27, 2009 at 1:54 am
Yeah, this years lineup was heaps better, i knew they wouldnt be able to top it. I hate to say it, but i completely agree, we need more diversity, this is gonna be a huge emo fest. That stuff is ok, but its not for everyone, in the past years of soundwave there have been some excellent bands on the metal stages.
If the 2nd announcement doesnt blow our socks off, this is gonna be a bad year for soundwave. Theres gonna be 5 or six stages of emo, emotional, emotive hardcore, indipendant emo and alternative emo.
And one stage with the semi metalish stuff like Maximum the hormone, whitechapel, meshuggah and trivium.

When it comes to summer festivals, Soundwave usually has my vote, as many metal fans agree, if you want a good dose of metal then soundwave is the best. But unfortunately this years soundwave lineup is disappointing to say the least. There are much better gigs to go and see if you want metal (slayer megadeth lamb of god static-x devildriver), than to waste a buttload of money on a pissy soundwave ticket only to walk around feeling like you want to bash all the paramore teenies. Unfortunately unless soundwave steps up to the plate, and changes next years lineup drastically, then soundwave is fated to be the same as the failure we have come to know as big day out. So other people i would definitely be saving my money for some of the other awesome metal gigs from privately touring bands than blowing 110 bucks (or whatever)just to see trivium meshuggah and whitechapel (who will no doubt be on during the day anyway, which is shit. Soundwave theres no fucking way im getting sunburnt for this pissy lineup this year. Well done… Youv’e successfully turned soundwave into a britney spears concert.
September 17, 2009 at 11:45 am
I don’t think the lineup is bad. But I agree with the wanting to bash the Paramore Tweenies. I will be bringing some eggs to egg them with. I’m pretty excited, but I hope the Sydney organisers sort out last years’ issues though.
P.s, I’m pretty stoked A.F.I. are on the list. I kind of forgot I used to like them, back in the day…
And Devil Wears Prada, fuckin’ YEAH BOY!
September 25, 2009 at 11:56 am

December 29, 2009 at 2:19 pm
jeez everyone fucking chill.
who gives a shit if its gonna be an ‘emo’ fest.
im going. i am not an emo.
im a fucking cook islander who happens to like this genre of music. i have all respect for emos, if thats what they want to be seen as, then good for them.
no one cares if you think that the music we like, is not the music you like and you think its shit. i am going because more then three of my favourite bands are playing.
so to the haters, shut the fuck up, no one wants to hear it.
January 2, 2010 at 12:19 am
Best line up ever.
Escape the fate <33

wow this is the shittiest shit i have ever seen. i dont want to go to a concert to sit there and listen to some faggy emo band talking about how bad there life is and watching all these scene kids doing there hxc2 step shit to the br00tal breakdowns i mean this year was way better lamb of god in flames to name a few i just feel sorry for whitechapel and meshuggah for getting convinced to play at such a shit concert.
January 11, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Forget about Soundwave for now – what about Music Feeds?
No movement on the site – is it all over? Say it ain’t so!
January 11, 2010 at 3:13 pm
hey shane they just posted this

I see what everyone is talking about, and I understand. Although, I have learned to expand my horrizons and embrace all types of music. I have to say that this is my first Soundwave gig but I am pretty empressed. To get such a diverse style of music together in one area is pretty cool. Dont get me wrong I am hanging out to see my favorite bands as well ie Cluth, Baroness, Isis and a few others, I just dont see what the point is putting people down for the style of music they listen to. But what the hell no one will probably listen to me anyway and if they do they will most likely blast me for being sensitive.
January 22, 2010 at 1:24 pm
The reason people care enough to bitch on this site is because they feel they are a part of what was the only metal festival in australia, (with some scene shit on the side for those that like it). Seems like its reversed the trend this year which is disapointing. That and the nazi organisers remove any negative posts on the soundwave forums under the pretense it should be hidden in a enormous general info thread.
Fuck you soundwave! and u emo girly men.
February 10, 2010 at 8:26 pm
fuck this bull shit i will pay 100 bucks to see whitechapel but fuck sake paramore?? a day to remember? fuck sake if ur emo going to the perth show im gonna jump on your chin
February 18, 2010 at 3:01 pm
a day to remember are amazing so please stfu
