SUICIDAL TENDENCIES REVIEW
Suicidal Tendencies played in the Roundhouse in Sydney last night, and their set was Loud, and their energy level was permanently set to “chaos. The crowd was packed tight and the punks, metalheads, and skaters were all waiting for the iconic Suicidal Tendencies. When the lights dropped and the band stormed the stage, it felt less like a concert and more like a riot with rhythm and mayhem.
Big Noter absolutely tore the place apart last night, and I’m still buzzing. From the second they hit the stage, the whole room lifted. The guitars came in slashing, the bass was shaking the floor, and the drums smashed through every beat. The vocals were strong and the energy made it impossible not to get swept in. Every chorus felt huge, and the crowd was right there with them. You could tell they were loving every second of it, and that made the show even better. Big Noter played like a band on a mission. Loud, tight, and full of attitude. If you get the chance to see them live, don’t even think twice, just go. They deliver an epic set.
As the set kicked off with "You Can't Bring Me Down , Join the Army and I Shot Reagan" Frontman Mike Muir brought pure adrenaline to the stage like a man on a mission as he sang his songs. His trademark bandana and “Suicidal” shirt haven’t changed, and neither has that raw, rebellious charisma. You could feel the passion in his voice, especially when he tore into "Freedumb and Send Me Your Money" and he is still the ultimate motivational madman of metal-punk crossover.
The set continued with "War Inside My Head and Subliminal" , and Ben Weinman brought a whole new flavour to Suicidal Tendencies as his guitar echoed through the venue. His playing was sharp, chaotic, and full of life, and he nailed those classic thrash riffs, with a punk attitude. You could see how much fun he was having, as he was jumping, headbanging, and he kept every solo perfectly in control.
The headbanging was chaotic as the set launched into "Lovely and Adrenaline Addict" with Nisha STar who came out on stage and amazed us audience with her voice and hitting every note, and Tye Trujillo played Thunderous bass tones that shook the building, and they were gritty and completely dominating. Watching him slap and groove through the setlist was electrifying. He brought a perfect mix of funk and thrash that defines Suicidal’s signature sound, and his connection with the crowd kept the vibe going all night.
The Smooth Shredding continued with "I Saw Your Mommy, Possessed to Skate and Cyco Vision" , and Dean Pleasants kept everything tight and grounded. He went wild and laid down classic riffs with absolute precision. His solos soared, and his melodies hit that nostalgic sweet spot. He delivered a cool, focused, and flawless performance that made you want more.
The pandemonium persisted as "I Want More and How Will I Laugh Tomorrow" played and the Drum Beast Jay Weinberg was a machine. He pounded through every track with speed and finesse, and he added insane fills that got the fans headbanging. He has old-school fire that was jaw-dropping.
By the end of the night, the Roundhouse floor was soaked in sweat and smiles. When Mike led the crowd into the final “Pledge Your Allegiance”CHECK chant, everyone had their fists up, shouting see if they say “ST!” like it was a sacred ritual.
Suicidal Tendencies didn’t just perform an epic set. They delivered a masterclass in energy, musicianship, and pure attitude. Sydney got a reminder that the Suicidal Army is still alive, loud, and forever cyco.
