Scanning various blog updates today, we find reviews of Fall Out Boy playing Down Under, Megadeth playing a few notches below the top of their game, and Def Leppard playing with their shirts off.

- Fall Out Boy played in Brisbane, Australia, last night, causing one blogger’s head to explode (not literally, we hope) and forcing her to endure barricade bruising, ringing ears and “mozzie” bites. (LiveJournal)

- Megadeth in NYC: “Head banging, crowd surfing, fist pumping, devil horns, mucho beer and whiskey consumption (and throwing), nonstop MOSHING… check check check check check check CHECK. How many metal moment checks is that? A lot.” (Ear Farm)

- Is “gunter glieben glauchen globen” German for “keep your shirt on”? If so, perhaps Def Leppard should be taking their own advice. How old are those guys, anyways? (Greasergrrl’s Surprise Machine)

- Maeve floats with Nick Lowe again, 18 years later, and — even though the music is timeless — feels a little old. (Bitzen Pieces)
