I think this needs to be said[views:20862][posts:117]__________________________________ [Jul 8,2004 2:28pm - Paul FOD ""] hardcore turned gay when people made it that way. I like metal better always have. Its simple its just better music, but some hardcore is damn good too. Unfortunatly hardcore kids are DICKS. I have no problem with mixing bands in shows thats how it should be. There are plenty of metal kids who "dance". Ever seen Dying fetus or ES at the pallidium? Very brutal up there. Shit diecast used to play with all kinds of brutal bands. In NYC, kids kill each other to metal bands. Mixing bands is the way to get other people into the music. Whatever i mean at this point i dont give a fuck and id rather see a metal band then a hardcore band any day personally. Its just not that fun going to a hardcore show because you get these fake ass crews that are all a bunch of fashoncore fags who cant fight. Going to a hardcore show is just a big fight. Almost everyone hates everyone and there are always problems. I think if people drop the pisspoor attitude then maybe just maybe all extreme generes can play together and everyone can get along. |

On top of hating the attitude of modern hardcore, I also hate the way it sounds. I have no idea who those bands are you think people should put onto metal shows. I've booked bands who blend metal and hardcore together, but wouldn't necesarilly call metalcore. If those bands are good then they can send me music just like all the other bands who want to play shows I book. And as far as going to a concert over a show, burnt by the sun would be playing in a larger place that moshing wouldn't be a problem at because people who don't like it can stay in the back or to the side or whatever. If you mosh at a show however, it's rather unavoidable, especially with hardcore fans. I don't care if I am coming across as an asshole, hardcore is lame every single way you look at it and I don't care who knows that I know. I also saw BBTS (who brought in a lot of hxc fans) w/ today is the day (who brought the metal fans) back at genos in maine when i was 16 and there were about 30 people there. people still danced at had a good time. no one bitched about one person or the other. again, i wasn't talking about your shows, so i'm unsure why you took it so personally. I made sure to point out the fact that i wasn't talking about your shows. I'm just saying quit fucking bitching about one another because we all have alot of things in fucking common. (again i'm not talking about asshole hardcore kids and metal kids, but i am speaking of the hardcore bands who appreciate metal and everyone and everyone at a show) like i can very easily see invocation of nehek getting on a show with metal bands, or the network, or screams of erida and causing no problems (yes you can argue those have metal riffs and suck but they're still for the most part hxc kids and involved in the hxc scene) there are alot of bands in the hxc scene that don't have douchebag fans that I thought would fit very well on a show with metal bands and it wouldn't cause a problem what so ever. that's all i'm trying to say. as gay as it sounds this is a time when unity is very needed in the scene. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 8,2004 5:41pm - armageddonday ""] Well, I think part of the problem is also the people who book shows. A lot of times you end up with 2 or 3 shows the same night, a touring bands show (not really flexible with the date) and then 2 locals show, who really doesn't need to be happening the same night. Even if it's not the same style there's always cross draw. For example, on the 25 of June, there was 4 shows in Providence: Forca Macabra/Voetsek (on tour) at AS220 - 128 people paid Insted/Mental/Verse (I don't know if tour or not) - 160 or so paid Red Chord / and others (on tour) at the Green Room - 120 or so paid Throne Of Hate and some others at Safari Lounge - 30 people or so. It looks like it doesn't cross draw, well it seriously did. The Forca Macabra show would have sold out. And the Red Chord show would have too, but that was mostly 3 shows with touring bands. Another perfect example is the upcoming August 9th show. Terence is bringing a great death metal tour in Worcester with garanty and all, we have a skate thrash show in town (wont cross draw except for me), and then Bane Of Existence is playing too. No offence, but Terence booked that tour ages ago, so why does B.O.E. have to play a show the same night? I'm really psyched to see death metal tours being booked by someone else than Mass Concerts, and in a way we should all be, yet we all manage to fuck each other up. |

I can name plenty of bands hardcore and metal that get discouraged when there isn't crowd movement. I know a ton of bands who feel taht the kids out in the pit are showing their respect for the band's music and it makes the band feel happy. I also know metalcore bands that think dancing is gay and don't want that shit happening when they play. it all depends on the band. I say if the bands telling the place to move do it the fuck up and if they are trying to get kids to stop dancing... then cut it out. it's pretty simple. attendmyrequiem i think you might have misunderstood what bojern meant. if he's thinking the same thing i am, it's not that the crowd should not move at all and just watch the band. i think he was responding to my post when i said there are some hardcore dickheads who try to make themselves the center of attention by clearing room so everyone can watch that one guy dance, and that's fucking stupid |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 9,2004 1:54pm - armageddonday ""] Joe, I don't think it's a bad idea to sit down and talk about the booking thing. We don't have to all work together but I think it would be good if you don't screw up on tours. My goal is too bring metal (I said METAL) in RI and MA, bottom line. I'm not booking for money, I'm doing that for passion and to see shows, cause without shows I would be dead by now. We just have to work all together if we want bands to come around here without going through MASS Concert. I mean, M.C. can get the big tours, obviously. But we could really handle shows like the Grave show (that was pathetic), etc. My problem with M.C. is that they always have to stick metalcore bands with deathmetal tours just because they draw more, why don't give a fucking chance to the local deathmetal bands? |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 9,2004 3:29pm - armageddonday ""] That's cool....I don't read every post on this board so I didn't really see your other posts about this matter. It's still all local bands though, and seriously Terence booked that show in March. I'm not attacking you here, it's really just a observation, this shit happens all the time. I just believe we should be more careful when we book local shows that's it. |

I just believe we should be more careful when we book local shows that's it. I agree with this guy. There is alot of comeptition for shows which is good, but it also makes it harder on everyone went there are 4 shows in one day. Usually the weekends. It doesnt help that the number of places metal bands can play at is shrinking by the day. But if we organize the weekend shows better it can only strengthen the overall draw of every show. Cant hurt. |
| _________________________________________________ [Jul 9,2004 4:28pm - The Taste Of Cigarettes ""] that's kind of a negative factor, though 1) most of us are really the "freest" on weekends and are looking to use that time to play with our bands as we earn money to pay for our equipment and merch during the week at jobs. so we use the weekends to gig. Plus that's when you are most likely to get an audience for the same reasons (plus friday is pay-day) 2) if we just wait around for 3-4 promoters to book us we'll never play shows. bottom line. we have to have 5 different shows because we're doing these shows for ourselves because, as local bands that don't yet have a major following, we can't seem to get promoters interested. they go "never heard of you" or wait till they have a show where they can squeeze you next to other bands that do have a following that might mince well with you. 3) if jim or bob or ricky or rachel wants to do a show, they should be able to and not have to defer to the guy who booked the big touring band. It's unfortunate that touring bands lose money this way, but it's also even more unfortunate when local bands and local promoters can't do a show because they have to contest with darkest hour or dying fetus, bands they couldn't possibly book due to lack of money or lack of connections. What good is it to have lots of touring bands in an area and a local scene that is chocked dead? Local music is really vital to a community, arguably more so than national music. Even if a local band never makes it out of town they can have a big impact on the scene there. I'm not agreeing with anyone in particular. These are just my views. I would feel bad if local bands couldn't play a certain night cause they didn't want to draw away from a big band that has a guaranteed draw...I mean the underdog should get a chance too. Last time I did a show the same night as this band that was from Spain I did my show earlier and told everyone at the show I did to go check out the band from Spain at the other show and even offered rides there. That is a good civil middle ground. but yeah I DO think it's lame when there's 8 shows at once...like I was gonna go see I, Destroyer on Sunday but then heard about Darkest Hour...how does one pick? In the end I decided that (though it's cancelled now) I would go to the Safari Lounge show because I could support the local RI scene better that way, and see The Nightmare Continues. I tend to like local music and smaller bands better than big bands anyway. |
| _________________________________________________ [Jul 9,2004 4:32pm - The Taste Of Cigarettes ""] or another middle ground is for the promoters to, yeah like anne said, talk to one another and maybe have the bands that need help get on the same show as the touring band, or vice versa. Or have the touring band play two shows in one night at different times. Like something to hybridize. |

| ________________________________ [Jul 12,2004 4:25pm - xmikex ""] This whole thread is crap. Metal kids are gay crybabies that think they're tough. And "hardcore" is over run by metrosexual nerds that think they're tough. Im personally disgusted with the state of both. They're both consumed by lazy-asses, and douchebags who are too concerned with who/what is popular, how many different ways they can segregate and alienate others to make themselves feel elite, and ways to be smartasses on the internet instead of actually going to shows every weekend and living what they say. If there were half as many kids actually going to the shows (on BOTH sides) as there are on the internet bitching about things you pretend to care about, then it might not all be so pathetic. Metal kids: For a group of people that projects this hyper-masculine persona you certainly are quick to cry when a 90 lb kid throws a kick near you. I can't tell you how many metal kids I've seen get banged out over nothing, all because they had to go pick a fight with some kid they didn't know because he "moshed" a different way. Face it. You're nothing special. "Hardcore" kids: For a group of kids who are so into getting brass knuckle chest peices, taking livejournal pictures of yourselves holding guns, and memorizing Throwdown lyrics you certainly are quick to run, and cry when the bigger kids (who were around before you, and will be around after you) show up. I can't tell you how many times I've seen metrosexual douches act hard, and brag about fighting one minute, and then turn emo at the drop of a hat when someone else puts them on the floor. Face it, you're nothing special. |

Have you ever talked to any of the kids at shows? There is really not alot of hate there. Most of the kids know eachother and the shows that are just hardcore bands have few if any fights. The problem is when you mix bands and someone takes being hit personally. Hardcore is violent and kids want to dance. Exactly why they should stay segregated (sp?) Yes... I have no problem with hardcore in general or even metalcore, though there are verrrrry few metalcore bands I like, but frankly, metal shows are much better without dancing. I go to do some headbanging and maybe a little thrashing around with my friends, so I don't want that interfered with, just as I would not go to a hardcore show and headbang in the middle of the pit. One thing I do disagree with that seems to be prevalent in hardcore though is the idea that if you get hit on the edge of the pit, you aren't even supposed to give the person a shove back... Basically if you knock someone on their ass while throwing dropkicks and windmills, it's ok, but if the next time you run into the guy, he gives you a little push back into the pit, he might have to deal with your crew. It's more about who you know than a consistent code of behavior... And that's fine for hardcore shows if that's the way it is, but I think metal is just fine without this. |
