Doesn't look even remotely close to sold out. Said ticket #168 when I went to tickets.com (Not that I'd actually BUY a ticket like that, just a good check to see how much they've sold...at least I think, I don't know if the numbers are entirely random and arbitrary)

3 pm seems to be the most used time for this show to start, so i guess i'll believe that. i'll probably be there at 3:30 or so. i haven't been to the palladium in a loooong ass time, so i'm not sure if they still do this, but will there be separate lines for those who have tickets and those who don't? and if i've got tickets at will-call, which line would i have to be in?

those who dont have tickets go up to the ticket booth inside and buy them and then cut people with tickets in line.
people with tickets get angry when people without tickets cut them.
that's generally how it goes down.
[Jul 5,2007 10:48pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""]
but what if i have purchased tickets and they are held at will-call? technically that means i have tickets. i guess i'll have to find out tomorrow.
[Jul 5,2007 11:46pm - Uh ""]
Does anyone at least know the order of the bill?
[Jul 5,2007 11:49pm - vomittingcarcass ""]
that means your part of group 6-c, who cuts everyone, goes through the door, and wait in line behind 3-5 people at t'e tiny window inside where its cash only every other show that starts with 'S'. Once you have paid cash, or maybe winked to let the guy use your debit card as a Discover card, he gives you 'THE TICKET' then you look for the shortest line to tear your ticket, cut in front of the people being molested, get molested, then you pass. UNLESS, you look like a guy they kicked out earlier, at which point you will be questioned and fucked with to see if you are too drunk.
[Jul 6,2007 12:02am - MarkFuckingRichards ""]

Necrophagist only gets an hour? LAME
At least my plan to get there at 6-ish skips Ion Dissonance. Unfortunately it means I may catch some of As Blood Runs Black.

[Jul 6,2007 3:06pm - GoatOfCatalyst ""]
no probs. load up your distro with some extra hateful filthy black shit, metal merchant! and did i give you an ipsissimus demo yet?
[Jul 6,2007 3:15pm - the_reverend ""]
traffic and parking is in-fucking-sane. the entire center of the town is blocked off. the center where I always park that is.
[Jul 6,2007 3:36pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""]
The distro is staying home.
No demo yet, bring me one.
[Jul 6,2007 4:20pm - the_reverend ""]
me either, jerk.
I saw ryan adams on the guestlist. what an ass.
[Jul 6,2007 4:24pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""]
Put John Dwyer +1 on there!
[Jul 6,2007 4:25pm - the_reverend ""]
I'm down in the front now.
zircon: ran in and caught them. People said they only had one song left, but they were able to do a couple more. I was totally surprised at all the people there that early to see them/idn. Idk who the new guitarist was. He needs long hair to fit in.
in dire need: they pulled off the big stage by joey constantly being in/on/at the crowd. They had plenty of people jumping up from the crowd. Ryan jumped down for the last song too. They had sooo many people in the crowd singing along for them..er.. More like "OOOOOOOUUUUR"ing along for them. with all the running around, you would have thought that joey would have gone through a million mics, but he only killed one chord so they gave him the short chord.
[Jul 6,2007 4:49pm - the_reverend ""]
oopies.. I almost posted that again.
[Jul 6,2007 4:57pm - the_reverend ""]
beneath the massacre: the singer is so massive. It probably helps the band cause they with out their instruments, people would probably think they were wiggers. Their music is a beautiful composition of the brutal and technical. I'm still stunned that they pulled it off with only one guitar. I noticed that the bass-player picks up a lot of the rhythm parts. They have been on tour since the show they played here in April. The singer claimed his voice was getting horse from in. I don't believe him. If it ever went out, he could scare it back
[Jul 6,2007 5:38pm - the_reverend ""]
ion dissonance: who the hell is that on vocals? It looks like kevin leary or that guy formerly of TTEOTD. Sounds a lot different. The new singer had a lot better english skills. He acted like this was his band (though his voice was sort of horse) so I'm going assume that he's been in it for a while. I was sort of distracted by that the whole set. Anyone want to shed some light?
[Jul 6,2007 5:39pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
hey rev? still tix avail for this
[Jul 6,2007 5:45pm - the_reverend ""]
I would say yes looking at the size of the crowd. it might be 1/2 to 2/3 full.
[Jul 6,2007 6:22pm - the_reverend ""]
ok, I asked and ion d's had that new singer since november.
as blood runs black: they had to put in a whole new drumset for them so it took up probably all of arsis's set to do that and sound check it. This band completely looks like the most random dudes you could find just decided to start a band together. When I didn't see the bass player, I figured he would come out looking like roid rage carrot top. As they got into their set, it didn't remind me of black dahlia at all (no sarcasm). Their last song, my fear is phobias or whatever and they sounded NOTHING AT ALL LIKE BDM (sarcasm). It was like they were doing a BDM song and the singer acted a lot like trevor. The guitarist that did most of the running melodic riffs continually jumped down to the audience. but their set wasn't that bad none the less.
[Jul 6,2007 8:16pm - the_reverend ""]
faceless, the: very good and very humble. It seems like the keyboardist does more with their sound. Or maybe I could just hear it more. Not sure. They are still deathcore-y, but I think I will like them on CD.
cattle decapitation: they were set up, but then they walked off the stage and it started to smell like cephalic carnage (if you get my drift). After about 5-10 of the longest minutes ever, they started up. One of the bouncers here leaned over to me and said "that dude is gross", pointing at travis (the singer). For the entire set, he was his usual mucus and water bubbler. The whole floor in front of him was a collection of spewage and dribblets. I too an insane about of pictures of these dudes. I actually had a purpose though (this time at least) for an AD. They ended with karma bloody karma instead of the recapitation of the cattle.

[Jul 6,2007 10:13pm - the_reverend ""]
cephalic carnage: wow, even their songs of the metalcore album killed. The new bassist/back up singer screams like jason used to in dying fetus, leaving the singer with nothing to do for a lot of the newer songs. With an energy level that is through the roof, I should never expect anything less from these dudes. they also shouted out al and goratory.
decapitated: wowwie wowwie wow wow! they were so good. The last time they played the palladium blew goats. This time they totally redeemed themselves. Everything was perfect. Well.. They are still short one guitarist, but besides that, I couldn't have been happiest (though playing the complete nihility lp wouldn't have hurt). during their set, people from all the other bands were on the side of the stand and some of them dove off into the crowd. Decapitated's tour manager threw water in my face :(.
[Jul 7,2007 12:35am - FuckIsMySignature ""]
fucking badass show. first time seeing alot of those bands. i think i temporarily decapitated myself during Decapitated's set. still pissed that Arsis was a no show however.
[Jul 7,2007 12:55am - FleshFries ""]
i wish decapitated had a longer set...they deserve it completely
[Jul 7,2007 1:14am - the_reverend ""]
decapitated got a perfect amount of time.
[Jul 7,2007 1:22am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""]
As Blood Runs Black lost their drummer who was the only good part of that band. What a shame.
[Jul 7,2007 1:26am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""]
Also, I'm curious to know: Was Beneath The Massacre's drummer as nasty live as he sounds on record?
[Jul 7,2007 1:30am - the_reverend ""]
one of the drummers played kind of slow and sloppy... I'll have to look at pictures to see if it's him. my pictures are processing soooooo friggin slowly.
[Jul 7,2007 1:57am - MarkFuckingRichards ""]
this was definitely a sick show. i missed zircon and idn, but i'm sure i'll catch them on a million other shows.
beneath the massacre was fucking awesome, and yes their drummer played as tight live as on the CD. they all did, but the sound in palladium didn't do justice to them of course. same with ion dissonance; i'm not a huge ID fan, but it would have been cool to actually hear what they were doing. i'm glad i was outside for as blood runs black, because they suck. the faceless always play tight as hell but the sound their destroyed them; another band falls victim to the palladium. cattle decap was pretty good, but waaay better when they played good times last june.
cephalic carnage and decapitated stole the fucking show. one of the guitarists in the faceless had told me that decapitated left all their money in a hotel room in quebec, so when they were halfway to the palladium they had to turn back around. everyone said they were most likely not playing, so i was fucking bummed since i had never gotten a chance to see them before, but then there they were setting up on stage. their set was fucking amazing, and the pits for them were fucking RIDICULOUS! i wish they played one more song, but i was quite happy.
this was my first time seeing necrophagist, and it was awesome. i feel like i couldn't appreciate it 100% since i was tired, hungry, had to shit and my feet felt like they were going to explode, but they were awesome none the less.
very nice meeting hung to bleed for the first time, and i saw a shitload of people there i haven't seen in a while.
and what made this night even better was the $300 speeding ticket i got on the way home! woooo! foiled once again.
