| ________________________________ [Nov 14,2004 4:15pm - retzam ""] I'll probably just go whatever night Cryptopsy headline, and if they don't headline a night, then I will burn the Palladium down. |

| ________________________________ [Nov 14,2004 5:04pm - JayTUS ""] Yeah when I heard about the Hypocrisy tour I figured it would be at Metalfest. Is it an all day thing again? |

| ________________________________ [Nov 14,2004 6:49pm - JayTUS ""] I love Metalfest. If I end up moving to Florida I am still coming up for it. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 14,2004 6:54pm - Wraithious ""] Sounds like it should be better than last year's fest, I'll most likly bew there. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 14,2004 7:38pm - Batboy ""] I too will have to go to this fagfest just to see King Diamond. I hope they do that thing where you can buy a headliner ticket only. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 14,2004 7:41pm - moran ""] King Diamond is worth sitting through it. |

| ________________________________ [Nov 14,2004 8:41pm - retzam ""] Wait... it's November, isn't it a little early to be planning this.... and also, the fest always falls in May, and Cryptopsy said they're touring in February and March. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 14,2004 8:43pm - Kalopsia ""] what ever happened to the New Jersey Metal and Hardcore Fest???? |
| ________________________________ [Nov 14,2004 8:45pm - retzam ""] Too many good bands played, so no one went. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 8:13am - lynneaus ""] NJ wont happen again. this years fest is looking to be a lot more metal... and when u people hear some of the bands playing.,... im guessing a bunch of you will be there for a lot more than just King Diamond |
| _________________________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 8:20am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] oh what the fuck... I've been emailing those dudes for MONTHS to no reply, asking if it's too early to submit a demo or something. And then they go and start booking it solid! Yeesh! damn it. Anyone know contact info for this event? |
| _________________________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 8:22am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] meaning contact they reply to. I already have gay contact that they ignore, apparently. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 8:28am - Joe/NotCommon ""] send your demo to Scott Lee at red rocket records |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 9:09am - dirteecrayon ""] lets hope for no blackouts this time --- bwahahahahaha |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 9:12am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I hope Lynneaus is telling the truth. King Diamond though, I will be going no matter what. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 15,2004 10:04am - nate ""] Joe/NotCommon said:send your demo to Scott Lee at red rocket records that never works, I've sent him recordings for 3 or 4 years now and he never even so much as says fuck off... |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 10:05am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Yeah but thats the only thing you can do, I think he will only put on bands he knows and likes. I'd say trying to get on it is pointless. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 15,2004 10:14am - nate ""] yeah but it doesn't hurt to try I guess, regardless of how shitty it is the exposure is decent... like they say any press is good press, even if they say you suck the fact is, they mentioned you and you get the exposure. I've already got a new pack ready for the mofo so we'll see what happens this year! |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 10:20am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Yeah, I am trying to get Raising Kubrick on it this year. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 10:29am - the_reverend ""] here's the deal, scott lee is super super busy all the time. so mailing him cds and calling doesn't always work. here's the "best way" to get a band on NEMHF... buddy up with a band that does and can get shows at the fat cat through them. that's sort of what scott does to choose the local acts. it's from the bands that play the "minor leagues" at the fat cat. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 10:31am - dreadkill ""] i went to nj metalfest and it was good, way better than last year's new england metalcore and hardcore fest. they should do away with metalfest. it is getting gayer every year and the good bands who'd normally get headlining slots if their tour stopped here at a different time are getting 20 or 30 min sets half the time. king diamond better be the top headliner and play for more than an hour. |

Some bands don't want to buddy up with snooty metalcore bands though, they would rather just play with other snooty metal bands. |

| ________________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 10:33am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Stephanie is on it, I actually don't do any of the work for my label. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 10:40am - Josh_Martin ""] I hate when a tour I might go see ends up as part of a festival. The ticket price gets doubled and all you get for it is 25 shitty opening bands. I liked the first year when they actually got bands that weren't just coming through on tour and I finally got to see Manowar. Taking 2 or 3 package tours and calling it a festival just seems half-assed to me. A good festival should have something major that you can't see anywhere else. I went to Milwaukee in 1998. They flew in Sodom, Destruction, Mayhem. Impaled Nazarene, and Emperor (pre-homosexuality). It was also Death's first show back together, Suffocation's last show, Brutal Truth's last U.S show, AND the one band that actually was on a full tour, Mercyful Fate, didn't play New England. Now that's how you do a fucking festival. Obviously Massconcerts couldn't pull something off on that scale but they should do SOMETHING to make it special. |

| __________________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 12:25pm - kellthevalkyrie ""] If good bands > sucky bands, I will be there. |

Based on the history of the past 4 years, everyone's bitching is completely warranted. If you want it to stop, give a reason. I just hate it when someone says they know something and then won't say what they know. What is the point of that? |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 1:31pm - dreadkill ""] last year's new england metal and hardcore fest was by far the worst show i have ever been to. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 1:37pm - lynneaus ""] i had fun last year.... anyone that didnt have fun during the blackout just put no effort into it... i hung out with so many people.... it was the 2004 version of heavy metal parkinglot... except there was less coke and more musicians from the bands playing hanging out |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 2:03pm - the_reverend ""] last year was the weakest link, musically as far as NEMHF go. hell, the people putting on the show even knew that. this year looks really really good so far... |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 3:10pm - kellthevalkyrie ""] I hope it's really good. I'd like to go again. Everytime I've gone to this fest I've had a blast...but I haven't been in a few years. I only go if there are enough bands that I like. You know, cause I'm poor. Must spend ticket money wisely. |
| _______________________________________________ [Nov 15,2004 3:35pm - coldnorthernvengeance ""] What's the line up? |
| ______________________________ [Nov 15,2004 4:00pm - blue ""] i miss the nj mhf from last november. one of the best times ive ever had. |
