are you serious?
[Apr 22,2010 7:24pm - boblovesmusic ""]
That's fuckin awesome!
[Apr 22,2010 7:28pm - MetalThursday ""]
Yeah. I can't promise twirly guitars though. Actually I can't even promise to be at this show, since it's a week after my son is supposed to be born.
[Apr 22,2010 7:30pm - boblovesmusic ""]
bring him along!
[Apr 22,2010 7:32pm - boblovesmusic ""]
just curious, Mantic Ritual contacted you about playing right?
[Apr 22,2010 7:35pm - MetalThursday ""]
Wrong.
[Apr 22,2010 7:39pm - boblovesmusic ""]
then what is right? haha
[Apr 22,2010 7:40pm - boblovesmusic ""]
I mentioned to one of the dudes in Mantic Ritual about Metal Thursday at one point hehe
[Apr 22,2010 7:42pm - MetalThursday ""]
They were recently added to the Rattlehead/Hexen tour for the east coast dates.
[Apr 22,2010 7:42pm - boblovesmusic ""]
still, very cool!
[Apr 22,2010 7:54pm - boblovesmusic ""]
on an unrelated note, I've been listening to a ton of Despoilment!

[Jul 22,2010 12:41pm - Yeti ""]
yeah i'll check this out, i though Mantic Ritual was boring as fuck when they played with Marduk, but i'm interested to see Hexen.
[Jul 22,2010 1:09pm - MetalThursday ""]
Also Rattlehead and a 60 minute set from Armory
[Jul 22,2010 11:36pm - the_reverend ""]
ive been fighting with my phone all night trying to get it up to post, but i cant seem to get it up. this show shreds so far. no moshing, but more than well attended by a lot of people i have never seen before.
[Jul 22,2010 11:43pm - arilliusbm ""]
I'd be here if I wasn't still at work
[Jul 22,2010 11:57pm - the_reverend ""]
Hexen went on and it was exactly the band I thoughht it was. They ruled and the CD is an awesome CD. Anyone who didn't buy that CD is dumb. The CD is even better than they were live. Also, testament cover with no one moshing? For shame. During their set, the singer said 'thank you for being you' and someone from the audience yelled back "I am not me!"
Rattlehead. Was good too. I didn't know them but I enjoyed it.
The first thing I noticed about mantic ritual was the new drummer. They still did well with the fill in. I think most people here were taken by surprise because mantic ritual set up so fast.
[Jul 23,2010 2:19am - MetalThursday ""]
Show fucking ruled.

Awesome show!!... not so awesome night after. I was going to eat at the Kenmore with some of the touring bands, but the Kenmore was closed. We went to Denny's, but they didn't want to wait forever. I went to the McDonald's down the street, and some guy backed right into my car in the drive-thru and dented my bumper. 3 guys got out of the car and wanted me to pull over to a dark, sketchy part of the parking lot. I refused, told him to give me his insurance info right there, and he totally flipped out, swearing in Spanish, throwing stuff at my car, and acting like he wanted to fight me. They drove away after I called the cops. He was dumb enough to write his full name on the back of a Scaphism flyer, and I got his license plate number. Apparently, he was driving with a revoked license... sucks to be him.
Thanks to whoever left that flyer on my car. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had anything for that scumbag to write on.

Before anyone else says it... He dun goofed up.

glad we could help haha. Tom left it there.
Hexen was amazing, one of the best performances i've ever seen at a Metal Thursday. too bad they opened, they would have killed it in a headlining spot. They were so unbelievably tight, everything was crystal clear. too bad they live in California, i'd love to see them again soon.

That was Rattlehead. I missed Hexen, I'm pretty sure. And that was me that yelled that (Gee, don't know how you didn't piece that together.)
[Jul 23,2010 3:15pm - the_reverend ""]
I saw BloodeyeBetty there and it took me 15 minutes to remember why I would know who she is.
[Jul 23,2010 3:38pm - arilliusbm ""]
BEB was there? LOL
[Jul 23,2010 3:40pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
she goes to most Metal Thursdays.
[Jul 23,2010 3:42pm - arilliusbm ""]
I know, I can't wait to shart in her face.
[Jul 23,2010 3:50pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
somehow i doubt that will happen

I just can't believe no one talked loudly about joe christianni.
[Jul 23,2010 3:54pm - arilliusbm ""]
have more faith. we could always set up the ol diarrhea balloons. Exlax, half diarrhea, half water + balloon. Disgusting, I know. But a potent weapon.

Of all the things to compare me to, a ballerina would be the absolute last thing that would ever cross my mind. But thanks. That statement will supply me with major lulz every time I get in the pit with Dan from now on!

Obviously I'm joshing, tommy. Not sure if you really took it literal or if you SM meter is turned off.

So much alcohol consumed at this show.. Rattlehead and Hexen crashed on my floor afterwards, good dudes.. had the most unsatisfying mcdonalds breakfast menu meal ever at 4am after a failed attempt at the kenmore.
[Jul 23,2010 11:13pm - arilliusbm ""]
good ol' nick

isn't that a temp for satan?
[Jul 24,2010 1:57pm - s.axl.bakula ""]
It looks like there were actually people at the show this time. Are people finally going to Ralphs?
[Jul 24,2010 4:44pm - MetalThursday ""]
I think your band played on 2 pretty slow nights, once in 2006 and once in early 2008, but yeah, things have gotten consistently better. Although there were shows that far back that did just fine too.
[Jul 24,2010 5:30pm - ValkyrieScreams ""]
^^^yup
been a lot of busy nights this month in particular
[Jul 24,2010 5:33pm - boblovesmusic ""]
also more people are discovering Metal Thursday and becoming regulars.
[Jul 24,2010 5:41pm - ValkyrieScreams ""]
that's true.
the crowd has definitely gone through some changes over the years, but there's a core group of people who have been there since the beginning to keep it thriving. its been cool watching it grow.
[Jul 24,2010 5:54pm - arilliusbm ""]
I wish I've been to more, but it's definitely grown since the 1st one Ive went to. Nice venue, always a pleasure attending. My only complaint that I live a ways from woostah =(
[Jul 24,2010 7:55pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
also teh crowd doesnt start the mosh until drunkeness and crazy dan arrive.
[Jul 24,2010 8:14pm - ValkyrieScreams ""]
crazy dan makes an almost empty floor feel full
