| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 4:56pm - the_reverend ""] yes and it was on the concert page. I'm at the DCU center walking arounf. This place is filled with a pluthora of people that probably haven't left their parents basement since the last rock and shock last year, ho-geared goths, and the macabre metal horror scum of the earth (said as a complement). There are tons of booths with horror actors, actresses, writers, directors, and probably extras. A lot of the other booths are any think from jeremy saffer doing horror makeup to dvd distros (traums's here) to tattooing to the nightmare before time dolls. There is a guy here dressed as a leatherface type character, some guys in tiolfoil gwar outfits, but I have yet to see the obligatory bride dripping with blood. I'm about to walk around and take pictures yet I have no clue what to file them under... Randomshots just might not be the right place.. So I may label them "rock and shock". Still deciding. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 5:26pm - SacreligionNLI ""] i was supposed to be a stage zombie for the deadites...that kinda fell through would've been damn hilarious IT'S MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!! |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 6:11pm - anonymous ""] is it any cheaper for tickets at the door if you dont go to the convention? |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 6:38pm - the_reverend ""] I think it's $29 today $49 for a 2 day pass. It's $14 tonight for just the show and probably $14-20 tomorrow. no one in the box office knew for tomorrow night. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 6:43pm - the_reverend ""] the DCU center part would have been cooler if I had got to watch the movies. anyone realing this who is going to that I took some pictures of george ramerez, one of the gwar dude out of costume, and Ashley Laurence (Kirsty in the hellraiser movies. Hellraiser was the first gore movie I saw beyond the jason/freddy franchise). zombie apocalypse: they were much better this time. That's definitly the guitarist from shai hulud in this band. They have two singers. One of them kept getting off the stage only to realize that his mic chord was mega short. Mensrea: they had some good parts, but over all were kind of like devildriver. The crowd really seemed to like them there was a lot of mosh, but the singer never came down into the crowd. I have a feeling this band was/will be a jager band. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 7:30pm - the_reverend ""] a dozen furies: they ran around A LOT. I swear they were like a freaking wireless technology's ad campaign or something. For some reason, they flipped the crowd off like a million times and spat at each other a lot. I like their CD (except the clean singing) so they were pretty good live, when I wasn't dodging lungies. The crowd here is werid... Normally, I know or recognize a large number of the kids in the crowd... But I'm guess this is cause people I know will only be here for gwar/turbonegro. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 8:05pm - the_reverend ""] deadites, the: welll, I knew that I didn't like them... I'd heard a CD that I didn't care about. I think they did a bunch of covers... Not really positive on that one.. Jeremy said they cover oingo boingo. I heard a violent femmes songs. |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 8:07pm - the_reverend ""] so the deadites seemed to be ultra uber super duper hated by the crowd. Their set was a volley of middle fingers and chants from the crowd. It was painfully hilarious to watch since their music is an electro-train wreck. Besides "i think they like us" the singer said "i will rape you" and "i will fuck you face" to one member of the audience. someone in the crowd then tossed a 1/2 full trash can over the barricade. This is the first time that security had to come down to keep people from rushing the stage and killing the band. I think they ended the set early, with the singers outro of the song "i started a joke... Blahblhblah" and then called everyone faggots. I think one of the keyboardishs snagged his keys and bolted before the set was over so he woudnt get yanked by people in the crowd. one of the weirderest palladium scenes ever. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 8:13pm - succubus ""] Syliva told me that they presented romero with a guitar that one of the tattoo artists airbrushed..did you get pics of that aaron? It was on stage at the palladiumm I forget the time she said that they did it...btwn 5 and 6... |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 8:44pm - the_reverend ""] um.. I got here at 5:20 and didn't see and thing like that |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 9:00pm - the_reverend ""] early man: after that deadites debocle, they came and "got things on the right track". Sounding a lot like megadeth, they did bring it back. It was pretty decent music. They seemed a bit anal, tuning for a super long time and tuning in between most songs. I've never heard their CDs, but I have a feeling that I would find them boring. I guess we'll see. Oh, they are from new york. |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 9:02pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Ugh, I wanna see TURBONEGRO but I haven't been up long and it sucks so much out! |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 9:34pm - the_reverend ""] yep. turbonegro in like 40 minutes. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 9:35pm - the_reverend ""] yep. turbonegro in like 40 minutes. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 9:35pm - the_reverend ""] damn it, my phone is being gay. I need to fix that bug |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 10:48pm - the_reverend ""] devildriver: ok.. Do I cry now? My best pictures of the night and its from devil driver?!? did they just say they have a song called grimfuck? this is the first time I've seen them arund here and the drummer wasn't wearing a SBC shirt. I'm wondering how long til dez mentions the fact that the guitar player was from mass. Whoah... Just as I typed that he said that everyone but him is from mass... I'm thinking mass is die kindergarten von Metalgrouppe im Wald. Like you aren't a creditble band unless you have a member from mass. He's now introducing the "home town mother fuckers". The one good thing is that the music is up so loud that you can't hear the vocals. damn... The kick drum is hitting so hard and is turned up so loud that everything is rattling in this venue. |
| __________________________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 11:01pm - heavy metal milf hunter ""] it is just 15$ if you just want to go to the convention part |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 11:05pm - the_reverend ""] I believe so. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 11:29pm - the_reverend ""] this really is allages there are 12 year olds in the front. turbonegro: ok, I know I have yet to see judas priest live, but this is the most overtly gay think I have ever witnessed in my life. They talked about your bestfriend turning to you and coming out of the closet. They also have more make on themselves than the entire front row or a bleeding through show. The music is pretty good. their set started off with a midget coming out dressed like the singer. The singer got the crowd to say "i want to be wasted again" in norweigan... They also threw out tons of $1,$2, and $3 with the band members faces on them. They also talked about cannibal holocaust and that it's a real documentary. and the grand finaly? ballons. lots and lots of ranbow colord balloons. |

| __________________________________________ [Oct 8,2005 11:44pm - davefromthegrave ""] first opeth had devildriver opening, and now Gwar? I remember when they went on tour with goatwhore, now that was a fucking lineup. |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 1:14am - intricateprocess ""] dude turbonegro was fucking intense tonight |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 1:21am - the_reverend ""] soaked and sliding all over the roads heading home |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 2:50am - the_reverend ""] ok, I'm home.. that was a wicked long drive home. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 3:28am - the_reverend ""] pictures will be uploading in a second. after that the random shots from the DCU center |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 4:11am - paradigmdream ""] that was one hell of a show. you got a few pics of me up in the front =) i decided to crowdsurf on gwars last song and some asswipe grabbed my wang and squeezed it as hard as posible, i thought it was going to fall off |
| ______________________________ [Oct 9,2005 4:13am - moran ""] DCU thing was kinda weak. Drank in my car till Turbonegro went on. First time hearing/seeing them, like them a lot. Had a little Gwar singalong with Dave Brockie before they went on, up there on the "coolest moments of my life" list. Gwar fucking owned. One of the best sets they've put together. Hearing Baby Raper and Wharghoul live is fucking outstanding. Driving in that weather is horrible, especially whith a lot of Jager in you. Awesome fucking night. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 4:13am - SickSickSicks ""] TURBONEGRO WAS TOTAL DOMINATION!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A SET! my only real complaint was no "Good HEad" and no "Denim Demon" |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 4:49am - the_reverend ""] there was a pickle pinching line? I'm mad that I missed that one. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 8:42am - JayTUS nli ""] You're just picking up on the fact that Matt Fox from Shai Hulud is in Zombie Apocalypse? LOL, their bassist was in Shai Hulud too... it's also Ronen from The Hostage, Dellon from Shallow Water Grave, and Greg from The Risk Taken... no idea who the drummer is... |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 8:43am - JayTUS nli ""] Oh and this picture is amazing: http://www.returntothepit.com/media.php?id...4217&date=oct082005&pic=gwar044.jpg |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 10:51am - the_reverend ""] I only saw them once before and wasn't paying close enough attention. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 11:24am - anonymous ""] the guitar player for mensrea is wearing a locus factor shirt i didnt even know they had shirts kris norris and darkest hour are the shit |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 11:41am - rupturedzine ""] I was supposed to get in last night but the guestlist was fucked and I got DENIED. After over an hour of driving. I hate the Palladium. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 9,2005 12:35pm - anonymous ""] dude that happened to me at darkest hour in july i showed them the email and they still said no... but i saw their bass player and he and their tour manager hooked me up with a teeshirt they are the best guys ever...... anyways how come gwar always distracts the security from doing their job.. haha |
