How fucking depressing is the Boston metal scene[views:9424][posts:47]_________________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 8:25am - MILITIANARY NLI ""] I cant knock people for setting up shows and having no one show up because its more then ive ever done for the scene. but its not even that, when i go to shows now everyone looks like they dont want to be there,or like they want to kill themselves. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 8:54am - anonymous ""] go to better shows |
| __________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 8:59am - Al_Ravage ""] it was never like that at Sydneys...man, that was the best place to play....just ask Joe Notcommon |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 8:59am - ATNFAC_Vokillz ""] ive never run into that problem. everyone is usually very friendly to each other,and generally enthusiastic, even for the bands they dont like. |

That probably has more to do with life in general than any show. Yes -- my misery has everything to do with my job and nothing to do with shows, music, my crappy band, etc. |
| ____________________________ [Dec 1,2005 9:29am - pv ""] The metal scene is a lot better now than it was about 5 years ago, everything was controlled by metalcore fags. At least now you can get a show even if your not on hydrahead or sucking the kenmore agencys cocks |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 9:33am - pamistoolazytologin ""] I actually have only played 4 shows with my band and every one of them has been incredible. I think shows we kinda crappy for a few years but lately I've had a pretty good time. and I totally love the ballz |
| __________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 9:35am - dreadkill ""] i usually have fun when i'm at my band's shows and other local shows. it's the big shows that i don't really like going to anymore. |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 9:37am - pamistoolazytologin ""] I like big shows but that's only thanks to my incredible ability to pretend that there is no one else around. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 9:39am - dreadkill ""] i have trouble blocking out all the goons i see at big shows now. usually the main reason i don't like going anymore is because there's always 4 or 5 shitty bands and 1 good band. i remember the ratio being a bit better in the past. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 9:40am - dreadkill ""] plus the only big bands i like that come around here are bands i've seen a billion times. the rest never tour the US. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 9:43am - BornSoVile ""] i don't know what yer talking about, being at shows makes me happy as hell. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 9:50am - jonathondavis ""] hey pam what band are you in |

| _________________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 9:55am - MILITIANARY NLI ""] dont get me wrong alot of the bands kick ass from Boston there just isnt enough people going to shows. and it totally sucks that there isnt any all ages venues |

[img] *whistles off into the distance* p.s. as far as all ages goes...it didn't get any better than the espresso bar in worcester kids went to that place every weekend regardless of who was playing just to have a good time now everyone would rather get drunk or snort heroin in their mom's basement...or complain about how no one understand's why they dye their hair black and wear it in front of their make-up caked eyes |

| _________________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 5:48pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Does this thread really have to keep happening? Also, nothing against that Jan. 20 show, but N. Grafton isn't Boston. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 5:51pm - MarkKevorkian ""] here's the problem too many shows, by too many bands, at too many nameless clubs, on too many weaknights |

| __________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 6:11pm - dreadkill ""] this thread should be transplanted to the bay state rock board. all people ever do on that board is start threads about how the "scene sucks" or "there's no unity in the scene" or the "scene is dying." these threads get old fast. |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 6:30pm - SacreligionNLI ""] yeah they do...this show is gonna rule if you can't leave boston for a show then that sucks for you |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 7:55pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] If it is depressing it's because everything has become a popularity contest and not even remotely about music anymore. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 8:26pm - Anthony nli ""] these complaint threads have become really boring. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 9:02pm - pam nli ""] I have no complaints |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 10:08pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Fuck all of you and your "now-a-day's" scene complaints. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2005 10:19pm - KeithMutiny ""] listen, i already heard glory days today on WZLX, dont need too hear it again. |

Sydneys was ALL about the music Beakey and I were talking about the time he broke that wireless mic unit at Sydneys and by the end of the night the price he owed had more then tripled. |
