why is this stupid fucking site called returntothepit.com when theres NO PICTURES OF THE FUCKING PIT, goddamit nobody took pictures of people moshing, you guys are miserable failures at life
[Jun 18,2006 1:23am - everpessimistnow ""]
there does appear to be an excess of smoke in these shots, man thats rough.
and as for pitting, when i saw Slayer with Pantera (also at the Tsongas), there seemed to be good pits about 20 feet behind me, but i was pressed against the barricades (which had tiny holes in them, providing a fanFuckenTastic cheese grating effect). but i dunno if you would be able to get a decent photograph of them ;-)
hmm sounds like a rough night, still wish i could have gone though, but i had to work. gay.
[Jun 18,2006 1:48am - the_reverend ""]
this site is also about posting things about having anal sex with dudes.
that is also considered "returning to the pit".
from where I was there was no way to shoot the mosh pit. that's another problem with arena shows.
[Jun 18,2006 1:51am - the_reverend ""]
thine eyes bleed: I've heard several CDs from them (well 2). but this is the first time I've seen them playing. At NEHMF, I was excited to see them, but they canceled. their songs are long so they only got to play 5 songs, but I'm sure the slayer crowd was happy to get the metalcore band out of the way. I'm sure that they would have been much better with out a barricade.
[Jun 18,2006 2:17am - the_reverend ""]
mastodon: these guys have gone really far since playing at exit 23. funny just how many people realize how inovative these guys are. so one of the guitar players has a little sampler. That played a bunch of clips and drum tracks. one of the samples was about "brown" vampires who can only be killed with a steak the color of white skin. I wonder if that's a new track since I didn't know it. bet warner bros will love that! People seemed to know them cause the crowd surfing picked up when their set started. Also, after the first 5 tracks, they announced the title of the last track "blood & trunder" and got a huge cheer from the crowd.
[Jun 18,2006 2:23am - the_reverend ""]
children of bodom: unless I missed the memo, I find it weird that an indie label band played after a major label band. I knew at once that the lighting would be much better for alexi. I always think he's a princess so the lighting would have to be nice and bright. Which it was. During their set, for some unknown reason, crowd surfers did a hi-five line down the front row. I would have found that annoying being in the front row. They played 6 songs all of which used the word "fuck" in a similar way (usual about giving or not giving it). The keyboard dude sat back at the cabs playing. He looked bored when he wasn't playing, but then alexi would run back there and act all cheesey with him. he spent a lot more time flipping his hair than he did flipping the goat off. Speaking of middle fingers, for their last song, they asked everyone to put up their middle fingers. Most of the audience was confused and put up the horns. Not the same meaning at all.
[Jun 18,2006 2:24am - RichHorror ""]
I would have no problem flipping off COB, and would probably have been doing so long before he made a request.

slayer was amazing. awesome set.
SILENT SCREAM!!!
[Jun 18,2006 3:02am - the_reverend ""]
lamb of god: honestly, this band has some seriously great dudes in it. they are all wicked nice and randy, even though he's typically wicked drunk, has an awesome memory for people. the 2nd to last time I was here @ the tsongas arena, I saw LOG headlining last year's SOTU. the house lights went out, but they took probably another 15 minutes to come out. Randy was sporting the bruce willis style. at some point, during their 5th song, randy sent it out to all the mass bands, brain fair (shadows fall) came out and yelled something. people cheered. They asked all the girls to turn around and show the sound guy they tits, but this isn't meathead fest so no one did.

from what I observed this "no pictures of the pit" situation can be remedied pretty easily.
1. Make sure you're built like a hefty bag full of salt pork. if not, gain 100 lbs.
2. Take your shirt off
3. Stop around like you're one of the Bushwackers. Flail your arms around in a manner that makes no sense. If there's anyone smaller than you in the room shove them on the ground. Act like you own the whole Tsongas Arena despite having found out about Slayer 2 years ago through a Hot Topic sampler cd.
4. Take a fucking picture of it. Ass.
There are no "you guys". There is 1 guy - The Rev - who takes pictures at 2 or 3 shows a week (all over New England), hosts a radio show, and runs a website all in his spare time and with more or less his own money. If you're unhappy with the area one guy at a huge show like that was able to cover, maybe you should donate some money to get the RTTP photo blimp built so he can get some arial shots of you rubbing up against shirtless men.
you're welcome for the free education.

listen retard, there are PLENTY of pics of people moshing on here...since you have no clue of how things work at "LARGE" shows, you know, shows at big venues like the tsongas arena, there are a lot of rules when it comes to taking photos...first of all, you're only allowed to take photos for the first 3 songs if every band..then you have to put your equipment away and stand in a particular spot. if you look at the randomshots, you will see people and a lot of crowd shots, but since you're not allowed to walk around with your camera you can't go into the crowd.
so read and get a clue because you call a site stupid you ignorant piece of crap. the reverend spends a lot of time and money on this site so show somew fuckin respect
[Jun 18,2006 9:00am - Kevord not logged in ""]
If he took pit shots all they would have been were guys standing around with there arms folded in there brand new Dimebag Darrel and Trivium shirts. I didn't even see anyone singing along to Angel of Death besides me. Last night was the worst Slayer crowd ever.

Cool show last night but Slayer's set was to short.This is the only time Ive seen them play for less than 90 minutes.Thats disapointing since I paid $50 for a ticket.The only opener I caught was Lamb of God and they sucked balls.Heres Slayer's setlist(not in exact order):
Silent Scream
Cult
Disciple
Raining Blood
Angel of Death
Mandatory Suicide
Hell Awaits
South of Heaven
Antichrist
Blood Red
War Ensemble
Dead skin mask
Chemical Warfare
Seasons in the Abyss
Im really hoping when Slayer tour here again they play with better bands and have lower ticket prices.Because if they dont,I wont be seeing them.
[Jun 18,2006 10:58am - chris_from_shit_fuck ""]
I would have gone just to hear Slayer's set list. At eveyr show I've been yelling out "Antichrist" and "Blood Red". Those are 2 of my favorite songs. I think other than "Disciple" (which isn't too bad of a song in my opinion) and "Cult" (ehh?) that was a damn good set list, though I wish they'd play more off of Show No Mercy.
[Jun 18,2006 11:05am - Kinslayer ""]

I'd like to say this was the worst crowd I've ever seen. They left the house lights off for like 7 or 8 minutes at the end giving people ample time to scream for an encore, and no one did. I mean even if we weren't getting one...at least try you red hat wearing nu metal faggots.
[Jun 18,2006 12:42pm - Boppsta ""]
did anyone get a high five from that big happy guy with the red football jersey? he was fucking metal, no lie. i saw him runnin through the slayer pit giving hugs and high fives. I hope i see him at more shows, it makes me happy.
Lamb of God rocked hard.

uh, hugs and high fives, and expecially football jerseys, aren't metal.

Maybe that's because Slayer are faggots that haven't been good for at least a decade and should be killed.

And since when do people leave when Slayer says they're done? Just about every Slayer show I've ever been to up to this one Slayer says they're done, everyone stays and goes nuts and they come out and play another song or two. Everybody just got up and left like they'd been dismissed.

The best part of watching the crowd was seeing that big dude with the beard from the Palladium ruin people. Other than that it was a lot of dudes who obviously had no idea who Slayer was, and would have reponded the same way if you had played Methods of Mayhem over the PA.

Oh but Lamb of Gay who played the same shitty song 80 times everyone was losing their fucking mind. There were a gaggle of 8 year olds behind me daring each other to go into the WALL OF DEATH, kid. I wanted to die.

I was running from one end of the pit to the other no problem. I was drunk off my ass cause I drank $5.00 beers during all the opening bands. Every other time I've seen slayer the floor was extremely violent. Last night it was like Nickelback was playing. I actually had a guy with no shirt on tell me to calm down cause I was singing and thrashing around.
[Jun 18,2006 1:03pm - pam ""]
We had a fun crowd watching game. It was called Where's The Albino? It works like where's waldo, only takes much less effort. He was spinkicking it up during LoGay bringing the xalbinocorex.

I was eating popcorn during "Mandatory Suicide" and "Seasons In The Abyss", but at least I was standing up.

I moshed plenty at Slayer gigs when I was a teen. I reserve my right to be old now.

I'm old too. But I couldn't just sit down during Slayer.

I'm not sure I've ever been in the situation where I had the option to sit down for Slayer.

You could have taken a nap on the floor during Slayer last night.
[Jun 18,2006 4:58pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""]
Why, did the show undersell?
[Jun 18,2006 5:01pm - kevord ""]
The place was packed. But the energy level during Slayer was nonexistent. I talked to a kid a know who's a fan of Lamb of God and he said the crowd was really into them. I think it's just a case of Slayer not being mainstream enough and real Slayer fans didn't want to pay over $50 for a ticket. Which is too bad cause they did put on a good show and there stage set up was the best they've ever had.

i remember seeing mastadon at exit 23. there we probably 75 people tops. everyone else was standing outside waiting for the red chord i think. i never would've imagined they would get so big. they were fucking amazing then and they are amazing now

Actually, I'll just post their setlist
Silent Night, Bodom Night from Hatebreeder
Needled 24/7 from Hatecrew Deathroll
In Your Face from Are You Dead Yet
Angels Don't Kill from Hatecrew Death Roll
Living Dead Beat from Are You Dead Yet
Hate Me! from Follow The Reaper
Downfall from Hatebreeder

I just threw up seven times. They didn't even play the sole Children of Boredom song which I do not hate.

the_reverend said:lamb of god: honestly, this band has some seriously great dudes in it. they are all wicked nice and randy, even though he's typically wicked drunk, has an awesome memory for people. the 2nd to last time I was here @ the tsongas arena, I saw LOG headlining last year's SOTU. the house lights went out, but they took probably another 15 minutes to come out. Randy was sporting the bruce willis style. at some point, during their 5th song, randy sent it out to all the mass bands, brain fair (shadows fall) came out and yelled something. people cheered. They asked all the girls to turn around and show the sound guy they tits, but this isn't meathead fest so no one did.
He yelled the "Destroyer of senses" line in 11th Hour. :ralphie:

the_reverend said:mastodon: these guys have gone really far since playing at exit 23. funny just how many people realize how inovative these guys are. so one of the guitar players has a little sampler. That played a bunch of clips and drum tracks. one of the samples was about "brown" vampires who can only be killed with a steak the color of white skin. I wonder if that's a new track since I didn't know it. bet warner bros will love that! People seemed to know them cause the crowd surfing picked up when their set started. Also, after the first 5 tracks, they announced the title of the last track "blood & trunder" and got a huge cheer from the crowd.
they really played at Exit 23? When was that?

I won't ever go see Slayer again until Mandatory Suicide, Dead Skin Mask, and Season in the Abyss are dropped from the set.
They are as bad as Black Sabbath at playing their most played-out material.
I've seen Slayer like 11 times over the last 15 years and those songs ALWAYS get played. Boring boring boring.

They could stand to drop Dead Skin Mask, and Seasons in the Abyss is the most boring song to hear live ever. Watching poser kids stomp around during the chorus to Seasons gets old fast. I wouldn't hold football practice to Electric Funeral so why mosh to one of the slowest songs Slayer ever wrote. Mandatory Suicide is a must though.

is it realllllllllllly that important to you how i go to watch a band? does me being squashed against a guardrail or me sitting in a chair really change the fact that i still shelled out my cash to come out and support a band? no it doesnt, we enjoyed a band in 2 seperate ways... This isn't some little middle school bullshit were your not 'metal' because you didn't head bang while sitting in a chair, as long as you show up and support who gives a shit how you do it?
relax chief i'm just busting your balls. you could make an omlette during Slayer and it wouldn't ruin my day.

I think I've heard the only stuff I care to hear on that setlist (besides Silent Night, I don't think they played that when I saw them). Didn't they have a cool headlining setlist last time they came around? I forget what I heard about it.
