I must say, they sounded awesome. the vocals were so much better than at metal fest or the ashland show. they must have turned up the br00tal in a major way! |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 3:28pm - SacreligionNLI ""] you can't run sound at a metal show unless you have a br00tal knob on your mixer |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 3:50pm - the_reverend ""] I've already seen seen W3, dave (ts drummer), adam & zack (goratory), and... I'm not sure who else. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 3:51pm - SacreligionNLI ""] id totally be there if it were easier to manage |
| __________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 3:55pm - brian_dc ""] Cav will be there...he somehow got a free ticket. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 4:14pm - the_reverend ""] it is so fucking hot here it's unbelievable. I've already drank down 2 bottles of wanted. horse the band: 20minutes this was the first band that I got take pictures of. The keyboardist said he messed up a song at the last show (where they forgot their banner). I liked their live set at hellfest better cause the stage was lower, they were all in pink shorts with sweat bands. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 5:37pm - the_reverend ""] ok.. tony, big al, joy, most of COA. and so many more people that I'm stopping the list now. I'm completely gwar soaked. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 5:49pm - the_reverend ""] chariot, the: 20minutes they had played a new song and had a new guitarist I think. I actually thought the singer was a different guy until he started moving around and throwing the mix stand up as high as he could. they sounded awesome. behemoth: 20minutes ok, how odd was it with thechariot introducing them. Funny one might say. Their set was br00tal, but they didn't had the normal "punch you in the face" loud sound. They normally have. I think it's cause this place doesn't have a cieling. I saw one of the guitarists walking around minutes before their set with no corpse paint on. He much be like superman with that. just hops in the grim phone booth and springs right out in full ash-covered glory. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 14,2006 6:02pm - moran ""] Any idea when GWAR goes on? I have two free tickets and they are the only reason I want to go. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 6:11pm - niccolai ""] What was the chariots new song like, Aaron? |

I have two free tickets and they are the only reason I want to go. gwar wouldn't be the ONLY reason I would go, but definitly the main reason. Aaron, take TONS of Gwar shots please!!!!! |
| __________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 6:20pm - succubus ""] Gwar played...cc is playing their last song now. Too late guys. Aaron did take a lot of gwar pics..I'll link myne too |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 6:36pm - the_reverend ""] the new chariot song sounded like... norma jean. black dahlia murder, the: 20minutes sponsored by jager now. They tossed out some prizes into the crowd. I thing the prizes were in beach balls. they sounded awesome as well. I don't think trevor went out into the crowd at all like he usually does. terror: 20minutes since the set was so short, so the usual vogel speeches were cut down to only one where he shouted out coiln, converge and a bunch of other bands/people from the area. I missed all there jumpshots, but at the end, scott went out into the crowd. This got a lot of kids to croud surf. And I truly mean a lot. This was the first band that had security people running each direction. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 7:29pm - vomitthesoul ""] Did CC sound good? How long did they play for? |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 7:58pm - the_reverend ""] I'm posting set times as the show goes. give me some time... converge: 25minutes I heard that they didn't go over well on previous shows (odd cause I thought they were only playing this one show). I can't believe it. Yes, it's hard for music that is in you face and personal to translate on to a stage. there are few bands that I would can "institutions", but since I'm from the merrimack valley, this band is. I can't speak for other shows, but here they hit it and the crowd was into it. The sound was as good for them as the rest of the bands. I spent the first 3 songs running back and forth through the photo-pit following jake and then watching him and nate fight when their chords got tangled. Right as I was getting shuffled out of the pit, they clicked into you fail me. There were very few songs that I just stood and watched and this was one of them. don't quiz me on the 6-ish songs they played, but they played something off jane doe, you fail me, and I think vultures. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 8:51pm - the_reverend ""] gwar: 35minutes in a cause of kill-song-kill-song-kill-song-kill-song-kill-song, gwar ripped through a cop, the nazi pope,some #1 fan dude, GWB, and a t-rex. Their bush killing was a lot different this time. He wasn't nailed down. They killed him standing up and running around, no jump rope and it went into bring back the bomb. they ended with some summer song that was a cover and I can't remember what it was. They didn't seem to spray that much stuff. I think they were having their typical SOTU technical difficulties. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 9:12pm - the_reverend ""] cannibal corpse: 30minutes - it was very odd seeing corpse grinder out in the day light. I won't go into details, but light is not cc's friend. besides that, they sounded in top form. Some of the songs they played were fucked with a knife. Make them suffer. and Strippped raped and strangled. What pissed me off about their set is that there were a bunch of hot topic shoppers yelling for them to get off the stage, lame. |

The people around me were diggin CC, It was awesome, it was cool that they played old shit. And not 100 percent Kill stuff |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 9:27pm - the_reverend ""] they played devoured by vermin too. trivium: 30minutes - the singer seemed pissed for most of their set. He couldn't hear anything through his monitor. They played flawlessly and got the crowd chanting, surfing and circle pitting. I watch the crowd swirl around like a tornado on a little monitor during their set. Under the stage there is a monitor to a video camera on the stage. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 9:28pm - the_reverend ""] in flames: 35minutes - they definitly knew the audience they were going to play for tonight, pulling a bunch of songs off the sing-songy cd, reroute. the light show started up during their set and they had a buch of color light stands on the stage. andres mentioned the palladium and sent the last song out to a guy who lost a dear friend and was really moved by that song when they played it at the palladium. |
| ________________________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 9:31pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] converge also played a new song off their upcoming record "No Heroes" short kinda reminded me of the first song off of Empty Skies. also they ended their set with the first song off of Jane Doe. great set, Nate's bass sound was retardedly loud like skull shaking loud. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 9:36pm - chris_from_shit_fuck ""] Just got back, saw and talked to aaron for a little bit. Sunburnt to fuck on my back. Behemoth = Awesome Cannibal Corpse = Awesome Black Dahlia Murder = Awesome GWAR = Awesome In Flames, was one of the worst musical experiences I've had. They only played songs off the last 3 albums, which are 3 of their worst in my opinion. It'd be so much better if they played some shit off of the first two full lengths, but that'll never happen again. |

Light is not CC's friend? Whats the difference if they play a show at night or in the day? I dont get it |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 10:37pm - the_reverend ""] it's a simpsons quote. as i lay dying:45minutes - it took longer than it should have to get them on the stage so some stage crew guy crossed off at least one song off their set list. they had so much light! Of course it was all behind them and they had it aimed directly into my camera. They played some tracks that I know and was actually even able to sing along. since forever, they've ended with forever. this time too. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 11:06pm - contagion ""] me and tony paid 40 to see CC, behemoth, and BDM. horse the band and the chariot are the 2 shittiest bands ive ever seen. gwar was funny as hell. behemoth is the greatest live band ever. that bass drum should come with a warning to pregnant people and those with pacemakers. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 11:07pm - contagion ""] btw where are the pictures? |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 12:47am - the_reverend ""] working on them now. just got in the door. route 1 was a parking lot. |
| _________________________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 12:49am - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] did kelli get the cd |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 12:56am - Josh_hates_you ""] contagion said:that bass drum should come with a warning to pregnant people and those with pacemakers. yeah they turn the kick up to 10 for behemoth but last time they where around with krisiun.......holy shit the kick for krisiun was insanely loud. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 1:15am - the_reverend ""] yes. email and remind her about it. the singer of gwar has a "DELL" strap in his arm pit. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 1:18am - the_reverend ""] oh I took something short of 1800.. so it's take me a while to delete all the shitty ones. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 1:45am - the_reverend ""] pictures will be uploading in a minute they are processing right now. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 1:52am - TheGreatSpaldino ""] hahaha my brother went to this show. i only wanted to see CC |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 2:14am - dwellingsickness ""] I would have loved to see Gwar..That is about it though |

The song they coverd was probably alice coopers schools out for summer. I know they recorded it and have it for download on thier site. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 2:56am - the_reverend ""] yes, that is it |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 7:53am - anonymous ""] alot of people got to see this show for free.... people brought chairs and were just sitting on the other side of the fence |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 10:30am - sphincter ""] seems like i missed a good show. I don't give a shit about as i lay dying, behemoth(sound too much like nile who also sux)inflames, killswitch, or trivium. But i would of gone to see cc, bdm, gwar, terror, and horse the band |
| ______________________________ [Jul 15,2006 10:31am - cav ""] any idea how many songs KSE did after numbered days?? the dude i was with was bugging me to leave during their set so i left after that. |

Corpsegrinder should have jumped off the stage and busted some skulls. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 11:01am - anonymous ""] CORPSE killed everyone. their sound was so much more articulate than anyone else who played. they stood out as professionals amidst a sea of children. BDM was sick, BEHEMOTH was sick but somehow in the outdoors, the subtleties of their sound did get lost. on a side note, the pits were fucking anemic.... im so fucking tired of all these massholes. these fucking "yeah dude," types who love their homoginzed bullshit ass metal core. IN FLAMES MUST DIE! |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 12:09pm - sphincter ""] it seems like the hot topic shoppers get into a certain band that band goes downhill. It happened to cradle of filth(though i still like em unless thornography sux) Now its happening to in flamers and as i lay whining |

I think with them it was the face that a lot of the frequencies just went off into the sky. |

| _________________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 1:20pm - SacreligionNLI ""] did they play holy diver? haha |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 1:27pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""] yes |
| __________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 1:45pm - succubus ""] yeah i told him that he forgot the KSE review... about the gwar prep..i did no such thing myself because i wasn't in the modd..but i still took pics..i just sent them to the paper...i'll post my links soon |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 2:13pm - the_reverend ""] I know that I didn't write or post it. killswitch engage: they opened with last seranade I think. it was so damn dark there. I shot 3-4 songs and then had to leave as they started when darkness falls. that is it. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 15,2006 7:22pm - mullet ""] Holy Diver by Killswitch was amazing |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 14,2006 3:53pm - anonymous ""] CC sounded like crap(i dont mind them, i just dont think it sounded good), the chariot were a bunch of faggots...im the guy that caught the water bottle in mid air and threw it back...i almost cried during their set...not cuz i was sad, because it sucked so much...all else was amazing |
| __________________________________ [Dec 31,2006 9:50pm - krystie ""] Had an awesome day but I do NOT want to hear about how hot it was, because I was 7 months pregnant when I was there! haha what.a.day |
