| ___________________________________ [Nov 6,2006 3:36pm - Kinslayer ""] Me and this little dude thrashed the whole show! [img] [img] |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 6,2006 3:37pm - Kinslayer ""] We have the same color hair! It's mini me! We're almost the same height too! |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 6,2006 3:44pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] That was a girl I think. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 6,2006 3:46pm - the_reverend ""] I was confused if it was a boy or a girl. there was a little girl headbanging too. she stopped 1/2way through psycho. this kid will be cooler than tenacious d character in the new movie. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 6,2006 3:48pm - Kinslayer ""] It was definitely a little dude; he had a sister thrashing for a while too that looked a lot like him... |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 6,2006 7:05pm - RichHorror ""] Those kids were rad. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 6,2006 7:09pm - the_reverend ""] almost as rad as that hip young dude who was really into municipal waste at that show. from what I remembered, he had a full head of hair. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 6,2006 7:13pm - RichHorror ""] That photographer had a double full head of hair the next night. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 6,2006 7:19pm - the_reverend ""] oh I remember that pair well! |

| ___________________________________________ [Nov 6,2006 8:51pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] It is always sweet to see younger kids getting into heavy music because then they will have the torch be passed to them when they reach our age. I just hope this whole metalcore scene won't become the next classic rock. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2006 9:34am - piledriver ""] Hotel? Ha ha ha!!! Dude, we were in Montreal at the Katecombes for last call-till-sunrise party action with Janick and her girls! No, sadly, we forgot about you HOURS before that...Ha ha ha!!! Some of you piss-ant punk/diy promoters are really something! We try to support the small time guys, and this is how we're treated... Robin, from before we even arrived you knew you were in breach of contract and you were scared shitless before we even pulled up to the venue... then you ran from us for three hours while we tried to work it out with you... (during which we went up the block to set up a gig at the Middle East, just in case we wouldn't be playing so we would still soon be serving it up soon for our Boston area fans) you heard third-hand exaggerated claims of our 'threats' which were nothing but quips and jokes in our internal band venting... we then chased you down as you yakked on your cell phone to say that if you could come up with $200 for gas n' shit, we would go on... but, no... you couldn't stay in one spot long enough to listen... you ran around like a headless chicken, calling the cops on us, for what... third-hand BULLSHIT??? Seriously, Robin! How many words were actually exchanged face to face between you and us??? Let's see... YOU:"There's no dressing-room... no-motel... no-money. US: "What? What? What? This is fucked, you signed a contract. We're going outside to discuss this". Mascara-Doughboy(and yeah... I know I'm the fattest of the fat... takes one to know one, ya know...): "Hey, you can't have ten names on the guest list" US: "Um, we don't have a guestlist... -grabbing sharpie and blotting out names- we don't know anyone in Boston... goddammit, where's ROBIN?" Again, we chased you around while you yakked on your cellphone, trying to tell you we'd play for $200 bucks gas money... then you're running up the freakin' block! Then you call the COPS and have us removed from the venue. What... doncha have a big brother to fight yer battles? Yer mommy perhaps? Our were they too busy making you a little sister to hand your clothes down to??? Now, in this very forum, after not being professional enough to honor your own signature in a business venture, let alone possessing the testosterone to man up and enter into civil discussion to arrive at a fair compromise to save the deal, not to mention saving face for your ownself, you DARE to make PUBLIC THREATS ("PILEDRIVER I'M COMING FOR YOU")... you shoulda been careful whatcha wished for cuz you got it, u lil' bitch!!! When I see you, we'll dance, I promise... ask anyone, I always back MY word with deed... and you've made it public... how could I deny? 'Twouldst be my pleasure my pretty little plaything to render you your fate... till next we meet!!!!!!! (n.b. ...pour les connaisseurs... on va passer vers Sherbrooke avec Eutanazia dans quelque semaines... vien, vien, on va jaser...) |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 13,2006 12:06pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Well, that SEEMED like a real explanation. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 13,2006 12:16pm - RichHorror ""] Letting this all die and be forgotten sounds like a pretty good and mature idea to me. Yep. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2006 1:08pm - piledriver ""] Ok, ok, ok... I should retract some of what I said there... 'Our' should be 'or'... the rest stands!!! See you in hell!!! |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2006 1:10pm - RichHorror ""] Alright. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2006 1:14pm - piledriver ""] pssst... au sous-sol de l'église St-Marc à Coaticook le 16 decembre avec Eutanazia... passe le mot... Hostie on va tripper en sale vous allez voir !! |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 13,2006 1:19pm - watchmaker666 ""] why anyone would promote shows is beyond me, I mean thanks to everyone who has ever booked us but why you put up with all this shit is beyond me. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 13,2006 2:17pm - Deathrasher ""] I waited over 20 years to see Piledriver and destructor and was fucked again. If it's true about the contract and whoever put the show on should of paid up. And there was no need to call the cops thats bad for the scene! You don't like what I say "FUCK OFF". LAST DAYS FOR THE WEAK. |
| _______________________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 1:48am - Coldnorthernvengeance ""] That is fucked but I can look passed it being that they are French |
| _______________________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 1:51am - Coldnorthernvengeance ""] Seriously, piledriver rule and this promoter could not even hear them out Total Bullshit who the fuck does Robin think she is |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 2:20am - Robin NLI ""] Haha no these guys sucked. They are so lucky I called the police which the club wanted me to do after I asked them what I should do with these guys that were making threats, please post my signature on any contract I have signed for this show, otherwise you can go fuck yourselves, I'll have my boys SUM 41 kick your fat asses. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 2:21am - Robin NLI ""] I book the middle East you turds have fun playing there. Or anywhere here safely. |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 2:22am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Coldnorthernvengeance said:who the fuck does Robin think she is Robin is a dude. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 2:23am - Robin NLI ""] Robin is a dude that is friends with alot of your friends. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 2:28am - Robin NLI ""] They can talk all the shit they want from Canada but who didn't get to play a show for being babies and having no fans. Prove a contract signature, and when you do I'll show the back of my credit card signature to match it up. Can't do it fatty Mcretarded. |

Hahahaha, I am shaking in my boot straps I would rather watch myself piss than play a gig under your name Boston can suck my Live free or Die dick Tossah |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 2:52am - Robin NLI ""] I was saying that to piledriver, I like your band. I'm in Defcon 4. Friends with Keith Bennet since 1988. Get your facts straight or believe a messageboard. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 3:02am - Robin NLI ""] Haha I know two of your bandmates. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 3:38am - BestialOnslaught ""] While I love PILEDRIVER and thought the show in Montreal last December was fucking great, there's a few important things to note here... This is also in response to the statement on the PILEDRIVER website about the show, someone can track it down if they like. I can't comment on the events themselves (police showing up, etc.), cause I arrived to the show later. - This is a band that barely had their albums distributed outside of Canada when they were released 20 years ago and didn't play a single show at the time. - Including the 12/2005 Montreal show, I believe this mini-tour makes for 4 total PILEDRIVER shows now completed? Correct me if I'm wrong... Also this new live lineup only contains 1 original member. - I don't have a clue of the exact number, but I'd guess that Robin has booked over 100 shows, or close to it at least. He had to dig into his own pocket to make sure HIRAX got paid properly last night, but the show was a success, and Katon and co. were just one of many really appreciative bands he's booked. - If you can't get more than 30 people to come to the Elks Lodge, how are you going to get booked at the Middle East? MUNICIPAL WASTE played the Elks to 350 or so people - another show booked by Robin - because, well... people care about them! I prefer PILEDRIVER, but the fact is, not very many people at all have even heard the name. - Robin's a fuckin' birdbrain, but it's all good. What it comes down to, all musical opinions and egos set aside, is that Robin knows how to book a show, puts his ass on the line financially, and has had repeated success in the process. PILEDRIVER either vastly overestimates their drawing power, has little clue about the live music business, or some combination of the two. DESTRUCTOR, on the other hand, showed that they understood real underground metal and seemed to enjoy playing for the 40 or 50 people that stuck around. They didn't bitch about the payout either, cause they probably understand that a 20 year old recently resurrected underground band is out of their minds to expect $600 and hotel rooms. |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 6:11am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Amen. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 7:52am - anonymous ""] Psycho played for beer or nothing at all and kicked all kinds of ass. |
| _______________________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 9:01am - Coldnorthernvengeance ""] Robin NLI said:I was saying that to piledriver, I like your band. I'm in Defcon 4. Friends with Keith Bennet since 1988. Get your facts straight or believe a messageboard. Damn, my bad |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 12:30pm - Robin NLI ""] haha |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 12:33pm - Robin NLI ""] Also to people considering me just as a promoter, this is the last thing on my to do list, the reason I book shows is to see the bands I like or to help locals get to play in front of different crowds, I think the most I ever made off a show once, was 500 at Municipal waste last time, but I never do this for the money ever. |
