New England Metal and Hardcore Festival[views:77968][posts:105]______________________________ [Feb 19,2007 3:16pm - Yeti ""] pam said:I have fun every year no matter how awful the lineup is. Tailgate BBQ/beer while the bad bands are playing...problem solved. tailgating wont be so easy this year, i dont know if you've been to the Palladium in the last year or so, but the gigantic parking lot adjacent to the building is now the massive new Worcester Courthouse. so that really leaves just the parking garages, with the exception of the one parking lot across the street, but i dont know if Worcester PD will be gay and monitor tailgating there. |

There is also no hardcore in this fest. They should just call it the Mall Metal & Overpriced T-Shirt Fest. yeah, there's never any real hardcore on this fest, just the crap people mislabel as hardcore nowadays. i'd actually respect the fest if it had real hardcore bands. If this fest had real hardcore bands, it sure as hell wouldn't be at the Palladium with all these sponsors! Types of bands playing this fest: Metalcore Emo metal Mall metal Washed-up hacks |

After 5 years of going to this fest and always saying "next year we will hopefully play this", looks like last year we were finally right. thats awesome... the second stage will never be the same. unless they throw you on the main stage. |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 3:38pm - porphyria ""] we'll probably never get on this, at least until we're signed to epic records or something. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 3:50pm - xanonymousx ""] you guys should get on this, you definitely have more talent then 90% of the bands that play it year after year. i think you have to get it in good with scott lee since you aren't signed though. LAME |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 3:54pm - porphyria ""] In the past we've attempted to contact him but never receive any sort of response. Even a simple "Fuck off!" would be acceptable! |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 3:55pm - the_reverend ""] you gotta play some shows at cabot st first. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 3:58pm - porphyria ""] the_reverend said:you gotta play some shows at cabot st first. We sent a message in attempt to get on the origin show at cabot st, once again, zero response. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 4:03pm - the_reverend ""] he's a busy dude. you gotta get in with another band that's playing there and get on the show cause of it. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 4:05pm - ~carina~ ""] I remember a while back aaron talking to scott and telling him about the_network and that they shoud play a show..i can't remember if he gave him a cd or what... |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 4:06pm - the_reverend ""] yes, I did |

I'll just continue getting into the fest for free and taking photos. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 4:33pm - ~carina~ ""] keep emailing him Tom! |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 4:50pm - xanonymousx ""] hey didn't ken from unearth record your e.p. for you? unearth plays the palladium a lot and is in with scott lee give him a call and see if he can help you out. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 4:52pm - porphyria ""] the last thing ken needs is for us to bother him by asking him to get us on shows at the palladium. haha. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 5:03pm - Murph nli ""] porphyria said:the last thing ken needs is for us to bother him by asking him to get us on shows at the palladium. haha. Do what I do when I want someone's help but are too bashful or courteous to ask. Get a friend, someone comfortable with getting a little weird, to take the person out for drinks, get em hammered, and take really risque and questionable photgraphs with them. So, instead of bothering him, it'll be more like blackmail. And nothing makes a quicker rise to the top of the food chain than blackmail. Git ya hands dirty, yo. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 19,2007 6:29pm - yummy ""] I guess that's what the Acacia Strain must have done to get him in their video |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 6:49pm - hungtableed ""] Metalfest has not been worth my $$ in a long time. The only reason why I went to one of the days (and only for a few hours) was for Necrophagist. At the time, I didn't really listen to them anymore I just had wanted to see them. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 8:16pm - SacreligionNLIE ""] Sacreligion's headlining the main stage on saturday. that's enough reason to go |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 9:11pm - JayTUS nli ""] Apiary is playing one of the days... |
| _________________________________ [Feb 19,2007 9:41pm - W3 nli ""] funny aaron, he wasnt too busy to call my phone and ask me if TS wanted to play that Origin show. |

Just haveing hardcore in the fucken name kills the whole thing for me. I say fuck all these mass bands that made this shit scean we have these days. Fucken shitfalls, killcrap i engage sexual intercourse with lil boys, and unberalble. Lets get fucen bands like goreatory, pillery, teratism, godless riseing, sexcrement to the top of our food chan and get noticed for somw real good fucken Death Metal. These bands are getting noiced but it could be a lot better if a lot of you fuckers opened up your eyes and started going to these shows. Street teaming it. We cant be stuck with this fag metalcore shit thats a dieing breed as we speake. Smarten up ppl. |

| _____________________________________ [Feb 20,2007 8:15am - RAZORGRIND ""] There is much to much bitching about metalfest lineups of the past and present. You should be lucky to have such a fest in your own backyard. It's a chance to get together, drink a ton of beer, and bang your head. I'd rather be at metalfest for a full weekend than in my living room wishing for a Carcass reunion that will never occur. There is a limited amount of time and space on this fest so all of your favorite bands will not all play. Here's an idea...you book a show and get bloodbath to play, I'm sure people will come. It's not as easy as your think. Solution... get ticket...go to show...drink beer....get rowdy...have fun. You need to get away from thinking that only bands that play in their parents basements for 7 friends have talent. If you could play in a band like Black Dahlia Murder, you would, but you can't. Let's see, a few bands that have played metalfest in the past: Suffocation reunion Obituary reunion Hypocrisy Hate Eternal Necrophagist Cannibal Corpse Deicide Cephalic Carnage Pig Destroyer Cryptopsy (with lord worm) The Haunted Immolation Origin skinless Dying Fetus Misery Index Meshuggah Behemoth Cattle Decapitation Superjoint Ritual Nile Severe Torture Deeds of Flesh ETC. So while your sitting at your local Elks Lodge trying to out underground each other on April 27 and 28th....I'll be at the Palladium, drunk and happy ... like every other New England Fest past. HORNS |

Yeah but it's really hard to enjoy yourself when all you hear is bands that sound like Atreyu or Trivium or Killswitch Engage crying and moaning while their bandmates jerk each other off. Bands like that aren't suitable for headbanging either. If you could play in a band like Black Dahlia Murder, you would, but you can't. Granted the guys in BDM are quite talented - If I had that kind of talent, I still wouldn't play in a band like that, I don't care if they play Ozzfest and make a ton of money. Ripping off "Slaughter..." era At the Gates and "Heartwork" era Carcass doesn't mean it's good.

Okay - so a FEW good bands have played the fest, but you always have to sit through a bunch of screamo kids whining about heartache and breakups and then sit through more xxXTUFFGUYXCOREXMOSHXxx garbage before someone like Deeds of Flesh takes the stage. By the way I counted 11 bands in that list that suck. So while your sitting at your local Elks Lodge trying to out underground each other on April 27 and 28th....I'll be at the Palladium, drunk and happy ... like every other New England Fest past. HORNS I'd rather be confined to my house where I can download good music, watch TV, and jerk off as much as I want than waste my time and money hanging out at the New England Hardcore and Screamo Festival. |

Bands like that aren't suitable for headbanging either. > Yes...those bands do suck... yes crying does suck...but I can still hang out and drink beer while I wait for the bands I want to see. It actually gives me a chance to get beers or fresh air at Irish Times without missing something good. <Granted the guys in BDM are quite talented - If I had that kind of talent, I still wouldn't play in a band like that, I don't care if they play Ozzfest and make a ton of money.

Extreme metal has always borrowed ideas from other metal bands. It's the nature of the beast. Sorry to break it to you, but I'm sure the bands you listen to didn't come up with everything on their own. <I'd rather be confined to my house where I can download good music, watch TV, and jerk off as much as I want than waste my time and money hanging out at the New England Hardcore and Screamo Festival.> Well...enjoy yourself sounds like a great weekend...I'm sure you'll have fun |

This thing got old faaast and this is the reason why. Same fucking bands every goddamn year. Hey lemme put on my swami turban and make a few more psychic predictions for who's playing this year's fest: The Acacia Strain, Pessimist, Bury Your Dead, Killswitch Engage (or the closest thing to it) some awful ass Lost Disciple band that nobody liked in 1999, 9 other bands that Scott Lee books every fucking week at Cabot Street, some miserableass Relapse band that nobody likes but they couldn't get a good Relapse band, and 2 bands that I really really want to see but won't be willing to put up $100 just to go see. |
