NEMHF never does that. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:25pm - Yeti ""] Cannibal Corpse and Dimmu will be cool, Satyricon gah i want to see them but i hate the new stuff, and thats all they will play. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:26pm - GoatCatalyst ""] five bucks says "The Devil Wears Prada" is the gayest thing since pederasty i refuse to give half-a-second's fair chance to a band with a name like that |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:26pm - dreadkill ""] GoatCatalyst said:five bucks says "The Devil Wears Prada" is the gayest thing since pederasty i refuse to give half-a-second's fair chance to a band with a name like that the devil wears prada is gayer than having two cocks in your mouth. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:28pm - SacreligionNLI ""] not gayer than having three? |
| ______________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:28pm - Yeti ""] have you ever seen the movie? i'll bet the band is as fucking gay as the movie. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:29pm - dreadkill ""] it's gayer than that, but i imagine you need an abnormally large mouth to fit 3 in there, unless you prefer the irish and the asians. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:29pm - SacreligionNLI ""] you've seen the movie?! you're out of the band |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:30pm - SacreligionNLI ""] dreadkill said:it's gayer than that, but i imagine you need an abnormally large mouth to fit 3 in there, unless you prefer the irish and the asians. 3 is definitely gayer, just because of the commitment one would have to make |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:30pm - dreadkill ""] SacreligionNLI said:you've seen the movie?! you're out of the band ha |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:30pm - dreadkill ""] you sacreligion fellas going to metal thursday this week? |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:32pm - SacreligionNLI ""] i'm pretty sure i'll be there as i get paid that day...it hasn't really been discussed though |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:35pm - dreadkill ""] we will drink the beer |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:42pm - SacreligionNLI ""] nice is there a reason why dimmu isn't on that list anymore? |
| __________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:44pm - mortalis ""] hallows eve might be cool to see, but i'd have to check out their 05 release first. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 1:44pm - SacreligionNLI ""] ^^^nevermind...they're just not in the bold print dreadkill said:we will drink the beer and smoke the pot. i get this amazing stuff now that can knock even the experienced smoker on their ass in one good rip |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 2:18pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] These are 2 of the best: [img] [img] NE is one of the worst! |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 2:22pm - HailAtWork ""] I'd have to sit thru too much crap to see Kylesa |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 2:40pm - VILE WHORE ""] COME ON MAN lets get some different shit on this fest for christ sake! I've been to every single fest since the beginning....I don't complain... I have fun....but this is pathetic....yeah some good bands but the good ones play every fucking year and the bad ones get worse and worse. If I had a bullet I would make the devil wears prada my Valentine and shoot them all for singing sad songs about how much they hate their ex girlfriends and wish they would love them again. The only plus side to this festival is that there will be no line at the bar. The Palladium better get a baby changing station and stock up on Coca Cola. They should put a sign out side with one of those lines that says you must be this tall to enter. when was the last time many of these bands came around.... Vile, Aborted, God Dethroned (its metalblade's anniversary right?), Deeds of Flesh, Aeon, Monstrosity, Dismember, Servere Torture, Malevolent Creation, Die Alone, Abysmal Torment, Amon Amarth, Blood Red Throne, Bloodbath, Mortal Decay, Decapitated, Decrepit Birth, The Yattering, Vader, Spawn of Possession, Napalm Death, Sinister, Myrkskog, Leng Tch'e, Gorerotted, Dying Fetus, FUCKING FLESHCRAWL come on man!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! |
| __________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 2:44pm - Archaeon ""] this is the worst line up yet |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 2:46pm - eat things ""] NEW ENGLAND SOCCER AND DAYCARE FESTIVAL...HERE I COME!!! |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 2:55pm - i_am_not_logged_in ""] Lizzy Borden and Hallows Eve should be cool...wouldn't mind catching all of Cellador's set this time...Nachtmystium will kick ass as well. Other than that I've seen basically all the bands I care about. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 2:56pm - MadOakDevin ""] i haven't been in years. i'm not into support commercial metal. though, i'd like to see PsyOpus and Kylesa. I've been waiting to see Kylesa forever since I missed them at the Elk's Show. Hopefully, they'll hit boston soon. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 2:57pm - Archaeon ""] does Satyricon play any old shit live? |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 3:01pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Cellador is pretty schweet... they blow fuckin Dragonforce out of the water fo'shizzle. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 5:05pm - Kevord ""] I still think the first year was the best year. It was all down hill after this. [img] |
| ______________________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 5:09pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Wow, I guess they finally got the exterminator to come by the Palladium and flush out Arch Enemy. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 5:20pm - the_Network ""] agreed, any show with Non Compos on it was the best! |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 5:27pm - xanonymousx ""] so i'm guessing bury your dead[whyyyy] and unearth are headlining? |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 5:29pm - GoatCatalyst ""] red tide. tee hee. my old band, crossthread played that without me (some school shit if i remember correctly), though they aren't listed on the flyer. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 26,2007 5:31pm - pam ""] First year fucking ruled! I got fed to the meat grinder. There's actually a few bands on here I want to see, and a few I've already seen 100 times but whatever...don't mind seeing them again. After all, wouldn't want to go more than two months without seeing Goatwhore at the Palladium! |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 5:31pm - xanonymousx ""] saturday wins. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 26,2007 5:33pm - pam ""] I can't wait to count the crooked hats watching Job for a Cowboy. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 26,2007 5:43pm - xanonymousx ""] i saw them a few weeks backkkk i don't understand how many people are into them. the funniest thing was seeing all the 13 year old's mom upstairs in the corner with a pillow over her ear. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 26,2007 5:45pm - pam ""] "But they're BROOOOOOOTAAALL, Mom! I GOTTA GO!!! Jeff's parents are taking HIIIIIMM." |
