This is interesting. One of my friends was telling me last night how this was the worst band he's ever heard in his life. Now I know he wasn't lying.
[Jan 29,2008 9:49pm - yummy ""]
I've heard worse.
I listen to shitty music.
This sucks.

people seem to go dick ass crazy over this band
[Jan 29,2008 10:12pm - urinal turd ""]
i've heard worse as well. however, there are two really great bands on this bill that are definately worth seeing. i just wish i lived closer.

Hey, I'm happy to be playing this show. And there are plenty of things i do like about this band. But come on, Murph. You knew this was the reaction that would come from this place. And in no way does not liking Protest the Hero imply that he hates music...it's not like they're the be all, end all.
You suck at jokes and I want you dead
HUGZ!!!

Thanks for pointing out the obvious for me again, Bri. You're always there to clean up my messes.

I don't think anyone is shitting on DC for playing this show -- I've played plenty of shows with crappy bands. We were just offering our unwanted opinions on how much PTH sucks.

Actually, I think we get significantly less bashing than I thought we would since our time on this board.
And in no way am I sensitive. In fact, I didn't say anything about this show or us. Brian just sat behind the keyboard and started sweating thinking the end was imminent, because he wears glasses and we all know people who wear glasses care way too much. We've opened for some bands I've liked, and plenty that I thought were like hot garbage, and then some than carried the banner for "meh."
Now I'm gonna go put my mouth on something from this :swedenflag:

frrrrrt
[Jan 30,2008 1:22pm - cav nli ""]
when i saw them open up for trivium (yes i drove to worcester just to see them and left before trivium and whoever else played) everyone was trying to boo them off stage and the singer was talkin shit about kids in the crowd. it was pretty funny. i guess it comes with the territory of trying to shred at a metal show with a mostly emo sounding singer. but yea im definitely not surprized that most people on this board dont like pth. im absolutely stoked to be playing with them though
but i think everyone can agree that it was a good choice to open for them instead of the devil wears prada...hahahaha.[Jan 30,2008 5:24pm - Brandon nli ""]
I liked this band alot when i had their cd. Somone stole it and i havent heard the new stuff. And i disagree with people not liking the vocals. If the guy didnt sing i dont think i would like it. Although they shred its too metalcore sounding. The vocals kinda add sumthing.
The down side about them is, the dont sound good live. Ive watched a bunch of awful youtube videos from them. That kinda turned me off. Fun band tho on cd
[Jan 30,2008 8:19pm - cav ""]
yea i agree, i love the vocals but they arent too accurate live. the band is tight though.
[Jan 30,2008 8:49pm - mattbreen ""]
guess whos goingggggg! and guess whos gonna be freshly 21. yes me!
[Jan 31,2008 5:16am - secthammer ""]
i don't care what anyone says, pth is a damn good band, with damn solid musicianship and even though the singer sounds kinda emo he can sure as hell fucking sing

wow, for someone who talks about supporting the local scene so much i have to say nice job trying to to get people to not go to support 3 local bands on that show just because you have a problem with the bar. i know acariya and dour cursiva work very hard and its shitty of you to try and fuck them over.
[Feb 1,2008 8:22pm - yummy ""]
If you saw the amount of people at his show that he just had them play at you wouldn't be convinced he's fucking them over. All he said was gay bar.

YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT TO BRIGHT IF YOU THINK WE DONT SUPPORT THE LOCALS & THE SCENE. GET A CLUE & REALIZE THE DEGENERATE BOOKING HAS BEEN HERE FOR OVER 15 YEARS BETWEEN THE 2 OF US BOOKING SHOWS & WE'VE DONE NOTHING BUT PUT LOCALS ON EVERYONE OF OUR SHOWS. YEAH WE DONT SUPPORT LOCALS ...FUCK OFF ASSHOLE!!! GET A CLUE BEFORE YOU TALK SHIT ABOUT MY PARTNER & DEGENERATE BOOKING... WE ARE BACKED BY MANY & WILL CRUSH ALL THE OTHER PROMOTERS WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT....THATS WHY WE'VE BEEEN HERE FOR 15 YEARS & WE'LL CONTINUE TO BE HERE!!!

i will even be attending the sick of it all show .
maybe you can say hi mr. turd

i would love to go to the show but i live in vermont.
[Feb 3,2008 3:02pm - urinal turd ""]
and by the way, i don't doubt that you support the local scene. however, the fact that you post things in a local bands thread who you support to dissuade people from going to these bands shows because you don't support the business practices of the club that they are playing is shitty in my opinion. i don't think that any of these bands would post something like that in one of your threads for a show that you are promoting just out of pure respect for you. i saw that you have another thread about the living room and that's cool, but keep it in that one.

I just watched a video and listened to two tunes off the new album. I have the same issue I had with the first album I bought. The guitars and bass parts turn me on a little, but that vocalist just stomps all over everything in the worst way possible.
I'm still tempted to go to this, though. It would be definite, but I don't know if I'll be outta work in time.

their myspace and music videos are fairly well done and enjoyable to look at.
they have lots of potential but the songs kind of dont go anywhere it seems.
im undecided on the vocals... it might work if there were catchier vocal lines.

how did it happen all of a sudden that there's this whole generation of heavy bands where the musicianship is great but the vocals and the whole aesthetic just sucks? I don't understand where it went wrong, but my generation is totally fucking this up. I'm going to blame it on the fact that people who are 20-something now grew up surrounded by the awful music of the 90s, and now have no good reference for rawk
[Feb 19,2008 11:03pm - brian_dc ""]
All aesthetics suck
Musicians should be heard and not seen.
[Feb 20,2008 11:24am - brian_dc ""]
No musicians should be heard either

mourning the dead: for a band that I've never heard of before, they were really tight with a high quality sound to them. A lot of interesting new and old school riffs. Some parts at the beginning had a little BDM sound to them, but that might have only been one song. Good stuff.
[Feb 20,2008 9:22pm - the_reverend ""]
Dour Cursiva: all the talk of poopies and pooping before they hit the stage aside... Have they have gotten a lot bigger? There were a lot of people singing along and some dancing. Plus there were plenty of people in jiggabo wears buying DC goods. They had a similar sound issue to mourning the dead which leads me to believe that it is in fact the stage. The sound was terribly thin on the stage. In front of the speakers it was decent, but behind the speakers there was only what was reflecting back from the crowd. No monitors! besides that, they sounded just like their CD.

acariya: a huge number more people here rocking out for them. Interesting that when they play NH, metalheads go see them, but in PVD, it's all swooped hair and tizzight panteloonez. As far as I could tell, it was all the same songs from the NH show last week. The set sounded a lot better too. No pile up, but you can always get what you want. Like if you want cypress hill, ya get teased.
