| _____________________________________ [Mar 2,2004 2:56pm - the_reverend ""] I've never heard of the band asshole, but if they are good, get them. someone should get ringworm to play if they are afforable. |

My Letter - I know these kids, there were some people standing in the middle of the floor that wouldnt move. DeadWater Drowning - Awesome... sang along the whole time... except for the new song. Darken the Sky - 4 words... Velvet Chains of Dissatisfaction. Zealot - I hate them. Black my Heart - People seemed to like them... im not real big on the pure hardcore stuff. Forever Carved - My buds. I was too busy kicking stupid kids in the head. Neverfall - They were pretty good.... i dont really remember them. Eyes Like Stars - Did they play? Another Perfect Ending - I saw them last night too... they were better then. Come Out Swinging - Is this Disasterpiece? i dont know, they were okay... i like Praying For Plauge better. The Hostage Heart - Always good. The Filth - Didnt see Of Empty Words - Didnt see Greatest Fall - didnt see No Hope For Heros - Emo.... no good. Funeral in Frame - I got their demo for a buck DEFINETLY check them out. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 2:35am - the_reverend ""] disasterpiece changed their name to face first. I'm working on my review now. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 2:41am - anonymous ""] i hope we dont come out as a godsmack cover band again...haha |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 3:02am - the_reverend ""] ok, now what was up with the fertilizer smell? I thought I was snoring potting soil. if you are asking yourself "what smell" out lout, then you might just be a farmington highschool student. Seeing as Farmington is known for it's high pregnancy related incidents, many of the kids you saw there are or will shortly be moms/dead-beat-dads. To the people who put on the show: excellent job, it ran a little late, but went smoothly. all those kids that where there will hopefully now attend other shows... well see if they have the virus. the next step for them is learning how to do the perfect hand plant. SORRY IN ADVANCE FOR CRAPPY REVIEWS, but the show lasted 10 hours. the filth: they were decent. pretty straight-forward straight-edge punk. they covered a minor threat song and I'm pretty sure the last song was punx and skins by the casualties. there was a fight during their set too. something dumb, I'm sure. of empty words: metalcore with clean vocals. the guitar and drum work was straight-foreward. All the riffs where kicked with a flang. another perfect ending: these kids are talented, but not really my thing. they had a few fuck up that I could hear. they used the dual-guitar well, both playing some pretty interesting and complex things. I heard they used to be a thursday cover band. the vocals fit the style of music they were playing, but it wasn't really my thing. zealot: death-metal-core. man, were the singer's pants the biggest pants ever? face first: formally called diaster piece. they sounded much better here. all the clean vocals have been removed. the last song they played was my fav of their set. some kid with them had a slave flash on a tripod.. some of my pictures look "cool" from his flash. pray for a plague: damn, I've known Tim Simpson (blonde guitarist) for like 7 years and I finally get to see him in a band. they were pretty good too. the crowd went off a bit for them. they sounded a bit like some of creation is crucifixions non-death/non-grind stuff. this features 1/2 of diaster piece. funeral in fame: the crowd was fairly roudy for them. great for them to get a good response up here. they are a bit more melodic than that hall will let through so you couldn't hear some of it. no hope for heroes: featuring a guitar player from dying in sin if I'm not mistaken. I think at this point I started getting tired and cranky. they had mostly clean vocals which I wasn't really into. forever carved: I ate a few oreos... someone's been listening to bury your dead a little bit, huh? they sounded a lot better than tey did the last time I saw them. boy, I'm really harsh on clean vocals... the hostage heart: man, after a day of mostly localbands, the tone from their 5150's sounded amazing. I was just in awe. I'm not really knowledgable with gear, but you could totally hear the difference. their set was great too... no pantera cover, but xchrisx confessed his love to me. neverfall: tune.. mess up... tune... mess up.. and then just play through it. heh. before that, they got an excellent response from the crowd. they had a new singer. I guess they slept in a van down by the river last night. my letter: it was ok. the drummer had a head set and sang like underoath some of the time. but then they went into some poop-doggy dogg song. um.. I'm not sure what that was a bout, but I snapped a picture and even the picture looked gay. "I'm not sure what that girl with the huge grammy panties is all about." "honestly, I don't know what most people here are about." darken the sky: so brutal they broke a mic. one of the guitars was too low.. um.. right, I think. the notorious d.u.m.p.: I would just like to take this moment to say that the comedy central TV show "kid notorious" sucks. this step was much better than the last time. it didn't get shutdown and they got to play their 3rd song which I found to be their best. no, this wasn't a tears reunion, but I did get to see 3 unbelievable things during their set: 1) derek jumping will playing bass 2) doug singing hardcore vocals 3) derek mabra two-stepping black my heart: they are getting tighter each time I see them. it was a good performance. I think that the crowd is learning their songs now. damn, i didn't grab a cd. deadwater drowning: mic kept cutting out, but still sounded good. nate will be off with premonitions of war for a while. he'll probably be with them at the palladium in april for morbid angel. since the flood: excellent as usual. after hearing their cd over and over at the palladium, it was great to see them again. a fair amount of people stuck around for them. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 3:08am - anonymous ""] good idea with the name change guys! damn good music- the name was always kinda lame though (as you know because you finally changed it.) |
| _______________________________ [Mar 7,2004 3:12am - hybrid ""] aaron for all of our new material i wll not do any clean vocals? how does that sound? haha, i really only do them to give myself a break when im running out of breath. thanks for coming to the show though. i think everyone was pretty tired by the end of that show, but all in all it was good show. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 11:32am - XjonX ""] hey reverend this is Jon one of the kids who helped put on Gridironfest i got two of the Black my Heart discs if you would like a copy just e-mail me with your address and i'll send it to ya. thanks Xjonxrourkex@hotmail.com |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 11:38am - the_reverend ""] oh, don't worry, they will send or give me a copy. I heard it sounded awesome. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 11:45am - Wee...Bink! ""] dont mail it.... just drive it to him... it takes 20 mins instead of 2 weeks. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 2:10pm - -seth- ""] -this show would have been way better if so many bad bands didnt play. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 2:33pm - -seth- ""] it would have been nice if the crazy bassist of the 2 bands (who looked like he should be eating childred in sweeden mind you) just murdered all those bands with a giant fucking axe!! [img] |
| ________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 2:38pm - -seth- ""] the hostage heart where good -and funny! having a straight edge band at a show always helps fuel the fire. i heard the kids they brought with em fucked a couple kids up? |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 3:30pm - the_reverend ""] [img] I think that's the picture seth wanted |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 5:26pm - anonymous ""] i went to the show and thought it was great. i had a great time and saw some great bands.. just the way i wanted to spend a saturday. i liked darken the sky, forever carved and my letter's performances. it was cool how my letter played their old songs.. and the poop doggy song? what was that? it was cool though. i noticed darken the skys drummer broke 3 drumsticks. wow. and there were two guys there that had nintendo controllers on their belts... that was awesome. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 5:59pm - anonymous ""] HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHHA! yeah me too |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 6:55pm - anonymous ""] the filth is far from staight edge. haha. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 7:03pm - anonymous ""] NO, The Filth is straight edge shit music. if you want your eardrums to bleed out and die a terrible death of shitty emo "moshing" while listening to a band that only knows about 4 notes, and a singer who is about as intelligent as a spider monkey, then youll love the filth. And the fight wus because Emo bitches can't take a real pit |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 7:09pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""] fighting is about as gay as christopher lowell tossing anal beads into liberace and freddie mercury's dead asses while richard simmons and ellen degeneres play patty cake at an icarus line show. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 7:09pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""] with michael stipe doing guest vocals |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 7:25pm - anonymous ""] ....NOOOOO no Michael Stipe doing guest vocals, thats TOOOOOOOOO gay |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 7:29pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""] i try *bows* |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 7:36pm - anonymous ""] IN MY OPINION THAT SHOW WAS THE BEST SHOW IN A LONG TIME, ITS GOOD TOO SEE BANDS FROM MASS, AND CONN. BRINGING HARDCORE TO NH WE NEED A LOT MORE OF THAT, BUT THIS SHOW GAVE IT A GOOD BOOST I THINK YOULL SEE MORE KIDS AT SHOWS AROUND HERE FOR NOW ON |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2004 7:41pm - anonymous ""] well you do a damn good job, *applauds*...but i dunno if it wus a fight, it seemed more like a shove from a metal kid to a hardcore kid.....it coulda been alot worse |
| _______________________________ [Mar 7,2004 8:50pm - hybrid ""] hahahaha just reading spaldino's comments made me shit myself |

| ______________________________ [Mar 8,2004 12:48am - JK47 ""] -i probably should have! |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 8,2004 12:51am - mikehostageheart ""] the fight during our set was because some douche bag started saying our singer chris looked like he had down syndrome and that retards shouldn't be singing in bands, and DJ from the notorious d.u.m.p. heard him saying it so he kicked him in the face and beat the shit out of him right there. pretty funny if you ask me. |

| _________________________________________ [Mar 8,2004 9:58am - lehostageyaritza ""] watching DJ annihilate that kid was amazing...especially since dj is pretty small himself. Oh and which band was the one that brought the huge Dink?? i want to say it was deadwater drowning, but i could be wrong. That thing was fucking huge!!! |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 8,2004 10:32am - Wee...Bink! ""] well the kid was swinging it around during DD.... so i would have to agree with you. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 8,2004 12:12pm - the_reverend ""] DwD brings the cock to all the shows. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 8,2004 12:17pm - themonster ""] the kid he beet up is like a 8th grader, but it was still the funniest thing i have seen in a good while.. |
