[Jan 24,2009 11:34pm - ouchdrummer ""]
i never remember the bands that played with the bands i went to see, so i will just name them.
Gojira/Behemoth/ Palladium
Decrepit Birth/Hate Eternal-palladium
Arsis (faceless canceled) enslaved-marks
origin-hell
carcass tour-Nokia Theatre NY
at the gates-palladium
there were definately more good ones, but these were the highlights. The bands that i have listed here were all absolutely on their game at these particular shows. Notably Gojira on the Behemoth tour. I love Gojira anyways, and the way they played live was better than their albums.

God dammit! How did I miss so many awesome shows!?
[Jan 25,2009 1:05am - ouchdrummer ""]
yeah, always sucks thinking about what you missed. But instead think of all the stuff you've already seen, and try to see more. Or die because you don't really like music.
[Jan 25,2009 1:33am - boblovesmusic ""]
Oh man 2008 was an amazing year for shows for me. I mean, I went to more shows in 2008 than ever in my life, it was awesome! 2009 is going to be also amazing for shows! I can't wait!
Also, now that I'm more into the scene, it's going to be more fun now that I have a bunch of buddies to go to shows with. Wow, this was kinda a sappy comment haha.
[Jan 25,2009 1:47am - ouchdrummer ""]
but true. Sappy is ok though, MFR thought i was playing "gay chicken" with him, when i was really going in to give him a smooch..which i did.
Here is something you can't understand..
