| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 2:17pm - the_reverend ""] betrayed by all: (jerkys) their set started off with like 4 people in the room, but by the end of their set, there was more than a respectible amount of people taking them in the ears. Xmikex faced the TV for most of their set. He was obviously trying to get on the only fix that he can, sports related testosteroni. Good to see that these guys aren't just the merch that hivesmasher brings with them. This is the 3rd drunken day of the fest. That means it's going to start slow as people come out of their drunken stoopers. let's see how it goes. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 2:38pm - the_reverend ""] and all was silent: (club hell) their set was uneventful. A handful of people and a couple dancers. I confuse these guys with some "bigger" metalcore band. The bass was so loud and heavy it killed my chest and rattled my brain. There was a beer that I kept having to push back from the edge of one of the subs. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 2:39pm - the_reverend ""] speaking of subs... the sub shop up stairs will be open again soon. I don't think bear trap is here. im thinking of grabbing starbucks while I can. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 3:34pm - the_reverend ""] bear trap: (club hell) they finally went on and it was over in a flash. Honestly, if I had spent a second longer at my car, I would have missed them. Sounded killer, but holy shortness. They and debaser shared all their gear too I think. today seems to be getting off to a rocky start with bands not showing or something. they are probably with theirs moms. like people didn't know mothers day was today. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 3:47pm - the_reverend ""] panzar bastard is starting in minutes cause sadist didn't show. also debaser has been just standing on the stage downstairs waiting to play for like 30 minutes. they were up on stage and set up before the sound guys knew bear trap was done. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 4:10pm - the_reverend ""] panzar bastard: (jerkys) they got bumped up cause of sadist not being here. Good set. It was missing all the fans singing along, but it was still a good set. Bobby looks almost respectible enough to give a job. Almost. |
| ______________________________ [May 10,2009 4:36pm - guy ""] the_reverend said:panzar bastard: Bobby looks almost respectible enough to give a job. Almost. hopefully not |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 5:02pm - the_reverend ""] debaser: (club hell) like I said, they were up on stage and ready to play after bear trap and before the sound guy even knew that bear trap's set was over. Uneventful set. I get the feeling that will explain most of the night. revenge ma: (club hell) excellent set. Napalm deathy hardcore sort of like the shorter integrity songs. They did a cover of vocal shrapnel. I figured if anything that would get the crowd moving, but even that did not. I don't think there is a single springfield band that george is not in. after their set, I walked up stairs to see what was going on up there. I had to walk passed a barricade that should have tipped me off. the door was also closed. I went in side and it was empty except for red-shirted security who where pulling the place down and packing it all away. some guy finally said "we're shutting here down". I guess all bands that are/were playing upstairs are now playing downstairs. there is a significant lack of some bands that are playing and their fans. they are also doing piercing/suspension with fish hooks in the band/smoke room out back. idk how I feel about that... I need me some safety goggles and a nail proof skin please |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 5:42pm - the_reverend ""] weight of the crown: (club hell) these guys were pretty awesome. The music was kind of like the good "hardcore" all out war songs. Not to be confused with the metalcore all out war that is putting out albums this decade. There was some dance moves tossed out on the floor for them. closing up stairs really was a wicked smart idea. there are more people downstairs now. though how do I get a tofu and cheese sub now? |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 5:47pm - the_reverend ""] they have also been screwing eye screws into the ceiling down here all night... is there something I don't know about... someone taked about suspension.. |
| _____________________________________________ [May 10,2009 5:48pm - KeynoteCompany NLI ""] the_reverend said:they have also been screwing eye screws into the ceiling down here all night... is there something I don't know about... someone taked about suspension.. I think that's part of Bad Luck 13 and/or Nassau Chainsaw. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 5:50pm - the_reverend ""] idt it's bl13 cause they talked about bl13 as a sidenote. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 5:52pm - the_reverend ""] " MySpace Music profile for NASSAU CHAINSAW DisGraceLand Demolition Committee. ... An outfit of oddities that specialize in flesh pulls, body suspension's spinning swinging and stage diving attached with ..." |
| ______________________________ [May 10,2009 5:58pm - guy ""] i hope someone tapes the bl13 set |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 6:03pm - the_reverend ""] im putting on a tele lens and going either to the merch area or the soundbooth. im concerned about the sound booth cause of goons coming in from the back alley, but if I go to the merch area... goons might rush out of there with weapons that were hidden in the merch totes, but who's going to fuck up their own merch? |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 6:49pm - the_reverend ""] So every band is now downstairs at club hell. that means a lot of downtime between bands. home invasion: no show? Rampant Decay: they had panzar bastard up front cheering a long for them. Good set and lots of posed pictures of your favorite internet celebrity (after chocolate rain), Ricardo McIrishdickson. I might have taken more pictures of RD than any other band. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 7:20pm - the_reverend ""] pound for pound: some beatdown. Reminds me a little of fbc, but only a little. These guys would probably go over really well in brokton. I went to shoot more pictures but they were finished. im starving :( |
| _________________________________ [May 10,2009 7:30pm - reimroc ""] brockton does love the tough guy hardcore bands. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 8:06pm - the_reverend ""] back of tha neck: I shot their first show what 7 yrs ago? 49 monk st ftw! Basically the best set of the night so far. They had plenty of people dancing and singing. The bass player does an amazing swiss impression. I kept giving him double takes. They made fun of everyone, some lady from the bar heckled them and that was that. They ended this set as violently as they started. It was all friends so no blood did I see. their last show, reimroc is next sunday or saturday IN BROCKTON. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 8:20pm - the_reverend ""] they ve eopecomng ut in surgical masks... laying out sterile pads... how conerning |
| _________________________________ [May 10,2009 8:45pm - reimroc ""] i'm all set on tough guys (not the bands, the scene there). i'll keep it NH/MV where dudes at least don't take themselves too seriously. |
| _________________________________ [May 10,2009 8:45pm - reimroc ""] if it is really their last show i may be compelled to drive to brockton. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 8:57pm - the_reverend ""] they said it was... |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 8:57pm - the_reverend ""] nassau chainsaw: whoah.. Suspensions, back skin tug-o-war. Completely controlled chaos. They had a line "like bad luck 13 at hellfest, flip the bleachers". I though I was going to hate the music cause of the rappish parts, but it wasn't that I actually liked a lot of it. Theyh had a sampler playing beats while they played too. There was one guy constantly swinging and tons of towels etc.. If they had a blow-out. |
| _________________________________ [May 10,2009 8:57pm - reimroc ""] well then i may have to go. i'm way more anxious to see GU! play again. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 8:59pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, that was a surprise. either that or a marketing ploy. they ended it on top... weird... |
| ______________________________ [May 10,2009 9:08pm - guy ""] hopefully rev reviews this headliner |
| _____________________________________________ [May 10,2009 9:09pm - KeynoteCompany NLI ""] Yeah I definitely want to hear how Bad Luck 13 goes. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 9:27pm - the_reverend ""] billy club sandwich is on now. rough crowd here. not sure how im going to weather bl13. |
| ______________________________ [May 10,2009 9:29pm - guy ""] you'll be ok, you got that |
| _____________________________________ [May 10,2009 10:18pm - RichHorror ""] Back Of Tha Neck saved this show. Im home after Taco Bell. Holla. |
| ______________________________________________ [May 10,2009 10:23pm - KeynoteCompany NLI ""] Anxiously awaiting a BL13 review. |
| _______________________________ [May 10,2009 10:30pm - guy ""] its about time |
| _______________________________________ [May 10,2009 10:40pm - the_reverend ""] where the fuck is tb? it would be nice to get the glass out of my mouth exit 9? |
| __________________________________ [May 10,2009 10:52pm - reimroc ""] wut? |
| _______________________________________ [May 10,2009 11:01pm - the_reverend ""] towards the end of their set what I thought was still beer hitting me apparently had turned to glass. it went down my shirt n stuff |
| __________________________________ [May 10,2009 11:05pm - reimroc ""] the_reverend said:towards the end of their set what I thought was still beer hitting me apparently had turned to glass. it went down my shirt n stuff i had a feeling something along those lines would happen during their set. |
| __________________________________ [May 10,2009 11:06pm - reimroc ""] either that or a fire extinguisher being used into the crowd. |
| _______________________________________ [May 10,2009 11:55pm - the_reverend ""] just a lot of blood and glass. |
| __________________________________________ [May 11,2009 12:17am - frankie chairs ""] The days of ridiculousnessness is over for bl13, they've really tamed down their set, and rich knows what's up haha my fat ass stopped at taco bell on the way home too,, thank you to everyone who came out early to check out betrayed by all! |
| _____________________________________ [May 11,2009 12:34am - justinxxx ""] to anyone who watched revenge. thanks alot! we appreciate it:NEWHORNS: |
| _____________________________________ [May 11,2009 12:49am - RichHorror ""] I'd just like to take this time to say I have better shoulders than Aaron. |

| ________________________________ [May 11,2009 9:50am - xmikex ""] Thoughts on all the bands I remember seeing... BBA: Believe it or not there were more people there then I thought there would be. The singer of Broken Cross punched a girl, and I LOL-ed. I was watching the Phillies/Braves game (go Braves) and some dude got drilled in the head right before we went into that big slam in Face Your Fears. I was pumped. PaNZar BasstErd: Ruled. They were kind of out of their element, but whatever. I think it was one of the only times I've seen them not as Celtic Frost. They sounded awesome and got me re-interested in the show. WOTC: Supremely nice dudes that play with a lot of intensity. Very Pennsylvania-ish. Rampant Decay: When I showed up to the show Rich was sober. 5 hours later he wasn't. It was like watching a solid gold butterfly emerge from a diamond studded cocoon and fly straight into a bug zapper. Their bass player's tone reminded me of Iron Cross, and that's a good thing. It rivaled PB's for my favorite bass tone of the day, and made me wish I owned equipment. BOTN: Back Of Tha Neck saved this show. LOLz OPPOSITE DAY!! Numetal Chainsaw (aka Strangeland the band): Dudes rapping, weird body mod suspension stuff going on, huge expensive elaborate shocking shit going on and... OH LOOK! HOCKEY ON TV. I don't think it's worth mentioning that I didn't even bat and eyelash at any of their boring shenanigans... so I won't. Billy Club Sandwich: Donde estas tu corazon, puta?! For my money, one of the best bands in hardcore. This set proved it. |
| _____________________________________ [May 11,2009 12:17pm - RichHorror ""] They made me happy in a Oh wow I'm at the P.A.L. sorta way. |
| _______________________________________ [May 11,2009 12:22pm - the_reverend ""] the billy club that the singer had in his hand looked like a vibrator. I say that here behind the safety of 20 layers of internets. I wouldn't say that there cause.. well... they were one of the heaviest and toughest bands I've seen live. Pretty sure that if they were playing at roman's, people would be dead. Their drummer has a sweet jew-fro going on, but he was wicked solid. |
| _______________________________________ [May 11,2009 12:29pm - the_reverend ""] bad luck 13.. I pussied out and started at the back of the room. tried using my telephoto lens and loaded a "beater" camera so I could get in close if things were bad, but not too bad. I ended up swapping out quickly back to my normal set up and just being careful up close. there was a guy there with a really nice video camera who I watched to see what he was doing. This was toned down. some glass breaking and florescent lights being smashed. The girl's shirt looked like my pillow case when I was a kid. I got a lot of bloody noses back then. They just bladed themselves and thread a lot of beer. it was like a FTW meets murphy's law with glass, but without the good feeling that drinking with murphy's law is suppose to give. Towards the end, there was a lot of glass in the air where I was. It was in my shirt and there is a piece in my arm that keeps poking me, but I can't see it. Seeing this makes me feel like a total pussy for walking out on the 2004 hellfest set within minutes of them going on. I would probably see them again. |
| ________________________________ [May 11,2009 1:41pm - xmikex ""] [img] Oh shit I missed Greg Lloyd |
| ________________________________ [May 11,2009 1:42pm - xmikex ""] [img] OH NOES!!!11! Tinsel Teeth lost their gimmick. I wish I stayed for BL13, but holy shit I was exhausted. |
| ____________________________________ [May 11,2009 1:43pm - RichHorror ""] haha, ditto |
| ___________________________________________ [May 11,2009 1:44pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Did Billy Club do the Brujeria cover? They were probably the only reason I wanted to attend this fest. |
| ________________________________ [May 11,2009 2:20pm - xmikex ""] I don't think they do the Brujeria cover anymore. The last couple times I've seen them they've done Sheer Terror. This is gonna go down as a very unpopular opinion but I'd way rather hear the Brujeria cover. |
| ___________________________________________ [May 11,2009 2:27pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] I'm with you on that one. Matando Gueros is my favorite Brujeria album, but Raza Odiada (Pito Wilson) is their best song, and the BCS cover is sweet. |
| ______________________________________ [May 11,2009 2:32pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, they ended with sheer terror. brujeria would have been awesome. |
| __________________________________________ [May 11,2009 3:00pm - largefreakatzero ""] The BL13 chick doesn't look too bad in those pics. Perhaps those who saw her up close may beg to differ, but the body looks pretty decent. |
| ____________________________________ [May 11,2009 7:03pm - RichHorror ""] Also Aaron missed out on a sweet Rich Horror/BBA makeout sesh. |
| ______________________________________ [May 11,2009 7:13pm - the_reverend ""] fuckin a! |
| ____________________________________ [May 11,2009 7:14pm - RichHorror ""] Boners To Last |
| ______________________________________ [May 11,2009 7:15pm - the_reverend ""] I miss EVERYTHING. |
| ________________________________ [May 11,2009 8:57pm - xmikex ""] May I also add that the fat woman with the awesome fishnet tattoos that was yelling insults to the bands years beyond anyone paying attention to her was the most attractive woman I've ever seen and did NOT... at all look like she was made out of melted cake frosting and asbestos. |
| ____________________________________ [May 11,2009 9:00pm - RichHorror ""] She made me fear for my life. |
| ______________________________________ [May 11,2009 9:23pm - the_reverend ""] that's funny, I thought you were going home with her to meet her daughter. |
| ____________________________________ [May 11,2009 9:39pm - RichHorror ""] :( |
