| _________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 12:57am - todayistheday ""] BULLSHIT...once again i get screwed out of seeing dying fetus |
| _________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 1:10am - Magg0t ""] I heard the club wasnt making enough money as the night went on. Anyone know the reason why it closed early? I talked with Dying Fetus shortly after they broke the news. They said they may be coming back up around here relatively soon. So you get another chance todayistheday |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 1:11am - todayistheday ""] i seriously have the worst luck with them......drove to springfield to find out they canceled, drove to providence and car broke down and now club gets shutdown right before them...........still havent seen them live |
| _________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 1:16am - Terence ""] That sucks so bad! No wonder why Malignancy's set was cut 20 minutes. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 1:49am - JonahBloodbath ""] I left wicked early due to being tired of shitty metal/core what happened exactly? |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 1:54am - the_reverend ""] lots of rumors... the thing I heard while walking out was that the "VIP" room on the second stage got trashed and the club wanted $400 extra so when they didnt get it, they called the cops. but that's me just eves dropping while walking. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 2:00am - succubus ""] well i talked to 2 of the bartenders and they said it was not them...they have to stay until 2am anyhow, they said "someone"i.e. a band or patrons may have ruined/damaged something...and the cops were called and that = to end of show...that was the official word..i heard some unofficial info, but i'm not posting that and i talked to dying fetus too, mostly sean/shawn they are coming back soon...sucked about the show ending early..as they say 1 person ruining it for the bunch. sucks |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 2:07am - JonahBloodbath ""] did burnt by the sun play and how were they? |
| _____________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 2:08am - theundergroundscene ""] I think I was in the VIP room when it was "trashed," but I am not sure. The room was a mess, yes, but trashed? No. That implies that things were broken and stuff and that wasn't the case. There was just food thrown everywhere and if you expect $400 extra for that crap you are retarded. Now I don't know what happened after I left the room, so it very well could have been "trashed" after that, but seriously, you put a bunch of bands together, give them a lot of alcohol and what do you expect? All in all though, I had a pretty good time today. It didn't seem as hectic as other fests. Sure, I had to run around to get pictures, but I still had tons of extra time to sit down and chill out and talk to people. It's a shame the night had to end the way it did though, but it's also a shame that attendence was so bad... |
| __________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 2:15am - succubus ""] no jonah..they didn't get to play..neither did dying fetus, beyond the embrace and freya |
| _____________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 2:20am - theundergroundscene ""] I don't even think Freya was there... |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 2:24am - the_reverend ""] I'm going to voice right now that I don't like freya. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 2:33am - Kalopsia ""] wow that blows. i'd kill someone if they stopped me from seeing dying fetus live. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 2:40am - JonahBloodbath ""] haha freya blows was the turn out that bad? sure a lot of the people were bands, but it seemed a decent crowd |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 3:37am - the_reverend ""] third stage kobalt: didn't sound as nu-metal as I was told to expect. sort of like seputlura-ish.. fear factory-ish old trauma concept stuff. malignancy: they talked a lot 'bout 'gina's. sounded sick. metal militia: you guys, though I saw them at milwaukee metal fest 2002. they were thrash metal. a-myg-dala: the same girl singer as the suffering. she gave a speech about fuck fashion and fuck beauty.. hard to take that from someone with dreds as pricey as my camera. they sounded better than the suffering. wormdr1v3: no drummer, just a drum machine. I had an interesting convo comparing it to the illustrious ministry. scorch: 3 drummers? all drumming the same thing? why? isn't that was slipknot does? I always sware I saw them under a different name at miluakee metal fest 2002 goratory: sounded pretty good, though the guitar could have been mic'd better. lots of bro's moshing it up. a terrible night for a curse: sounded much heavier than the last times I've seen them. I liked them a lot better. they had at least one new member. the suffering: girl singer. rumor has it she made her boots from a large eskimo family. summit: totally thrash metal. ex in dire need. I got yelled at for mashing dance with my camera |
| _______________________________ [Mar 22,2004 9:00am - davyp ""] How was Kubrick????...... |
| ____________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 9:00am - housebythecemetery ""] were any refunds given i left after malignancy |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 9:20am - todayistheday ""] they should give fucking refunds... |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 9:31am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Raising Kubrick, Aganihm, A-Myg-Dala, Malignancy Worm Drive, and Summit were the only good bands I saw. That doesn't mean there were not other good bands, because I basically stayed upstairs at the main stage. I didn't even go down the street at all. Ryan McCracken was there as well, and made his way around more then I did, so someone should ask him what happened. I left early. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 9:34am - the_reverend ""] damn it.. I'm going to have to write my review later for stage 1&2. I fell asleep on my notes and then forgot them when I left for work. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 22,2004 9:45am - davyp ""] the_reverend said:damn it.. I'm going to have to write my review later for stage 1&2. I fell asleep on my notes and then forgot them when I left for work. Please do..... I'm waiting..........:shocked: |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 9:57am - the_reverend ""] well, I get out of work around 4 or 5.... |
| ________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 10:10am - gorg ""] somebody said we sounded like a more evened out disrupt...? i dunno, i dont really see the punk influence, but thats still quite a compliment, cause i love disrupt. i moved around for this show. succubus where are your pictures? |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 10:13am - the_reverend ""] I think my aganihm and burn in silence pictures are the best from that night. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 10:19am - Pete from RK ""] Suck for the headliners that they didn't get to play. Burnt By the Sun seemed to handle not playing pretty well. Other than that it was a really good time. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 10:24am - subjugate ""] naturally cause they were paid reguardless of wether they played or not Pete from RK said: Burnt By the Sun seemed to handle not playing pretty well. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 10:28am - gorg ""] the guitarist from burn in silence went to high school with me. i havnt seen him in maybe 4 years or something crazy. and his friend came dino, who was the first kid to ever play death metal for me, he showed up and let me listen to none so vile when i was a freshman in high school, that kid was really good at drums. neither of them recognized me with my long hair, it was really hilarious. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 10:34am - succubus ""] my pics will be up tonight! I wasn't running around like the rev though, i stayed at the main stage the most so I didn't snap every band. I got a cool "The Network" shirt, a "jagermeister" tank top which i had to put on right away in order for me to get it so there was no flashing or wet tank tops involved. I did end up getting flashed myself though. REALLY does suck about not being able to see the headliners though at least i had a really cool convo with Sean from Dying Fetus...he was gonna let me do some promo shots too =( anyhow |

| ________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 11:18am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I think Aganihm has a definate punk sound in some of the songs, I compare you guys to Disrupt also. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 2:58pm - kellthevalkyrie ""] it definatley sucked a big suck that it all ended early. i'm a huge BTE girl, and i didn't get to see them, and that SUCKED for me. what can you do? it's all a bunch of lameness. i had fun while it lasted.... the attendance seemed alright to me. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 3:04pm - todayistheday ""] it was pretty empty at the end but it was a sunday night...did they really think there was going to be a huge crowd around for when dying fetus was supposed to play? fucking 12:45-1:45 thats just crazy...next time hold it on a saturday |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 3:07pm - RustedAngel ""] [img] hahaha nice aaron. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 3:24pm - the_reverend ""] that vest came with a girl to carry it. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 4:06pm - succubus ""] i carried blueberry bagels...and then someone "accidentally" took my camera bag and loaded it into their van scent of bueberries must have hypnotized them dammit! |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 4:07pm - BornSoVile ""] Highlites, Summit - good to see these dudes for the first time. I like it, good versitility all around, vocals were somewhat loud though. looking forward to more music! Aganihm - this band continues to impress me. A harsher more techinal sorta disruptish grinding assault. Raising Kubrick - played great, an awesome set! couldn't hear much bass or vocals but sarah is way better than the dread locked broad. Goratory - good times good times. too bad the black bouncers stood in the "pit" they were in the way and I felt scared after I patted one their titties unintentionally. I like the new one, AIDS. They shoulda played in A-Myg-Dala's spot. Burn In Silence - Max rules. Metal Militia - Good to see some thrash on this bill. Straight out of 83 and Florida as well. It was a shame they went on in front of no one. Malignancy - i'd be a loser if I said this shit didn't kick ass. it's bullshit they only played for 20 minutes. they need to come back and play for 2 hours for the whole 20 death metal kids that care about this shit. good sound, great set. security was a bummer with the no moshing policy. goratory's room mate got thrown out for drinking so they had to leave early, it made me sad, pass it on. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 4:13pm - XmikeX ""] [img] theres a band with Dave Willis AND Dan Lozzi and i missed it?!?! what the hell. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 4:36pm - joostin ""] RustedAngel said:[img] hahaha nice aaron. my shining moment |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 4:48pm - the_reverend ""] subjugate said:on the bsr page they say it's cause she broke contract and couldn't pay the club http://www.baystaterock.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10158 http://www.baystaterock.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10158 I wish so some would post what happened... like the real story... |
| __________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 4:55pm - succubus ""] me too... |
| ________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 4:58pm - assuck ""] i was outside handing out flyers for Boston's Dead 20, April 1st at obrien's (plug), and heard the most generic sounding metalcore ever coming from inside one of the clubs. horrible. By the way, joe, did you end up selling ANYTHING? |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 5:03pm - ministry ""] Does anybody know what the deal with SAS shutting down early was about? There are many conflicting stories and I was wondering if there is any facts yet? |
| __________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 5:05pm - succubus ""] that's what we are trying to figure out |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 5:08pm - ministry ""] hey Reverend, this is Otto from Wormdr1v3, and Bluntface Records. I wanted to say thanks for takeing those cool pics of us, and getting us some press. Even though our set was a f***ing train wreck it made it totally worth it to see my goofy ass flipen' off the camera. I remember that moment specifically, so that's very cool it made the site. Thanks man |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 5:12pm - ministry ""] anyways, back to SAS, Megan said her (Trauma concept ???) bass player's bass had been stolen. Does anyone know if they found it? I wonder if that had anything to do with the situation? |
| _______________________________ [Mar 22,2004 5:16pm - jake ""] who decided to be great and make this show 19+ btw? |
| __________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 5:18pm - succubus ""] yes the bass was found as was my bag ~~~ and also no news on the official site or message board http://sinpromos.proboards22.com/index.cgi?board=SICKasSIN |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 5:20pm - ministry ""] I thought that was a stranger age limit. I'm from VT, live in NH so I'm ignorant to this, but is 19 a certain age limit in MA (tobacco, lottery, etc.),? Why 19 at SAS? |
