| ________________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 9:47am - josh_hates_you ""] black pyramid is playing at 3:10. the mainstage lineup actually isnt terrible. would go upstairs for earth crisis only. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 9:48am - the_reverend ""] I just saw black pyramid as I was posting this. I was shocked. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 9:48am - the_reverend ""] coa is one of the best live bands ever and forfeit is really good. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 9:50am - josh_hates_you ""] i know coa is good. i just dont care. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 23,2010 10:29am - Yeti ""] i saw all the buses and lackeys milling around this morning. every moment i'm not at this wretched event is a good moment. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 10:30am - ouchdrummer ""] josh_hates_you said:black pyramid is playing at 3:10. the mainstage lineup actually isnt terrible. would go upstairs for earth crisis only. I would go to this if Earth Crisis played ALL of Destroy the Machines, front to back. Yeah. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 23,2010 11:03am - pam ""] Just had to turn down photopasses for both days. FML. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 11:16am - Jonahathome ""] Anyone driving up from boston with a couple of empty seats? I'll buy you a hot dog.. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 11:17am - timma ""] I'm going tomorrow. I know that makes me super scene-lame, but whatever. Never seen Cattle Decapitation, and Municipal Waste upstairs will be sweet. Always enjoy seeing Cannibal Corpse too. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 11:22am - Earf Crysis ""] We are boycotting this fest due to the sausage vendor being allowed to peddle his murder meat in front of the venue!!! |
| _______________________________ [Apr 23,2010 11:33am - blue ""] I wish I was seeing Disembodied, I'd prob poop myself. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 11:49am - goatcatalyst ""] I've contemplated going for Disembodied and then leaving, contingent on my scoring a way in to do so. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 12:00pm - eyehatehippies ""] Goat, I'd get you in if I could, but shit's gonna be weird, there's a lot of red tape and shit, not even including guest list or anything. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 12:27pm - the_reverend ""] btw: black pyramid is in howels spot and the rest of the mainstage is moved up a little. monsters was pretty good. they would get a fine for excessive use of the bass drop pedal if i were the police. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 12:48pm - Pires ""] If I could go 3:30-5:30 2nd stage and leave w/o paying full price, it'd so be worth it. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 12:55pm - Goatrider ""] Looks like I'll there just in time for Black Pyramid. Cro Mags are the only second-stage band I might be into, though I have no idea how they are live. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 12:56pm - goatcatalyst ""] thanks, Andy - i know how it goes. you guys are gonna fucking kill. have a blast and i'll be seeing you soon. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 1:01pm - The_Rooster ""] ouchdrummer said: josh_hates_you said:black pyramid is playing at 3:10. I would go to this if Earth Crisis played ALL of Destroy the Machines, while eating meat and injecting booze into their veins. FYP. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 1:18pm - the_reverend ""] i like the war's music, straight edge from aussieland. i bet everyone was having and edgegasm during their set. that and im surprised that jeremy saffer (photography and non-gentile man about town) had to ask about what band this was. guess his edgedar is down. they are watching starwars downstairs on on of the mastodon screens. grave maker was pretty awesome. the first real pit. they are way ahead of time and forfeit isnt playing so they are waiting for donnybrook! |
| _______________________________ [Apr 23,2010 1:51pm - timma ""] Does it smell like Phys Ed in there yet? |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 1:52pm - the_reverend ""] ok, donnybrook got here and played so early. it is kind of weird. i think a lot of donnybrook fans were not here yet. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 3:31pm - the_reverend ""] so black pyramid is the biggest amount of win so far. if in one year, masstodon doesnt make these guys tour with them, it's only cause they are afraid of being upstaged. these guys sounded so good. coa (up) was late and only played like 10 minutes. sucks, but they were still good. i only caught a song and 1/2 |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 3:32pm - the_reverend ""] im also trying something new, using a CF for up and a CF for down. let's see how that works. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 3:55pm - Jonahathome ""] Heading over in a few.. gonna take the ramming van, park it somewhere and sleep in it after the show. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 4:02pm - the_reverend ""] so mongoloid had a lot of peope singing along to the songs that werent new. i also failed on the 2 cf's right off the bat during their set. after i ran down to catch howl. they sounded so good. i caught most of their set, but the bonus is if stoners come up to brendan. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 4:11pm - boblovesmusic ""] cf? |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 4:29pm - the_reverend ""] compact flash. jonah, got candy? i loved seeing death before dishonor. it seems like i never get to see those guys anymore. i miss seeing them every other weekend. that's what happeneds when they become tour machines so good for them. mychildrenmybride did a set down stairs. i didnt expect that. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 4:35pm - the_reverend ""] i think architect uk didnt show. this is the 3rd or 4th time i went to see them and they didnt play/show up. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 4:56pm - the_reverend ""] thus far upstairs is way more packed than all of downstaris. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 5:16pm - the_reverend ""] super fun death threat set, but then again when isnt DT super fun? |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 6:10pm - the_reverend ""] doomriders needless to say was the best sounding band of the night. the crowd didnt seem to reall care which is sad.. but man, them, black pyramid, and mastodon should do a smaller club tour. that tour would rule. earth crisis was ok. i sang along to straight edge though it was a lie. i was lying through song. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 6:21pm - inject-nli ""] i wish i was there to see the cro-mags right now. i am dissapoint. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 6:40pm - the_reverend ""] they are starti)ng this second |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 6:53pm - josh_hates_you ""] Glad to hear Black Pyramid killed it. How was the crowd for them? I'll be showing up later to flyer for the Unearthly Trance, Black Pyramid, Sin of Angels show on june 5th @ club oasis in worcester. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 6:53pm - snakes919 ""] Fuck me. Black Pyramid killed. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 7:18pm - the_reverend ""] the crowd downstairs has been pretty lame so far. there were probably 75ish on the floor when they played and maybe that many off the floor. upstairs has been packed. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 7:21pm - the_reverend ""] cromags were ok. personally, i like seeing harley's war covering cromags more. valient thorr is on now. the singer puts on one of the wackiest stage shows. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 7:22pm - bloblovesmusic ""] Valient Thorr was one of the bands I would've enjoyed checking out/seeing. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2010 8:30pm - the_reverend ""] baroness sounded so damn good... they also showed the ablum cover behind them depending on what album the song they are playing was off of. brilliant. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 12:30am - the_reverend ""] at home working on pictures. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 12:34am - LPCustom ""] Cleaning up your shitty pants buddy? |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 12:43am - bornofosichris ""] My thoughts on bands I caught: After The Burial - super tight live, great sound. loved it. new song was sick. Doomriders - amazing as always, one of the best live bands period. crowd wasn't into it that much, not really a doomriders crowd i guess. Valient Thor - thought they sucked. trying way too hard to be the cool retro rock band. Cro-Mags - caught the very end of their set, sounded solid. Baroness - fucking awesome. duh. BTBAM - don't really know these guys that well *gasp* thought they were ok, i'd have to hear them on cd. Mastodon - disappointed. and very much so. Brent was so fucked up he couldn't sing or play. They cut "Crusher Destroyer" before finishing the song and during Capillarian Crest at the end Brent just left halfway through the song leaving the other 3 to finish. Not cool. They definitely had a song or two to follow but they just cut the show then. Said hi to Bill afterwards, you could tell he was pissed. A shame, such a good band but Brent needs to pull his shit together big time. :/ Interviewed After the Burial, it'll be on yewtewb later. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 1:35am - the_reverend ""] mastodon seemed... lost on the stage... |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 1:35am - the_reverend ""] pictures uploading btw |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 1:56am - the_reverend ""] Oops.. Architect was actually mychildrenmybride. Also, my computers are all fucking up... Grrr... |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 2:23am - the_reverend ""] Ok... The whole issue was a path value being way too long. Fuck! Wasted so much time! |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 2:51am - Randy_Marsh 9/11 ""] metal fest became faggot. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 7:55am - josh_hates_you ""] while handing out flyers it seemed like maybe 600 people came out after mastodon. guess they didn't even open up the balcony. pretty pathetic for the metalfest. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 8:17am - goatcatalyst ""] Shit fest merits shit attendance. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 8:35am - xanonymousx ""] the_reverend said:baroness sounded so damn good... they also showed the ablum cover behind them depending on what album the song they are playing was off of. brilliant. Just like Metallica did during Summer Sanitarium |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 8:44am - the_reverend ""] no, metallica is shitty. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 12:14pm - Jonahathome ""] Baroness were legendary as always, I tried to catch a mastodon band fight on camera but the security guy made me put my camera away, haha |
