| __________________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:14pm - MillenialKingdom ""] This guy speaks my language. Great read. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:16pm - the_reverend ""] except you don't remember hardcore in the 90's cause you are too young. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:18pm - MikeOv ""] Factbomb. Rev drops them. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:26pm - C.dead ""] Haha. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:35pm - arilliusbm ""] I just miss vfw shows |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:41pm - arilliusbm ""] only the rat was real. bring back the rat or gtfo |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:44pm - the_reverend ""] aril, you are from texas and never went to the rat or YOU LIE. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:46pm - the_reverend ""] I was going to say that I was the only one in this thread that went to the rat, but jay probably did. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:47pm - narkybark ""] ahem. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:47pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i have a flyer from the rat somewhere |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:47pm - arilliusbm ""] no I never did but I remember it and know its signifigance... A few of my buddies used to talk about how awesome it was in its heyday. I barely ever went into Boston for shows as a young un... Used to go to vfw shows and parish hall shows because nothing else was around |
| ________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:48pm - Kevord ""] I went to the Rat many times cause I'm also old. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:48pm - blue ""] yeah, damon's older than dwyer. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:49pm - narkybark ""] I'll shake my cane at you! |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:49pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i fail to see how thats possible. dwyer is father time. you cannot be older than that. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:49pm - the_reverend ""] the rat is the only place that smell like piss more than the old obriens. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:51pm - arilliusbm ""] Fact remains... Bring back the fucking RAT |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:52pm - MillenialKingdom ""] the_reverend said:except you don't remember hardcore in the 90's cause you are too young. That's not what I meant. I meant his writing style and senses of sarcasm and misanthropy are similar to mine. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:54pm - the_reverend ""] wait, isn't the rat now a blockbuster? blockbuster is going out of business... just sayin |
| ________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 4:54pm - Kevord ""] arilliusbm said:Fact remains... Bring back the fucking RAT The Rat as a venue was not that great. The shows there were better because it was a better time for music. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 5:00pm - the_reverend ""] kevord is right the rat sucked. If there had ever been a fire there, everyone would have died. Every use the back stairs there? Ever seen "security" pull someone out the back stairs while beating someone? It was like getting pulled through a coffin. Also, there was always water from the toilets traveling through the show room into a drain in the middle of the floor. Still, the shows there were awesome. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 5:08pm - narkybark ""] cannot be understood, either |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 5:10pm - the_reverend ""] oh and the rat had a pole like right in the middle of the floor that you couldn't even hide behind cause people would circle pit around it. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 5:11pm - xmikex ""] Ironically the people in legitimately successful bands like Earth Crisis and Bloodlet never gave a fuck and were much more down-to-earth than their entry-level counterparts. lol @ Earth Crisis not being rock stares |
| ______________________________ [Jul 30,2010 5:21pm - Lamp ""] Blog sounds like it was written by a total jackoff, I was barely able to read any of it. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 5:24pm - arilliusbm ""] the rat had all those little idiosyncratic attributes which made it a legend. jealous of the crowd that's 35+ and experienced it in it's heyday. Only kpanzer is real for playing there |
| ________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 5:26pm - Kevord ""] Lamp said:Blog sounds like it was written by a total jackoff, I was barely able to read any of it. The guy does seem like a jackoff but alot of what he wrote is true for the scene in Mass. during the mid 90's. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 5:43pm - DaveMaggotCOTDS ""] stuff. . . |
| _______________________________ [Jul 30,2010 6:59pm - timma ""] Holy shit...Dave lives! What's up, chach? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 11:33pm - mike29 ""] There was some good hardcore shows at Pearl Street in North Hampton in the mid 90's( Life Of Agony, Madball/Merauder). Is that venue still in existence under another name? |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 30,2010 11:50pm - the_reverend ""] I thought it was still called pearl st but shows are infrequent. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 31,2010 2:48am - DaveMaggotCOTDS ""] i'm alive. doing pretty good. how are you sir? i dont have internet at my apartment. but i'm house sitting at my mom's this weekend. so i haz an abundance of intrawebz |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2010 10:25am - ouchdrummer ""] hilarious. Although Earth Crisis definitely DID have big ol Laminates on when then played in the living room... and i had way too many pairs of JNCOs AND Nautica shirts... uuggghhhhhhh |

| _______________________________________________ [Jul 31,2010 5:35pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] I played 3 shows at The Rat. Ducky Boys and Dropkick Murphys opened for my band, THE NOTHINGS. We played with Toxis Narcotic,BLanks77 KENMORE SQUARE CIRCA 1995 OR GTFO |
| ________________________________ [Jul 31,2010 6:30pm - INSULT ""] We played the rat a ton of times, great room lots of good shows |
| _____________________________ [Jul 31,2010 7:55pm - HTR ""] I have a flyer of unearth opening for XFragmentX @ the Espresso Bar hidden away somewhere. I also have a DAT of Cave-In at The Space from 1998 2 weeks before their second album came out. Come to think of it I have a crap-load of old demos on tape including Driven's first demo. Driven was Blood Has Been Shed before they changed their name. |
| ________________________________________________ [Jul 31,2010 10:19pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] I saw a shitload of shows at the Rat. Too many to name, from 1994 till it closed |

Got to play there once with horrible Oi! band, exchanged many many punches in face with charming and coherent patrons. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 1,2010 12:33am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Oh, and the "Sergeant D" who wrote this thing is the same one from Metal Inquisition and Stuff You Will Hate; total douchenozzle, terrible taste in music and in life. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 1,2010 12:35am - Lamp ""] I knew I could count on you. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 1,2010 12:37am - DestroyYouAlot ""] M.O.D. and Toxic Narcotic with like NOBODY FUCKING THERE at the Rat, funnest show. For some reason Bill Toxic had a shop vac and was destroying the shit out of it for the amusement of like 5 patrons. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 1,2010 12:38am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Sometimes I think Bill only does Mouth Sewn Shut because he secretly misses when T.N. was like the most unpopular band in Boston. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 1,2010 12:40am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Also, did I mention "like"? |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 1,2010 8:11am - ouchdrummer ""] How about 6L6, w/Sam Black Church and Stompbox... hmmmmmmm |

I first saw TN at the Middle East upstairs with Bricklayer and a really young Converge back when they were stereotypical toughcore, before Bannon became a tattoo casualty. There was some mohawked fellow there who kept slamming to Bricklayer and was getting pumelled by the hardcore goons. That was my first club show, I think it was early 1993. Bill was handing out fliers outside for a show they were playing with Candy Striper Death Orgy and, I think, MELIAH RAGE! The Nothings ended up playing a show in Worcester with TN. One of there butch girl fans beat up one of our young male fans, that was awesome. |
