| _____________________________________________ [Jun 10,2004 4:06pm - theundergroundscene ""] AXIS??? |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 10,2004 4:20pm - JellyFish ""] yeah i know, thats totally unexpected. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 10,2004 4:28pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] sworn enemy is even gayer, what a gay tour |
| ___________________________________________________ [Jun 10,2004 7:12pm - attendmyrequiem @ school ""] Yes, i'll be at Axis that day |
| _________________________________ [Jun 10,2004 7:42pm - Soloman ""] wow that is unexpected. I can't wait until my band is all over headbanger's ball so that I can play huge venues like Axis. Well I'd like to check out mastodan, so i might go. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 10,2004 7:56pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] check out mastodon at the suffocation show at the palladium, that way you won't have to see the homo-eroticism that is sworn enemy, though at the suffocation show you will get to see the latest onslaught of scott lee's nu-core army |
| _________________________________ [Jun 10,2004 8:44pm - Soloman ""] yeah i'm not interested in sworn enemy at all. Don't get me wrong I love old school homo-eroticism, but sworn enemy isn't old school homo. They are more of that new school homo-erotica. Which is okay, but I just don't get it. But i'll go to axis because palladium is too far for this spic without a car. |
