Metal in RI?[views:4552][posts:32]________________________________________ [Feb 18,2012 7:08pm - OccamsChainsaw ""] Considering a move to Providence in the next 6 months or so for work, but want to know if there are decent venues/bands/people that want to start bands or actually bother going to shows. The city itself looks busted as shit but if there's an ok music scene it might not be a waste of time. Discuss. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 18,2012 7:43pm - the_reverend ""] Onlyville looks more than busted, but it has tons of decent shows. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 18,2012 8:01pm - blue ""] There are far worse places that's for sure. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 18,2012 8:07pm - josh_hates_you ""] Providence rules. It definitely has the most bands and loud music per capita of any place. Not really a "metal" scene though. Doom, punk, grind, crust, noise. electronic, hardore, black metal etc. If you are looking for death metal, traditional metal or pizza thrash you are shit out of luck.

| _________________________________________ [Feb 19,2012 12:59am - josh_hates_you ""] There are actually much worse bands from the Providence area than GSS. Hard to believe I'm sure, but I'd rather see them than Absynthe or All for Blood if it came down to it. Here is PVD's premiere goth metal band.......... bennyhillifier In case you were wondering, yes the bass player is a tranny. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 19,2012 10:02am - gss fanski ""] Why is GSS hated so much I want to see real reasons why. I am talking I want to see them talking shit for no reason and playing horrible music. If that is the case I will hate them too. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 19,2012 10:20am - ghoulash nli ""] The truth is gss is a gimmicky band with socially awkward dudes who have taken internet trolling to a retarted level and most of us are just annoyed so we hate them for fun even though their new material really isn't all that bad. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 19,2012 10:22am - ghoulash nli ""] Josh, we don't have a metal scene but we do have a weekly metal night. |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 19,2012 10:42am - Bloblovesmusic ""] Always love going to providence for shows! Great bands, cool people, funky venues, chill atmosphere, like the city too! |
| _______________________________ [Feb 19,2012 10:56am - Lamp ""] It was very inconsiderate of the drummer of that goth band to put a hazmat placard on his drum kit when some trucker out there somewhere might have needed that someday. Harumph. |
| ____________________________________________ [Feb 19,2012 3:40pm - AndrewBastard NLI ""] oh my LOL bennyhillifier |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 19,2012 8:02pm - Punk potenza ""] wow i forgot bout that band. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 19,2012 11:39pm - Burnsy ""] Oh like occam's razor but more intense, I get it. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 20,2012 2:45am - Lamp nli ""] Another craptastic RI band that may give you folks some lulz is Prayers For Atheists, a RATM-style rock/rap band fronted by a "professional protester" person. I went to high school with their drummer too. Seriously some of the worst shit I've ever heard. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 20,2012 2:58am - josh_hates_you ""] I didnt mention prayers for athiests cause i forgot they existed and they are not terrible if you are into that sort of music and they have some non rap punk jams that are ok ish. A hip hop inspired group led by a spoken word artist on strange famous records owned by sage francis makes sense. Scare Don't Fear however...........ugh. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 20,2012 4:09am - Lamp ""] josh_hates_you said:I didnt mention prayers for athiests cause i forgot they existed and they are not terrible if you are into that sort of music Music for terrible people. The only reason I even know of this band's existence is because for reasons completely unknown to me that I'll probably never understand, they get a lot of support from the Riotous Outburst kids. Oh well. Oh yeah, and the fact that the drummer of this band is a kid I went to high school with who did a complete 180 in personality/beliefs... in the earlier years of HS, he actually used to be quite hateful and racist, especially bizarre when you take into account he's a Venezuelan immigrant. |

| ________________________________ [Feb 20,2012 11:24am - yummy ""] Jared Paul is a pretty intelligent guy, never cared much for his band though. Guess it doesn't say much when you'd rather hear what he has to say between the songs. I saw him open a spoken word Jello Biafra show. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 20,2012 11:39am - yummy ""] Whatever happened to Hogg? |

| ________________________________ [Feb 20,2012 11:52am - yummy ""] No clue. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 20,2012 1:00pm - richard simmons ""] that chick lead singer in Absynthe is HAWT! |

Maybe you could ask him if he does. I'm gonna go Newbury Comics and if he's working I'll ask him if he's still working there. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 20,2012 1:37pm - Lamp ""] ASK NEWBURY COMICS IF THEY CARRY THE HOGG CD AT NEWBURY COMICS ASK THEM IF IT IS TRUE THEIR FIRST GUITARIST CLAIMED WHILE DRUNK AFTER PLAYING A HOUSE SHOW IN SOUTH KINGSTOWN THAT THEY HAD A TOTALLY ORIGINAL SOUND AND WERE LIKE NO OTHER BAND EVER BEFORE ASK THEM IF MISSPELLING PORK PRODUCTS IS COOL ASK HOGG IF THEY WANT TO PLAY BOGGLE |
| _______________________________ [Feb 20,2012 1:55pm - yummy ""] So, you're saying I should bring up the Hogg thing...? |
| ______________________________ [Feb 20,2012 2:27pm - Lamp ""] Ask Hogg about their collection of Poggs |
| __________________________________ [Feb 20,2012 3:39pm - Ghoulash ""] i have not seen mikey from hogg in a while but i do know how to get a hold of him if need be. |
| _______________________________________________ [Feb 21,2012 5:05pm - IllinOisEnemaBradness ""] SO You know how to get a hold of Hogg, eh? |
| ______________________________ [Feb 21,2012 6:11pm - Lamp ""] I know how to hold my Hogg |
