Locobazooka yea yea i know it's gay bla bla bla bla bla...... but![views:1615][posts:21]____________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 10:19am - subjugate ""] over a HUNDRED bands, at Fitchburg Airport on September 26! The show features these headliners: Saliva Shinedown Tesla Monster Magnet Tantric Dropbox Earshot Breaking Benjamin Crossfade Kittie Helmet Josh Todd (from Buckcherry) PLUS-A very special WAAF HARDER FASTER stage! And more to be added!! i think ya have to buy tickets and sell em to play and i am gonna try and see what the deal is amd how much but this could be a good thing for the metal scene in my opinion |
| _______________________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 10:42am - Lynnetoolazytologin ""] harder faster plays a lot of metalcore.... i got excited for like two seconds and then remembered it will prob suck |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 11:02am - Josh_hates_you ""] well helmet is awesome. i would love to see those guys again but not at this event. and i am weary about the new helmet shit since john strainer was one of my favorite drummers, i will have to wait and see how they are with john tempesta. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 11:41am - Jay TUS ""] Wow, this could be the worst one ever, unless this Harder Faster stage pans out... |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 11:46am - subjugate ""] i'm guessing that Kittie & Helmet would be the headliners for the harder fast stage but i could be wrong i look at it like this, its a way to get REAL metal to a wider audence!!! unless you all like to play to 10 to 30 people all the time |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 11:52am - Jay TUS ""] I was only talking about the crap like Saliva, Shinedown, Dropbox, Earshot, Breaking Benjamin, blah. I wouldn't mind seeing Tantric but that's about it there, and that is stretching it as much as I can. At least in the past they had some half way decently big bands on it that were remotely worth seeing, but this is such a pile of crap. But hey, if you can get on the show more power to you. Definitely. I'd never question anyone for wanting that kind of exposure, whether it be you getting the exposure or you exposing heavier music. Good luck with that... |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 11:52am - Josh_hates_you ""] if people are there for those other bands they wont give a flying fuck about "real" metal. they will use that time to get food instead. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 1:11pm - intricateprocess ""] helmet?what? has AAF ever played 1 of there songs? ever? lol id love to see them, but id rather not at locobazooka. guess im gonna have to deal with all the freakin mall goths hopefully the harder faster stage will be decent |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 1:31pm - Josh_hates_you ""] AAF used to and still does play UNSUNG by helmet. just like they play mother by danzig, and black #2 by type o, and only by anthrax. but none of their other songs. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 2:26pm - dreadkill ""] aaf used to play "like i care", and one day i heard them playing "exactly what you wanted" once on their lost and found contest. it was great hearing people call in and not know what the song was. helmet rules and i might have to go to this just for them. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 3:07pm - Robdeadskin ""] I would love to get on this! |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 17,2004 4:14pm - dread_104 ""] I wanna open for Tesla! Seriously. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 19,2004 8:56am - SUBJUGATE ""] i wouldn't mind playing this too but i won't buy tix to do it |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 19,2004 9:34am - RustedAngel ""] you'd want to play a show with saliva? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 19,2004 9:36am - SUBJUGATE ""] sure if it can get boe into ears that normally wouldn't hear it why not |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 19,2004 9:41am - RustedAngel ""] but it's not like saliva is metal in any way so think of how hard it would be to convert someone to liking death metal.. basically you'd be playing in front of people that go "you can't even understand what the singer is saying, why is he burping? anyone can do that!" on a side note: if suffocation played this show, I bet people would call them sellouts and pussies. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 19,2004 9:52am - SUBJUGATE ""] you gotta bring the lambs to the slaughter they won't go on their own eventually they are going to get tired of the stuff they are listening to they will need a sound to turn to i plan on being there when they turn |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 19,2004 10:01am - RustedAngel ""] I'd be much more worried abuot pleasing the death metal fans, than converting pop radio rock kids. To each his own I guess. Nu-metal kids, sure, but anything lighter is not worth the effort... some people are just not passionate about music. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 19,2004 10:11am - SUBJUGATE ""] i only care about pleasing me and my other band members anything else is icing on the cake you realize i have no clue what more than 1/2 those bands sound like i'd just like to play to wider audence range especially where as we hardly get and respect from people in our own style anyway being in the right place at the right time is 75% of the battle you know |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 19,2004 10:21am - WhyamIandasshole ""] I think the real issue here is TESLA. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 19,2004 10:24am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Monster Magnet is awesome. If a local metal band plays, I'd consider buying a ticket from them to see Monster Magnet. This thing might be worth it for some of the less extreme metal bands, Paranoid, Conifer, Ravage, Random Acts of Violence. I am not too sure about death or grind bands though, some of these pussy kids would probably have to be eased into stuff like that through thrash, southern rock, doom or heavy metal. Not to say those bands aren't heavy, butI think the vocals would have alot to do with it, like rusted angel pointed out 'this is dumb, you can't even understand what the hell he is saying'. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 20,2004 7:15am - SUBJUGATE ""] i guess it cost $6000 to play it and you get like 15min so much for even thinking about that http://www.baystaterock.com/phpBB2/viewtop...postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= |
