Acariya and other metalcore bands in manchester tonight[views:101400][posts:118]Rocko's (Manchester, NH) - [absence_of_the_sun][acariya][again_we_rise][arise_and_ruin][a_timely_demise][catharsis][chapter_50][ghost_of_a_fallen_age][randomshots] ______________________________________ [Feb 15,2008 6:36pm - the_reverend ""] I thought arise & ruin was playing, but I guess not. I wonder if this catharsis is THE catharsis who I thought broke up. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 15,2008 6:38pm - the_reverend ""] Arise and Ruin. Ghost of a Fallen Age, Absence of the Sun, Catharsis, A Timely Demise, Suffer Your Words and Again We Rise oh, arise and ruin is playing. nice. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 15,2008 8:05pm - the_reverend ""] chapter 50: this set of bands is way more their style than the first time I saw them. The kids from again we rise danced around for them. again we rise: wow, really young kids. A lot of the people in the audience were their family. They will robably get better. They seemed sort of unsure of themselves so im guessing haven't played many shows. a timely demise: how anyone wearing a bayside anything can question my sexuality is beyond me. Wearing a bayside shirt is second only to reaching under the stall next to you in a truck stop. I would have taken them up on the offer to steal their new guitar player, but then they would have to get another new one. they have gotten a lot better. I think the last time I saw them I said that they went more unearth and less zao. it is still far to say that same thing. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 15,2008 9:27pm - the_reverend ""] ghost of a fallen age: holy crap, that's one of the most surprising bands that I've seen in a long time. they totally stole the show. The singer re-introduced himself to me since the last time I saw him was sick as sin fest I think. The set was the best. This is exactly what I hoped the last FASSW CD would have been like. When they hit the stage, their equipment was so much louder and better than the previous bands. The singer, former FASSW fill in singer, casper, kept getting in the audience members faces and at one point riped a kid's shirt. He apologized And the kid said "it's ok, just give me a free arise and ruin shirt" "dude, i'm in ghost of a fallen age" Caser also gave me a new saying. Return to the pit "don't be a faggot about it" meaning that everyone should go to my site and look at the pictures from the show. And that's how I feel about it too. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 12:09am - the_reverend ""] too many pictures... |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 12:18am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Casper headbutt me and we almost fought while they were playing. Apparently he's had too much to drink on this tour. After the show, I went up to him and told him everything was a misunderstanding and everything was fine. The last thing I want to do is fight someone in a band that I like. Lame. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 12:36am - the_reverend ""] He basically said the head butt was a stupid thing and that your head is really hard. they seriously killed. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 12:42am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Did you get a pic of it?? |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 12:46am - the_reverend ""] they are processing really really slowly... you can see when they are up in a few minutes. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 12:53am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Aight cool. Yes, GOAFA did really awesome tonight. I'm gonna try and get them up here again, maybe in the summer when we have more open dates. |

Ok rev, 3 things 1. how can someone insult bayside when they have death cab for cutie on their ipod? 2. I wasn't questioning your sexuality, I was just informing everyone that you solicit young men for anal sex. 3. nice seeing you too. haha. |
| ____________________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 1:46am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Dang, what's taking so long, Rev? |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 2:51am - the_reverend ""] oops... I fell asleep. blame the cat. |

| ________________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 1:49pm - xmarksthespot ""] Chapter 50 was a big turn off for me. I heard them a while back and some what liked them, but seeing them and meeting them. I wish I hadn't. Their performance was weak and their attitudes afterwards was really shitty. They kissed ass to all the other bands and when someone not in a band of course came around they came off as really arrogant and cocky. You shouldn't do that to kids who are fans of your band. Again We Rise, like someone else said, really young kids! It was obvious they haven't played too many shows or even been playing in general for that long. Their performance was weak also, specificly the singer. They need to amp it up a bit. For their age, they were alright. More experience and I'll think they'll be much better. I'd like to seem them in a year or so. Ghost Of A Fallen Age was insane! The music was great, but the performance was a little over the top. While I love bands that act crazy and get in your face, they came off a little bit like douchebags. Though it could have been due to the fact that the singer was drunk, who knows. Either way this band was deffinitly one of the best. But Arise And Ruin was by far the best. Once again the music was great and the performance was insane also, but deffinitly not over the top. They interacted with the crowd and the crowd was eating it up, although there wasn't much of a crowd, which could have been due to a few other metal/hardcore shows going on in Manchester that night. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from this band. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 2:05pm - urinal turd ""] chapter 50 was a bunch of douche bags. they were ripping on the band after them because the bassist had a little combo amp when the guys in chapter 50 had full stacks that their parents probably bought them cuz they still had the tags on them. again we rise were young. that's pretty much all you can say about them. ghost of a fallen age was great. great songs and great performance. arise and ruin were pretty good. very entertaining. acariya was great too as usual. absence of the sun was a little painful. out of tune guitars and just kind of boring. catharsis.....terrible. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 3:27pm - keebinmonster ""] catharsis just started a few months ago. my old band (secada) played with them a few times. good guys. im good friends with the drummer. and by good friends i mean i live and have sex with him. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 4:15pm - the_reverend ""] I could see what people are saying about chapter 50 from the last time I asw them. they mentioned touring and stuff, but I had never heard of them. they had a different attitude at this show imho. arise and ruin: this was the reason I decided to hit this show. They were really good like I expected. Very heavy and had similar "in your face" moments like Ghost of a Fallen Age. If you thought they were slow, you'd be wrong. They were actually from canada, eh. Again, their equipment was a cut above the rest of the bands in the venue (all wireless no less). Very load. I would say they are a touch more hardcore-ish live than on CD. Probably why there was so much moshing. It is definitely hard to play after ghost, but they pulled it off. acariya: lots of people up front having fun with them. There was even a gang vocals part. These dudes might have had the most amount of actual audience memebers at this show. They played a bunch of songs that I knew from he demo and from other times seeing them playing. people piled up on the top of everyone too for their second to last song. absence of the sun: They got a new singer. the "out of tune" guitars I heard too, but I think that they were so rushed since the show was running late. Still not that bad of a band. The younger kids in the audience were really into it. catharsis: I think that the singer ms'd me the other week to say that he was in this new band. He was the best part of his old band. I remember seeing his old band in maine a while ago. They were a lot different from all the other bands on the bill. There were a few parts of their songs here I though it was a little empty and I thought "huh, there should be something more here" maybe another guitar track on a CD or something. I think that they will definitely be a lot better as time goes on, but I liked what I heard. they just need to polish it up a bit. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 8:43pm - xmikex ""] so this isn't Catharsis from CT from back in the day... |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 11:18pm - the_reverend ""] I forget which catharsis I thought it was... but whom ever it was, broke up. it's the one whose members when off to be in requiem |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 16,2008 11:51pm - A.J.-Vox-AWR ""] yeah i agree with you i really shouldve stepped up my intensity this show... this is the biggest event we have ever played, and we have only been a band for a short, short while. But there is no excuse... we couldve played alot better. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 17,2008 12:02am - the_reverend ""] you guys are young and unsure of yourself. but all bands were like that. I feel like a fool in front of people, but once you get past the self consciousness, you will be must better. the straight out of compton thing was hilarious. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 17,2008 2:37am - CatharsisVox ""] Hey thanks for the kind words rev. Yeah on the cd we have another guitar track and we're in the process of finding someone after tour. But yeah thanks again dude I really appreciate it, sick pictures to!!! |
| __________________________________ [Feb 17,2008 10:34am - mcmahon ""] we showed up for this around midnight after practice (no shit), but there was no sign of a metal show. |
| ____________________________________________ [Feb 17,2008 3:08pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Shows are usually over by 10:30 at Rocko's. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:08pm - Paul Patrick ""] As the Vocalist for Chapter Fifty, I appreciate Again We Rise and proudly consider them friends of 'the family' I wish other people would stop causing drama. The combo amp thing was a misunderstanding. If people would pay attention to how we actually are as people, we were going to offer AWR one of our amps to borrow for that show. In fact, one of that bands fathers were at that show and he thanked us for being considerate to his sons band. On a personal note, if people are going to waste time trying to start shit, than they obviously need to get a reality check. Because we are in this for the long haul and we work hard just like every other band in the area. We respect every single band in the state, and will/would play any show if asked. -Paul Patrick Chapter Fifty Vocalist 2/24/08 |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:17pm - Dan LaRocque ""] Hey for the asshole named Urinal turd, I havent seen a single member of my family since mothers day weekend 2006 thanks for being a fucking asshole, they didn't buy me shit for my equipment, I got the fucking cab the day before, and as for the whole tour issue, we are in New jersey right now on tour, I appreciate it. Dan - Chapter fifty |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:22pm - Paul Patrick ""] I apologize for our plans of touring being unknown to the world. We openly post them on our Myspace page. www.myspace.com/chapter50 as for the "attitude" people are speaking of, these accusations come as shock to us. we have always loved playing shows with any band in any area. We are a band that will play with any band of any genre or age, or experience level. Whether we're playing with a band on metal blade, or a band who just came out of the garage- disrespecting bands has never been something we have ever been about. As I post this reply we are currently on tour in New Jersey and are trying to spread our music to other areas other than the slightly decaying New Hampshire scene. Forgive us for writing music that isn't made for the mosh-pit professionals. |
| ____________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:26pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] The attitude you have is a holier than thou attitude, not just to bands but to fans. It's almost like you are above talking to your fans. I could be wrong but that was the vibe I got from you when we played with you in Gilford. I still like your music regardless. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:35pm - urinal turd ""] zzzzzzzzz.....you guys are dicks. i agree with ctb. i was talking with arise and ruin the whole night and they were so cool to me. one of the guys in acariya bought me a beer but you guys were a bunch of cocky assholes. you were acting like you were too good for the show which was funny for a band i had never even heard of. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:41pm - Tamandapants! ""] First, Chapter 50 played with a band on Friday February 22nd who wernt really ready because they had lost their drummer and were still working on it, and they supported them fully. If you dont like their music, don't listen, dosnt mean you have to sit here and bash every little thing about them. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:49pm - the_reverend ""] im not name dropping, but when I read the word "metalblade", I got a txt from a mb employee. as I said above I noticed a bit of attitude at the mark's, but noted that I didn't see it at this show. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:51pm - Dan LaRocque ""] First off we had to leave to get our van fixed before we played our show in long island the next night, secondly there was a mix up with the show we were put on last minute so we opened and we were cool with that, if you dont like us get over it honestly. As for you not hearing us thats awesome for you, I suppose that is why we are in Jersey right now, you know getting our name out, have a nice night. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:54pm - DieToLive4Ever ""] i met paul at the rockingham mall, not even knowing he was in a band. one of the greatest dudes i have met, and the music is amazing. dont go badmouthin them, it was probably just an off moment or misunderstanding |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:57pm - NateGREYCOURT ""] None of you have any idea how down to earth Chapter Fifty really are. I've played quite a few shows with them, and they hold respect for us as well as us to them. some people need to get the fuckin stump out of their ass and learn to take a fucking joke. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:59pm - lovestosplooge ""] Okay, first off, Chapter 50 are one of the nicest and most considerate bands out in our scene now. During every show I've ever seen them play, they always talk to every band, no matter if they've been in one for years or it was their first show, and they treat them with the utmost respect. As a friend of the band, I have never heard them bash any band when they were playing or any where else for that matter. And for all you douches who feel the need to talk shit for no apparent reason cause you're bored with your life, go jack-off and waste your time elsewhere. |

| ______________________________ [Feb 24,2008 8:03pm - sbk ""] sucks that no one gets along these days. what happened to the unity of it all? |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 8:07pm - Paul Patrick ""] i agree, I wish we could all just get along and enjoy making good memories with good music. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 8:08pm - DieToLive4Ever ""] rick roll woo! |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 8:19pm - anonymous ""] WOOOOWW first off, i know the guys of chapter 50 and they are the nicest guys around, there parents dont buy all there shit and you apparently have a huge pole jammed up your ass, the only reason i can think that you would get an attitude slightly from any of the guys is because your some fucking hardcore im so fucking cool kid who brags about how well he can pick up pennys in the middle of a wood floor. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 8:44pm - the_reverend ""] I am really impressed but the sheer number of ips posting here. tyically when you read things like this, all the defending posts are from the same ip. this thread isn't . |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 8:48pm - thegreatspaldino ""] quit recruiting knobs to come and defend you. you guys keep posting with their dongs deeply embedded in your pieholes, watch as everyone finds a way to care less and move on to something a lot cooler than whiny metalbore bands. |
