and so do the duck duck goosing pussies that were at the cynic show, doing a wave in the front row.

Waaaaaait a minute. I havent seen that kid in years. Was it the kid that had the Opeth back patch with skulls all around it?
Of course, skulls come to mind when I hear Opeth...SM:10

Is this the knucklehead that doesn't even look old enough to drive that is always at the palladium wearing corpse paint no matter what band is playing?
[Nov 10,2011 8:45am - KEVORD ""]
That's him. It's actually more the fact someone made an Opeth backpatch more than the actual kid.

Corpsepaint kid came to party at the red chord show and delivered. Y'all be hatin.

Don't want your hair in your make-up? Shave your head and stop being a Juggalo.

FUCK that kid. I nearly fell over laughing when I saw that. I saw him at the Pavilion in Boston during Megadeth in 2007 or so, and never saw him again. My hipster gf at the time got mad at me for judging him.
[Nov 10,2011 8:55am - timma ""]
Wait...people stil listen to Opeth?
[Nov 10,2011 8:55am - KEVORD ""]
If you've chosen Opeth as the patch to represent you in life you should be judged and booed constantly.
[Nov 10,2011 9:00am - arilliusbm ""]
Let's face it: we all did goofy stuff as young uns, myself included. But this shit is outrageous and tramples on what metal represents.
You got the people who have the valid argunent "stop caring about other people, it's about the music maaaaan" but alas, metal is more than music. It's a subculture that is losing its value and decency with the new fans.
I wont rant about this again, but these kids are a horrible representation of metal's unwritten laws on being a social counter/sub culture. In reality, it doesn't REALLY matter, but if someone truly cares about metal and how it's drastically changed, then awesome.
But don't listen to me, I work a yuppie job and dont do patches. I was always a band shirt guy.

B b but half the point of corpsepaint is getting your greasy hair stuck in the paint all over your forehead, it adds to the aesthetic, UGH even Alexandre Herchcovitch understood that.
I bet he doesn't even do his waterlines
[Nov 10,2011 9:13am - Mark_R ""]
was it at least a pre-Blackwater Park patch?
[Nov 10,2011 9:15am - arilliusbm ""]
From what I remember, homemade with skulls. Wasnt the real logo either.
[Nov 10,2011 9:18am - KEVORD ""]
The patch in question had candles and skulls or some shit. But not cool skulls queer prog skulls.
[Nov 10,2011 9:20am - HeavensJail_nli ""]
The patch in question was the Ghost Reveries cover. As someone who's spent far too much time stabbing themselves in the fingers building his jacket, I try not to judge anyone who actually goes out and builds their own, but I'm still unsure of the logical leap between "I'm going to build a kutte" and "I'm going to build it around an Opeth backpatch".
[Nov 10,2011 9:25am - Alx_Casket ""]
By criticizing someone who made their own jacket, aren't you all being equally egregious as the style police? Metal is MAINLY about the music, and all this subculture talk is subjective. As I see it, most of the culture encourages inside-the-box thought and not worth your valuable time anyway.
@posbleak: I am STILL looking for decent product for my waterlines.

But if Rttp is not mocking someone or something its boring as shit.

While all this may be true, it is still more enjoyable to make fun of dorks.

Precisely. Mocking and bullying are the foundations of RTTP.

Nothing wrong with being style police.

is it too late to make an xxxxxOnxBrokenxWingsxxXxxx1 butt flap? are they still really hip and "down with it"?
[Nov 10,2011 9:36am - arilliusbm ""]
I more or less post mere opinions for the sake of discussion, and try to take in all others' opinions on the same subject matter. not flip-flopping per se, just discussing. Everyone has the right to speak their mind, and most rttp people usually don't unless provoked. Hence, threads with extreme opinions (duck duck goose, ghost, dream theater, lol@nebm facebook, etc. etc.) and subsequent ease of tone as more discuss

If you go to shows at the Palladium, you deserve whatever bullshit you see before you.

If it's not OK to be the style police anymore then you'll have to excuse me while I self-immolate
Also if you want your waterlines done right this is the only shit that's real:

yeah but the palladium is like the only place that constantly gets the tours and has a decent sound system (mainly upstairs), as well as space, parking (r.i.p. the free lot on the side), and is pretty easy to get to. i would have put sausages, but its been a long time since i have been there and an even longer time since i have seen the sausage dude there.
[Nov 10,2011 9:43am - Lamp ""]
The Palladium is a venue designed to attract young n00bz and outright posers. It's a huge place and probably has huge rent to pay, and having only "true" metalheads isn't gonna pay the bills. Of course you're going to have tons of douchebags who throw up the horns to get attention and listen to shitty bands and just generally fart up the joint.
Only not wasting your time seeing bands there is real.

This kind of reminds me of another problem I have with metal... the true fans of the genre are much more likely to give a washed up band the benefit of the doubt. So Cynic and Mayhem and what not get booked there... these bands put out their best material close to or over two decades ago. I mean, if you go to these shows then maybe you'll get a decent performance, maybe the bands will even sound okay, but it's just not the personal experience you get at a smaller show. As much as I liked seeing Ghoul there a few weeks ago, I know that show would have been a thousand times better if a different setting. Same thing with seeing Municipal Waste for the first time at Lupo's and then having much more fun seeing them at places like the Living Room and Volume 11 Tavern in Raleigh that don't have the barrier and aren't massive places (though you could easily accuse both of those places of the same things I've said about the Palladium, I suppose)...
I'm about to Aril myself, so I'm just gonna stop right here.

i generally hate seeing bands downstairs at the palladium, but ive never really been disappointed with upstairs events. sound cuts through much better up there and its small enough to feel "intimate" while being large enough to feel like you're at some place thats not someones parents' basement. i love being able to hear everything more so than having the band's chin sweat drizzle into my gaping asshole. if i wanted to not hear anything but treble, i would just crank the left side of my EQ on winamp, and lower the mid and right side to -400000000000.
[Nov 10,2011 10:05am - Lamp ""]
I will say one of the things I like about going to small shows is seeing a consistent, dedicated crew of folks that you know are there for the right reasons... I'd imagine it's what being a regular at a bar is like, only people are creating stuff instead of just sitting around drinking.
