| _____________________________ [May 8,2005 9:18pm - wade ""] i'm committed to shoot the 1st 10 minutes of the Mars Volta in Worcester but I'd like to catch at least Cephalic (seein how I missed 'em Friday) so Joe, if you could even approximate when the headliners will play, I can sort of form a strategy...TMV show starts at 8 and there's only one other act I know of on that bill so I'm thinking my chances are pretty decent. |
| ___________________________________ [May 8,2005 9:38pm - Al Ravage ""] Fuck Mars Volta, this is Cryptic Warning we're talking about... Cephalic blah blah... we know who the REAL headliner is... Cryptic Warning is going to kick some ass (and they'd better not change their name after this show or they're dead) |
| _____________________________ [May 8,2005 9:58pm - wade ""] yeah yeah. i actually am committed to do that (mars volta) and cephalic are my friends. just looking for some info. you don't like TMV so I assume you're not going. good for you. |
| _________________________________________ [May 9,2005 9:34am - WhyamIandasshole ""] Tonight! |
| ______________________________________ [May 9,2005 9:47am - Joe/NotCommon ""] What time is Mars Volta on? I'd say Cephalic Carnage will be hitting the stage around 11:30 |
| _______________________________________ [May 9,2005 11:05am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I want hot dogs |
| ________________________________________ [May 9,2005 11:39am - KillerKadoogan ""] i bet you do |
| _______________________________________ [May 9,2005 11:40am - Joe/NotCommon ""] You know I do |
| ____________________________________ [May 9,2005 11:40am - Al Ravage ""] Fuck em... fuck mars volta... cryptic warning is playing... where's my BOUR-BON!?! |
| _______________________________________ [May 9,2005 11:41am - Joe/NotCommon ""] who the hell is mars volta? |
| ____________________________________ [May 9,2005 11:57am - Al Ravage ""] I don't know... fuck em... who the hell cares |
| ___________________________________ [May 9,2005 11:57am - W3 nli ""] Joe/NotCommon said:who the hell is mars volta? your favorite new band ! |
| _______________________________________ [May 9,2005 11:58am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I am gonna skip my show to catch Mars Volta at the Gayladdium |
| ____________________________________ [May 9,2005 12:20pm - Al Ravage ""] All I know is that the globe did a piece the other day heralding the return of high brow 70's style prog rock with the ascent of bands like Mars Volta and Queens of The Stone age... and I just laughed at how misguided and worthless the globe art section is... they should have Dean Koontz do the music reviews... couldn't be any worse... of course he once refferred to Pearl Jam as a 'far out heavy metal band' in one of his novels... but at least the reviews would be rife with voodoo demons, bad hackneyed sex scenes and veiled refferences to Christian mythology. |

| ___________________________________ [May 9,2005 5:53pm - Al Ravage ""] Bah... the excuses... you'd all better go...this is cryptic warning...cryptic warning is in the building! I'm getting pretty psyched, I haven't seen the band in a while... I'm even more psyched than I was for the big Ruin gig, because my hype hasn't been dampened by them having a new singer nor nuthin'..this is cryptic warning...vintage...and all must be there! Actually Phil might die after doing a double set of random acts and cryptic... I don't know if that has happened yet...novelty all around... be there...or be broads! |
| ___________________________________ [May 9,2005 5:53pm - Al Ravage ""] Furthermore... WHERE'S MY BOURBON!?! |

| _______________________________________ [May 10,2005 8:05am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Abhorred started at 9:15 and easily played to 100 people, and the crowd just got bigger as the night went on. Everything went great, and the soundguy did a phenomenal job the whole night. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2005 8:55am - shatteredliz ""] Great show! I know a guy who only came for Cephallic and had never heard of the opening bands, but loved them all and now wants to come to their other shows. Isn't that how this thing is supposed to work? Maybe one day we'll actually have people at local shows who aren't in bands! |

| ____________________________________ [May 10,2005 9:15am - paganmegan ""] The sound for each band was as good or better than I have ever heard, the sound guy did great, not to mention the bands themselves. Cryptic warning are the most amazing techinical thrash! I've seen them before, but last night they just sounded awesome, and I was especially impressed |
| _________________________________ [May 10,2005 9:21am - soloman ""] Great show joe! Good bands, good turnout, and I was wasted. Last night was an awesome time. |

| ___________________________________________ [May 10,2005 10:56am - WhyamIandasshole ""] The show was awesome. All the bands rocked. |
| _____________________________________ [May 10,2005 11:00am - Al Ravage ""] Abhorred - I was impressed, good mix of death and old school thrash riffs, lots of energy and very entertaining. They were one of the highlights of the night. Random Acts - Put on a good, but short set. The highlight once again was the Phil-a-bustin' instrumental "Tom Selleck". I was dissapointed that they didn't play "Unleashing" and also... when they kicked into their cover of "Return Of the Warlord" I was pissed because I thought it was "The Gods Made Heavy Metal" and that is a superior song...which has the same exact intro..and verse...and chorus...anyway entertaining stuff Cryptic Warning - put on a good show... I was pissed that they continue to forsake the "Snakestrike"... what the hell? But... I can't totally blame them because they had a short set...they got cut off without an encore at their cd release show... lame... soopa lame. I tried to band together some drunks to start a "War-ning" chant but by then they had turned up Rush on the PA...soopa lame. Cephalic Carnage - at this point I was not in the mood for any more bands no matter what they were, so my judgement of them would be somewhat biased, but I couldn't get into them. Sometimes I'm in a mood for this sort of thing, but by the end of last night, definitely not. We stayed because they are one of Metalguy's favorite bands and I was driving everyone around, but I wasn't really into them at all. There were some amusing parts...especially the singer's rants in between the songs... and I liked some of their stoner rock elements, but overall, not my thing. |
| _______________________________ [May 10,2005 11:19am - cdan ""] fun show. cryptic ripped it up, so metal. cephalic was fantastic as always. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2005 11:48am - RustedAngel ""] rad show, RAOV pwned. CW, dave is still a fret burner. I wasn't too impressed with the sound throughout the night. Cephalic had the worst sound, it just sounded like a wall of noise and the vocals were hardly audible. I moved around to about 5 different locations with no luck. The VHS tape I have of them the last time they played the Mideast even sounds better. |
| _____________________________________ [May 10,2005 12:33pm - PatMeebles ""] RAOV's guitar's could've been just a little louder. Other than that, it was good. And Dave's sound was sooooooooo good. Maybe he should ditch the JCM 800 and go with an exact replica of Hooker's setup. Also, if I had known that I wouldn't have been thrown out for moshing I would done something more energetic than stand there like a douchebag. |
