| ______________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 9:36pm - the_reverend ""] the most confusing part of this thread is that $1500+$1700=$2700. that really cofuses me to the point of not reading past there. but dudes, go or don't go, this festival will still sellout like it does every year. this year there is A lot less "bullshit" music than other years. there are a lot more "surprises" in the line up that are really fucking awesome. yes the price for all 3 days is a little much when you look at it, but at least it's not just the same shadowsfall line up that used to happen every year. I think this is a very strong year. and the whiners will always find a reason to bitch about this shit. do me a favor, go to milwaukee metal fest and then come back and tell me nemhf sucks. you want the worst fest ever.. "treat" you sell to mmf. worst thing ever. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 9:38pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Trouble are fucking legends, are you telling me the band playing the Fest is another, with the same name? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Shouldn't they be called "The Trouble"? |

"treat" you sell to mmf. worst thing ever. Let's be fair though. Some of the earlier Milwaukee metalfests (late 80s, early 90s) were absolutely phenomenal, with kickass lineups. They suck today (I agree). Also, you have to give Koshick credit, as scummy as he may be, he kept doing them even during the 'dead years' of metal (early to mid 90s). Metal is doing extremely well now, and New England is one of its hotspots, so of course a fest like the NEMHF is going to be successful. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 9:40pm - the_reverend ""] I'm not sure which trouble this is... there are 3 troubles I can think of. the trash metal on, the metal one, and the old school hardcore one. I think the hardcore one is the only one still around. I've seen their name on things lately. |

I think the hardcore one is the only one still around. I've seen their name on things lately. The doom metal Trouble is back together, from what I've heard. Which is why I originally believed it was them playing the NEMHF :( I lose... If there's a way to confirm this though....someone please do. It might make a difference whether I drop $30-odd bucks to go see one of the days. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 9:49pm - KeithMutiny ""] Im willing to bet its not "The Trouble" from Boston. but then again, you never know, they been talking about a reunion for a while, and bridge nine just re released thier cd last summer... but i guessing its more the metal, trouble. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 9:51pm - KeithMutiny ""] and death threat... thats not the powerviolence skater west coat death threat is it? or is it the local death threat? |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 9:57pm - thewrldcanwait ""] Honestly, I'm on the Reverend's side. This fest isn't that bad at all, and just because you actually have to pay a little bit of money people are getting all upset. If one day is only 40 bucks, that's way less than some shitty Ozzfest tickets or even something good, like Slayer tickets. So maybe the local bands you see for 5 or 10 bucks are for ONE DAY going to cost you 3 or 4 times more, think of all the big names from all over the damn world that are playing at this thing. If it's too much, suck it up and wait til you can see your favorite bands at a shitty local club for 5 or 10 bucks again. |

| ______________________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 10:06pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I say it's business as usual. If you like a lot of the bands, it's worth the asking price. If not, don't go. The Palladium is paying for it, and they pick the bands. That is the reality. Life goes on. I think 'boycotting' it is just stupid, it's not like it's mandatory to attend the NEMHC Fest. I've always wanted to do a large fest, though not of this scale, I did put on one Stormfest way back in 1999 in the Lawrence mill of all fucking places. I think I'd aim for a higher % of black, death, doom, thrash, and speed metal, but that's just my preference. Some of my band are going to try our hands at some booking coming up, so we'll see where that leads. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 10:07pm - the_reverend ""] when I was talking "troubles" the metal trouble was the doom metal one. I was thinking the one of nemhf was the hardcore one since I thought they actually were doing a reunion (since panic is also doing reunions) |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 10:09pm - slowlypeelingtheflesh ""] im gonna wait until the schedule is posted and then see if I wanna go. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 10:21pm - BornSoVile ""] The Trouble (Boston) was and still is one of the most important bands in my life. I have all the 7"s and Nobody Laughs Anymore's original press on GMM. I think the only show they played outside of new england was the GMM Beer Olympics in Atlanta. Fuck it, I'm putting the Crime and Punishment slab on right now. WE ARE THE BLOOD!!! I <3 You Keith. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 10:26pm - KeithMutiny ""] SATURDAYS... KIDS... NOTHIN ELSE TOO DO... WASTED YOUTH! haha, fuckin right. and yes, I was at thier last show at the greek american club in central square in the summer of 99. The nazi skins showed up and started a fight and the cops busted it and started arresting everybody. Ducky boys played, anti-hero, and patriot never got to go on... that was a fun show though, it was fuckin packed. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 1:06pm - BlackoutRick ""] Hypersolid is on the fest. Awesome for those guys!!! Buddys of ours. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 1:20pm - davefromthegrave ""] BornSoVile said:holy shit, i can't believe ATR isn't playing! atari teenage riot? I actually wanna see them. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 11:53am - i_am_not_me ""] ...and I just now notice that Tom's favorite amp company is sponsoring this year. Or "presenting". Whatever. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 12:00pm - succubus ""] atr=all that remains |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 12:01pm - the_reverend ""] I saw most of atari teenage riot (with out the carl crack, even though he was still alive) and it sucked. it sucked so bad that I left. Alex Empire can suck a dick. he was all painted green. All I wanted was merbow to come out and play and I couldn't take it anymore so I left. |

It might make a difference whether I drop $30-odd bucks to go see one of the days. They are, I saw the doom-Trouble in Ohio, although it was a couple years ago. That'll be terrible if it's some less-worthy Trouble. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 25,2006 12:46pm - pam ""] I'm happy All That Remains isn't playing, I'm sick of taking pictures of that fucks huge nostrils. That band sucks out loud. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 1:29pm - davefromthegrave ""] dreadkill said:i would go to this if tom jones headlined. the rev needs to take pics of a tom jones show sometime. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 1:32pm - dreadkill ""] i wanted to see tom jones, but that fuck charges way too much for tickets. |

| __________________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 1:35pm - davefromthegrave ""] haah, i want to se goat horn real bad. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 27,2006 9:39pm - mOe nli ""] i was pretty nonchalant about this fest until Suicide Silence got added today... so now i HAVE TO go i'm pumped |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 27,2006 9:46pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] oh my god, no way. yeah who cares. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 27,2006 10:15pm - mOe nli ""] yea, Suicide Silence is this band from CALI that i've been fiending to see since i first heard em. Their EP is brutal shit. I mean, they're no Throwing Shrapnel but who is. IF we gauged everything by that we wouldnt listen to anything. Not even Throwing Shrapnel. |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 27,2006 10:57pm - dreadkill ""] i'm still holding out hope for tom jones to headline this. if he doesn't, i definitely won't go. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 27,2006 11:02pm - Cav ""] i checked out suicide silence the other day...i liked em a lot...everyone else in my band bashed em. thanks for being on my side moe |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 27,2006 11:07pm - brian_dc ""] every song just sounds the same to me....they're not bad. I just don't get all the buzz. Oh and the drummer inexplicably wears a mask. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 27,2006 11:14pm - Cav ""] overcast just got added |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 28,2006 12:17am - kessaris ""] The Scenester: Well you know something dude, I travelled to the highest balconies. I travelled to the lowest mosh pits. I've been through the sweatiest basements and the most crowded merch tables. But you know something brother, when I hear that there is a bicker going on on a RTTP thread, well I just gotta call it out DUDE! You know, it's been a long time for the Scenester. For years we have dominated the shows we have gone to by coming our hair over and wearing the tightest, cheapest clothes money can buy...for the third or 4th time. I don't know where I was going with this, but I mean...come on. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 28,2006 12:19am - brian_dc ""] I am curious what you would be like if wrestling had never touched your life. |
