That's what I'm saying. And the Armageddon shows are few and far between and never anything I am personally into. |
| ____________________________________ [May 22,2007 3:47pm - RichHorror ""] Boston has more good bands [bands that I like, anyway]. Providence has a better and tighter-knit scene. FACT. |
| _____________________________ [May 22,2007 3:51pm - pam ""] Yeah, if you like Rockabilly and MahiMahi. |
| ____________________________________ [May 22,2007 3:54pm - RichHorror ""] No, there are a ton of metal/hardcore/punk rock shows that have good support there. They're just in the way underground thanks to Great White. Also, you mostly go to shows your husband's band is playing or some big national tour. Providence has less easy venues, therefor they stick together more and work more so that the shows can take place. People in Boston cry because a beer is a dollar more than they want to spend. |

| _______________________________ [May 22,2007 9:35pm - yummy ""] The show in Pawtucket (not Providence) with I Destroyer, Four Horse, Sin of Angels, The White Mice, and Jucifer was a good time. Also the show with La Fraction, Mass Grave, Man the Conveyors, and Lolita Black. Providence may not be better but I can think of a couple awesome shows in the last month. |
| ______________________________ [May 22,2007 9:47pm - Lamp ""] RichHorror said:Providence has a better and tighter-knit scene. FACT. Yes, this is true. That's my basis for thinking Providence is better anyway, because Boston bands play down here plenty. I've seen Mind Eraser and Scapegoat in Providence and those are the two I like the most, your band's playing here on Sunday, it's all good. pam said:Yeah, if you like Rockabilly and MahiMahi. There is no rockabilly around here unless you count Sasquatch and the Sick-a-billys which I believe nobody cares about. I don't like Mahi Mahi on CD but their shows are always a fun time and they're nice guys. |

The Direct Control/Strung Up show that happened back in September was fucking PACKED. Probably because Dropdead was on the bill but still. If there is one problem I have with the types of bands/people in Providence is that there isn't really anybody into powerviolence which is my favorite of the punk subgenres. I've got nothing against seeing crusty bands, flat out hardcore bands, whatever metal bands we have, they're all a fun time, but there's few bands that really pack that punch for me here. The closest I could think of that we have around would be Third Death and Suffering Bastard. Come to a Dropdead show sometime in Providence, you'll see the room filled to the brim. As far as which is better? I don't even care too much, really. Just gotta represent mah l0cal $cene, y'allz. |
| _____________________________________ [May 22,2007 10:10pm - RichHorror ""] Yes, a Dropdead show in PVD is easily the most insane thing you will ever witness in your life. |
| _____________________________________ [May 22,2007 10:14pm - RichHorror ""] I wish we played PVD punk shows more, but nobody wants to book us because I say 'fag', apparently. |
| ________________________________ [May 22,2007 10:15pm - yummy ""] correct. |
| _______________________________ [May 22,2007 10:16pm - Lamp ""] I'd book your band if I had the means to do it, you fucking cock-assed fag. |
| _____________________________________ [May 22,2007 10:19pm - RichHorror ""] haha, I know. People need to learn to listen to the context. I dunno, I find 'haha, you fag' a little less offensive than 'I hate all faggots and wish they were dead'. |
| _____________________________________ [May 22,2007 10:28pm - RichHorror ""] Oh, I thought of the simplest way to explain why PVD has it's good points. Boston doesn't have its own version of Bob Otis, and probably never will. ENDATHREAD |
| _______________________________ [May 22,2007 10:44pm - Lamp ""] I can't even think of anyplace where you would put a venue like Redrum in Boston, that place was the best. |
| _____________________________________ [May 22,2007 10:47pm - RichHorror ""] We almost got to play, but then I thought I was moving and then shit hit the fan with Redrum. Fucking shame. |
| ______________________________________ [May 23,2007 12:42am - Mike_Giallo ""] Providence does have way better venues for sure. I say the amount of good bands are about equal. |
| _____________________________________________ [May 23,2007 12:47am - todayistheday nli ""] how can you even compare the amount of good bands? boston has a fuckload more/a much better scene/history....lol at comparing providence to boston in the first place...get your head out of your ass |
| ______________________________________ [May 23,2007 12:49am - Mike_Giallo ""] I'm talking about bands that are around today, not the bands from Boston that used to be around. If we're doing that then Boston wins hands down/ |
| _______________________________ [May 23,2007 3:19am - Craig ""] Excuse me, but who gives a shit? I have seen amazing, life changing shows in both cities. Boston and Providence are sister cities. My only issue with touring bands hitting Providence and not Boston is that Providence and Rhode Island in general is much more car oriented so therefore the ability to get to shows if they are a distance away is made easier. For the majority of people that I know in Boston, a public transportation based metro-area, it becomes much harder to get to Providence for shows based on the lack of transportation. With that said, I always am very happy when a bunch of Providence people make it up to any show I am involved with in Boston. I also love hitting up a Providence show when it is possible for me to do so and I hope to make it down to Providence for a show again very soon. |

Unless you count the DROPDEAD, VOORHEES, COPS & ROBBERS, XFILESX show at el dangeroso in NB, which was the fucking craziest show Ive ever been to |
| ____________________________________ [May 23,2007 7:41am - RichHorror ""] I back that. I remember when my hometown had good shows, a million years ago. |

| ______________________________ [May 23,2007 2:30pm - Lamp ""] 230 Oak was shut down after like, two months. |
| ____________________________________________ [May 23,2007 2:32pm - todayistheday nli ""] oh well..... |
| ______________________________ [May 23,2007 2:37pm - Lamp ""] That's a GOOD thing that place got shut down, not because of the venue itself but because of all the shitty shows that were getting booked there. |
| ____________________________________________ [May 23,2007 2:39pm - todayistheday nli ""] what venue was it? 230 oak sounds familiar...not sure if I ever went there though |
| ____________________________________________ [May 23,2007 2:42pm - todayistheday nli ""] oh its a providence venue? why would I be mad about it getting shut down? |
