Thursday night March 2nd OVER KILL/CSDO/CROTALUS and others.......[views:20591][posts:75]Mark's Showplace (Bedford, NH) - [candy_striper_death_orgy][crotalus][heretic_hybrid][overkill][randomshots][recognizer][the_henchmen] ______________________________________ [Mar 4,2006 12:43pm - the_reverend ""] oh, the club really does have potential. they just need to get a sound/acustic engineer in there and not just daddy's junk music. don't you remember the sound guy saying a bunch of times if you want to hear it, you have to go in front of the stage. he said this to all the people bitching about the vocals on the side. I spoke to the bartender, nicole, who runs their website/myspace and she said that they were working on dropping $15K on a sound system for that place. |

| ____________________________________________ [Mar 4,2006 12:55pm - bowelskinfacecloth ""] somehow i don't think exodus will pack em in |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 4,2006 1:25pm - anonymous ""] I dunno about Exodus, people may not travel since they're at the metalfest a few days earlier. As far as the sound it may not be great but anything is better than the echo chamber Palladium. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 4,2006 1:44pm - the_reverend ""] um... I don't know about her tits. I only briefly spoke to her about pictures. she was the brtender. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 4,2006 3:07pm - Crotalus - Steve ""] Mark's is still a bit new when it comes to holding shows with national acts. Give em a bit of time, and shit will likely get better. Out of the hundreds of shows I've played, whether it's with Blistered Earth, Crotalus, or Frozen....Mark's is DEFINITELY one of the better stages/systems to play on. However, it's imperative you get your OWN soundguy. Every band I play with uses the same dude, and it's proven to be a saving grace time and time again. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 4,2006 3:43pm - MetalcoreSUCKS ""] the_reverend said:wtf are you guys talking about the sound being killer there. last night, the only sound was only killer if you were 10 ft out from the front of the stage. until overkill, the monitors were really working and when anyone asked to turn them up, he couldn't. when eric asked, he did and they sounded like a wall of noise. during most of the bands, the mix was terrible. the speakers that were on the stage were moved to the floor. this would have been awesome if we heard from our feet. this leaves the only other speakers aimd at our ears to be the ones on the cieling 10 feet back from the stage. at sonata arctica, the sound was good but the speakers were up on the stage. the club rents the speakers from daddys or where ever. they don't own their own system so they just get whatever from the rent place. Of course the sound is gonna be lousy for the opening bands.Its always like that.But CSDO sounded fine to me |

Go and support Exodus.Their one of the best old school Thrash bands of all time.Why blow the $$ on the ridicolous ticket price to see them at the palladium when u can see them at Marks for cheaper.Plus they'll play a longer set there. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 4,2006 4:37pm - the_reverend ""] I bet you will bitch that exodus didn't play enough old school tracks off their new CD. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 4,2006 6:30pm - MetalcoreSUCKS ""] I really dont like sweaty guys bumping into me at shows when Im near the stage.Thats why I could care less if theres moshing or not.If u wanna boycott this club then go for it.I know Ill be there on May 1st for Exodus. PIRANA!!!!!!! |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 4,2006 6:32pm - bowelskinfacecloth ""] i think you don't wanna get hurt |
| __________________________________________________ [Mar 6,2006 2:18am - CANDY STRIPER DEATH ORGY ""] I got the final word from Bernie (promoter from New England concerts) on how many people that paid to get in....... It was a little over 220. Plus bands and crews, add another 30 to 40 people. |

It was a little over 220. Plus bands and crews, add another 30 to 40 people. I didnt get to the club until 10 that night(difficult place to find) and there were no more than 100 people there at that time.I hate it when the opening bands bring their friends, then they leave after their done playing.Thats so GAY!!!!!! |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 6,2006 9:36am - HUNGERoftheUNDEAD ""] I got there late, due to being 2 hours away and having to drive up in a snow storm. Missed all the openers aside from the last 3 or 4 CSDO tunes. CSDO sounded great as always...really tight. Overkill sounded great as well, but the lack of RELIX material aside from "old school" which is total ass, was dissapointing. I also wish these guys would play more FTF and TO material. They also need to drop Rotten, Elimination and Gutter forever. Enough's enough. That was my 16th Overkill show in 19+ years. I dont want to hear those songs ever again. As far as the No mosh rule goes, at nearly 36 years of age, I could really give a shit, but its a stupid rule that will no doubt eventually spell the end for this place, but until then, Ill be there whenever there's a band worthy of driving 2 hours to see ie; EXO-DETH on 5/1. As far as drink prices go. I drank only mixed drinks ($3.00 each! - you cant beat that) and they were made very well and shots of Jack, which were also reasonable. Someone mentioned the palladium. I refuse to drink there because on top of the outrageous prices for mixed drinks, they make 'em super weak. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 6,2006 11:58am - MetalcoreSUCKS ""] Stop bitching about the setlist LOL!!! Shows are few and far between around here so I'll take any songs a bands plays.But it would have been cool if they did play more songs off of Relixiv and Killbox 13.I agree on the moshing thing,who gives a fuck!!! Now all we need at Marks is for the sluts to show their CUNTS!! |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 6,2006 1:30pm - MetalcoreSUCKS ""] LOL!! Oh yes I am.If u saw my CD collection u would know that I am |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 6,2006 1:36pm - the_reverend ""] I looked up some definition in the metalcoresucks dictionary. old school (old skool): n anything that metalcoresucks likes or relating to everything and anything that metalcoresucks likes. metalcore: (mEt'l kôr): n anything that metalcoresucks dislikes or relating to everything and anything that metalcoresucks dislikes. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 6,2006 1:46pm - MetalcoreSUCKS ""] HA HA!!! |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 7,2006 9:43pm - SeedBassist ""] To Aaron, or anyone else who was there, maybe you can answer this for me. What did the Henchmen's singer do with the book he had (I'm assuming it's a bible). I just noticed that in some pictures he had it and I'm curious as to what he did with it. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 9,2006 6:37pm - the_reverend ""] he was reading slayer lyrics out of it. reading "from the book of slayer" overkill: this is a band that no matter how many times I see them, they will never fail to put on a good show. they are only of the only bands from their era (along with destruction)who's live show and CDs have been good through out. Before they came out there were a ton of people crawling around the stage. fixing the lights and the sound. these people should have been on that dan stage for all the bands. maybe then the sound/lighting would have been a lot better. anyhow, I knew that I would be cutting out before the very end of their set. this meant that I would probably be missing my favorite song by them, deny the cross. to my surprise, the came right out with this one. yeah! they had a lot of smoke and flashing lights. I would have been able to get better shots if I had a little bit of room along the front but whatever. the crowd was really into it too and packed up along the front. I had to reach over people's heads, but Bobby Blitz shot me a bunch of posers and smiles while I snapped. |
