| ______________________________ [Feb 15,2007 5:42pm - Lamp ""] I guess New Haven is realistic on a Friday night but I doubt I give enough of a shit about any of these bands to go that far. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 15,2007 10:27pm - xanonymousx ""] SLAYER. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 15,2007 11:16pm - Lamp ""] I live 20 minutes away from Providence and could never give enough of a shit about Slayer to go see them again. Besides, there's awesome shows on both Saturday and Sunday at a venue that doesn't have a barrier, has way more awesome bands, and is a fraction of their ticket prices. I'll go spend the leftover money on records. Have fffuuuuunnnnnNN!N!N!NN!N!!!N!N!N!!!!! Mwahahaha. |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 16,2007 9:23pm - the_reverend ""] priestess: never heard nor heard of this band. They are an enigma wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in another enigma. I'd best have an epiphone during their set and figure it out! 70's rock. Very much like like high on fire/motorhead. More towards the rock side and not the metal side. they are from canada (formally know as our peaceful neighbor to the north. Yes I can steal material like mencia too!). Near the end of the set, the drummer did a ~5 minute solo. It was pretty good. The other members actually sat down while the guy went off. They all came back out and played 3 more songs. Is it just me or does the lead singer look like one of the dudes from underoath.. The drummer, I think. Did that guy leave underoath? Is he from canada? does he have a giant wolf tattoo on his arm? |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 16,2007 10:37pm - the_reverend ""] I can't believe I shot this tour back on sept 9th. It doesn't seem like that long ago. converge: awesomely played. These guys are tightier than any other band out there. I can see what they meant in cambridge when they said that the barricades sucked. Yeah, it was great for me and all.. But they were so far from the crowd. There were a couple people that managed to get from the side of the stage and crowd surf, but not many. The ones that did were semi-chased into the crowd. Mostly, they were just kept off the side of the stage so that they couldn't go airborne. No endless wave of kids, hardly any people to sing along. And for example, there was a guy with a poster that stayed in the front the whole time and his mastodon poster was fine! When converge started, 4 other photog's decented on the photopit. My little area that was so bare for priestess was now full. Thankfully, there was only one bouncer in there. so there was enough room to move around and not bump into anything/one. The set was the same one they played in combridge, but hell, it's converge! They also played 3 older songs. I must have been mistaken from the other set. |
