| _____________________________ [Feb 12,2008 3:58pm - mOe ""] there's plenty of bands I'd like to see but I can almost promise I wont have the money for a ticket maybe someone will take pity and put Mercury Switch on or something, but what are the odds of that |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 3:59pm - largefreakatzero ""] A couple interesting bands overshadowed by a shit-ton of bad ones. I'm getting bored just looking at the list. I would probably be forced to kill myself if I actually went to this. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 3:59pm - dreadkill ""] i just want to see the goddamn paganfest usa tour. at least nevermore is playing the same day. i want to find out when disfear, trap them, municipal waste, skeletonwitch, and unexpect are playing. hopefully most of them will be on sunday so this will be worth going to. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 4:00pm - neverpurified ""] i may end up buying an evening pass (if they still do those) for sunday, just to see nevermore meshuggah and ministry. i'll see what the rest of the day is like though, i may go for the whole day. has nevermore said who they will have for a 2nd guitar player? |
| __________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 4:03pm - brian_dc ""] I thought they've been using Chris Broderick |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 4:05pm - neverpurified ""] they were, but he decided to play guitar for megadeth full time....but given that band's track record, it means he'll be looking for a new band next year |
| _______________________________ [Feb 12,2008 4:05pm - aril ""] anyone still up for going to Montreal for the Pagan Fest? |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 4:08pm - corpus_colostomy ""] neverpurified said:they were, but he decided to play guitar for megadeth full time....but given that band's track record, it means he'll be looking for a new band next year somewhere kessaris has his penis out thinking about that. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 4:18pm - archaeon ""] Absolutely going saturday I really want to go sunday but thats just pain in the ass. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 12,2008 4:28pm - cav ""] someone convince vital to get anthony to do vocals instead of that douche bag they had at hell, and all produced to sound good on the dvd. and fuck that drummer too by the way. seriously. in the words of that annoying drunk guy...ANNNNTHHHOOOONNNNAAAAYYYYY!!! |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 4:48pm - blue nli ""] Wow. The final NEDF lineup is going to be way better that. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 12,2008 5:27pm - Pires ""] totally going. kind of expensive but good bands and metal fest is always a good time. fuck all the haters. trap them, danza, hulud and megadeth are enough for me. plus i'm going to pagan fest in new york city. YEAH! |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 5:37pm - Brandon nli ""] dillinger, hate eternal, municipal waste, HULUD, skeleton witch, unexpect, wow dont think im gonna go. We'll see |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 5:52pm - mcmahon nli ""] this is doable, count me in |
| ____________________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 6:29pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I would see 34 of these bands. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 6:30pm - corpus_colostomy ""] bump for hot topic sale!! |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 12,2008 7:01pm - SkinSandwich ""] I love my wallet raped constantly. Thanks sell out cunts |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 13,2008 11:07am - KevintheSprigg ""] I really wish the organizers of NEMF would put some sort of effort into the lineup, as opposed to simply grabbing whatever tours happen to be trekking across the country during April. Look at MDF, more than half the bands on that bill are flown in specifically for that one show. NEMF is a big lazy bucket. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 13,2008 1:37pm - joeycobra ""] I see...Disfear, The End, From A Second Story Window, Municipal Waste, Shai Hulud, Soilent Green, Trap Them, Vital Remains, and Meshuggah as the only reasons for me to be there...is it worth the price...prob. not. Isn't Disfear playing Great Scotts this month? Same with Trap Them? The only band REALLY making me want to pay the price is Meshuggah.. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 14,2008 12:33am - Lamp ""] Municipal Waste. Trap Them, Disfear, and Soilent Green if I'm in a good mood. Nothing else I even give half a shit about on here. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 14,2008 2:34am - Phrozenspite ""] for anyone that likes Ministry this is their last tour, Al claims to be calling it quits after this... Also Nevermore headlining sets are exceedingly rare... also interested in seeing the following... however I'm not really sure if I'll have the money for it... so I may have to just go Sunday... Dimmu Borgir Behemoth Brain Drill Eluveitie Ensiferum Keep Of Kalessin Monstrosity Municipal Waste Skeletonwitch Turisas Tyr Unexpect Veil of Maya Vital Remains |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 14,2008 10:03am - christopher ""] gag, I don't want to go to this thing, but i really want to see Ensiferum and all those people. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 14,2008 10:06am - thuringwethil ""] so the pagan fest with Tyr is on Sunday? |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 14,2008 11:06am - Beorht-Dana ""] A few good bands that would be great to see, but I don't know if I'll go. The amount of waiting involved just doesn't seem like it's worth it |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 14,2008 11:12am - christopher ""] if they did this great and stupid move to put all the good bands on one day I would be all over this place |
| ______________________________ [Feb 14,2008 1:00pm - Yeti ""] Sunday night is the night to go. i love Dimmu, but they played last year, and i don't want to support faggoty ass Behemoth again. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 14,2008 3:52pm - i_am_lazy ""] Brain Drill Demiricous Disfear Eluveitie Ensiferum Keep Of Kalessin Megadeth (If you want to count Gigantour as part of it) Monstrosity Municipal Waste Nevermore Overkill Skeletonwitch Turisas Tyr Veil of Maya (Haven't heard 'em, I don't think...but they share a name with a Cynic song, so they're probably neat) Vital Remains Withered Hmmm...17 bands I wouldn't mind seeing...6 I've already seen...plopping down that much cash for 11 bands, most of which will probably get 20 minutes? Eh. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 14,2008 3:54pm - PiresNLI ""] so no Carcass or At the Gates? FAIL. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 14,2008 3:55pm - thuringwethil ""] Yeti said:Sunday night is the night to go. i love Dimmu, but they played last year, and i don't want to support faggoty ass Behemoth again. yeah I figure Sunday then. I wanna catch the pagan bands, plus I've never seen Ministry. :pukeface: anyone from Boston area wanna go ? |
| __________________________________ [Feb 14,2008 4:27pm - KPANZER ""] DISFEAR/TYR that's it.If Attila was still in KEEP, but,,,,,,, |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 18,2008 11:03pm - i_am_not_me ""] Okay, add Unexpect to the list I'd like to see. Whoa. |
