| ______________________________________ [Feb 9,2010 10:36pm - goatcatalyst ""] shit lineup. Disembodied is the only band on here I give an ass raping fuck about. some others are cool like Cro Mags, Death Threat, COA, Cattle Decap, Mother Of Mercy, but for the most part, I can see those bands any random weekend with a better, longer set and less douchebags. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 9,2010 10:37pm - goatcatalyst ""] the_reverend said:um.. there is suppose to be one more name on that that is an amazing bright spot. My Dying Bride or get fucked but really, i'm not gonna complain. less bands i give a fuck about = more time to party like a werewolf with friends i hardly get to see. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 9,2010 10:39pm - boblovesmusic ""] I must admit, I kinda want to go, but I don't feel like spending 80 bucks... |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 9,2010 11:04pm - ArilliusBM ""] wait, so where's the metal? |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 9,2010 11:07pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I have not had any desire to attend NEMHF for 6 years and this year is no exception. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 9,2010 11:09pm - ArilliusBM ""] XTheWarX - I'm sorry, but that's one of the wost names of a band I've ever read. No idea what they sound like, nor do I care. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 9,2010 11:16pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] XTheWarX HUH, good god y'all...what are they good for? Absolutely nothin'. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 9,2010 11:19pm - ArilliusBM ""] Edwin Starr ftw |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 9,2010 11:25pm - TheBeast ""] This is by far the worst lineup they have ever pulled out. It should be called New England Straight Edge and Fag Festival. They really just don't get it. It seems like a sign of the times "for the better" where real metal will dive deeper into the underground while the shit trends die out. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 9,2010 11:31pm - ddrummer ""] first day is absolute trash, will probably go to the second day to see Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth, Skeletonwitch, Eluveite, 1349, Swashbuckle, Cattle Decapitation |
| _______________________________ [Feb 9,2010 11:43pm - Pires ""] Hopefully gaza plays somewhere else while they're on this side of the country. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 9,2010 11:59pm - Pires ""] the_reverend said:um.. there is suppose to be one more name on that that is an amazing bright spot. blind guardian, king diamond, or mercyful fate or gtfo. |

| _______________________________ [Feb 10,2010 6:36am - hhhh ""] Impending Doom is supposed to be on the 23rd. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 6:55am - reimroc ""] wow way more hardcore than metal this year. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 6:58am - beelze ""] Fuck this FAGGOTSHIT |
| ________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 6:59am - beelze ""] Im sending a message to 1349 telling them to pull off this fagfest |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 8:00am - ouchdrummer ""] this fest has ALWAYS been more hardcore. It's sucked since 99 |
| _______________________________ [Feb 10,2010 9:31am - sever ""] it gets worse every year. 46 bucks to see disembodied? nah. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 9:36am - eyehatehippies ""] Black Pyramid is playing the 24th, so...there's that. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 9:39am - boblovesmusic ""] eyehatehippies said:Black Pyramid is playing the 24th, so...there's that. Wait really? in that case... |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 9:42am - arilliusbm ""] Who is responsible for booking this again? |

| _______________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 12:53pm - goatcatalyst ""] Poor planning / bad decisions make New England obsolete. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 1:05pm - Death Fest Fan ""] goatcatalyst said:MDF really makes New England obsolete way to shit on the nedf douche |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 1:05pm - xanonymousx ""] the last metal fest i went to was in 2007 it was ok |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 1:20pm - dreadkill ""] Death%20Fest%20Fan said: goatcatalyst said:MDF really makes New England obsolete way to shit on the nedf douche i think he was only referring to new england metal and hardcore fest, not other fests that take place in this area. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 1:25pm - bloblovesmusic ""] well, in all fairness, as awesome as NEDF is, it hasn't reached MDF levels yet (love you Blue!). It will eventually I think! |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 1:48pm - goatcatalyst ""] Certainly was not talking about New England Death Fest! Blue is a fucking champion. I'm clearly speaking of the abortion in Worcester. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 2:17pm - patrick ""] $80 is a rip off....I like the Friday line up when it comes to hardcore a little bit....but I dont understand why it is $40 a night....They didnt get anybody I havent seen about million times before. Plus the line up is just blah. I can see alot of fights going down on friday night....and saturday now that I think about it. I wanna go but not for $80. FUCK |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 2:29pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Isn't this the same bunch of bands they got last year? What happened to assimilating underground death metal tours and booking European bands? Total shit fest. |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 2:30pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] And by European bands I DON'T mean Amon Amarth or Eluveite. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 2:37pm - KPanzer ""] I know people bitch about every fest's line-up but this years NEHMF is incredibly bad.And lazy.MDF just keeps getting better.That line-up this year is unreal. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 3:48pm - xanonymousx ""] it's $40 a night so all the bands get paid that are getting paid. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 10,2010 3:56pm - Lamp ""] ArilliusBM said:wait, so where's the metal? There isn't any really. Nor is there any hardcore. They might as well call this Poser AIDS Fest. |

| __________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 4:53pm - BrianDBB ""] Somehow... Rock on the Range looks better |
| ______________________________ [Feb 10,2010 4:58pm - Lamp ""] Rock on the Range is a mainstream festival so that doesn't bother me. A fest like NEMHF that tries to tout itself as some sort of "definitive" guideline for the best that underground music has to offer gives me explosive diarrhea. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 10,2010 5:26pm - tylor ""] fuck. why cant gaza ever play a small show around here |
| ________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 6:15pm - beelze ""] BrianDBB said:Somehow... Rock on the Range looks better |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 6:58pm - TheBeast ""] I love how they still have the quote from the original festival that they keep re-using year after year: "if you decide to go to only one fest this year, this should be it" -- Revolver Magazine "...the best and most balanced fest North America has to offer." -- Metal Maniacs "...hands down, the best metal fest in the world.” -- MetalJudgment.com How long can you ride those quotes? Scott Lee, I think all that lard has finally gone to your brain. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 7:18pm - TheBeast ""] Let's look at how the really pushed the envelope from last year to this year: bands that played last year and this year: Between the Buried an Me, XTheWarX, Rose Funeral, Conducting From The Grave, White Chapel, Cattle Decapitation, Abacabb, Acaro, Cruel Hand, XTyrantX, Monsters Bands that have played at least once in the past: Mastodon, Death Threat, Death Before Dishonor, Job for a Cowboy, Skeletonwitch, Impending Doom, Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza, Arsonists Get All The Girls, Gaza Guess what fat ass - Hard Core Kids don't drink! the bar is going to make so much $ this year you dumb fuck! |

It's sucked since 99 dude, i really don't know about that. I may be one of the only people that posts on this board that is into mostly hardcore (I know there are a few dudes). Last year, was the first year that i remember actually seeing a lot of hardcore bands on the bill. I don't think there were really any in 08' or '07, couple in '06, 05 and '04 maybe a couple. I think the last one I went to was '02? maybe...and it def. wasn't for the WEALTH of hardcore bands that ARE ALWAYS on the bill. Its mostly just pure shit. I didn't go last year, because why the fuck would I want to pay 50 bucks to see bands I can see throughout the year at various other shows in or around massachusetts. Nothing interests me too much as far as metal goes now a days. Not to say I hate it, but its just not my thing. I'm sure all the metalheads feel the same.......Why the fuck do you want to sit around and sit through a million shitty bands, and overpay, when the band will probably come back through on a smaller show. The only reason I may go is the Cro-Mags. They were so fucking good the last time they played Worcester, Id like to see them again. I like some of the other bands playing that day, so It could make it half worth going on that day. There are also some good HC bands playing the second day, but fuck paying for 45-50 bucks. Ill probably see them at some point in time at various shows anyhow. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 11:14pm - goatcatalyst ""] Yes. Clearly, someone has never trashed at a CTHC show. |

| _______________________________________ [Feb 10,2010 11:29pm - goatcatalyst ""] With the exception of Disembodied, I'm 1000x more stoked on going to see Iron Age and Doomriders next Saturday. I'm gonna smoke drugs and get my cock out. |
