| ____________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 10:36pm - nekronaut ""] Gay. I will be on tour. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 1:19am - permafrost ""] anyone going to this? |
| ______________________________ [Sep 24,2012 7:28am - Yeti ""] whoa. i did not see this. i have yet to see Down and really want to. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 10:18am - anonymous ""] Would |
| ________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 10:43am - timma ""] Will be there with several bells on. Can't believe I've gone this long without ever seeing Down. For SHAME. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 1:13pm - Spence nli ""] Saint Vitus is opening this, and I would go just for them, but they're playing the Middle East tonight so i'm going to go to that instead. I've heard Down are killer live though, even if on recording they're far from the best. |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 1:14pm - andrewbastard nli ""] Vitus are opening? |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 1:23pm - Spence nli ""] Yes, apparently Saint Vitus and Warbeast and some Harp or Haarp band are opening for Down. (if you want to see Saint Vitus, catch them tonight at the middle east. They're headlining and it's cheaper and you get Weedeater as well) |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 1:26pm - andrewbastard nli ""] I have down tix already but I was planning on seeing vitus tonight .. weird. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 1:27pm - Spence nli ""] So you get to see them twice, sounds great man. ;) |

I've heard Down are killer live though, even if on recording they're far from the best. WRONG. St. Vitus is at St. Vitus in Brooklyn tomorrow. The flyer you saw is kind of misleading. |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 2:00pm - andrewbastard nli ""] Yeah..I didn't think so. I googled it. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 2:04pm - Spence nli ""] Oh really? I saw the flyer, and my friend Tim said Saint Vitus was playing with Down as well, so I just assumed Vitus was on the Down tour and were just playing headline shows on the offdates. (tonight, according to Kevord's OP is an off date for Down so that reinforced it further) My bad if I confused anyone. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 24,2012 5:12pm - doomsayer nli ""] Saint Vitus is supporting Down in NYC 9/28 only. Saint Vitus is on their own 7 week headlining tour right now and the show with Down is an off date for them. The flyer showed all the various support Down is having on their tour. |

Wait.. So have you not heard Nola or what? The only album I've ever even heard haha. Good stuff though, but for some reason Phil's vocals ruin it for me. Well, maybe ruin is too strong, but I definitely wish it was someone else. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 25,2012 11:01am - boblovesmusic ""] I've been listening to Nola off and on for the last month or so and this might come as a shock but I don't love it. It's not bad but I'm underwhelmed by it. I saw Down once and was also underwhelmed by their performance. Again, wasn't bad but I was like "eh" |

It's not bad but I'm underwhelmed by it. Honestly I just put it on and for the first time in a while, and I kind of felt the same way. Decent, not great. I mean, I can definitely see the appeal, but it just doesn't do much for me. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 25,2012 11:14am - KEVORD ""] I think it doesn't have as much impact as it did in 96 because of all the stoner rock and doom clones out there these days. But I loved it when it came out and still love it today. Not crazy about their newer stuff though. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 25,2012 11:17am - trioxin245 ""] Yea that might be it. I didn't even hear the band until like 2005. Again, not bad by any means, but I'd rather listen to CoC. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 25,2012 11:18am - timma ""] The riffs on Nola and II are awesome. Simple yet satisfying. I can understand Phil's vocals not being for everyone, though. |

I mean, I actually LIKE Pantera, and I like phils vocals, but it's kind of like how Jason Alexander had trouble getting work as an actor outside of Seinfeld because he was too recognizable as George Costanza. The SECOND Phil starts singing, everything just sounds like Pantera to me. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 25,2012 11:50am - AndrewBastard ""] NOLA might be one of the most perfect / best heavy albums ever recorded. its fucking perfect. |

This is probably one of the most sensible analogies ever recorded. Well played, sir. |

| ______________________________ [Sep 25,2012 1:17pm - Yeti ""] DOUBLE THAT |
| ______________________________ [Sep 25,2012 1:21pm - Yeti ""] the only thing Phil has done vocally that didn't do it for me was Superjoint Ritual. the first album has a lot of good songs, but they should have stayed with the mentality of the title "Use Once and Destroy". i wish more had come of this: bennyhillifier |
| __________________________________ [Sep 25,2012 1:24pm - KPANZER ""] NOLA is one of my favorite albums of all time. Tonight will be my first chance to see them live and I'm fucking psyched. And handsome. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 25,2012 1:36pm - goatcatalyst ""] Never stop the handsome |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 27,2012 3:07pm - MillenialKingdom ""] How was the show? |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 27,2012 3:22pm - AndrewBastard ""] i had tickets and i didnt even go...only laying around on the couch watching bad TV hungover after Vitus is me |
| _______________________________ [Sep 27,2012 3:25pm - timma ""] Show was awesome, I thought. Played a bunch of Nola and II and only a couple new ones. I have to say though, the guitar tone was relatively horrific and Down does not work with fingerstyle bass, IMO. |
