| __________________________________ [May 26,2005 4:20pm - litacore ""] oh yeah, THAT'S RIGHT, there's a sweet restaurant next door |

I would rather see more 21+ venues than see places being run like the Palladium. That place is no fun and sucks to see shows at. Plus its a way more expensive liquor license to do what the Palladium does. Do you really want Palladium prices at bar shows? If you don't like 21+, don't play Mass. I will play 21+ clubs, but I PREFER to play all ages, can you guys read? Um... I paid $12 to see the show at the middle east last night and that wasn't all ages. That was a package tour. Of course you're going to pay $12.00 dummy. I thought we were talking local band shows. Middle East is 18+ That's also a more expensive license than 21+ I was on the guest list night and I didn't go. I suck. |

| _______________________________ [May 26,2005 4:22pm - dan. ""] yeah for 6 bucks you get about 6 pound of meat piled on bread. they also have home made root beer. and a bull bursting out of the wall. i was just walking down the street and i saw satan staring at me so i decided to go in. good decision on my part! |
| ___________________________________ [May 26,2005 4:22pm - ninkaszi ""] yeah 21+ blows. i agree. it would be amazing to have an all ages club in boston. but to say 21+ is killing metal is just wrong. whenever there is a good show at obriens it does well. there are lots of people 21 and over that come out and go for the music. not everyone is out to get loaded. some do both. i would be pissed if i was under 21 and i couldn't go to some of the shows i have seen there so i understand the rage. if i ever had the funds to open an all ages club i would try my best for it. but in all honesty the city of boston would probably never let something like that happen anyway. |

| ______________________________________ [May 26,2005 4:23pm - shatteredliz ""] We had Atomic BBQ #3 a the Midway Cafe with Gut, Medicine 4 Tim, the Kiran Ridge Band, and Vibewise. It was a great show. I like this venue. It's a small dive bar similar to O'Brien's. Actually, it's a little bit smaller than O'Brien's! |

| ________________________________________________ [May 26,2005 4:27pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] i also would love to point out that, all these bands bitching about the club not being all ages will gladly step up to bitch but then play the club at the same time. a lil switch hitting going on there. why dont you take a stance and stick with it. |

There are a decent amount of people that show for some 21+ shows. NOT nearly as many heads that show up for All Ages, or even some 18+ shows. Last october, we played a VFW 10 minutes from my house in freaking Maine, and there were more heads there than most metal shows I've been too in boston, the kids went fucking insane which was also suprising since I've lived here for so long. 21+ isn't killing metal persay, but it's definetly not benefiting it in any way. |

| __________________________________ [May 26,2005 4:32pm - litacore ""] well, when I first moved to this town I had the foreknowledge that most of the shows I wanted to see were 21+. Hekseri's playing June 19 so I guess that counts us out of the 21st, oh well |

" i don't agree with that. if i can go see a band i like i am going to go see them regardless where it is. shows have been selling out lately at obriens. a 21+ hotspot is better than no hotspot. the choppin block was doing well at one point too when it was still open. integrity played there because they couldn't find anywhere else to do it. so would there 21+ fans rather them play at a shitty bar, or not play at all? the people that saw them benefited from seeing them at a shitty bar. |

You seem to enjoy labeling people you don't even know. ok let's get this out right now, the reason i don't like ken Susi is cause he's a pussy. and it's over something most people on here would find stupid over bands and sports teams. but while hanging out with Damage Plan, Unearth, and Hatebreed after their show in Norfolk, Va we started talking about bands around Mass and new England in general i was talking to Sean Martin about his older bands and how i liekd them more when he was writing for them,m then now. then we got into it about how Diecast ripped off unearth and one of Sean's side bands and how they werent cool with them. i explained i liked three of their tracks nothing major. so then we got into talking about sports teams and shit i know this is where i'll lose the majority of you, but well ken was backing me on how the redsox gave the yankees a run for their money last year well the more sean started about how the yankees owned the redsox and they were a joke, ken started sneaking away and outta the conversation, like throwing in the patriots won and celtics and bruins are good, but not saying a word again about the redsox. well words got so heated that sean hip tossed me and i ended up pulling a weapon on him, but a mutual friend calmed the situation down and now we joke about it. but ken to me is a lil bitch with no spine. so yeah let the jokes fly. |
| _______________________________ [May 26,2005 4:58pm - dan. ""] i honestly have no idea what you just wrote but what makes me love boston so much is that a conversation about the red sox will end with weapons being pulled. boston rules |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 5:29pm - RustedAngel ""] wow, what a reason you have to have such reason to declare your dislike for him 100 times throughout other threads on this board. sounds like ken was being the smart one by backing out of a fucking stupid argument. It's like telling someone who's man enough to back down from a pussy. Especially over sports. You're angry because you thought you were tight enough with him from talking about the red sox but he didn't fight the guitar player of Hatebreed for you. |
| ________________________________________________ [May 26,2005 5:37pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] nope sorry, wrong again.. it had nothing to do with him fighting the other gtr player. it's more of not being able to take a stance over something. just cause someone is bigger then you doesn't mean you have to change your opinion you should know about that stuff. i mean really c'mon now. he had an opinion someone had something different and he changed his opinion, and yeah i dont give fuck i'll get into a fight for something i believe. you might think something as stupid as a lil sport is nothing but it happens to be a major thing to me. i try to my all into something and not half ass it, when i live for something that is. do you live for something Tom, would you lay it all on the line for single thing no matter how stupid everyone else thought it was. but hey come back with something super internet smoothe and witty please. out internet me ! |
