i wouldnt say it has killer tones. its pretty much a one trick pony imo--but it excels in that one modern brutal vibe. my main complaint is that the mids are way white boy but i like the modern crunch/saturation for sure. its like a different unit with a hush. tried a tb and a super c. bith had different results.
[May 15,2008 6:54pm - Joshtruction ""]
one trick pony I agree with. So killer tones, no. Killer single tone... I guess so haha. White boy?
[May 15,2008 6:56pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
whiteboy meaning it has no soul or liquidity. it's all bark and bite, kinda flimsy and inorganic too...competes with the highs a bit as well unfortunately. the fullness and tastefulness of the mids PALE in comparison to the mesa.
[May 15,2008 6:57pm - Joshtruction ""]
try boosting yet?
[May 15,2008 6:59pm - W3 nli ""]
hey hey hey less gear and more beer talk
[May 15,2008 7:00pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
no fucking way. i said i have an emg 60 in the bridge. wanna talk bright?! plus you can also use the effects send and return dials in the back as a boost sorta. cool stuff especially with the dampening switch combinations.
[May 15,2008 7:15pm - Joshtruction ""]
I had an MXR eq in the loop of mine... made a huge difference.
[May 15,2008 7:34pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
i was recently offered a 32 band eq for dirt cheap but i thought to myself, as much as i would love to tweak until im 45 yrs old, an eq means that i dont actually dig the sounds that the head gets. if thats the case, i should just get an ENGL not an eq. plus, i like my signal chain tight n short.
all i need now is a 3 banger skb, a furman, a hush c, and a korg tuner.
DONE!

Legal Capacity At Rocko's is less than 200, its a small place not a descent sized . xMikeyx i dont know what ur saying, have u ever gone to Rocko's, and do u know me well enough to call me a herb whatever that means....So yeah 15 bucksfor this show for Converge...ya im pocketing alot of money...lol...Do u even know how much Converge Charges?
[May 16,2008 9:46am - xmikex ""]
Maybe the fire limit at Rockos is less than 200 (which doesn't make a ton of sense), but I've seen way more kids in way smaller places than Rockos. I guess it's small compared to Static X at the Tweeter Center or whatever you were doing before you all of a sudden started booking "hardcore shows."
If you can't afford a band, or a venue then don't book. Leave it for the real promoters.
[May 16,2008 9:57am - corpus_colostomy ""]
ahahahaahhaahaha static x!
[May 16,2008 1:18pm - ximxthirsty ""]

Great. I'll be the kid handing his $15 straight to Converge while you frown about the Hot Topic dragon shirt you're not gonna buy with my money.

lol @ police officer and a bouncer. You sure you got enough security? Were the K-9 unit, and SWAT helicopter booked for the day? Or would you have to raise the cover to $50? Oh noes BRO.

Its cool man, joke about it, Make fun at the issue. Whatever, i have better things to do. I put on shows because the people want to see them. This was the lowest i could possibly do this show for, if you have a problem with this. Well thats your issue and i think your disrespecting the bands that are playing this show by saying that.
I am not making a dime off this show, all I am looking for is to be part of the experience. SO whatever...keep making it into a joke, it just shows you have no intelligence and are ignorant.
See ya later dude!

lol CLASSIC

Sorry, I forgot what a serious issue Im Thirsty Productions is. New Hampshire had legit promoters booking legit hardcore shows long before you popped up, and it will way after your gone.
i have better things to do.
nooooooooooooooooope.
This was the lowest i could possibly do this show for
How much was that Hoods show a couple months ago? Something like $12 in advance (whatever the fuck that means for a Friday night hardcore show), and $15 at the door. I felt sick to my stomach knowing that I played a show that expensive. Hoods are a great band, that draw well, but unless you're paying them in diamonds it's still an $8 - $10 show anywhere else but an "I'm Thirsty """Production"""".
i think your disrespecting the bands that are playing this show by saying that.
Did you come up with that opinion, or did you rent it for $70 an hour an expect me to pay for that too? I hope this show turns out phenomenal for all the bands in spite of a promoter who hamburgles hardcore kids on a regular basis.
all I am looking for is to be part of the experience.
sounds stupendous. "How I Ran A Token Crappy Booking Agency" - By Dave the Poser. This has the makings of the worst college entry essay ever.
it just shows I'm a 40 year old nu-metal guy who can't defend himself on the interweb.
fix'd.
next.

This show is gonna be so fucking awesome. So many maniacal network fans will be coming out and getting loaded. It's funny, my old band played with Converge in NH literally ten years ago and here we go again. And the last time we played in Manch Vegas, a bunch of our friends got kicked out and we got banned from the place.
ONe for the fucking record books.
[May 16,2008 10:29pm - xanonymousx ""]
this show will be shut down before the network is done with their set.
welfare records should have this show.

Hoods was $12.00 and ur band sucked i should of never booked you.
I payed hoods 600.00 that night the door did a little over 1000.00 after expenses like RENT AND SOUND AND STAFF i made 50.00 bucks, but i guess thats way too much...

Yes, u are disrespecting the bands, and no i did not rent it but if you would like to pay me for it, i dont mind.

HAHA, token crappy booking agency...hmm i put on some of the best shows in NH dude.

I'm 32 on june 21st! which speaking of dont miss,
Sea of treachery at Rocko's on this day! and its $12.00 im shure you will complain and call me a poser though

The music industry is a tough business and you either make it or you don't.
I'm Thirsty Entertainment is one of the only booking agencies in this state to consistently bring big package shows (and yes, I know Mark's Showplace but they can bite it). It's not easy doing what he does and I would know because I helped with most of it for almost 6 months.
Getting Converge in Manchester is a big deal in my eyes. A $15 cover charge is nothing. Converge is charging $2000 just to play so you should be grateful someone else is dealing with that and not you.

No credible promoters make you sell tickets. It's a show not a raffle. This show isn't even making bands sell tickets so there goes that right off the bat. There are way worse promoters than xI'mxAPoserx Entertainment. So if you're selling tickets to play a show you're getting taken for a serious ride.
Scam or opportunity = Opportunity
You know the Germans use the same word for scam as they do for opportunity. SCAMATUNITY!
try going to NY and insulting promoters.
I play NYC all the time. I've never had to deal with a bad promoter. In fact I played an awesome show last summer in Brooklyn that a 17 year old kid booked. The turnout was great. The show was insane, and all the bands made out well. It just goes to show that it takes way more effort to be a shitty promoter than a good one, which is why it's so necessary to make fun of them when they pop up.

No its not a ride. No wonder your band has gone no where excpet maybe 1 show last summer with a 17 year old kid, that brought 25 kids, but hey in your eyes im sure that was a success cuz no one sold tickets right?

U play there all the time? really ? when i live in NYC , ive never heard about your band playing here. Im sure you can get on some 17 year old's show last summer.haha (im guessing you bribed him , cuz honestly who would book you) ..what about this year mang, met any 16 or 17 year olds yet?
[May 18,2008 11:53am - xmikex ""]
haha Considering you hang with bands that do pay for play shows I'll wager that you'll never hear of any band I'm in playing anywhere. But hey man, if you wanna book us at whatever sports bar you think is cool we'll come out and do Pearl Jam covers. Buy me a Busch Light and we'll do an encore of More Than A Feeling too.
