an open letter to Corpsepaint Kid[views:16739][posts:142]_______________________________ [Nov 10,2011 10:12am - Lamp ""] Yeah, Ralph's seems legit. If it was more my style of music I'd probably be there all the time, though as it stands now I've never been. I view the Whitney House in Hartford the way people around here view Ralph's. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 10,2011 10:13am - posbleak ""] I'm not gonna lie I have never not had fun at a Palladium show. I know it sucks and I don't get to Worcester very often at all but it's the combination of smoking in the girls' room, moshing with obese teenagers, cheap strong drinks and the fond memory of getting to touch Pete Steele's hair when I was like sixteen Even shows where I've had a broken ankle, hated all the bands and everyone in the audience, or the time some piece of shit bought rounds of beers for fucking Blackguard on my tab. Still had fun. I dunno am I doing it wrong? |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 10,2011 10:13am - Samantha ""] I've seen some of those same Palladium kids around for a couple of years. What I wonder is, how long will it be until they're old enough to attend 21+ shows? Will they inevitably be assimilated into the collective? 10 years from now, will an old washed up RTTP person say, "Hey! I remember when you were 'corpse paint kid'."? |

I'd rather go to warehouse shows any day where I can bring my own beer for much cheaper, smoke weed in plain sight, and know that asshole who intentionally go the wrong way in the circle pit won't be tolerated. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Nov 10,2011 10:28am - RustyPS should be working ""] Spaldino said:i generally hate seeing bands downstairs at the palladium, but ive never really been disappointed with upstairs events. sound cuts through much better up there and its small enough to feel "intimate" while being large enough to feel like you're at some place thats not someones parents' basement. i love being able to hear everything more so than having the band's chin sweat drizzle into my gaping asshole. if i wanted to not hear anything but treble, i would just crank the left side of my EQ on winamp, and lower the mid and right side to -400000000000. That depends on the band IMO.... If I'm going to see, let's say, Young Widows, I want great sound On the other hand, if I'm going to see Shitstorm, you're damn right I want to be in a dingy basement with the constant threat of catching a mic or a headstock to the dome. |

I dunno am I doing it wrong? agreed, my disposition towards the overall performances at the Exhumed show aside, i still had fun. to pay to go to a show and not have fun because of the sound, or the performance, or the douchey audience would be ridiculous. i just drink and laugh. hell i still go to ICP shows just for the entertainment value. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 10,2011 10:40am - Sacreligion ""] I only go to the Palladium to make fun of the bands, everyone in the crowd, the sound guy, and the drink prices. Having a good time is not a good time. |

| _______________________________ [Nov 10,2011 10:46am - Lamp ""] Yeti's post reminds me of another -1 for the Palladium... Any time I want to go into the pit at a smaller show, I just put my beer down in a corner and pick it back up when I'm ready to. I wouldn't trust myself to do that with a crowd as shitty as the Palladium crowd. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 10,2011 10:49am - Sacreligion ""] I lost 2 pabst cans due to crush syndrome at this show and was totally fine with it. If you are at a metal show and get butthurt over spilled beer you are most definitely doing it wrong. |

| _______________________________ [Nov 10,2011 11:16am - Lamp ""] Haha, well I'm not saying I would fault anyone for accidentally knocking over my beer or something, I do always make sure to put it way the fuck out of the way so that doesn't happen. And as far as taking a spill from someone else, accidents occur. I just can't shake the feeling that if I did that at the Palladium, someone else would pick it up and start drinking it. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 10,2011 11:30am - Samantha ""] Bigger shows always involve being around people who irritate the crap out of you. It comes with the territory. Because my job is boring today, here are some people who bug the crap out of me at shows: -Idiots who go in or near the pit with a drink then get mad when it spills everywhere...like it's a big shock that someone bumped into them. For the rest of the night, people slip on the wet floor, and the pit looks like a pee wee hockey game. -Pathetic, clingy boyfriends who insist on standing behind and hugging their 4 foot tall girlfriend like they're protecting her when in reality, the poor girl serves as a human shield. -The guy in front of you who keeps elbowing and headbutting you in the face when it's too crowded to move anywhere else -The person behind you who gets mad because you're headbanging, and OMG your hair touched them or you bumped into them. -Butthurt, insecure females who spend all night giving every other female the look of death. What crawled up your butt and died? -Hardcore fans and dumb kids who think it's awesome to show off their ninja moves -Crowd surfers who kick you in the head and/or keep trying to crowd surf after they've been dropped a few times -Creeps who think they can get away with groping a girl just because it's crowded -People who bounce up and down like it's a Blink 182 show. I'm sure I can think of more, but work is becoming more interesting. /end rant |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 10,2011 11:42am - Sacreligion ""] I am a firm believer that pits should be violent. If someone is throwing kicks and you are dumb enough to run into one, you are an idiot. At the same time though, people who stay at the edge of a pit and do that are pussies. Create room for your flailing or GTFO |
