| ____________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 10:33am - Czarnobog ""] i don't care about agalloch, but its a pretty big name to pull in for a first time fest like this. good for them. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 10:37am - Czarnobog ""] i don't get the whole woods of ypres worship thing though. band fucking sucks. if they wanted to make some public ode to a recently deceased black metal musician they should've went with Trondr Nefas, who actually played in decent bands. or no one because hero-worship is dumb. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 10:40am - trioxin_245 ""] I heard Dennis Hoppers dermatologist will be there reciting scripture from the Book of Job to the tune of 'child in time' |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 10:43am - trioxin_245 ""] Woods of Ypres is what I call a 'one-track wonder.' Not in the sense that they are a one-hit-wonder, but because I listen to and enjoy a track and then don't need to listen to them again for a good six months. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 10:44am - Czarnobog ""] just listen to the crash test dummies. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 10:46am - arilliusbm ""] I like some Woods, but yea, overrated band. david was a unique and great musician/guy, but after a while their sound annoys me. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 10:52am - arilliusbm ""] Damn, theyre pulling in SIG:AR:TYR from canada too. Pretty sweet deal. Ill just say it: WHERE IS THIS MONEY COMING FROM |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 11:05am - moonroom72 ""] I don't think it qualifies as hero worship Mark, it's just a dedication to someone that inspired him to put this fest together. It's still been less than a year since he died. The band definitely isn't for everyone, but it's honest music and that is what people appreciate, plus David was an incredibly nice person. I can't believe people joking about Mrs. Gold coming to the fest though...what the fuck man. Her son died 4 days before christmas. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 11:05am - arilliusbm ""] Lol ^ (not to brendan, at the scott baio comment) |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 11:07am - chernobyl ""] oh no a black metal musician died before christmas..agreed with mark. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 11:10am - banofdereavement ""] I'll be signing shroud cds at the Scott Baio memorial tent 1pm Sunday. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 11:13am - arilliusbm ""] If this fest wasnt on a weekend I'm away at a wedding, i'd definitely support the locals and SIG:AR:TYR. interested in Fen, but they must suck live |
| _______________________________ [Jul 17,2012 11:20am - why ""] so many cringeworthy aspects of this fest. facebook event thread is lulz. "188! 12 TILL WE GET TO 200! oNCE WE ANNOUNCE THE HEADLINER I'M SURE WE'LL GET THERE. Kepp spreading the word people, we want this show to be as immense as possible. Do it for the music, do it for the scene, do it for the bands, and most important of all, Do It for David Gold. remember, this fest is dedicated to him. You do not want to miss out on this Festival!!!" |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 11:20am - PT Barnum ""] None of you are putting the show together, so who cares what you think about the lineup, or person that will be speaking. Get your panties outta a knot and eat some circus peanuts about it |

I can't believe people joking about Mrs. Gold coming to the fest though...what the fuck man. Her son died 4 days before christmas. i dunno man, i can see if he was a close friend or his band was actually from the area/part of the scene and his family needed money to cover memorial costs or whatever and the fest was partly about that. but it's not. it just seems like faux-sentimental bullshit and high school hero worship to me. if i were a more cynical person i'd say it almost seems like he's cashing in on the dude's name to promote his fest, but i'll leave it at faux-sentimental bullshit. |

DO IT FOR SCOTT. |
