converge is playing the palladium[views:23607][posts:59]the Palladium (Worcester, Ma) - [converge][mastodon][the_bronx] _________________________________________ [Sep 10,2006 3:51pm - GoatOfCatalyst ""] Converge - three new songs that KILL this band just keeps getting better and better with age can't fucking wait for "No Heroes" Mastodon = untouchable i don't think these guys have a fucking dull riff in their set. absolutely captivating. Lamb Of God / Shadows Fall / Killswitch / Unearth, etc... NONE of them come close to touching the sublime majesty of Mastodon the doomblunt i enjoyed prior to their set has little bearing on the above statements and Hot Chocolate gave me jungle fever |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2006 5:44pm - cyborgjim ""] converge's set was good, but there choice of songs was a little iffey. They didn't play anything prior to jane doe. Nothing from petitioning..., or when forever..., poarcher diaries, nothing at all. New stuff sounded awesome, they played way to many songs from you fail me. They didn't even fucking play the saddest day. i mean come on... |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2006 7:33pm - HailTheLeaf ""] Mastodon was fucking awesome...too bad I couldn't catch all of their set. The girl you guys are refering to was with Brent, she seemed nice, can't remember her name though..I'm bad with names and was too busy drooling over his Gibson custom shop sliverburst V. |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 10,2006 8:09pm - todayistheday nli ""] the bronx- pure suckage, same fucking riff in every song, couldnt wait until they over converge-sounded great but the song choices were kinda weak..i was in the mood for petitioning stuff but they didnt even touch that album just jane doe type stuff. the barrier sucked ass mastadon- at this point it seemed like i had only been there for like an hr. i kept wanting to leave during their set but then they would play an awesome riff and i would decide to stay...i finally left during the encore cause the song they were playing didnt seem too good......crowd was pretty nuts the entire set |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 10,2006 11:07pm - the_reverend ""] bronx, the: like I said, I ran in, took a few pictures and then got told "no flash, first 2 songs" so I couldn't really shoot them. converge: there are very few bands that make me giddy to see. converge is just one of those bands. they always rule, but have gotten tighter since 2004 when they lost the 2nd guitar player). each time they make a new CD, they get better and better. They played 3 new songs in a row and I think they played one more new track. I was playing mostly with a new camera during their set so I didn't get to totally engross myself in their set. the new songs were shorter and didn't build up at all. reminded me of the shorts songs off of you fail me or even jane doe. yeah, I like the earlier music better and they did focus on you fail me a lot. I don't realy care cause that album rules, but I would have loved to have heard some stuff off the first 2 full lengths. mastodon: they started off with a sample about hotdogs or something as the crowd chanted for mastodon to come on. this band, like I said, is the 'underground" band that everyone thought was their own little secret back a few years ago. nowm they are HUGE. they had an impressive set list from all their albums. tons of songs listed on it. I've heard tracks from the new CD and now I've heard them live. I must say that the tracks on the new CD have weird vocals. it's like they took the thin lizzy thing and ran with it. the vocals are a bit weird. besides that, there were people crowd surfing during their set. I'm wondering it cream did a tour, would there be crowd surfers? in this day and age, probably. |
