| Now Find a show to go to! Nov 7 (Mon) - Cynic, 3, Scale The Summit - the Palladium (Worcester, MA) Cynic - Worcester Palladium Monday November 7[views:19594][posts:82][show listing] ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:16pm - arilliusbm ""] Just heard about this. Dont know about the other bands but I wouldnt mind seeing Fagnic again |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:17pm - arilliusbm ""] Oops not posted as show list and not on events. Too lazy |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:17pm - ark ""] Fagnic huh. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:20pm - arilliusbm ""] Word of the day. I love Cynic, and Paul is a total fag now. Doesnt matter though. Awesome musician |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:27pm - BSV ""] Cynic sucks! No one has ever given me a good reason to like them other than the fact listeners think they're suddenly smarter for listening to them, like Mozart gives you A's on exams, yeah guy. BORING. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:28pm - Alx_Casket ""] lol. typical aril post: ___ sucks, but ____ is pretty cool guy though |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:34pm - BSV ""] typical Cynic fan, "OH MAN THIS BAND IS AWESOME, THEY USED TO HAVE A DEATH METAL DEMO BUT THEN PUSSIED OUT AND MAKE SAFE PSUEDO F-ZERO METAL NOW, IT'S AMAZING STUFF. LISTENING TO IT MAKES YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT." |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:36pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i like parts of their first album. the more recent one bored the fuck out of me. would go see them for free. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:36pm - arilliusbm ""] never said any of that |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:42pm - goatcatalyst ""] Demos are great. Everything after can fuck right off. Especially those twink vocoder vocals |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:45pm - arilliusbm ""] Ive always loved their demos abd focus. I love Pauls guitar style and dont feel smarter listening to it. Newer Cynic is mostly a disappointment to me, but still listenable. Ive always preferred Athiest to Cynic, as far as jazzy/fusiony/florida bands go, albiet different styles |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:49pm - BSV ""] Cynic is a gateway band of gay that leads towards Dream Theater. I mean, you can open that door and go down that road, if you're a total faggot and whatnot. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't try so hard to appeal to metalheads and so many didn't buy into it. Followers are basically in a league with crabcore, "WHAT MAN, IT'S AWESOME STUFF, CATCHY AS HELL. WHY DON'T YOU BE A LITTLE MORE OPEN MINDED, GAWD". Fuck off. Neil Young's Trans is more brutal than Cynic. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:50pm - blue ""] something tells me josh doesnt like cynic, not sure what. if i can pull off all the gas for this and exhumed the night, im there. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:50pm - AndrewBastard ""] BSV said: PSUEDO F-ZERO METAL starting a band like this fav game on SNES. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:52pm - arilliusbm ""] Lol. Good game |
| ________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:53pm - zyklon ""] Is Paul really gay? I know he's a little flamboyant when he talks but that doesn't make him gay |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:55pm - arilliusbm ""] Hahaha I know what youre saying Josh.. I know people exactly like that. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:56pm - BSV ""] blue said:something tells me josh doesnt like cynic, not sure what. because it's arrogant music full of crappy hooks and licks. the bass playing is the only redeemable aspect and for the most part it's overdone, pretentious and total unmemorable. been hating on this band for years! can't stop. won't stop. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 4:57pm - arilliusbm ""] Josh, do you like gordian knot at least? |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 5:00pm - BSV ""] never heard them. what should I start with? |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 5:00pm - goatcatalyst ""] Only balloon knot is real |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 5:02pm - blue ""] jawshy, i know why you dont like cynic. tis a joke. your explanation however is how i feel about 99% of tool & DT fans. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 5:02pm - Mark_R ""] ^ hahaha I'm going to this. I'm pretty bored with Cynic's new stuff but the band 3 is awesome and they are the real reason to go as far as I'm concerned. Also RE Cynic as a gateway to DT, I think it's the other way around. DT fans tend to discover Cynic on their way up/out. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 5:02pm - BSV ""] I'd rather listen to electronic music that has feeling and a purpose. When Cynic comes out and admits that the vocoder was just a way to get through to their brain dead mute fans, I'll respect them. Otherwise, file them under RETARDED BANDS WHO ARE NOT NEIL YOUNG. bennyhillifier |
| ________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 5:03pm - Mark_R ""] BSV said:When Cynic comes out and admits that the vocoder was just a way to get through to their brain dead mute fans, I'll respect them. I thought it was known that the vocoder was a result of Paul blowing out his voice because he had never attempted death metal vox before recording the album. Not a true story? |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 5:09pm - arilliusbm ""] Neil Young > most metal Gordian Knot is Sean Malone's (Cynic bass) instrumental project that has a bunch of guest musicians. Bill Bruford of King Crimson fame drummed on the 2nd album. It's chill out music, nothing mind blowing. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 5:16pm - Yeti ""] blue said:jawshy, i know why you dont like cynic. tis a joke. your explanation however is how i feel about 99% of tool fans. THIS THIS AND MORE THIS. and yes i agree with Josh, Cynic is a borefest. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 10:18pm - i_am_lazy ""] I've been told some of my solos remind people of F-Zero. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 10:19pm - i_am_lazy ""] But yeah, I also found Cynic after Dream Theater, I'm pretty sure. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:12pm - BSV ""] I'VE BEEN TOLD SOME OF MY FUCKS REMIND BROADS OF WILD GOOSE GETTING IT DONE. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 28,2011 3:44am - NEIL YOUNG ""] bennyhillifier I LOVE CYNIC! AND COCK!!! bennyhillifier |
| ______________________________ [Oct 28,2011 4:19am - Lamp ""] I had never listened to this band before now and just looked up some stuff from Focus, this seriously sounds like shit they would play on the Weather Channel. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 28,2011 4:23am - Lamp ""] The first song I listened to sounded cool, but it was also instrumental. It didn't sound like metal to me so I didn't think of it as such. But what the ass is with these vocals? Is this the origin of all the autotuned crap out there today? The whole album should have stayed instrumental. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 30,2011 10:30pm - arilliusbm ""] This is UPSTAIRS, the other bands are 3 Scale the Summit. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 30,2011 10:35pm - KEVORD ""] This shits wack. Decibel probably has a boner over this tour. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 30,2011 11:01pm - burnsy ""] arilliusbm said:This is UPSTAIRS, the other bands are 3 Scale the Summit. El oh fucking Elle. Further reason to avoid that city one more night. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 30,2011 11:52pm - Martins ""] 3 is sick |
| ______________________________ [Oct 31,2011 8:47am - BSV ""] I will admit this though....Atheist was such a disappointment live at MDF a few years ago. The only way Cynic could be better is if they smoke Atheist in playing live department. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 31,2011 9:00am - blue ""] Last time I saw Cynic they were ridiculously on point, note for note. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 31,2011 9:03am - arilliusbm ""] At Harpers Ferry? They didnt miss a note. Then again, they had those Dutch guys in the band. Different lineup now. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 31,2011 9:06am - the_reverend ""] Atheist was a disappointment @ MDF. Cynic at harpers was awesome. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 31,2011 9:08am - blue ""] That post was me (Blue). I'm logged in, must be a conspiracy Edit: now it shows up. Masvidal and Reinert had no problem keeping up with the new guys. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 31,2011 9:10am - arilliusbm ""] In fact, what is the lineup now? I havent even heard the new stuff thats posted above, either. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 31,2011 9:46am - arilliusbm ""] Brandon Griffin - (live) bass (2011-present) Max Phelps - (live) guitar, vocals (2011-present) Bass player is former Faceless bassist |
| ______________________________ [Oct 31,2011 9:49am - BSV ""] oh shit Brandon is with them now? used to warm up on chromatic scales with him. csb. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 31,2011 9:51am - arilliusbm ""] Will that sway you to come? haha |
| ______________________________ [Oct 31,2011 9:56am - BSV ""] i only go to palladium shows I'm guestlisted. unless it's Krisiun. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 31,2011 10:00am - arilliusbm ""] Krisiuns new stuff sounded decent. Nothing innovative or diffetent, but I bet itll slay live. Haven't seen them in a while. one of my favorite live bands. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 31,2011 12:44pm - NEIL YOUNG ""] I, NEIL YOUNG, WILL BE THERE!!! My fat hippy ass could use the yoga! New stuff is amazing. Like angels fucking dirty diapers, with chanty hippy shit for choruses. The death metal is a lie, Cynic is teh yogi rock! Get in shape with gay sex, yoga, and the occasional Holdsworthy solo. It's like the 60's for me all over again, but with no girls at the concerts this time. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 31,2011 12:47pm - the_reverend ""] monday show?!? FU!!! |
