| ______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 5:52pm - goatcatalyst ""] Emmure is not from Connecticut. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 5:54pm - the_reverend ""] it simply amazes me that 15 and 16 year olds get lip-rings and tattoos. If people thought the beginning of Gen Y was heavily modified, the tail end will look like a burlap sac stuff with needles. stilleto: young kids, lots of breakdowns and the drummer sang. I'm always impressed when the drummer of a band can keep up the pace while singing. I can't even change the radio station in my car while singing. I get out of breath, pass out and wake up in a ditch listening to conservative talk radio and wondering who peed all over my cloths. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 5:56pm - the_reverend ""] I wanted to put CT pride in the title, buti have a headache and slurred my words. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 6:14pm - xanonymousx ""] hmmmmmm Acacia Core? Bore Core whats the best way to describe this? Slop-core? |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 6:21pm - the_reverend ""] someone just came up to me and asked "why am I here" reffering to themself and not me. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 6:29pm - xanonymousx ""] hahahaaha. what did you say? |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 6:34pm - the_reverend ""] something like "how do you think I feel?" or "i should be asking myself that." I'm very funny, trust me. astrada: they were late and jumped on after stilleto. Basic emo stuff that usually opens up drifters. The vocals were all off-key and emo. It's awesome though seeing 80 kids out there watching an opening band at 6 on a wednesday. One of the guitarists broke a string and borrowed one from someone in a timely demise. At the end, the bassplayer did something dumb with his bass and the headstock hit his cab. next one of these shows, I'm going to bring a vacuum machine that sucks the youth out of people and bathes me in their youth-giving blood..er.. life-giving youth. I will immediately start listening to NIN and the cure like it was my religion. Ah, who am I kidding? Everyone will figure out that it's just a vacuum that smells of gas with some be-dazzled gems and a broken tape deck attached to it. If not right away, surely once I suck up someone's hair. |

| __________________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 7:27pm - Dwellingsickness ""] The Rev is very humorous... I laugh at him all the time. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 8:00pm - the_reverend ""] frownz.. no sexy time for either of you bitches. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 8:07pm - the_reverend ""] flyash: from somewhere south of Boston. I kept thinking of the nu-metal band, flyleaf. They reminded me of a nu-metal band that turns into a metalcore band. Sounded a lot unearth.. Sort of. a timely demise: remember when these guys used to post all the time. They sounded a lot different. More like Uneath than Zao. I mean that in a good way, I guess. they also were the first band that had people kicking up their heels and dancing. only blood will tell: sort of the brickhouse, this was probably their best sounding and best participating set I've seen. The crowd moved around a lot and it seemed like there were was a full out floor of people doing jazercise. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 8:53pm - the_reverend ""] Always & Forever: they took a long time to set up all of their lights. You saw dave getting antsy, but then they started. There were tons of wires all over the floor to control a couple strings of lights. Crowd-wise, they nailed it. People went nuts, arms reached god (or some junk.. I just didn't want to say reach the sky), and asians flew.. Er.. Asian. It's funny watching everyone line up in front of the band and then *wham* as soon as the hammer drops, the front row is cleared out. In the end of their set, I began to fear for myself and I was behind the band. It was like a churning sea of people and when it ended, there was no blood only a human pyraid of people singing along. Crazy that something as frenzied as that ends with smiles and hugs, instead of fists and blood. I started their set with a terrible headache and ended it feeling good. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 9:24pm - the_reverend ""] handshake murders, the: wow, not only where there people moshing for the whole set, there was even a fight during their last song. Amazing. I was so worried that people wouldn't be into their set. Since they aren't the same cookie-cutter mosh-breakdown-bridge-clean vocals as a lot of bands that these kids parents let them out of the house for. Especially on a schol night! Well, summer school night. The set was over very quickly. Shame cause they sounded damn good. these dudes have been on constant tour since their CD came out. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 10:05pm - the_reverend ""] banner, the: they said they were playing a short set, but this was basically the same amount of songs they play live. Somehow they released a new CD without me knowing regardless, this band has been on constant tour mode since time forgotten. That is to say since they got back together. Good set though. THM was what got me to this show and the banner's assured misfits cover was the icing on the cake. A cake that looks good on the outside, but then when you get you close it's just cardboard, frosting, it's stail and smells like cigarettes. That's nothing about the band. More about the smoking situtation of the club. Did I mention yet that smoking sucks more dick than the girlfriend in clerks? yeah, like that. Smoking is just a big flipping cock parking lot. Have fun sucking on ya fags mate! |

| __________________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 10:30pm - Ryan_Noseworthy ""] Yeah, I smoke, but I hate it how they let people smoke in there now... I always go outside when I play there |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 12:14am - the_reverend ""] xax: that's why if you read a word later, I said summer school |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 12:15am - the_reverend ""] going through pictures now. HOLY SHIT, the people in the crowd are making the funniest faces ever. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 12:18am - the_reverend ""] I'm sitting on the toilet, going through the pictures and laughing my ass off... oops.. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 12:42am - the_reverend ""] pictures? |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 1:26am - TheWrldCanWait ""] the_reverend said: a timely demise: remember when these guys used to post all the time. Yeah, we really don't post at all anymore. But I'll try and start again. Just for you, Rev. Thanks for the killer pictures. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 12:45pm - immortal13 ""] Yeah, the fact that they allow smoking in there now gives me a headache every time I'm there, makes it hard to see, and makes it so hard to scream because the air is so dry. Dave hates it when I go outside, but sometimes I just have to. Which brings me to my next point in case, I'm basically considered Dave's right hand man now, so expect me to be doing a lot more shows at the legion, and you can also expect them to be a lot more solid lineups. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 2:36pm - joeycobra ""] yeah when we played there last week I thought about how I haven't been to a venue that allowed smoking in ages. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 6:08pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] They allow smoking inside because the Legion complained about cigarette butts and trash outside. So, now there is no re-entry and smoking has to be inside. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 9:56pm - xanonymousx ""] [img] that girl got smacked. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 9:56pm - xanonymousx ""] since when did all these girls go to shows? its like jailbait city for scene kids. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 10:19pm - xanonymousx ""] [img] double whammy.... dunks and a TRIVIUM tattoo. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 10:27pm - goatcatalyst ""] xanonymousx said:[img] double whammy.... dunks and a TRIVIUM tattoo. sounds like a prime euthanasia candidate to me |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 11:20pm - xanonymousx ""] now i know what the rev was lol'ing about in the pics. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 27,2007 2:13pm - massmayhem ""] fuck the NH SCENE IT SUCKS no one ever knows how to fight one on one to bad that kid in the yellow shirt is a bitch and talked mad shit after all the fighting runnin around bragin about it .... if he was so tough he could have done something after the show but no.... hes a bitcch and when i see him i will see him |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 27,2007 2:41pm - aaron_michael ""] massmayhem said: hes a bitcch and when i see him i will see him fighting in groups is the way things go at these kinds of shows. not fair by far, I completely agree with that, but going online and complaining about him not making a move one on one, then saying you're gonna do him in the next time you see him is just pure unheteroness. he didn't do anything after, and neither did you. just let it pass. he made a mountain out of a molehill about a situation that wasn't as extream as he wanted it to be, and you didn't defend your pride when all his friends weren't around. it's all even. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 27,2007 3:25pm - the_reverend ""] I find that little kids, hopped up on adrenaline will try to act cool around their friends after something like this. |

Only reason I was at this show was because Dave asked me to run the door/some security. But if you're gonna bitch about some kid and call him a pussy when you didn't even do anything, you really have no right to call him a pussy. I know this may be hard on you kids, but someone's gotta say it. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 4:19pm - Brandon.. ""] Fighting at shows is lame anyways. Thats one of the main reasons its such a pain in the ass to find a venue now a days. |
