What are your thoughts on Skinless..................[views:7100][posts:43]__________________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 10:18am - 5 Minutes Hate ""] Hey Everyone, I'm writing this to anyone that might be interested in assisting me in getting Skinless to the Bombshelter in early April? I had the show all booked and then the venue backed out on me and I can't find any other place in VT so I'm just wondering if the Bombshelter might be a good place for this show? If anyone can help me out that would be very cool. Thanks Jim |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 10:20am - RustedAngel ""] don't like em... now especially. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 10:24am - litacore ""] I thought they were interesting for about 10 minutes to be fair though I haven't heard sacrifice to survival yet |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 10:26am - the_reverend ""] I liked the first 2 cds. the 3rd is a good death metal cd, but not a good skinless cd. Their live show is pretty awesome still, but I doubt that people would go to the bombshelter as people suck. I'm totally disillusioned from people now a days... metal people especially. not the people on this board.. just all the others that don't go to shows. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 10:33am - 5 Minutes Hate ""] Yeah, this really sucks, if this show could happen in Central VT as originally planned we'd have a ton of kids out for it. Too bad the Bombshelter's weak! Do they even promote their shows at all? I'd hate to have to deal with them on this show but I'm running out of options. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 10:47am - the_reverend ""] I don't think they do. they have sooo much potential too |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 10:52am - 5 Minutes Hate ""] They sure do have potential. My cousin lives in Portsmouth and spends a lot of time in Manchester and he was at the 5 Minutes Hate show there and had no clue the place even existed. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 10:58am - the_reverend ""] um... lives in portsmouth? that's where I live... wonder if her listens to my radio show. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 11:21am - 5 Minutes Hate ""] I'm sure he would if you got us in there to play live! (hint hint) Actually I'm sure he does anyway, he's into all types of heavy shit. Now that I think about it he actually lives in Exeter! |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 11:26am - the_reverend ""] oh, a rich boy. I get it. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 12:52pm - 5 Minutes Hate ""] Well, he's like 36 or so, his Mom owned the house and sold it to him. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing? |
| _________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 12:58pm - morkul ""] skinless is bad ass pretty much with or without john on drums. the first two cd's swing hard, but the third is a bit of a stretch. it takes a couple of listens to get used to it. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 1:13pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] old skinless was good. the demos and progression towards evil |
| _______________________________ [Feb 11,2004 1:33pm - moran ""] never heard 'em |
| ________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 2:51pm - George ""] boring as hell. i like one song off progression towards evil. there are countless better metal bands, skinless is completely overrated. but i havnt heard the new one, my friend has it though and says its lame. nu metal parts, singing and chuga breakdowns or something. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 3:00pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] I don't think they're amazing or anything, but I do find them very entertaining; relatively simple, but fun. I too have not heard the latest album yet. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 3:08pm - morkul ""] George said:boring as hell. i like one song off progression towards evil. there are countless better metal bands, skinless is completely overrated. but i havnt heard the new one, my friend has it though and says its lame. nu metal parts, singing and chuga breakdowns or something. define new metal, by your definition. because that is just ridiculous. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 3:15pm - George ""] i dont know. like i said, i havnt heard the cd i only heard that it sucks and it wouldnt shock me since they're not a very good band anyway |
| ________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 3:20pm - morkul ""] so you can't explain your own words is what you are saying? |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 3:31pm - RustedAngel ""] morkul said:so you can't explain your own words is what you are saying? here's an explaination for you: SKINLESS SUCKS TEH CACK!!! |
| ________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 3:50pm - morkul ""] I see. that will do just fine. |

| __________________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 4:30pm - dwellingsickness ""] I used to like them ,i don't think i actually own an album,but i got a couple demo's from way back when, And I had them on a Compilation i did a few years ago ,I dunno, i don't think they would draw at the bombshelter,it would be the same 30-40 kids as the past few death metal shows there,and they were better shows,anyways good luck with that, I don't think serge will go for it,specially if they ask for a lot of cash,like i heard they do. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 11,2004 4:53pm - blue ""] i agree. show booked + absurd guarantee + average turnout + serge = mad guy. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 5:01pm - HiImPaul ""] Skinless was good during the demo and progression towards evil era i thought everything after that was kinda weak |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 5:02pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""] Progression Towards Evil = good... Foreshaodwing, had it's moments... new cd = homo |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 11,2004 5:48pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] try booking it in Boston. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 9:55am - 5 Minutes Hate ""] Hey Joe, Where would be a good spot in Boston for this? |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 10:38am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Middle East upstairs or Bill's Bar i would say |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 10:40am - litacore ""] I would see Skinless at Mideast up what I hate about Bill's is that it's on Lansdowne aka Shitgay Street |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 10:59am - Joe/NotCommon ""] haha lansdowne street is pretty gay. One NC band is banned from bill's bar and another one refuses to play there again. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 11:05am - litacore ""] I'm pissed I have to see Liz Phair at Axis. Ugh. (haha, I'm moonlighting with indie-girl-pop singers, who'd-a-thunk?) |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 11:05am - succubus ""] wait, when is that? |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 11:14am - litacore ""] Sunday March 28 at Avalon (not Axis, oops--same cack Fenway though) wanna go with me? If I review it for Defy it'll be hard for me to be objective because I worship her. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 11:16am - succubus ""] so worship her...that's fine...i'm going to try to get you a ticket...what about an interview? btw ..i also emailed you |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 11:18am - litacore ""] aw, SWEET! you rule as much as skipping school! she's the queen. Maybe I should start a thread--this was supposed to be about skinless. Sorry guys! |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 11:51am - Kalopsia ""] 1st Skinless album: good 2nd Skinless album: One of my all time favorite cds. 3rd Skinless album: dissapointing i still like them. i think they can still kick ass now that Longstreth is gone. he's an amazing drummer but not the type that Skinless needs |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 11:57am - A_Cold_Reality ""] overrated shitty band, they have put on good live shows though! |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 12:27pm - 5 Minutes Hate ""] I think I got this taken care of back up here in VT. What a feasco! I also was working with another venue on a seperate show with a couple relapse bands and my band got screwed out of that deal after all was said and done. It's been a shitty week but it's starting to shape up! |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 1:06pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] i was trying to book the macabre tour in boston and got screwed. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 1:24pm - the_reverend ""] macabre had 0 turn out in NH |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 1:31pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] NH is gay |
| __________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 1:32pm - succubus ""] then stop going there :spineyes: |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 12,2004 1:50pm - the_reverend ""] joe's banned form NH, I thought... remember: there's a fine line between a stalker and a predator. |
