| ________________________________________________ [May 6,2006 8:37pm - guy from the red chord ""] say what you will, we are stoked to go play at a venue like this. I get the impression they will probably let as many people in as possible so come down whenever. labels or not,all the bands have made an attempt to go back to play smaller venues whenever we can. I know quite a few kids that used to come to our shows hate on us these days, but our roots were always in kocs and elks lodges. just because we have done bigger tours doesn't mean we ever lost sight of where we came from. those are some of the funnest shows we ever played and many of those kept us motivated to keep playing. you can say whatever you want about us signing with a non-diy label, but c'mon...ed gein and doomriders are diy as fuck. and for the record as big as metal blade is they're still 100% independently owned which is more than most big labels xan say. I hope to see everyone tomorrow. it will be a blast. |

| ____________________________________ [May 7,2006 3:20am - Sacreligion ""] i might be there too this place is far from small, by the way just keep the energy use to a minimum...bad wiring |

| ____________________________________ [May 7,2006 10:31am - anonymous ""] doors at 5, shows at 5:30 |
| ______________________________________ [May 7,2006 11:47am - the_reverend ""] whoah, good thing I looked here. I thought it started at 6pm |
| _____________________________________ [May 7,2006 3:55pm - the_reverend ""] leaving now. |
| _____________________________________ [May 7,2006 5:41pm - the_reverend ""] holy shit! the disappearer is on and playing now. they are awesome. what a great surprise! |
| _____________________________________ [May 7,2006 6:46pm - the_reverend ""] disappearer: when I walked in, I thought doomsiders was playing nateless. Took me a second to realize that it was disappearer. they sound more like sonic youth each time I see them. granted, I don't get to see them that often since doomriders is always touring now. I thought they had a CD release show in allston? They said this was their CD release show too. ed gein: good set, short, but I knew all the songs. 2 old ones and 3-4 new ones. It's hard watching them up on a stage. This is a band that should be seen in a basement show. Their sound is particularly ussuited for a stage/high ceilings. I guess I'm spoiled now. |
| ______________________________ [May 7,2006 8:34pm - sever ""] red chord at the qvcc?! how do they plan to fit everyone there? |

| _____________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:00am - sean griff ""] rumors ?//??? about what |
| __________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:02am - brian_dc ""] despite my diy comment, I have nothing but good things to say about all of the bands on this show. just throwing that out there. |
| ______________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:08am - Joshtruction ""] sean griff said:rumors ?//??? about what About the Rev singing dreaming in dog years and blushing more than you could ever imagine! Aaron, I wish you handed me your camera so I could have took more pics for you hahaha. |
| _______________________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:11am - slowlypeelingtheflesh ""] hahahah aaron those are the best RTTP pictures ever. |
| _________________________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:15am - josh fucking hates you ""] wow. nothing went wrong. might have been almost 200 people. not sure. well over 100. Disappearer - this band was really good. played only 2 long songs. drummer makes funny faces. Ed gein - this band reminds me of norma jean for some reason. lots of off time stuff. lots of kids where digging it and there was no moshing. I was suprised the white belt kids where able to contain themselves. first blood - i guess they are good at what they do. I hate this style of hardcore so i can't give this band a fair chance. moshy mosh time. i dont care that people dance. i don't care that they run into me when im on the side of the pit. but do you really need to purposely add that extra punch and kick towards people on the side of the pit who are obviously not dancing? and stop with the fucking cartwheels. next band please. Doom riders - fucking rockstars. the room was split for this band. 1/2 the room was kinda up front and enjoying it. the other half where too cool at the back of the room yelling things like you suck. the singer had fun with the hecklers. could not hear the vox for shit. The red chord - good set. the energy seemed to come and go. maybe cause they played new songs people didn't know? i don't follow this band close enough to know the difference. think i recognized 3 songs. these mosh pits where way better cause people where having fun and there was way less random punching, kicking, and cartwheels. yes it is true aaron temporarily traded in his camera for a mic. many people cheered him into it. " I've never done this before" aaron cries just before he proceeded to rock out quite possibly harder than he ever rocked out before. he is a natural. looks like he has been doing it in front of the mirror practicing for years. well it payed off. The "professional" sound guy - since the sound guy is as much a part of the show as the bands. This guy is the same knob from most shows upstairs at the palladium. the shows that happens to sound like shit. i just don't think he gives a flying fuck about metal bands. typical. during doomriders he sat there while the vox could not be heard, finally the bassist of Ed Gein went and turned him up while the soundguy sat in the corner. He used a mackie 808s powered mixer (340 watts per side @ 4 ohms) running 2 mackie c300z's (150/300 rms/program 8 ohms) daisy chained per side. meaning each speaker had 170 watts.......no wonder he was changing a blown woofer before the show, he has no headroom and the speakers are underpowered. "pro" sound guys should not be using powered mixers. *note to promoter* make sure you get at least 2000 watts to the FOH especially on a show like this. 5000 if you want everything micced up. |

| _________________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:27am - thenamesfroxxx ""] Aaron...you kind of reminded me of the like a Madonna - Like A Virgin video, mainly you were thrashing around on your news and banging your head...pretty funny...kudos to you for being up there the whole time |
| _________________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:29am - thenamesfroxxx ""] damn i cant type...lets do it again Aaron...you kind of reminded me of the like a Madonna - Like A Virgin video, mainly cause you were thrashing around on your knees and banging your head...pretty funny...kudos to you for being up there the whole time |
| ______________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:31am - the_reverend ""] I must say that I was so sore at this show. yesterday, I decided that after 2 years of not running that I could run up and down a full soccer field for over 2 hours. this morning, I could hardly get out of bed. all that went away the minute my camera was in my hands. first blood: this is the second time I got to see these guys. good hardcore. some of the lyrical content was funny, but the music was solid. The drummer was in the band crematorium when they came around. this is the first time I've seen people from dancing in any form other than wrestling. Surprising. actually, not really since a carload ran up to this show from brockton. People moved out of the way fast. doomriders: this was basically the same set as they played the other times I saw them, but they got longer to play that at metalfest. they don't jump off the stage and do cartwheels or whatever so the people moved back up to the front. they fully rocked out. the sunglasses are always a nice touch. I wonder if they played in europe with the glasses on. red chord, the: well, I ran around taking pictures. it was probably the longest TRC I've seen in 2 years. I think they played a new song cause I didn't know it. At the end of the set, I was ready to jump up on the radiator and get a bunch of photos of people playing dreaming in dog years. Guy turns to me and says "what will it take to get you up here". to the best of my ability, I tried to get out of it, but finally, I got up on the stage probably as red as a beet. one of the gunface's family members took my camera. anyhow, I couldn't hear anything with earplugs in so I kept looking down and people would be singing completely different things that me. ha! after a minute of head banging, everything was alright and ok. People came up on the stage and started piling up around me. I was thinking in terms of when I have my camera and this would be a great time to step 2 steps back and take pictures. but I realized they were probably trying to sing along so I turned putting the mic in peoples faces failing miserably. I looked up and saw joey above all the people who were around me, but I could get the mic up to him. I turned around and put the mic down behind me and um.. it was over. that was a fun thing that I've never done. Time to buy the zen of screaming cause I have no screaming ability. This marks the firs time that I was up on the stage screaming into a mic. Once I screamed into a mic in the crowd. that was dying fetus at the palladium on jan 12, 2001. |
| ______________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:32am - the_reverend ""] josh, at home, I sing to really really pussy indie rock. ask carina. |
| _____________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:56am - Sacreligion ""] wicked pissed i missed this dammit...being poor sucks |
| _________________________________________________ [May 8,2006 12:58am - josh fucking hates you ""] ha. like? |
| _____________________________________ [May 8,2006 1:01am - the_reverend ""] on the way home, rainer maria and belle & sebastian. I like the music, but it's how I stay awake when I drive at night. |
| _____________________________________ [May 8,2006 1:17am - the_reverend ""] oh and people are too fucking lazy to go out to shows. this place should have had twice the number of people. I also think that when people think a show might sellout, they are too lazy to even try. though, there are also A LOT more shows then a few years ago... people can go to a show a night and in doing so have to decided not to go to 5 others shows. plus, like josh said at the show, everyone is a fucking band with their own shows to play. we are a product of our own good fortunes and abilities at building up this musical scene. |
| ____________________________________ [May 8,2006 1:24am - Sacreligion ""] oh now he's a philosiphizer good point though...in my defense, i'm poor |
| _________________________________ [May 8,2006 1:25am - brian_dc ""] I wish we didn't play the show we played tonight so I could've gone to this...I won't lie and say that our show was anywhere near as good a time as this one probably was. |
| _________________________________ [May 8,2006 1:43am - brian_dc ""] the lambgoat thread on this show is pretty funny. Jed's a funny fellow. |
| ____________________________________ [May 8,2006 8:48am - i_am_not_me ""] You think that's bad singing to indie...when I had my Daytona and didn't have a radio in it, I used to sing my thoughts, set to video game music (Usually the first level of Super Mario Bros. 2), to keep myself awake when driving at night. |
| ________________________________ [May 8,2006 1:36pm - xjoeyx ""] red chord-awsome set the guitars sounded great and filled up the room, the bass had a good amount of low end, and the drums sounded pretty good except i couldnt really hear the double bass or the snare. guys vocals shred, and so do the revs. however rev aaron i would have liked to hear more lows and a bit more highs, your voice was a bit stronger at the dying fetus show. i hope that your vocals are string as usual on the recording...hehe |

| ________________________________ [May 8,2006 1:47pm - xjoeyx ""] i was so pumped to be up there with the red chord that it was so fast and such a blur that i dont even remember being up there or the sing hehe...i think it was just pure adrenaline... |
| _____________________________________ [May 8,2006 2:05pm - the_reverend ""] I know exactly what you are saying there. totally a blur. I didn't even get a chance to my sick reverse inhale gurgle. I was too worried I would accidentally chip someone's teeth with the mic like happens every week at romans. |
