| _____________________________________________ [Sep 19,2008 3:27pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Dillinger Escape Plan @ Middle East this past December I think? That band has the absolute best energy and disposition on stage. Best part was the bassist pushing around a bouncer 3x the size of him while still playing, and the singer telling everyone to get on stage and stagedive all at once so security couldn't do shit. GWAR every time I've seen them, for obvious reasons. The 1st time was the absolute best though, since it was like a dream come true to finally get soaked in miscellaneous colored fluids. At The Gates, mainly because they're legendary as fuck and never thought I'd ever get to see them live ever. Napalm Death w/ Macabre @ the Palladium a few years ago. I had waited so long to see them, and they're the band that I think is responsible for me getting into "extreme" music if you want to call it that. I remember Barney's mic cutting out but he didn't give a shit and just yelled at the top of his lungs for a song or two. Oddly enough, I could still somewhat hear him. Watchmaker. Probably the loudest and most frightening band I've ever seen live. Municipal Waste, anywhere except the Palladium. They easily have and cause the most fun out of any band, ever. Eternal Suffering. ES was the first local death metal band I ever got into, and seeing them almost every weekend was fucking awesome, no matter what lineup they had. The Red Chord, around the time they changed their name from Ictus. Every time I've seen TRC it's a blast, but those oooold shows at the Revere YMCA and Cafe Mio were fucking awesome. Guy's vocals were way scarier than they ever have been on record. There are many more, but those are the ones that stick out in my mind right now. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 19,2008 3:48pm - vesgorenli ""] leng tche original lineup |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 19,2008 4:03pm - MadOakDevin ""] Neurosis - Chicago '07 Neurosis - Brooklyn '08 Torche when they played at MSFA the 2nd time and played a whole set of Floor!!!!!! sometime last year. Mouth of the Architect... pretty much any time I've seen them. My favorite was probably when i hiked down to NYC because I missed their boston show that tour Raise the Red Lantern - the first time they came around was pretty legendary. Black Cobra - the time they played with Acid King Daughters - the last show they played at the middle east upstairs with Russian Circles. Easily the best set I've watched them play. Converge back in like '02 or some shit. One of my first shows ever. One of the sloppiest sets ever, but amazing engery. plus someone booed luti-kriss before they were Norma Jean for saying they were a christian band. haha Meshuggah - every time... soo fuckin' good. Indian - when they played with Raise on Halloween night. Seeing dylan puke from making those vocals... sooo ill!!! Trap Them - any time. Soo fuckin' good! I always seem to get myself into trouble when they play. American Heritage - sooo good!!! There are more...whatevs |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 19,2008 4:10pm - JoeyCobra ""] Oh forgot about Meshuggah w/The Esoteric @ the Palladium in 05 I think. & Godspeed You! Black Emperor & Jackie O Motherfucker @ The Roxy(or am I thinking the Paradise) |

I was at multiple Red Chord shows at the Revere YMCA. Those shows were amazing. The set they played at the Salem Elks at the show with Unearth, Beyond the Sixth Seal, A Life Once Lost, and Sweatpant Boners was unreal though. |
