How do we make Boston metal again?[views:38783][posts:142]_________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 2:36pm - atreu77 ""] oops, that was my ann. post. all i was trying to say is that these kids(i.e middle school) listen to poop the media giants feed them. they have little to no idea about musician ship, since all the stuff they listen to is manufactured in a studio. ps- thanks, fuck! |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 2:37pm - Sacreligion ""] OB's smelled funny the last time I was there(October, I think...on my birthday actually) there's nothign wrong with Worcester, it just scares outsiders...there's a lot of cool, good bands from here and the surrounding areas i think not enough people go to shows because they're poor...it's the truth...they'd much rather spend $10 to get shitty at home then go out to pay $5+ for a cover and another $20+ on beer, not to mention gas and food and such it's a sad reality but i think it's true...that and the fact that there really isn't an AWESOME band from around here anymore...there's a lot of good bands, but not one that everyone can get behind. the genre divisions are killing it as well. when i used to go to gay nu-metal shows there'd be all sorts of different types of bands, but every person would stay and watch every band, that's a rare occurrence now |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 2:40pm - Sacreligion ""] also, a lot of people on here don't recognize what goes on outside of the metal scene...there are a ton of rock bands, rap groups, younger metalcore bands, techno, etc. that you'd never hear about but draw huge numbers to their shows the fact of the matter is that not many people really like metal |
| _____________________________ [Jan 19,2007 2:55pm - Dar ""] Too many 21+ venues is what always killed it for me For the handful of local bands that I liked enough to actually go out just to see them, I'd say 80% of the shows in MA where at a venue I couldn't get into and a good deal of the smaller nationals as well also to me looking at the lineups of a lot of local shows...it often didn't seem like bands were booked based on a common sound, maybe just slapped together cuz of mutual friends or whatever here in san francisco where I'm still really new to the scene, there are numerous tiny "underground" all ages venues that frequently put on metal shows, there's the Gilman which is also all ages (usually punk shows but GHOUL are playin there soon) and if you go to a show where a band like Hatchet or Fog of War (local thrash bands) are playing, the bill will most likely have 3 or 4 other thrash bands on it too. |

If you want to bring metal back in boston get your fat ass off the computer and start a band that will blow every other band in the area out of the water. Then when those stoooooopid middle school kids start showing up to your shows, buy your merch and provide your gas money to get home, and put food in your stomach you can get your fat ass back on the computer and talk shit to the rejects who make fun of those very same kids. Bottom line is we need all the kids we can get because bands playing for bands sure as shit isn't getting the job done. So shut the fuck up and do something positive in the (minimal) metal scene around here. So what if the kids' parents are loaded? Their fault? no. So what if they're in middle school? Yeah kid grow up faster so you can be old and waste your life on return to the pit and bitch about the scene. They are the future for this scene, so lets degrede them because they're impressionable and young and watch MTV and drives dad's cadillac on the weekend, good plan. Because I love playing in front of TS, BMR, Goreality and Abnormality every show. Fuck anyone else seeing me play. :point:gay |

| _________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 3:33pm - atreu77 ""] woah? what are you talking about? #1- i'm not talking shit #2- i was just offering up an opinion on a public forum #3- i have no idea who the band atreu is. i was simply stating the fact that underaged kids need to be exposed to as many different types metal, since all they really get is the stuff from mtv, vh1 and the radio. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 3:35pm - Sacreligion ""] dude you're not metal unless you know who atreyu is so you can make fun of them |
| _________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 3:37pm - atreu77 ""] i never made fun of a band named atreu. i have the name because i happen to like the never ending story |
| _________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 3:37pm - atreu77 ""] and i'm not a dude |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 3:51pm - Sacreligion ""] dude you totally missed the point of what i was saying dude |

| __________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 3:52pm - Niccolai ""] You wanna know another reason boston turnouts aren't as good as they could be? People are bashing that atreu77 person, solely for their name. I know they are a noob, and I know they are lieing when they say they've never heard of Atreyu and only names themselves after the little indian guy from NES, and i know they probably own at least one thursday shirt, but think about how many potential show goers/merchbuyers/show bookers never develope due to the metal elitist attitude chasing them off. By all means, make fun of Atreyu and it's cool to give people a hard time if they fit a stereo type, especially one you think is fruity, but it's the kids who listen to bands like Atreyu that are the impressionable ones that will go to shows, and support bands. I know some of you are saying 'we don't want those kids at our shows anyways'. But think about how many of them there are. If you can impress a mallcore homo with a handfull of decent metal bands, they will move on and denie that they ever listened to any gay bands (just like everyone else does). By the way atreu77, we are all capable thinkers on this board and don't need a revolutionary that no one can identify. This is a good place to network and get involved in better metal than you already are cought up in, so don't ruin the opprtuniny by giving these guys reasons to make fun of you. I recomeng that you read before posting, and not try and jump on the revolutionary bandwagon without knowing anyone here. Are my rants in this thread getting to gay? |

| _________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 3:55pm - atreu77 ""] i seriously have never heard of atreu. i mostly listen to the stuff my husband has, which is all good shit. and what is a thursday shirt? |
| _________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 3:56pm - atreu77 ""] and yes, i'm a noob, and i was just thinking out loud. no disrespect to anyone, just throwing ideas around was all |
| _________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 3:58pm - atreu77 ""] and had i known that this atreu band was not that good, i probably would've never used the name, because i seriously like the movie |

WOOO i'm in the special half that's over 2 years i'd go to more shows if i wasn't poor and had a car...but i think i already said something about this earlier |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 4:15pm - timmy porphyria ""] I not only rip on atreu77 for posting such retarded fuckery, but also agreeing with this statement . . menstrual_sweatpants_disco said:metal is stupid atreu77 said:thank you, i think? How the fuck can you even comment about building or keeping the boston metal scene alive if you agree that metal is supid retard? |
| _________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 4:18pm - atreu77 ""] that was actually in response to eriktheviking. i should've been more clear. and no, i do not in any was think that metal is stupid |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 4:26pm - timmy porphyria ""] Ok you're right. You're a self-admitted NOOB who digs metal. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 4:29pm - anonymous ""] thanks. we should try and start again. i think it was a bad case of mis-communication |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 4:35pm - timmy porphyria ""] there was no mis-communication. You said something that pissed me off and I'm letting you know about it. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 4:40pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Pour molten lead over the city of Boston. Cant get more metal than that. |

I'll take Boston, thanks. Sacreligion said:there's nothign wrong with Worcester, it just scares outsiders...there's a lot of cool, good bands from here and the surrounding areas I've never known anyone in Worcester to be an elitist, and I haven't run into anyone around here who has a crappy attitude. I think there are some pretty simple reasons why there is more happening around Worcester these days. Most of the people I know have the same attitude: Go to shows, have fun, meet new people. Most people are open to making new friends and getting more shows to happen. It's not any kind of scenester B.S. It's just simple logic. If you like going to local metal shows, and you want to continue going to local metal shows... keep going to shows, don't start unnecessary drama or be an asshole for no good reason, and if you can do something to make sure that the good shows keep happening (like booking a band or inviting a few friends to come to a show), do it. It's not rocket science. |

| _____________________________ [Jan 20,2007 6:39pm - pam ""] Also, Kelly (atreu77) is an extremely nice person that goes to a lot of shows and doesn't deserve the shitstorm she's getting. I realize she's a n00b on here and must be beaten down and stripped of her self-worth immediately but goddamn. This thread is stupid, Boston is awesome, shut the hell up. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Jan 20,2007 8:33pm - BlackMetalLady on Route 24 ""] I figured talk is cheap. I am going to do something about it. Pam I will see you tonight at the show after I stop off at a friend's house in Assonet. We can either settle this like adults and have a Merlot together or be neanderthals and fight. I would rather just try and settle this and end the drama. |
