“I actually like how quiet it is around here,” he said, before adding with his trademark cackle, “Of course, once we start playing it gets not so quiet in a real hurry.”
not outside the club it doesn't

This band NEVER drew crowds of more than 1,000 to their shows, nor more than a hundred at best. What a crock of shit. I've been to their shows in the late 80s, some in the 90s. Not even shows with big headliners!
[Jul 10,2005 3:23pm - silky ""]
wow. I'd really like to know what's on their minds.

Keep talking you fags....... We play shows everywhere...... Not just in New England like most of you losers. I've got video's to prove our draw. Don't forget, clubs advertised on the radio all the time several years ago. Plus, the scene exploding. Now it's like, what scene? I've been to many local shows in MA., NH., CONN., ME, VT., and RI., The crowds range from 50 to a 100 people.
The guy Shawn who wrote that article will tell you how the scene was.... He was there!!
[Jul 12,2005 2:42am - anonymous ""]
Oh, I was there too man. 'The Scene'. Local metal fan since about 1982. Yes, that is before your band existed. Salisbury Beach, NH, the whole lot of them. Atomicaust, Demise, Formicide, Subjugator, Deslok, Cardinal Syn, etc, etc. I'm not talking shit about CSDO, I have nothing but respect for Eric and a band who keeps it true for so many years. Just pointing out the glaring exaggeration in that article. Current CSDO draws are rarely above a few dozen at best, and some of those old shows with the bigger bands were around 300-500. I'm not even saying you didn't play at shows with maybe 1,000 people, but you weren't the band that drew them, the headliners did.
But I wouldn't go calling the other bands around here losers either, from what I gather it's been about 2 decades now and you've never even gotten a record deal (except Screaming Ferret, right?). Many current bands draw a fuckload more than CSDO, I know, I've booked your shows
So if you're going to start comparing to them, who is the 'fag' now?[Jul 12,2005 7:19am - Kalopsia ""]

Eric is someone of immense talent. Instead of trying to score changing his music or joining a "chic" band to make the fast buck, he stuck with what he beleives in. Stayed the course. He someone to be commended. Not many people like him with his talent would have done the same thing.

What's up faggots????? Hey anonymous...... Hiding behind the keyboard like everybody else. Who are you? Let me tell you something about the local scene......... Most of the bands don't do anywork to get people into shows (stop blaming the clubs). Every local band on the scene can't draw more than 50 people........ Sure, we're struggling right now. 'Cause, our product isn't in the stores yet!!
The biggest problem today with most of you is...... You're friends with each other but you turn around and stab each other in the back.
The other thing is....... You need to promote yourselves!! E-mail isn't going to get people to your shows. I need to work together and put fliers everywhere. Even I've been slacking with my fliers lately 'cause I'm too busy with my stores!!
[Jul 13,2005 2:51am - anonymous ""]
First off, you IMMEDIATELY ruin any chance of anyone taking you seriously when you say 'What's up faggots?'
Secondly, I am not hiding from you. This board allows anonymous posting, and I choose to use it. I am not afraid of the wrath of CSDO! Oh no!
Thirdly, I don't need you to tell me about the local scene. I've been in it just as long, if not longer than you. I thought that was clear from my last post. You can choose to believe that or not, I know the truth so it doesn't matter.
Fourth, PLENTY of bands do work to get people to their shows. Otherwise they wouldn't have a damn person at their shows. And I have seen many local bands here draw FAR more than 50 people. Email can actually be very effective if the people actually want to see the band. Again this is a generalization you have made, I do not know where it comes from.
Lastly, I was not insulting you in my original post, I have no beef with CSDO. I was just pointing out that article had some rather glaring exaggerations, and defending the other local bands you were mocking when I was discussing your lack of a record deal for a very long time. As an honest person loyal to the scene and his roots, you would probably concur when such an exaggeration takes place.
Here is a productive suggestion for your band. Take it or leave it. For the past two decades, CSDO has lacked anything resembling a real band logo. Why not pay someone to design a decent logo, or do it yourself? Even the bands you worship had decent (if simple) logos that are very recognizable and have stood the test of time. 'Candy Striper Death Orgy' is a recognizable name already, just think what you can do with this if you get a decent logo. But take a look at the 'logos' on your website. Is that befitting a thrash band? I think not.
Take a look at the other, younger extreme metal bands around here. Look at the logos for Terminally Your Aborted Ghost (who also have a 4-word long name like yourselves and have an excellent logo for it). Or fuck, look at that band Extinction Agenda, look at their logo. They are a pure speed/thrash band and have an excellent logo. Why haven't you done this yet, man? Are you eternally rebelling against the medium of the metal band logo?
I know some of the guys here are pretty damn harsh on your band, you play a very oldschool type of metal and there is nothing wrong with that. But you cannot remain static for eternity. Some progressions are required at some point, right?

I love old school thrash. fucking love it. I grew up on that shit. csdo sucks. they played at the first show I ever went to back in '90 or '91 with delusion and nuclear assult. csdo was fucking horrible. every time I've had the misfortune of seeing them since I've always felt this mixture of pity and revulsion. normaly, when I don't like a band I'll keep it to myself. but, since they're a bunch of shit talking douchebags, I will always go out of my way to let the world know what a fucking joke they are.

Like moths to the flame, bands that change themselves to fit the times are almost invariably destroyed. Evolution is not without exception a positive occurrence, especially when driven by greed rather than artistry. Or, to place a finer point on it: spinelessness rather than self-confidence.
Legendary Newton thrash metallers Candy Striper Death Orgy – who perform this evening with MOD at The Bomb Shelter in Manchester – understand the path of perseverance and remaining true better than most. The band has been keeping the torch of New England heavy metal burning for close to 20 years now while lesser bands chased trends holding up matches.
For CSDO ringleader Eric Paone, “Death to False Metal” is more than a slogan on hipster T-shirts.
“I’ve had people saying for years, ‘Oh, when are you going to grow up and mellow out,’ ” the 34-year-old vocalist/guitarist said. “But I’m not going to write an acoustic song so I can fit someone else’s definition of ‘growth.’ If I ever want to write an acoustic song, I’ll do it. But no one should hold their breath waiting for it. In a lot of ways, I’m angrier now than ever before.
“I came out of the womb listening to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, and I’ve been banging my head to Metallica since 1983,” Paone added. “I don’t do nice.”
Now with heavy metal music experiencing its first bona fide resurgence since the late ’80s, CSDO is poised to finally break through later this summer with its upcoming slab of high-energy classic thrash, “Nitromethane.”
“Nitromethane is the fuel drag racers use,” Paone explained. “It seems to fit our music. We try to come at our songs fast and furious. We hope people feel that sort of power when we play.”
The band sees the upcoming record as a souped-up version of what it has been banging away at for the better part of the last two decades.
“It’s the same old death and destruction,” Paone laughed. “The music hasn’t changed that much. Playing out for so many years, we’ve nurtured the sound and gotten really comfortable with it, but the basics haven’t been altered much. We’re actually really proud of that.”
Candy Striper first began in 1987 while Paone was still in high school. After a couple false starts, the band got serious in 1988, debuting at the Salem Rock Wars with a set so brutally blistering the organizers tried to pull the plug halfway through.
The powers that be may have hated CSDO, but the kids loved them.
Before long, the band was drawing crowds of more than 1,000 to its shows as one of the mainstays of an East Coast thrash scene that also included Formacide, Wargasm, Subjugated and Nuclear Assault.
Everything changed in the ’90s, however, with the sudden explosion of grunge.
“A lot of metal bands suddenly started changing into alternative bands to try to get signed,” Paone said. “ ‘All aboard the gravy train!’ Nobody wanted to stand up for metal. Bands used to go to each other’s shows and help each other out. But in the ’90s everyone got greedy and started looking out for Number 1. The scene fell apart.”
Still, Paone doesn’t have any regrets about when he came into the scene.
“We came in on the tail end of big thing,” he said. “If we had showed up a year earlier, we probably would have been signed to a crappy label and gotten screwed.
“It doesn’t matter,” Paone continued. “We always played for the people in the pit, no one else. Those people are always there, whether the metal is huge or hibernating. We were happy to stick around and keep the scene alive.”
Sort of like Yoda, Paone always knew metal would return triumphant one day.
“It was too powerful to stay underground forever,” he explained. “This is an exciting time. All these older bands like Testament and Meliah Rage are coming back now. More and more kids are getting into metal at the same time older people in their 30s and even 40s are coming back to it. It’s all just building again. Hopefully, it will all turn out better than last time.”
However, instead of all the subgenres currently floating around – metalcore, power metal, etc. – he’d like to see more diversity and less categorization.
“Too many metal bands sound the same these days,” Paone said. “There’s this trend that’s sort of based on playing 10 million blast beats, ripping off some Slayer and Metallica riffs, then going into white noise. They build up to one highlight and the rest of the song blows. It’s all style, no substance. That’s the one thing that could kill this new scene.”
It’s also what creates the need for a tough band with songwriting prowess like CSDO, Paone conceded.
“It’s true,” he said. “I’m not grunting my brain out like I’m being stabbed. We don’t have any gimmicks or fancy, tight clothes. We prefer to just get onstage and let the music do the talking. I always like this music because it made you lose it and forget all your problems. I don’t want to ruin that by being dishonest and making us into a fashionable band.”
In return, the band only seeks honesty from its fans as well, part and parcel of a relationship Paone sees as necessarily equitable.
“The coolest part for me has always been to see people in the audience feeling our songs the same way I feel watching the bands I love,” Paone said. “I still go off in the pit. That energy shared between band and fan builds on itself and creates a bigger experience for everyone.”
As for being New Hampshire-based, Paone said it doesn’t bother him one bit.
“I actually like how quiet it is around here,” he said, before adding with his trademark cackle, “Of course, once we start playing it gets not so quiet in a real hurry.”

Hahahha. Shut the fuck up dude. CSDO is NOT a successful band. They are a complete failure. 20 years and no record deal until one of their friend's gracefully offered to help them. How do they even know if someone named Mike ever worked at a club where they were booked? How do we know that you're not even lying and that you know very well a Mike booked shows for you!
Give me a fucking break. You are full of shit, and you are probably Eric Paone posting in multiple names to make himself look good. Guess what Arrik_ Your posts are just as 'anonymous' as that other 'anonymous'. Don't tell people you're going to bust them for slander or misinformation when you're fucking lying and spreading propaganda yourself!
Your band fuckin sucks man, that is the reality. You can try and dress it up as they've been true and loyal for so many years. Who fucking cares? YOUR BAND SUCKS. GIVE UP AND MOVE ON! The only people that 'like' your band are your fucking friends who are lying to be nice to you! I just saw you not long ago with Crisis and MOD. YOU SUCKED! Everyone there thought so, and that was playing WITH another oldschool thrash band!
COMPLETE FAILURE, Candy Striper Death Orgy! Kicking a dead horse, over and over again. Bye now! Enjoy your eternal mediocrity!

Thrash is pretty much dead, there's only so many thrash riffs you can conjur up that don't sound exactly like slayer/exodus/overkill. CSDO is basically a slayer cover band at best.

just because you have been in the "scene" for 20 years or whatever does not give you the right to be all fucking high and mighty. I have been listening to metal and the like since 1983, and before that my brothers got me into Sabbath in 1978, but I don't act like I am anything special due to the time factor. I love the "new" shit that comes out, and alot of it from around here like Goratory, leukorrhea, Teratism, etc...
Who cares about draws to shows. The people that show up are cool as fuck and are there to support that band. Big fucking deal. And yeah, tons of local bands have played out of state. Have you been hiding under and fucking rock? Shit, Leukorrhea has toured the whole USA coast to coast with international bands, and from what I recall Goratory went to Japan among other places around the globe. CSDO= asshole "elisist".

I agree with that. Yeah, every genre can stagnate. Such as death metal and eighty million suffocation rip offs. Or the 6788899.9 million at the gates wannabes. Doesn't mean every band is that way, nor does it mean thrash is in any way more stagnant than any other form of metal.

Weeee! I'm a pussy, maybe I can take it up the ass from Eric himself!
I'm not sure I can agree with Rusted Angel...I think thrash is pretty far from dead. It created black and death metal, metalcore and melodeath, so it lives on through those, and if you don't believe me, go ask the bands who created those genres. Not only that, but Slayer, Kreator, Destruction, all those bands are huge fucking draws to this day, even larger in other countries, those are some of the most popular metal bands in the world, and can actually live off their music! I won't even get into the Swedish melodeath/thrash scene, which is all influenced by thrash or actually playing thrash and outsells just about any other genre of metal...fuck, I'm not saying I like them, but thrash-influenced 'metalcore' bands like Shadows Fall and Unearth have been on the fucking Billboard charts, some of them quite high up! How many death metal bands can claim that?
Also, the whole 'thrash' is easy to play? I can name dozens of records that beg to differ, but I'm hoping Shlep was just kidding. What 'talented', non-'lazy' band is he in?
Exodus, Slayer, and Overkill are only a few of the more popular US thrash bands, they didn't create the genre and they are not the most musically talented. Overkill hasn't been good in a very long time. Many other bands predated them and many used far different riff structures, vocals, subject material, etc.

I really don't think so. I hear a lot more diversity in various thrash bands than in death metal. The difference between, say, Slayer and Watchtower or Exodus and Death Angel is far greater than the difference between Cannibal Corpse and Suffocation or Carcass and Impaled...not to mention death metal is DERIVED directly from thrash metal, so when you hear death metal, you are hearing the evolution of thrash, with gruffer vocals and gorier lyrics, and maybe some different tunings and 'groovier' riffs. Sorry, but that is a fact, and you can go and ask any of your favorite death metal bands where it comes from.
You know something though, thrash and death metal both kick ass, and you can actually do a lot with both of them, so arguing about it is almost pointless. Why don't we just enjoy both of them?!?!
[Jul 14,2005 12:34pm - RustedAngel ""]
how many bands that sound exactly like exodus/overkill are touring right now? not very fuckin many. because nobody wants to here any old school thrash ripoff bands. *cough* csdo
as a guitarist, you can do a lot more with death metal, thrash you sort of have some rules you have to follow with certain beats, ect. if you're too exerimental with thrash, you won't be considered thrash anymore.
