I find it most humorous to see some of you arguing about thrash metal credentials...alot of you here were still watching the muppets while people like Eric were already thrashing in clubs throughout NE. Respect your elders, whether you like their music or not; they helped pave the way for what you're doing. Besides, the only band worth a damn out of this area in a long time is Abhorred. And I remember seeing CSDO at Northern Essex Community College back in the late '80's and it was mobbed. I'm simply giving props where they're due; "workboot mosh, workboot mosh, moshing with your workboots on, workboot mosh, workboot mosh, WHEN THRASH IS DEAD YOU'LL BE GONE", but Eric has stayed the course through good times and bad.

Oh stuff it, there are tons of bands around here who kicks CSDO's ass despite their relatively short existence. I can name at least 30 off the top of my head, and yes, despite only a few years, some of them have even gotten record deals and outdrawn CSDO (easily). They're not even the best THRASH band around here: Kevorkian's Angels, RAOV, Extinction Agenda, Cryptic Warning, already hand that band their asses, and I'm not sure any of those bands have even been around more than a few years!
See my birthyear? That's right, I was not watching the Muppets when Eric's band was already 'thrashing in clubs'. I'm sure many others are old enough too, so don't try and call others for arguing about 'credentials' when you just basically tried to tell most of us we have none. Hypocrite.

1-YOU stuff it; was I unkind to you, jerkface?
2-I agree w/ you so chill...I was never a big CSDO fan, and there have been tons of better bands out of the area. Not the point. Longevity is the point, and integrity. I've always respected Eric for those qualities even if not a fan.
3-was '77 your birth year? If so, you're still a relative newcomer...plenty of us here were already seeing Slayer at the Channel in '88 and Metallica at the Rat the same year roughly. Were you going to those shows when you were 10??? If so, I'm impressed. If not, then don't call me a hypocrite as I was supporting the extreme music underground (had a radio show on WJUL, "Rotten to the 'Core" from 87-93) while you were still shedding baby teeth. Hypocrite my ass.

what's this? a battle of who's more old school?
i'm leaving for the grind/doom fest. you two should go. or else you'll lose old school points.
[Jul 16,2005 8:03pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""]
Is this really the guy from 'Rotten to the Core'? I remember that show. You first turned me on to Napalm Death, 'Missing Link' was the track if I remember correctly.
Thank you for that. Your show was on WJUL and followed 'Metallic Mayhem', right? I listened to those both for awhile. I remember it was like 5 hours solid of heavy music, way back when it all mattered. You could hear so much new shit there. Voivod, Soundgarden, Faith No more, remember Trish? She played them all before they were popular.
Come to think of it, I've seen your band too if it was Hearing Impaired and had the demo.

Thank you for that. No problem duder, that's why I was there!!! That was the original pressing of "Scum" I used to play on my show, I recently sold it on Ebay 'cause I haven't had a record player in years. Gotta get one again someday.

That was my point here..Eric and CSDO were around back then when metal was actually still underground. (You'd get beat up by sportos back then if you wore a studded belt and shit, and now they sell them at the fucking mall!!!!!!!!) I give him/them respect for perservering alone, even though I was never a huge fan (probably because I only liked Nuclear Assault on a lukewarm level, and CDSO are pure NA worship).
You could hear so much new shit there. Voivod, Soundgarden, Faith No more, remember Trish? I was good friends with her, and we both used to mix early Seattle shit into the mix with all the metal and 'core stuff. God damn, stuff like Tad used to fit in nicely between Extreme Noise Terror, the Cro-Mags, Broken Bones, Bolt Thrower, Hallow's Eve, etc. !
She played them all before they were popular. It was our intent to MAKE good bands popular!!!
Come to think of it, I've seen your band too if it was Hearing Impaired and had the demo. NICE! I play in a band called Ichabod now, come on out to a show and I'll try to remember to bring some HI stuff for you (other demo, unreleased, and t-shirts and crap)...

Arrik_ said: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.”

That's right Crippler. Brother Mike still plays drums in CSDO. He hasn't left nor will he be leaving. He's just a little busy right now.
We'll be at the PALLADIUM on July 29th doing a benefit show for Concerts4charity (www.Concerts4charity.org) if any of you "too hot for the scene" people want to come down and hang out.

a little busy? touring 11 months out of the year is just a little? i guess if the drummer from unearth played for my band for 2-3 shows out of the year, id use it to try to get people to come out to the shows, too. the only problem is that unearth fans want to hear one thing: generic metalcore. good thing you guys got that going for you......wait. nevermind.

bestial onsluts -- I guess you weren't around back when the metal scene was big in the northeast. Yes, we've brought in 1000 people twice to the Escape Club (our old hometown club). You want proof? I've got the video's and you can ask a few of the old bouncers that used to work there. They still hang out at Club 125.
Our main draw most of the time was 200 to 500 people at all of these places : the Channel, the Rat, the Livingroom, the Campus Club, Club Confetti's, the Vertex, the Empire Theater, CBGB's, Saratoga Winners, Club 125, the Granite Rock (Bahama Beach Club), the Palace and many high school's and college's in MA. and NH.
We've even played at Great Woods (the Tweeter Center) in 1992 at the "Big Gig".

Were are you going to be an a couple of years Blue? When our cd finally comes out (the record company said very soon I'll have a release date), it'll be in not only metal mags everywhere but drag racing mags, also... I've spent many years in the Drag Racing business working on deals. This stuff just doesn't happen over night. We've got our logo going on many top cars in the NHRA & the IHRA. This kind of promo will help hit a different crowd to sell our cd. I talked to Zakk from Black Label Society several times on how racing helped him sell to a "new crowd". Ratt and Meatloaf did the same thing a while back. This is how I received the name "Nitro Ric".

Just to make a point here, I am not on either side of this whole CSDO thing, but...
I find it strange that I went to just about every metal show at the Escape Club/Sneakers/etc. during those years, and played at many with Death, Sick of It All, Mercyful Fate and other bands when I was in an earlier band (ALERT/later SWIVEL). I do not remember the capacity for the club ever reaching 1000 even in the 90s, certainly not for a local group, I have seen the Grind Crusher tour there, Nuclear Assault/Coroner, the death festivals, and many many more, and never were there 1000 people. I could have sworn that the former owner (Colin? or someone) told me the record show there was a glam band, Danger Danger, and that had a crowd of about 1000 many of which who weren't let in?!?
Every CSDO show I saw there (with other bands playing) had nigh a few hundred people, maybe less. I have never seen a local show there where CSDO was the headlining band, but I'm sure I could have missed a few!
So I'm calling you out a bit. Please post the video online of a show, where the RTTP forumers here can clearly see a capacity of 1000 heads there solely to see Candy Striper Death Orgy HEADLINING show. Any shows with other headliners do not count. Any band that can draw 1000 people to a club in the late 80s would clearly have been picked up by a record label, yet your discography as per METAL ARCHIVES shows nothing but demos and only a recent signing to a local label...is this correct?!?
Again, I am not taking sides here, anonymous CSDO members, I am just checking my own reality which I pretty clearly remember (unless I have gone insane). Please post an .avi or other readily accessible video file where my fellow RTTP forumers can see a crowd of 1000 CSDO fans at a show to see CSDO. If you're telling the truth and there are shows where 1000 CSDO fans showed up, then all your naysayers can eat a bag of dicks, right? If people see the proof, then they'll have nothing to argue over, n'est pas?

Hey Blue...... It's not NASCAR...... I'm not into that roundy round stuff. It's DRAG RACING.......... Hey Drink Hard Thrash fan. You were in Alert huh? You don't remember too well. I think you opened with us on a national show back in 1991 or 1992. You guys didn't last too long (Like most bands who played at the Escape Club). Don't forget, I was the one who helped Colin and Merritt put a lot of the shows on there. That club by "fire code" held 900. We squeezed in almost 1500 at the all day show we co-headlined with WARGASM, MUCKY PUP and GWAR. Another show we did with MELIAH RAGE, DEMOLITION HAMMER, CORONER and NUCLEAR ASSAULT had just a cunt hair over 1000 people. Us and NUCLEAR ASSAULT headlining in spring of 1992 had 850. We also did very well with OVER KILL there doing around 600 the first time and 800 the second time. We did a headlining show (with 4 bands opening) there two months later. We had around 600...... I think the worst show we played there was back on New Year's Eve 1989 (when it was called Sneakers) with WARGASM. We had around 200 people. Oh, almost forgot about the Battle Of The Bands we did........ We were the winners with 700 votes out of 850 people!! The SICK OF IT ALL show we played had only like 350 to 400. The BIOHAZARD show we did had around 600.
I'll see if I can get some shows burned onto dvd (I don't have a burner). If any of you want, I'll record them for ya onto a vhs tape.
I'll have to dig around and see if I've got the big show we did at the old Livingroom (Providence, RI.) when we headlined with SELF DESTRUCT. RITUAL SACRIFICE and VITAL REMAINS opened the show!! That was when VITAL wore druid costumes.
I've got a shit load of stuff to get put onto dvd............ I can show you guys how slam pits were when the whole floor lost it!!

We squeezed in almost 1500 at the all day show we co-headlined with WARGASM, MUCKY PUP and GWAR. Another show we did with MELIAH RAGE, DEMOLITION HAMMER, CORONER and NUCLEAR ASSAULT had just a cunt hair over 1000 people. Us and NUCLEAR ASSAULT headlining in spring of 1992 had 850. We also did very well with OVER KILL there doing around 600 the first time and 800 the second time. We did a headlining show (with 4 bands opening) there two months later. We had around 600...... I think the worst show we played there was back on New Year's Eve 1989 (when it was called Sneakers) with WARGASM. We had around 200 people. Oh, almost forgot about the Battle Of The Bands we did........ We were the winners with 700 votes out of 850 people!! The SICK OF IT ALL show we played had only like 350 to 400. The BIOHAZARD show we did had around 600.
I'll see if I can get some shows burned onto dvd (I don't have a burner). If any of you want, I'll record them for ya onto a vhs tape.
I'll have to dig around and see if I've got the big show we did at the old Livingroom (Providence, RI.) when we headlined with SELF DESTRUCT. RITUAL SACRIFICE and VITAL REMAINS opened the show!! That was when VITAL wore druid costumes.
I've got a shit load of stuff to get put onto dvd............ I can show you guys how slam pits were when the whole floor lost it!!
See, you keep saying it was 'we' who squeezed this many people in or drew this many people to shows...when in fact it was the headlining acts on any of those shows...proving my original point. NUCLEAR ASSAULT, OVERKILL, etc, etc, those are the bands that brought in 100s of people, not CSDO. As a standalone act, HEADLINING a bill, I'd like to see your videos of CSDO drawing in 1000 heads. We're going to count them. I remember plenty well, sir, and went to metal shows for about 5 years prior to even joining Alert.
And as for the jab about Alert, I'd rather be in a band for 3 years and go away to university than be in a band for 20 years with not much to show for it...what a waste of time. And I don't see Alert being harangued and loathed on these message boards, do you? Vital Remains opened a show for you, eh? Funny how that turned out, with them releasing multiple albums on various labels in half your band's longevity, and you not releasing any...
Let's see the streaming video of 1000 raving CSDO fans at a show you headlined.

Hey dipshit Drink Faggot................. If it wasn't for CANDY STRIPER that club in Salisbury wouldn't have done anything!! When it first opened as Sneakers in 1989..... I was the guy that had them start bringing in bands. At that time, they only wanted to do dance and hip hop!! Frank Mederas ran the club and had me book most of the unsigned acts into the club. I set up bands like TEMPORARY INSANITY, ATOMICAUST, MELIAH RAGE, WARGASM, SUBJUGATOR, DISRUPT, YOUTH WITH BATS, CARDINAL SIN and all my RI. connections TIPPER GORE, RITUAL SACRIFICE, PHLEGM and many others. We built up a scene!! Around that time we were bringing in 300 people headling.
When Colin Barns took over the club (turned it into the Escape Club) he tried to keep us to himself. He was starting up a record label and trying to manage us without us saying yes or no. It was because, we brought in lots of people!! I hooked him up with the Don Law Agency and Merritt Moraski to book in the nationals. Colin would always give us first pick over everybody 'cause he know we would sell 100 to 200 tickets and get fliers out all over the place (He didn't want to spend money on radio advertising or newspapers. But, he did a monthly mailing list from the club.). Most bands back then and today can't even sell 30 tickets!!!!! He knew if we were doing the show.... everything will be fine.
Why do you think the BOMBSHELTER isn't doing that great...... 'Cause, the bands aren't selling their tickets!! Not counting the CANNIBAL CORPSE show, the biggest show we did at the Bombshelter was co-headling with Joey Belladonna 250 people. But when Joey came on, more than half the crowd left. The same thing happened at M.O.D. almost 4 weeks ago. People left when JACKNIFE hit the stage. At the CANNIBAL CORPSE show most of the people left half way through THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. What the fuck kind of metal scene is this? People stayed for every band years ago!! Most bands today leave when they get off stage.........
At JARROD's, the two times Jarrod did radio advertising on WAAF was with us and OVER KILL headlining...... None of the other bands were mentioned. The first time it sold out!! Over 800 people crammed into Jarrod's!! Go ahead and ask him!! Oh yeah, most of you don't care for him and his club. We haven't done a headling show there yet. We will after the cd comes out. I just got off the phone with Ben from Screaming Ferret yesterday...... He said that he's going to finally mix and master our stuff!! When you got just two guys running a label and a recording studio.... It takes a while to get shit done.

Will do, Reverend. I think I have Swivel/Alert demos you can have also, some even in the package, I'll send you those and an ExAgenda demo this week. Scrod's actually moving back to the area next month if I am not mistaken.

it cost about $50 for a unit to do it and then $50-ish for a DVD burner (cheaper if you get a deal).
discs are under $.50 each
