| _______________________________ [Jul 11,2008 3:26pm - aril ""] yes, it's very, very, very sad that Dethklok sells out and this doesn't. however, if At the Gates had a TV show, then, just then, there'd be a possibility of it selling out. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 3:44pm - goatcatalyst ""] very much looking forward to this. it's going to be a fucking goodtimer-fest! mr. ouchdrummer, looking forward to making your acquaintance. i too have been preparing. i'll be the gent in the "FREE NEIL BRACKERT" shirt. and happy birthday, yummy... we'll have to have an apertif. frank... the tradition will be upheld! |
| _____________________________ [Jul 11,2008 3:53pm - pam ""] I'm trying to decide if this is worth the risk of going into labor at the palladium. I definitely should have gotten a photo pass. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 3:54pm - Hungtableed ""] Who gives a rat's cunt hole if it doesn't sell out. I hope it doesn't so that people who want to see them can show up and still get in. I can't imagine the grief that would follow being shut down at the door.... |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 4:29pm - Hungtableed ""] Unto Others and Ever Opening Flower are two songs that I would kill to see them play. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 11,2008 4:56pm - aril ""] listening to ATG now and getting mad for not going |

| ____________________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 5:19pm - todayistheday nli ""] leaving around 6. getting pumped! |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 5:22pm - the_reverend ""] ALL LIFE FUCKING ENDS. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 5:23pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] PAAAAAAAAAM! doooo iiiiitttttt! |
| _____________________________ [Jul 11,2008 5:29pm - pam ""] FuckIsMySignature said:PAAAAAAAAAM! doooo iiiiitttttt! I didn't think you existed when I was sober? |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 5:29pm - the_reverend ""] I am leaving in an hour. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 7:01pm - the_reverend ""] sold out |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 7:47pm - the_reverend ""] no not sold out. I misunderstood robin |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 8:42pm - the_reverend ""] walking down to the crowd seemed a little empty. I thing they are expecting 1300ish so not sold out... toxic holocaust: again seeing them without tons of stage diving is kind of lame, but the audience kept up the juice, circle pitting and fist pumping like crazy. After they played war is hell, there was a lot more crowd surfing. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 10:12pm - the_reverend ""] municipal waste: how odd is it seeing these guys on stage with a barricade? The kids that did make it over the barricade, they were pushed back into the crowd. For the one kid that made it on stage, he was tossed out after stage diving. robing tested out their mics too. they played an excel cover that I don't remember. off split image. but they kept talking about schrooms. this wasn't as "balls out" as they usually play, but they were still tripping from last night. upstairs would have killed with them tonight. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 10:18pm - the_reverend ""] pam, you could have named the baby thomas. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 10:20pm - archaeon ""] the_reverend said:municipal waste: they played an excel cover that I don't remember. off split image. SHIT! now i wish i went |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 12:02am - the_reverend ""] oh my... my my my... what a high. this show almost ruins all shows for me forever. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 12:29am - josh_hates_you ""] th - better on cd mucicipal waste - fun band. not the performance i expected but good. watching the kids go off to this band is great even at the palladium darkest hour-sound was weak. drank a couple beers and walked around. atg - so fucking amazing. worth the wait. pam should have went. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 12:33am - ArilliusBM ""] jealous. i've been sitting at home listening to Order From Chaos while discussing how I should have went to the show. good times, sounds like. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 12:40am - todayistheday nli ""] that was pretty nutty. awesome show. darkest hour sucks ass |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 12:48am - the_reverend ""] im still smiling from this show. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 12:54am - josh_hates_you ""] the_reverend said:im still smiling from at the gates. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 12:59am - xanonymousx ""] one of the best shows i've been too in a long time. darkest hour was a disapointment to me... if all songs were like the sadist nation it would have been different... municipal waste... shit they are good. at the gate wow! |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 1:16am - xanonymousx ""] at the gates sounded awesome, they were tight as all hell. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 1:19am - SlavonicIdentity ""] Awesome show. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 1:41am - the_reverend ""] I'm really tempted to drive to montreal in the morning to see it again. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:02am - guy ""] one of the best palladium shows ever!! darkest hour is really bad |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:03am - the_reverend ""] pictures in a few minutes |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:09am - i_am_lazy ""] Oh my god was this awesome. Well, ATG themselves. Toxic Holocaust was alright (Better on CD as someone else said...and the drummer sucks), Municipal Waste was worse than I remember, and Darkest Hour predictably blow goats for quarters as always. Seriously, the Waste has a serious identity crisis going on. The vocalist wants to be Mike Muir, the bassist wants to be Frank Bello, and they steal Megadeth song titles and artwork. I understand that's part of the whole bit, but it's tiring. And they got fucking sloppy on the faster beats. I'm still psyched ATG played All Life Ends. A lot of the leads were kinda buried in the mix. But that's the ONLY thing I could complain about. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:18am - kevinthesprigg ""] That was SO FUCKING GOOD! |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:43am - theaccurseddrummer ""] Holy shit. At the fucking Gates. That's all you need to say. Seriously? I forgot who else played. They don't even matter. At the Gates, best band I've ever seen at The Palladium. BTW, Pam and Jon DID go, and they left a few songs from the end when she started having contractions. They went to the hospital and are going home because she's not quite ready, but she's definitely in the earlier stages of labor. At the Gates + new nephew = AWESOME weekend. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 8:29am - darkenedsoul ""] That was a killer show from ATG. Overall sound I thought was very good. Only thing I'd have liked would have been a bit more ummph in the kick drums as they were on the light side sound-wise. But that was fucking amazing to see them. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 8:38am - metalguy ""] yea, the drummer for municipal waste sucked... on the fast beats he was losing it and just hitting the hi hat... shouldn't he be more rehearsed? hasn't he been touring for a while? |
| _____________________________ [Jul 12,2008 8:59am - pam ""] Apparently At The Gates was only capable on inducing FALSE labor. I could have stayed until the end. Gay. Totally worth it though. Save for missing the last few songs, best.show.ever. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 9:07am - theaccursedvokillist ""] At the gates = greatest show ever Darkest hour = big wall of suck seeing old friends = outstanding Tom aka FuckIsMySignature = loudest dude ever! Aarons Hawaiian shirt = Priceless |
