I really need to get out! |
| _______________________________ [Jun 13,2008 5:53pm - aril ""] haha, cool that you're coming dan. last time I saw you we were doing shots at the 1349 show last year and I don't remember much after that. oops... |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 13,2008 5:57pm - Dyingmuse ""] Ha ha ha, yeah, I got fucking annihilated, wow, I think I got shut off actually, that was the first and only time too fucking Marks! Woo!!!!!!!!1 |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 13,2008 10:57pm - the_reverend ""] Die on the steps: i had no clue who or what to expect. When i got here, everyone was saying it was one dude and a 4 track. Yep, that's what it was. Who ever the guy was, he came out looking like a chechen terrorist. I thought he was going to slit my throat when he flipped me off. The music was programmed neoclassical stuff. Sort of reminded me of some of the early 90's pissed off, lowfi version of eyeless in gaza/christian death/current 93. synths, acustic guitar, mostly talking vocals. Whoever this guy was, he has some bad allergies. |

| ________________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 2:13am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Aaron, you're a fucking maniac. How do you have these up before I even get home? HAD A FUCKING BLAST. So much fun meeting folks, so much fun seeing folks I haven't seen in forever (10 years in at least one instance), so much fun seeing the bands and SO MUCH FUN doing our thing. Sorry for forgetting several thousand people I should have thanked on stage - somehow I got slightly drunk before we went on. Glad some folks were into what we're doing; I really enjoy playing it. Great time; would do it again in a heartbeat. Speaking of which - COME OUT ON SATURDAY. Wheelchair space, Worcester, kegstands and halfpipes; BE THERE. (Pictures look fucking great, BTW. You're amazing, Rev.) |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 2:39am - RichHorror ""] Such a good grim time. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 3:16am - ArilliusBM ""] Had a fun time at the show.... thanks for the support. Die on the Steps and Witch Tomb were great. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 3:40am - Strep_Cunt ""] This was one of the best local shows I've been to in a good while. Herugrim were the surprise of the night! Fuck yeah. We gotta do another show together. Die On the Steps was way better than I imagined, and I imagined it to be awesome. Awesome job Mike. Great WT set too. LOVED playing this shit. Needs to happen again. |

| _______________________________ [Jun 14,2008 10:44am - Mess ""] looks like a fun show. witchtomb is always a good time. the other two i haven't heard but would be interested to hear them. die on the steps sounds like something i'd be into. |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 10:56am - thuringwethil ""] each band had something slightly different to offer. that's what I like about these shows and music in general (along with the beer, there's an incentive) |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 3:09pm - MaskedMan ""] Anyone see Rich an get paid???????????????? He was gone byt the end of the nigth???? |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 4:41pm - RichHorrorNLI ""] There must've been a shitload of people that got in free, or it's just how much O'Briens takes from the door, but I had enough to give money to Witch Tomb and put gas in my car to get back home. As far as I knew you guys [Heregrim] took off when DYA said good night. I mean, I'm a scumbag and just rip bands off to make millions at these superstar rock concerts. |

| ________________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 4:51pm - RichHorrorNLI ""] I'm the PT Barnum of metal shows that .001% of the population of Boston cares about. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 5:07pm - ArilliusBM ""] i didn't even know money was involved |
| _______________________________ [Jun 14,2008 5:30pm - seth ""] Rich Jim and I were there till closing and and left when Larissa and Dan etc..were closing the bar. That was when OB closed the doors and if not we were outside the door. I just wish we could of gotten something out of the show, besides a great crowd. I appreciate the show, but it cost us gas to get out gear there and back, even if it is down the street. Glad that WT got money but for the three bands that played, we all should of gotten something for at least playing and showing up. Oh well...welcome to the boston metal scene!!! |
| ________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 11:08pm - aril ""] colon blow ftw |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 14,2008 11:29pm - RichHorror ""] I understand, and I'm sorry. I live an hour away and had no gas and the club always insists I go there so shit runs smooth. So I needed at least enough to put in my tank so I wouldn't end up a permanent resident of Allston. And again, I didn't see any of you guys after Steve said he had to take off. Also I just bought a new sports car from the millions I stole from this show. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 15,2008 11:56am - Dyingmuse ""] Seth, you guys were awesome. I had a good time, and it was nice seeing everyone, it's been a while since I got out to a show. You know what's funny? I got paid at the door, I actually bought a new car, and I didn't even play lol! No, good job putting together a great lineup. I am going to try to make it out to the Wed show, but having to work at 5 AM may be an issue. We'll see. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 15,2008 12:42pm - Seth ""] Thanks Dan and great to see you to, so next we all can play a show together...later :doublehorns: |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 15,2008 12:50pm - thuringwethil ""] Herugrim and Shroud of Bereavement would be an AWESOME combination! do it do it do it |
| ________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 10:00am - aril ""] Dan, you still interested in helping us record our acoustics when we're recording? I think you mentioned that to me at the show. I was listening to some of your stuff last night and I love the acoustic sound! |
| _______________________________ [Jun 16,2008 10:27am - Mess ""] z jews in z boston metal scene? tits more likely than jew dink. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 10:36am - aril ""] ? you paint your bike yet? |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 3:44pm - Shewijja ""] Sounds like Rich who ran this and from the pictures the place was full and many beers had. So the place lied to Rich or did not charge, does not sound like he cared, just a thief. SHouldn't Rich be watching so he can see how much money he brings in and not let the club take what it can when the bands bring in the patrons. Well I guess he does not care. So basically the promoter got the money and then decided to pay one of three bands that played and himself. So you basically paid yourself to see some bands and get home and not pay all the bands that made this happen. Since at least of three out of the four or five bands showed up. tha is low!! |
| _______________________________ [Jun 16,2008 3:50pm - aril ""] I personally don't care about money unless it was absolutely guaranteed; which I didn't even hear anything about. I just want to get out and play a set, especially considering that was our 2nd show. I'll start thinking about money on like our 30th show maybe. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 16,2008 4:17pm - Mess ""] motherfucker |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 4:20pm - RichHorror ""] Ok Seth |

YOU ARE PLAYING AT A DIVE BAR, NOT THE FUCKING GARDEN!! |
| _______________________________ [Jun 16,2008 4:25pm - aril ""] LOL |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 4:28pm - RichHorror ""] In addition: If you think the payout at the end of the night is any fraction of the money that the bar makes from beer/booze, you are a sad and clueless moron. The club takes what it does because THAT'S HOW CLUBS WORK, PROFESSOR. Bar manager, booker [the club's booker, not me], soundguy, doorguy. They all get a cut before I'm handed anything. And that's just what I know about. I think there's also extra percentages for the club itself, money for new sound gear [LOL], etc. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 4:29pm - DYA / NLI ""] OH THE DRAMA |
| _______________________________ [Jun 16,2008 4:32pm - aril ""] bah, who cares about the money thing right now. I'm just grateful to have played a show - our first show in MA. it was an awesome time. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 4:37pm - inject-now ""] if i had known that herugrim didnt get anything i would have gladly given you guys half of what was in our envelope that obriens gave to rich. that little amount of cash was gone 10 mins after the show though. sorry guys. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 4:45pm - the_reverend ""] herugrim: a third wave sounding black metal. It's stuff that I like, but I like bands like borknagar that a lot of tr00 g1rm kvlt black metal people probably would turn their nose up at. Besides the fact that I couldn't hear DYA singing (or when he was talking), it sounded good to me. all those people that couldn't heard aril's guitar probably weren't standing right next to it for most of the set (same with mike's during witchtomb). Funny that seth gets up at points and plays while walking around and getting a drink. I think he will eventually get one of those super slider moves like in megaman so he can slide back and forth in hyper-speed to hit whatever. after that, he will shoot pac-mac dots at the drum set from up on a ladder. witchtomb: the first 1/2 of the first song was probably the best thing I have ever heard them do. everything (once again, I was standing on the side with the guitar that was too quiet) came together just right. especially the sampler. after this song the keys were way too loud and didn't lay right in the music. from the pictures, you can tell that jay hasn't been given tenure yet. Once he does, he will get his own tube of charcoal to rub on his face. please speculate on the patterns he will choose. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 16,2008 4:56pm - aril ""] my cab was kind of buried in the corner and I was standing in front of it too, which probably didn't help. we also didn't do a soundcheck as a band.... we should have. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 5:03pm - inject-now ""] yeah i dont know how many times i told the soundguy to turn down the keys. he couldnt figure out shit. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 16,2008 5:04pm - aril ""] mike - did you have any probs with the cab? |
