| _______________________________ [Feb 29,2008 4:38pm - Pires ""] is this on both stages or just down stairs? leaving soon regardless. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 6:17pm - the_reverend ""] im here now. missed recon. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 29,2008 7:57pm - Pires ""] down to nothing was good, as was on broken wings. unholy was really average. actually they kinda sucked. since the flood is up next and should be insane. this would've been way better upstairs. also, how many times are we going to listen to 3750 by the acacia strain tonight in between bands? its been 4 so far. i used to like this album until i came to this show! |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 8:01pm - the_reverend ""] unholy: totally heavy as hell. Reminded me of some bands with that "black market activities". They were so heavy. That singer was pushing his hardests on those vocals. down to nothing: normal dtn shows are nothing short of epic. When you cut off the stage diving and the crowd from the stage, it takes almost all the energy out of their performance imho. Yeah, the floor was moving and all.. Yeah, the singer went to the audience a few times, but there was a lot missing and the singer teased the crowd a bunch when they though he would come down to them, but didn't. On Broken Wing: they were much better on this stage than DTN. A much more powerful sound (once the bass was fixed). The audience was all people I knew from brockton, boston, and springfield. Good news there, looks like they will be releasing another album and playing metalfest. Both facts that I was unaware of. At the end of their set, I got a very nice shout out for everyone to go see my pictures too. Hope they are ok. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 8:33pm - the_reverend ""] since the flood: I didn't even know they were playing to be honest. They were so much better this time as opposed to the first show. Nate sounds a lot more entwined with the band. One way to tell with since the flood is the jump-o-meter. Count the number of times someone jumps andif that number is greater than the number of jumps at the last show, the person is still staying in the band. If the number declines, they are on their way out. When kevin was in the band, he reached one jump and then moved on to 2 jumps at the height of his STF career (rumors of him jumping 3 times in on show are unsubstancitive and with out proof). Now look at nate. He went from 0-1 at the first show to 4. Even though some of them would be catagories as hops, he's still in the mix for a while. Im a little worried about ricky... I saw only one hop. Maybe he's just sick. Nate also spent plenty of time in the crowd. That ruled. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 9:31pm - the_reverend ""] shai hulud: they exploded on to that stage. Within the first beat, that singer (forget his name) was in the crowd. He spent more that 1/2 the set down there. Could there ever be too much sing along? I think not. I think matt fox was jealous since his guitar tathered him to the stage. There were robably an equal number of people here to see just these guys as terror and possibly earth crisis (albeit a smaller average person compared to the other band's fans). They are just one of those bands that draws out the dead for their shows. Just like STF, they got one song cut from their set. When they found this out, theybroke into profound hatred of man and had a huge collection of crashing bodies in th front. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 9:44pm - the_reverend ""] ha! Pires, I said the same thing about usptairs. only earth crisis justifies downstairs. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 9:47pm - bradmann ""] how old is EC Karl? |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 9:50pm - the_reverend ""] sworn enemy: no fun for me, they started doing the whole 3 songs thing for these guys. Do you know how long it takes for SE to play 3 songs? A lot friggin quicker than you would think. Saddly, I only recognized the singer. They sounded really good, but the audience cleared out a bit for them. I think all the shai huludians went in he backbto drink a beer and wait for earth crisis. Normally, those peole would probably just leave, but they want to justify the more expensive tickets and coming to a show downstairs at the palladium. Is it just me or they only played 2 old tracks? The new CD is good, but I only icked out 2 old songs. Oh and the acacia strain played on. They are the new since the flood which was the new hatebreed. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 9:54pm - xanonymousx ""] i really hate how the palladium only has one two cd's at the shows |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 11:18pm - the_reverend ""] Earth crisis is on now. so goos. how come the die hard fans in the front are the same age they were when they used to play? and im going to have to look cause I believe I saw EC in the 90's and just plum forgot about it. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 11:26pm - W3 nli ""] 97 they played Avalon with Seps and VOD |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 11:43pm - the_reverend ""] nope, i'm fairly positive that I didn't see them. it was a VOD show I was thinking about. let me think a little more. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 29,2008 11:47pm - the_reverend ""] I know I wanted to see them once with afriend from NJ and I think they with shelter and that's why I decided not to go. the other time was in manch-vegas. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 1,2008 2:10am - NateTheWAR ""] I went to what feels like a half dozen shows in the late 90's/early Y2K era that VOD was supposed to play and they always cancelled. I gave up hope soon after. Tonight was ridiculous. All the bands were great, and for some reason I wish Earth Crisis had more to say in between songs. Also surprised they actually played stuff off Slither. Who knew? |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 1,2008 2:17am - the_reverend ""] my pictures are processing.. give me a few. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 1,2008 5:47am - xmikex ""] earth crisis... or what I got to see of them before I got kicked out, was actually really fun. It was cool seeing old faces coming out of nowhere. Not a bad night, not a great one either. |
| ___________________________ [Mar 1,2008 8:19am - x ""] come rev how bout terror and eart crisis reviews |
| ____________________________ [Mar 1,2008 9:48am - cav ""] im glad i ended up going to this. decent show. hulud ruled. so it was worth it. haha. got there while unholy was on. one of the worst bands ive ever seen. down to nothing was awesome but they were so much better at the verse 5 year show a couple weeks ago. like rev said, they just belong in a smaller venue, kids go absolutely insane for them. but im sure this was a good way for them to branch out, props to them for being on the tour, im sure their regular shows will have even more kids next time around. obw was decent. i havent listened to that old full length in years so it was kinda funny trying to remember their parts. to their credit those guys do have a lot more going on in their music than most mosh bands. the vocalist messes around with different vocal styles, they do off timing parts, etc, etc. the other half of it is straight breakdowns, but at least they are good at it and fun to listen to. stf...UGH...i was so psyched to see them with nate. maybe its because they played all new stuff or because the sound guy sucked but i wasnt really into it at all. last time i saw them i think at metalfest, i loved it. maybe it was because i knew shai hulud was coming up...i dunno, nates vocals did kick ass as always though. hulud was amazing. i am so excited they are playing with mike justain, he adds a new element to that band. i really hope hes on the album (coming out late May i believe they said) and i really hope he stays with them, he seemed to be having a really good time. and they let him mess around and add his own flavor to the old songs, they were tight as hell and played a good selection of songs. opened with for the world, played the first two tracks from hearts once nourised, the usual 2 tracks from that within blood, i was really glad to see them play hardly and faithless is he, i have never seen them play those before i dont think. awesome set. kids went nuts. hulud is back! stayed and watched about 2 songs of sworn enemy for the laugh. and then left. seriously, that band blows so fuckin bad i can even begin to explain. once he busted out the wah solo i was the fuck outta there hahaha. i bet terror was cool, i hate to be a dick but ive never really listened to much earth crisis, maybe one day ill regret it but i had a good time smoking pot with drunken craig at the shed anyways. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 1,2008 2:48pm - the_reverend ""] I see mike justin... [img] |
| _________________________________ [Mar 1,2008 3:13pm - rotivore ""] :duffbeer:drink one for earth crisis |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 1,2008 10:31pm - the_reverend ""] terror: they played really well. I mean I've seen them in better and worse places so this wasn't too bad. They played all songs that I knew. Anyone note vogel's toast to earth crisis and everyone? I thought buried alive was a xSEx band and so was scott. Guess not. Imagine if he did that back in the day? Death. At the end of their set, some guy kept trying to get on stage to sing and the bouncers ket shoving him back in to the crowd. earth crisis: I can't believe that so many people left by this point. The floor was active, but empty. One interesting difference with this show as opposed to other palladium or large venue shows is that all the bands who opened u for EC are fist and foremost fans of EC. It's funny looking down in the crowd and just seeing member after member of the other bands rocking it on the floor for them. It was also funny to watch some of the more green boucers had no clue what to do with all the stage driving and crowd surfing. It was fairly amazing. Makes me more than feel the fact that I missed those other eic hardcore shows there. Their set was good for a bunch of old hc se dudes. Does it compare to them from the 90's? No way, but it was so much better than the nu-metal show I was expecting out of them. |

Yea hulud was awsome, i left right as sworn enemy was playing too. I wanted to see erth crisis and terror, But i really didnt feel up to sitting around much longer. Especially since it was about to snow and i only have one windsheild wiper. Hulud was worth the drive though. |
