I left cause I couldn't shoot dillinger, life of agony or fear factory. my back pocket ripped and carina's keys fell out so during merauder, I was looking for them... when I finally found them, I left.. missing the second stage merauder, 25 ta life, and the bats and chains gang known as bad luck 13... I hope no one died. working on pictures now. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 12:49am - Jellyfish ""] bad luck 13 shows are out of control. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 12:52am - Kalopsia ""] Jellyfish said:bad luck 13 shows are out of control. so i've heard. it was rumored that they planned to destroy anything they could while playing today and aaron really wanted to see what would happen, but he had to leave. i'm sure another ambulance was called during their set though. a lot of ambulances were coming through the whole weekend. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 26,2004 12:53am - nick ""] i heard there was a riot involving saw blade / animal carcasses etc. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 1:09am - Jellyfish ""] a few years ago my friend saw bad luck 13 and they had bats with barbed wire and ladders and they were throwing them out into the crowd and people were hitting each other and blood was everywhere and they would stop playing if there wasnt fighting. I guess they dont like normal pits, they like you to hit each other as hard as possible and then kick each other when on the ground. 8 people were wicked injured at the show and hospitalized, everyone had at least a swollen eye. This guy i was friends with was huge and boxed and was a bouncer at a bar so he liked to fight and get rough but he still came home with his eye swollen shut, 4 broken knuckles and cuts everywhere. I enjoy the music but would never attend a show. Its just beyond ridiculous. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 1:14am - Abbath ""] holy shit that sounds amazing i say you and i get beyond drunk and tear some ass when they come around next time! \m/ |
| _______________________________ [Jul 26,2004 1:30am - merr ""] if anyone saw the singer of fear factory get hit in a face with a bottle...well that was me |
| __________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 1:33am - succubus ""] heh i wish you would have gotten someone else as well |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 1:34am - Jellyfish ""] i wish you had have hit him with something heavier |
| __________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 1:48am - arsonick ""] fuck... i wanna know what went on for bad luck 13... haha i wasnt there cause i had to work |
| _______________________________ [Jul 26,2004 1:52am - merr ""] beating people with fire extinguishers..tipping the bleachers...decapitating pigs and throwing them at people..all sorts of crazy shit |
| __________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 2:01am - Kalopsia ""] you know reverend it's probably better that u didn't see bad luck 13 because if they really did tear shit up like it's said they do, your equipment could have been destroyed. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 2:24am - the_reverend ""] ugh.. too many pictures.... I think the converge ones and the best of the night.. IMHO |
| __________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 2:26am - arsonick ""] yeah i was about to post that link. some girl almost got killed from getting a saw blade thrown at her head. i think she was hit though and sent out right away. over the edge, thats for sure. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 2:30am - Deathcow ""] I'll stick with GWAR. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 26,2004 3:10am - merr ""] the people on that thread that death cow posted are exaggerating so much..there all like "omg i heard bad luck went after the croud with samauri swords and totally started cutting peoples heads off" |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 3:11am - the_reverend ""] yep.. but I'm sure bad things happend... I saw the video a while back... like I said pictures of bad luck 13 < broken camera equipment < my life |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 3:12am - anonymous ""] I dont blame you for not going to bad luck... I was there and I had never heard of them before, all i knew is that it was there last show and i wanted to check them out for that reason..... I just got home from the hospital an hour ago, I was stabbed in the shoulder with a glass shard, along with a bruised face and small glass wounds on my legs |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 3:16am - the_reverend ""] so whatever happend? |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 3:17am - anonymous ""] lots of cops and ambulances happened... From what I heard from my friends almost everyone that saw them were kicked out of the Rex Plex... Fear Factory had barely 100 people watching them |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 3:23am - the_reverend ""] I was out by the backstage and was seeing them bring in stuff and hear the BL13 people talking about shit... I got a really bad feeling about it, but still wanted to see 25 ta life and merauder then realized I lost my gf's car keys... they fell out a hole in my shorts. I ran around, found them and decided that the day was over for me. thank fully. I hope you and all the others that didn't know what to expect are alright. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 3:28am - anonymous ""] Losing your gf's car keys were definately a blessing in disguise for you... The few camera men i did see were hit pretty hard by debri... hell an EMT trying to help a hurt girl got beaten down and sprayed with a fire extinguisher... The last thing i remember before getting either stabbed or hit with a falling glass shard in my back was seeing the crowd tipping over the bleachers.... Im fine now nothing that a few shots and some stitches couldnt fix... I had it lucky I saw alot of people that had it much worse.... |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 3:52am - anonymous ""] Wow yeah I drove up from Boston for the first day and i left saturday but i really wanted to stay for the next two days, my friends saw all that happen and didnt get hurt, thats some fucked up shit. www.behindherheart.tk |
| ________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 4:29am - xericx ""] after the bleachers got tipped over with about 100 people on them, i think that was it for me...and as far as people getting smashed with fire exstiguishers and lightbulb, and barbed wire bats, ya, i think i shit my pants....it was fucking hilarious though!!!!!! |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 5:09am - anonymous ""] in hearing about all this madness from my friends who made it out luckily unhurt, I wish I was there. Because if I was, THEY WOULD GOT HURT!!!! OH YEAH BROTHER@!!! |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 5:37am - anonymous ""] yeah i just got home, after the riot, i thanked every member of bad luck, the bleachers i was standing on actually got charged at me and thats when i knew i was done with there set |
| __________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 9:00am - Jay TUS ""] That's fucking bullshit. And why the fuck couldn't you shoot Dillinger and Fear Factory? Fuck them too. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 9:06am - Jay TUS ""] Video from their set: http://www.jinxedclothing.com/media/video/bl13clip1.mov |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 9:19am - RustedAngel ""] is that video from hellfest? looks retarded. I hope that entire band dies. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 9:35am - the_reverend ""] that is a video from A bad luck 13 set, but not the one at hellfest. does that room look like a basketball court? I think that's from the bl13 video. there is other footage on that video that is worse. actually, that reminds me of BYD's show at the knights of columbus. RA, remember when HSM almost played with bl13 in rochester in 2001? |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 9:50am - todayistheday ""] have these guys ever played MA? |
| __________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 9:53am - succubus ""] a thing the rev has not mentioned yet is that they took away ALL photo/media passes day 3..but rev and i convinced them to let us in with all our gear anyhow...anyhow i saw way too many bloody noses black eyes and a lot of other stuff..and that took the cake..so i told the rev that I did not want to have to deal with running around and dealing with the crowd trying to take photos and lugging all that weight...it was a really tiring long weekend and the fact the thursday night i barely slept 3 hours and then the rest of the nights it was the same....so after hanging out for a bit...i left...sucks that i missed some bands i really wanted to see..but oh well..too bad it was so poorly organized...i would have prefered a photo pit to having to stand on the side of the stage especially when there were more specatators standing on it than photographers...anyhow...when you are looking through the_reverend's day 3 pics..realize all that he did running around and getting his way up front...on his own....oh and thanks to BYD singer!! he rules |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 9:54am - RustedAngel ""] the_reverend said: RA, remember when HSM almost played with bl13 in rochester in 2001? yes, and now I'm glad they didn't play... I remember hearing they would lock us all in the room and beat the shit out of us. anyway, i'm glad you and my big sis didn't watch them at hellfest. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 10:04am - the_reverend ""] yeah, I remember talking to the guy that set up those shows and asked him about taking pictures, but ony if I could do it through a hole in the wall from the back room. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 10:20am - ms. gates! ""] my word. say au revoir to hellfest... or maybe just hellfest in new jersey. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 10:49am - attendmyrequiem ""] merr said:if anyone saw the singer of fear factory get hit in a face with a bottle...well that was me faggot |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 11:12am - anonymous ""] planes mistaken for stars was the best band there. too bad they are the complete opposite of sxe hardcore. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 11:39am - merr ""] i love fear factory..it was the reason i was there..i didnt mean to hit him but when it happened i couldnt help but laugh |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 12:13pm - arsonick ""] yeah if its in syracuse again that fucking blows cause that's like 3 or 4 hours away. ahhh oh well. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 26,2004 12:13pm - nick ""] i heard bad luck 13 locked all the doors and uncaged like 3 or 5 tigers while they were playing. like 59 kids died, must have been nuts. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 12:31pm - the_reverend ""] if they didn't send out anything short of bears, they are pussies. |
| __________________________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 12:44pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] the stuff on that NJ Scene site is pretty funny, though they usually have funny shit on there anyway, but stuff about setting up a paypal account for the victims is a little chuckle-worthy. still, I have to agree with ANYBODY that says what the fuck was keith thinking?? I even know that BL13RE is gonna start trouble. THAT'S THEIR SHTICK. That's like booking Iron Maiden and going "God, please, whatever they do don't do solos or hit falsetto, really high notes". THAT'S WHAT MAIDEN'S ABOUT. Or also like booking an a capella band and hoping that don't sing Where In The World Is Camen Sandiego. They're going to do it!!!! Still, violence is lame. People act like it's so novel and so great to do violent things. Violence is just something that happens, not something we should plan to happen. It's...I dunnow, a part of life but not a part of life we have to exemplify all the time. Like be honest, you don't think you could start a band that burns shit and throws shit and makes chug chug songs? We all could do that. Strangely, though, I do like BL13's music. But yeah blame the promoters, man, if you're going to blame anyone. They knew what they were getting into, and if they didn't, they were VERY underqualified to book a festival with dozens of bands (though the HF2K incident was a good indication of that). I'm not into blaming people but I don't think it's BL13's fault, they were hired to do what they did...that's their thing! Like it was GG Allins thing...(I spelled that wrong, huh?) |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 2:46pm - anonymous ""] it's like booking 18 visions and going, i hope they don't look like a bunch of faggots and play shitty music. |
| _________________________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 5:05pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] hahahahahhahahhahaha ... hahhahaha that was pretty funny. I mean, ok I like 18 visions and all but that was well-timed, Mr. / Mrs. Anonymous. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 9:02pm - anonymous ""] yeah so that 18visions comment was priceless but bad luck 13 was nuts, i personally stuck around to watch and it was fun.... peta is going to throw a shit fit over the dead pig carcass getting thrown at ppl... the bleachers got flipped, i saw many ppl get smashed with various objects from empty soda bottles to huge garbage cans and chairs, kids getting hit by big guys in mexican wrestling masks, there was quite a bit of fire and fire extinguishers and i beleive they blew one up, not positive but something did go boom... if you didnt stick around or werent there i pity your soul it was one of the greatest events ive ever laid witness too. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 9:14pm - succubus ""] hmmm someone posted this regarding bl13's set: [img] |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 11:43pm - anonymous ""] i heard some1 was killed during their set. Thatr is horrible, this is the most embarassing thing that could ever happen to hardcore. Fuck bl13. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 26,2004 11:59pm - the_reverend ""] that picture above is from the set... that's where the bands were playinhg, but it looks like the bleachers were flipped. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 27,2004 12:35am - anonymous ""] blah that pic is from all the way back on the bleachers by the vert ramp. that was also before the fire estinguishers came out. what do people expect, that is what happens at their show. i love the music and it was the first time seeing them and i loved it. i was right next to the bleachers when they got flipped and someone started spinning them. funniest part is when everyone started running away, me and my buddy were like sweet we can get closer. once the fire estinguishers came out though, it was time to fall back. great show fucking A. and the worst thing to ever happen to hardcore was it not dieing when it should have. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 27,2004 12:45pm - anonymous ""] I had a great time at hellfest, the BL13 thing was great, we'll all remember that one for a long time. The presence of DMS and FSU being incredibly stupid kinda bummed me out. yeah i get it, your tough, you lift weights, there's alot of you. good for you. beating up 16 year old kids just shows how tough you are...wow |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 27,2004 3:12pm - Paul FOD ""] Throwning a bottle at anyone from FF = your a fucking loser. Rev I dont blame you for not staying for BL13 whats the point of going to a show to get hurt? The music is just bad and they make up for it with a gimmick. Anonymous, lifting weights has nothing to do with being "tough". Try it you might like it. But other then that I definatly agree with your comments, but thats hardcore for you. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 27,2004 3:19pm - RustedAngel ""] WHERE ARE THE PICS/VIDEO OF BAD LUCK 13 FROM HELLFEST 2K4?????? ANYONE? :middlefinger: |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 27,2004 5:03pm - the_reverend ""] Dinosaur Stage last perfection: from queens. they had a ton of friends there watching them. wings of scarlet: man, I got to re-listen to their cd again. their set was pretty damn good. forever is forgotten: technically, this band set this set very well. I liked the off tempo change ups. I know I've seen their name on a much of dates, but never got to see them. with dead hands rising: who showed up at this show just for this band? they were so good. I'm a little shocked from the cds that they were basically little kids. such a huge voice that comes out of that band. stabbed by words: it seems like in all my pictures they are making funny faces. i think it's just when I snapped. psyopus: it's psyopus.. i mean... what do you expect? the singer spent more time on the crowd and hopping on top of his bands members. there was no blood this time out his nose, but I'm pretty sure he was vomiting water all over the stage. at one point arpman came over to show me just how happy he was that I was there. now that was funny. the room was packed really tight so great to see the response that these guys are getting. flat earth society: minor threat cover of I've got the straight edge. the autumn offering: I like this band a lot, but I wasn't able to stay for very much of their set. the acacia strain: even though the list had them written down with the wrong name, it was good to see them playing outside of mass. granted lots of mass kids were there to sing along with them. the stage could hardly hole all of them, making moving around a really hard thing to do. dry kill logic: not really my thing so I snapped a few shots and left. Hopeless Stage a thousand falling skies: the last time I heard them at the palladium, they sounded aweful.. the sound system there sucked for them and you couldn't tell anything apart. this time it sounded pretty awesome. I was very impressed. the number twelve looks like you: cannae dropped off so #12 got on. the singer that screams like a girl wasn't there so the audience and stage members tried to provide the source of highs.. it sounded horrid for the most part, they were sloppy, but it was still fun cause kids were getting into it. fordirelifesake: must have been locals cause a large group of people knew their songs yet I've never heard of them. alexisonfire: not really sure.. I didn't watch them long enough to write anything. I saw them once in fall river and it seemed like they have more energy there. walls of jericho: just as hi-powered as you would expect from them. tons of kids going crazy. you know a band is doing something right when the sound engineers (who have been listening to bands all day) actually sit up and take notice. most precious blood: crazy set as usual. most of the time, the singer had 10 kids on his back singing along with him. at one point, keith in hell came out and sang along with them. shai hulud: this show was the singer's last show. I wasn't sure how they could continue with out him... but they are changing the name and all. I hope they play older hulud songs still... bleeding through: earlier in the day, marta's keyboard was stolen and either a bass or guitar. there was also a mess up with their lugage on the plane... the singer whined that he didn't even want to be there, but they are playing anyways. the set was still good and high-energy. I think the singer was taking some frustrations out of the crowd cause he kept kicking people. at one point a crowd surfer came up on stage and put a rainbow whig on marta. dillinger escape plan: lots of flashing lights. I stayed for about 2 seconds before having security appologize to me about not being able to stay where I was. one of the nicest "get out of here's" that I've received. Hot Topic Stage stars turn cold: it was funny cause the singer was kicking people. breath of silence: decent band, reminded me of some of the music coming out of mass and playing at the fat cat. they must be a new band though cause they seemed a little unsure of themselves on stage. a perfect murder: do they ever stop touring? and why couldn't I really hear the accents? though in between songs they spoke in french to each other. zombie apocalypse: kind of gimmicky stuff with the members wearing faces maskes or paint. endwell: I ran in and out too fast cuase I was in a hurry... misery signals: whatelse would you expect from them other than and awesome set? they played to a pretty huge crowd. it was especially amazing cause i think walls of jericho was on stage when they were doing their thing. there were still plenty of kids there crawling all over the place. a life once lost: this band is so intense live. I was amazed to actually see some kids on stage and jumping off. I would be scared that the singer would use his special powers to cause me to burst into flames. planes mistaken for stars: you know I hated these guys when I first say them, but they weren't too bad. it was a smaller crowd but everyone there was a total fan. they joked about being rockstars n stuff. the bronx: I wasn't really into them. but I stayed and watched a few songs. there was a pretty big crowd for them too. the promise: another set where every person in the audience knew the songs and swarmed around singing. fear before the march of flames: damn it! I was on stage when the singer threw samplers into the audience. someone threw them back and I got hit in the watch. it was funny cause the singer said something like "hey, that's not cool" and I pretended to cry. put that on the freking DVD. from a second stroy window: damn, one of the most spit filled sets ever. worse than a daughters set. they were crazy as usual. on stage were 2 trampolines that they jumped on a bit. at one point, I thought the singer had died and was down and out, but he jumped right back up with out missing anything. I guess he's tougher than a monitor. Trustkill Stage if hope dies: what? long hairs doing such tough metal-core? it was great to see and hear for me, a fellow long haired. they had a underware mosh crew that ran off the stage. hint: when you are naked, no one in the audience wants to catch you but it was still hilarious in dies today: unfortunately for them, most of the people were still stuck out side in the huge line to get in. bear vs shark: I'm not sure about the singer's voice.. I think I'm going to have to listen to it on cd first. he was going crazy and singing into people's faces.. but I don't think it's really my style. death threat: this is were the stage diving started for the day. if you've seen this band you know exactly what to expect. sworn enemy: I guess they are still together. a bunch of people piled up on the stage for the last song. death by stereo: like last time, I don't really like the music, but it's a good show. it you look at the last set of pictures, the singer leaves the trustkill stage and heads over to the hopeless stage where shai hulud is setting it. he finishes the last song there to share with everyone. throwdown: live this band is really growing on me. everyone having fun and singing along to unity songs. what could have been better? converge: I've now seen them a ton of times (heck just last week). this was another amazing set. people were going ape shit for them. when they play stuff off when forever comes crashing it makes me so happy. I can sing along to a cd I've been listening to for years. people were crazy as usualy for them. this was basically the last full band I saw and I was happy ending it like that. |

Zombie Apocolypse is made up of former members of Shai Hulud. Matt Fox is the guitarist and I think they have the old bassist from SH too. I think they are pretty cool, very different. I personally LOVE Bear Vs. Shark. It is always funny when people see them for the first time because they are so different and because of what you said about the singer. They are just one of those bands where you either love them or hate them, and their CD is personally one of my favorites. Plus, it has one of the longest titles in the history of music: "Right Now You're In The Best Of Hands, and If Something Isn't Quite Right, Your Doctor Will Know In A Hurry" Here are a couple songs: http://www.bearvsshark.com/mp3s/BussesNoBusses.mp3 http://www.bearvsshark.com/mp3s/Ma%20Jolie.mp3 |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2004 10:27am - JayTUS ""] Oh yeah, and I don't know if you noticed, but all three guitarists/bassists in Bear Vs. Shark take turns playing the bass during their set... looks like they got a new drummer too... |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 8,2004 12:22pm - anonymous ""] You're a HUGE fan - not wanting to see them live and wishing it was their last show? ;))) haha you ppl make me lough Stop bitching about this band - Its obv fucking horrible - fucking teenage- minded pricks that still think they're in high school and smashning bins is cool YEAH RIGHT ...;))) The only way to deal with this band is to stop talk about it. they cant play music so they can drow attention by only being "violent" (or whatever that means) -This is the only way ppl are going to pay attention to such a mediocre band in the US. it just goes to show how stupid amercians really are and what your society is made of...Even in HARDCORE !!! PERIOD |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 11,2004 5:00pm - RustedAngel ""] "You've probably heard about Bad Luck 13 Riot Extravaganza's performance at Hellfest last night. If not, the group's performance (billed as their final show ever) escalated into a bonafied riot. For starters, if you don't know anything about Bad Luck 13, they're from Philadelphia and they have a reputation for turning their shows into flat-out mayhem. For this reason, they were the last band slated to perform on the Hot Topic stage at Hellfest, and the second to last band slated to perform at the entire event (Fear Factory being the finale). And sure enough, things got out of hand rather quickly once the group took the stage. Barbwired bats, pig blood/parts, smoke bombs, and fluorescent light bulbs were all part of the chaos. Here's an account from Lambgoat's Dave, who was covering Hellfest for us, and on hand to witness the incident: "I'm sure you know of their antics, but this was pretty insane. They only played a few songs. During their first song, it was wild but still pretty light-hearted. People were just throwing trash bags and trash cans and plastic bottles. But when they played "Homicidal," shit got nuts. The Hot Topic stage was in a gymnasium so there were bleachers that were about six levels high. The bleachers were flipped, whilst people were standing on them. I saw everything from a kid taking a fluorescent light bulb and throwing it like a javelin into the middle of everyone to a metal chair flying at least a hundred feet across the building and cracking a kid in the face. The cops showed up and I left within an hour or two afterwards and I didn't see anyone get arrested, but it was too crowded outside the building to really tell." Further reports indicate that paramedics arrived quickly, but were somewhat stymied by the throng of people rushing away from the gymnasium. The security staff had no idea what to do and several fights ensued. There have also been rumors floating around regarding the presence of sawblades during the "riot," but we've found no official evidence of this. Certainly, a girl did not die from a sawblade injury, which is one particular rumor we've seen on some message boards. All we can say is: anyone who didn't see this coming hasn't been paying attention." |
