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. |
