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 |

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 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." |
