| _______________________________________ [Jun 22,2003 9:55am - joe/notcommon ""] yeah, i would say buy one size bigger then you normally get i felt like a bloat cat after buying mine but it fits ok, i think i am more use to my other hoodie with is huge, one of those nice carhart ones mmmm |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 22,2003 9:58am - joe/notcommon ""] i had this weird dream where I was at jarrods, but the place was totally different. RK was hanging up this huge banner in the window at the front of jarrods (which actually only existed in my dream). I was talking to their singer about stuff, then I was running my distro table, which was doing really well. Then I went to the singer of RK's office (for some reason she had an office inside Jarrod's, it was down the hallway- which also only existed in my dream). She kept trying to steal my money, which for some reason I pulled out of my backpack (it was like 300 dollars). Then I got into an argument with her about being greedy or something, she eventually managed to escape with a man with an eye patch and some other guy in a suit, they flew off in their helicopter. pretty strange, but thats how it happened. but the bands played good! |

| _______________________________________ [Jun 22,2003 11:03am - the_reverend ""] I had a dream that a wild dog attacked me. soi woke up and played some zelda |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 22,2003 12:08pm - the_reverend ""] I'm heading down now. be there or be square. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 22,2003 12:26pm - xmikex ""] this is gonna suck out of control. i'll be there at 9 for terminally and i'll be getting kicked out around 9:16 |

| _______________________________________ [Jun 22,2003 2:11pm - joe/notcommon ""] 2 pm |
| ______________________________ [Jun 23,2003 3:24am - blue ""] well, i just got back. id have to say overall the show was a half decent success. we definetly gave jarrods place the best metal show of its existence. tons of thank yous go out to all the people who came down to see all the bands. another bunch of thanks go out to all the bands who played. thanks to the guys in umbrella for coming down on such short notice to play. oh yeah, a big NO THANKS to the guys in progressive dementia and our fate ends for being no shows and leaving me with an hour and a half of silence. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 4:06am - Terence ""] Also a huge no thanks to the bands that didn't stick around for the end:middlefinger: the accursed tore it up, all the bands in my opinion were great, I just wish that they would have shown some respect and stuck around for the other bands, it's only fair, no excuses. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 4:35am - the_reverend ""] I just got home. need.. sleep.. but I'm going to do the pictures first. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:06am - the_reverend ""] http://www.returntothepit.com/concert.php?date=2003-06-22&did=1529 the pictures are uploading now. I'll review and fix spelling in a few hours at work. sleep now. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 6:04am - ratt_mowe ""] hey now, i woulda stuck around had it not been a sunday night, seeing as i had to wake up this morning at 5am just to go build a house all day. framing houses for work with little sleep and a lot of a fatigue is not the funnest thing in the world. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 7:20am - thegreatspaldino ""] no... it isnt ... BUT... asian girls... now those are fun ;) |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 8:43am - tyagxgrind ""] TYAG would have stayed to catch the other sick bands that were playing but unfortinatly all of us had to work the next day (early!) and had to drop our shit off at our studio and we made it home about 1:30-1:45am and now we have to go to work. Thanks to Blue for putting our dumb asses on this show! Thanks to all the kids who said they liked us, and to Umbrella for splitting a set with us! Oh yeah and thanks to Jarrod's for giving us all such a hard time. Fuck you all that run that place, dont expect us back! Devon - Vocals (TYAG) http://www.tyag.cjb.net tyagxgrind@hotmail.com |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 9:43am - A_Cold_Reality ""] I would have stuck around too, the best bands were definetly at the latter end of the show. However, I have classes in the morning and stayed for as long as I possible could. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 9:47am - joostin ""] i wish i could have made it but i was with a couple of minors all night |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 11:16am - the_reverend ""] warning: this review is written on 2.5 hours of sleep. P.S.: I didn't know what to expect from these guys, but for some reason, I wasn't expecting much. I was very surprised. their set was very good and they did a cephalic carnage "cover". Our Fate Ends: noshow Progressive Dementia: noshow A Terrible Night For A Curse: I spent most of the set trying to figure out if I liked them or not. Part would be great and then part would sound like nu-metal. very confusing. Their drummer also used a trigger set instead of a real drum-set, but it sounded really good. Spider Gates: at first they were kind-of doomy with keyboards and a female singer, but after a song or two they played mostly instrumental old school imortal-esque black metal minus the hate-fuzz. The set sounded good, but was basically one long song so it got to be a little tiring after a while. Raising Kubrick: I liked the first few songs, but the last few tracks, the females singers vocals seemed less controlled, going from something that sound a bit like arch enemy to something more of just a scream with evil-sounding vocie around it. A Cold Reality: 3 songs intrumental and then a few songs with a friend of theirs singing. the instrumentals where ok. I think I wasn't in the mood for instrumentals at all so I lost interest. The last song they played I swore was a shadows fall cover (crushing belial), but I don't think it actually was. They are still looking for a singer. Terminally, Your Aborted Ghost: wow, this was awsome. TYAG has gone through a line up switch as of late, but with the great spaldino and nick (lftd) it sounds awesome. I also here they are trying out one more member, but shhhhh... Umbrella: what an awesome set by them. They were add to the bill basically after the show was started, splitting a set with tyag. it was so good that people where jumping onto the stage and rolling into the band. Bane Of Existence: The singer (doug) was sick (actually I bet he was pleasing a lady repetively instead of playing, what a homo) so boe went singer less and did a pretty sick instrumental set. Though, check my previous comment about not being in the mood for instruments so I watched from a far. Ascendancy: great set, they played much better than the night before and sounded so much better. The 2 guitarist even walked out into the crowd while playing. Now, buy the bassist a wireless kit so she so the whole band, minus the drummer can stand in the audience. The Accursed: These guys rocked out and they even played a slayer cover. It was pretty late by this point, but they still played really good. the sound was iffy for they for some reason, I think the sound guy was just trying to get them done to get the show over. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 11:34am - xmikex ""] so i showed up and some stupid band was playing and they were terrible. Raising Kubrick shouldn't have even shown up they were that awful. ACR has come a long way in the time that I've known them, but I disagree with their decision to do a show without a singer. Terminally and Umbrella rocked that gay bar to the fucking ground. AWSOME performances by each band. These are 2 bands I'm really really excited about. It's just too bad that the crowd for the show was basically the attleboro mall and couldn't get their collective 9 second attention span together in time to see either of these bands. Not their faults, they probably got distracted by something shiny (fags). I didn't get to see Ascendancy or BOE cuz my ride wanted to leave, plus i had seen them the night before. On top of that I had zero ambition to remain at Jarrods. Just so everyone knows JARRODS FUCKING SUCKS. If you book a show there you're gay. If you think it's a good idea to book an all day show at jarrods you should eat a cyanide sandwich with a side of AIDS. And nope it didn't look like any of the other bands were sticking around to watch ANYONE, but what else do you expect from a bunch of faggy nu metal kids. ps. pantera sucks. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 2:07pm - Maggot ""] This show was pretty messed up. I had never been to Jarrod's before, so I'm not sure if that is the usualy crowd size. TYAG, I thought you guys were awesome. The Accursed, sorry we missed you but our equipment was in and open back truck and then it started to rain. I'm the wuss on the electric kit aterriblenight@yahoo.com |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 2:14pm - mcp32 ""] hi my name is xmikex and i am a large homo with a cum dripping ass.... i know so much about music.... i could probably wrie a coulum in Rolling Stone... i like to make fun of good music because it makes me feel like a have a huge cock.... put on a better show faggot.... i hope i meet you in a dark ally way pussy..... |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 2:20pm - xmikex ""] if i didn't like your band get over it. be a professional about it and deal. and as far as the threats go....anytime tuffguy. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 2:46pm - xmikex ""] ps. i think i'll take your advice and book a show of my own. im tired of knobs like you booking one Night of the Living Shit after another. 2000 bands that draw 3 people each in an all day crap fest. What ever happened to putting effort into putting together a good quality show so people can come and have a good time? Whatever happened to booking REAL headliners instead of whoever you can get to play for free? Whatever happened to kids booking shows for the sake of putting on quality fun shows, not just to find an excuse for people to see their crappy band? Whatever happened to shows where people could have fun and dance without having to sit through 6 hours of bands they'll never care about? These shows are still there but they're so few and far between with all the bullshit shows that boners like you book it's like they don't even exist. So yes smartass I will book a better show, and no your douchebag mall metal band won't be asked to play. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 3:01pm - mcp32 ""] i dont care that you didn't like my band, cause i proably wouldn't like yours... i just want you to know that someone took a lot of time and effort to put on a show that people who like metal could go to and have a good time at.... sorry it wasn't to your liking.... also why go to a show where your wasting your time, money and precious life when all your going to do is make fun of every one there except for your friends..... thats not right.... next time dude dont go to the show.... it would be benificial to you and the rest of the people who went there to have a good time..... sorry for the threats, thats not me. some time emotions get the better of us.................... |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 3:06pm - mcp32 ""] p.s i didn't book the show.... sorry to ruin your dreams bro.... take it with the man that did.... i was just there to have a good time not to start a war.... sorry...... |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 3:12pm - xmikex ""] i went to see Terminally and Umbrella because they're friends of mine and they rule. Everything I said was opinions, everyones got em. Jarrods deserves to be made fun of at all cost. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 23,2003 4:29pm - blue ""] listen. i booked local bands that i like, that i feel deserved to play. i would have loved to get beyond the sixth seal to play (they were going to) but i wasnt in the mood to pay an absurd guarantee. im poor. i booked this show (my first one at that) because i wanted to give people the opportunity to see a wide variety of bands for CHEAP MONEY. im sorry your elitist ass wasnt satisfied. |
| __________________________________________________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 4:30pm - Blight/Pete of Spider Gates and Raising Kubrick ""] To XMikeX: Do you even know how to play an instrument? Or do you just sit home all day and cry to your precious emmo music? |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 4:33pm - Blight/Pete ""] xmikex, I am glad you hate my my music. I prefer my admirers to not be pathetic and insignificant. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 4:37pm - Blight/Pete ""] xmikex, next time spend your seven dollars on something that will subdue you. Bands would be better off if you were to fucked to go their show. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 4:43pm - Blight/Pete ""] xmikex, never come to our shows again. Enjoy your personal musical popularity contest. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 4:53pm - Pete/Blight ""] P.S. At least I agree on your appreciation for Terminally and Umbrella. They are both very talented bands. I hope you have enjoyed my opinion after all everyone has one right? |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 4:59pm - RustedAngel ""] Pete/Blight: you should uhh, register, and all you have to do is click edit to change a post on the fly, instead of having 5 posts right after eachother, either that or wait until you get all your thoughts out then post it... just a suggestion to keep the board cleaner. :shocked: |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:01pm - xmikex ""] <<xmikex, never come to our shows again.>> hahahaha waaaaay ahead of you there cheif. glad it took you 7 posts to say something half way intelligent. p.s. i've seen some pretty poor kids book some pretty decent shows. so much for that. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:03pm - Pete/Blight ""] Just keep in mind that these are my opinions and not the opinions of my bands. So if your one of those persons that likes to hunt people down and have your friends help you get revenge over some random comments that were made in response to your words. Leave them out of it. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:05pm - xmikex ""] <<So if your one of those persons that likes to hunt people down and have your friends help you get revenge over some random comments that were made in response to your words.>> if i recall correctly you guys made the threats at me. yup. thought so. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:12pm - Pete/Blight ""] I made no threat.I simply want nothing to do with you. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:16pm - xmikex ""] <<I simply want nothing to do with you.>> then why post in the first place? way to make a point. you can stop talking now, you've thoroughly embarassed yourself epecially considering i have no idea who you even are. stop talking. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:16pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] C'mon now, why fight when we can all do this? [img] Thats what I thought. I had fun, saw all but the first band, and liked most of em. I'd say it was a decent show with more people than Jarrod's is used to for metal. Could've been better, could've been worse, but it was still a lot of fun, and the 20 people that didn't leave after Umbrella are all my new best friends. Yeah. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:23pm - Pete/Blight ""] By the way, those are five posts. At least I am half way intelligent enough to count. Although I can be a shitty speller |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:26pm - RustedAngel ""] tyag as well as a lot of people should have stayed to see ascendency. so fucking intense. i had to drive 2 1/2 hours to get home in the rain and I still stayed for about 4 accursed songs. I had to work at 7am too. so choke on a boner. Jarrods wouldn't be a bad place if they actually had a sign by the street so people knew where it was. The fucking thing is underground. They have a REAL PA and other gear unlike most any elks lodge or whatever the fuck. People also should book shows there on fridays' or saturdays' with at least one BIG headlining band to draw. P.S. - Missed their set. Our Fate Ends - So fucking glad these assmunchers didn't show up. wooot. no eminem cover songs. A Terrible Night For A Curse - I still don't know what to think about these guys. One minute I was like yeaah, then like naaaah. Blast beats one minute then a new fear factory sound the next. The electric drums sounded pretty tight. Spider Gates - A bad cradle of filth cover band. Trying to look scary with a bad makeup job. Had a girl with cleavage on stage for one song and all she did was go 'ahhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' out of pitch. Super long songs with no interesting riffs going on. Each boring riff played for 5 minutes. Raising Kubrick - Not bad, Dual Guy/ Girl vocals. The guys vocals were pretty good, and the girls just sounded like she was getting raped. Good stage presence overall. Cool to see girls getting into this shit. A Cold Reality - Bad choice to play a show with no vocals. Good guitarring as well as drums. Just got tiring after a while. Terminally, Your Aborted Ghost - Devon sucks at death vocals.... not really. Matt doesn't play guitar upsidedown/backwards.... not really. Spaldino fucking 17 year old madman on bass. Nick a bit better at drums than he was in letters from the dead. Umbrella - Played last minute... was decent I guess. A lot of energy which is always good as long as the music is tight. I don't remember either guitar players ever being in as the sun sets. Though I can hear the resemblence to them. These kind of bands will never compare to old as the sun sets even if there are ex members in the band. Don't even try. Bane Of Existence - I needed a rest so I just sat back and watched the drummer who is pretty fucking good. Another band who shouldn't have played without a singer, but whatever. Its cool. Ascendancy - Missed them the previous night in Stoughton, they fucking rip it up though. fuck. Mike is so god damn fast he burnt holes in his hands. Terrence can pull of his vocals along with the fast riffs. Sharleen knows how to play bass, she needs to put on a metal face when she plays though, or headbang. heh. Seth has some endurance, this guy could probably hump 8 million girls in one night and not even break a sweat. The only thing that could be improved upon is the guitar sound, real amps with cabs would definetly improve the sound of this band a lot. The Accursed - Caught about 4 of their songs before deciding it was time to make the journey home. They have some really good guitar sections. I still don't know how I feel about the vocals throughout. One of the guitar players had a sick yngwie malmsteen style shirt on. hehe. He needs the cross bracelets though. Someone needs to tell the bass player that smoking while you play is not good for the lungs, and not cool anymore. heh. Though he was wearing an Evergrey shirt which shows he knows what good music is. Glad I stuck around for them unlike almost everyone else. Good show, wish people stuck around longer...

| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:27pm - Pete/Blight ""] Good call on the picture. I can get ahead of myself. I mean for no fued. I just become very responsive and angry towards criticism that does not even explain why all the bands "sucked". Why do they. Were they no fast enough? not loud enough? Give and honest unbiased critique. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:27pm - xmikex ""] your medal is in the mail. are you still here? |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:36pm - Pete/Blight ""] In response to the Rusted angel comment. We were experiencing problems that night. My kit was falling apart and we were having trouble heariung eachother. What you thought was A Terrrible Night was actually Spider gates. It was definitly not us at are best. Our repetoir of black metals styles goes beyond what was played. We did not have time to play more songs. Please give us another shot. You may enjoy our other stuff. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 23,2003 5:41pm - ratt_mowe ""] yeah tom, but you get to make pretty little designs and print them on shirts..... i could do that with my eyes closed. try building a fucking house WITH YOUR BARE HANDS!!!! so take that boner of yours and insert it somewhere else. i was thinking a barrell full of eggs and those baked beans from taco bell. nobody south of the border cares enough to give a maine man the meal he asked for. damn you'ze dirty apes. |
