| ________________________________ [Jun 27,2003 1:25am - hybrid ""] well if i had to pick a best show i know it might not be as high in some peoples lists but i was completely blown away when i saw tears of avarel for the second time at chicken little fest or whatever the fuck it was at right attitudes. those guys put on one of the best shows i have ever seen and still to this day i remain in awe of that band. i dont remember who else was on the bill, im sure iranach was, but i really only remember toa making me shit my pants. and i was glad to shit my pants... |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 27,2003 11:36am - joe/notcommon ""] haha no offense, but: shadows fall - keene, nh 2002 (about 35 kids...what a ball) was that with the guy with the dreadlocks? he sucks deftones - lowell, ma 2000 PHAT YO, the deftones are the most terribly generic nu-metal ever, yet for some reason they make fun of nu-metal, maybe they are mad that they are even less talented then disturbed and coal chamber dillenger escape plan/red chord - worcester, ma 2002 if i have nothing nice to say then I won't say anything at all oh too late |

| ______________________________ [Jun 27,2003 5:39pm - blue ""] joe, you're very welcome to your own opinions. but i believe that the deftones have never been a "nu-metal" band. they happened to be coming up during the nu-metal boom, but they have been always doing their own thing. since 1989, they have been doing their own brand of highly emotional heavy music. they dont talk about how they had parents that didnt give them the presents they wanted, nor do they talk about all the other standard nu-metal topics (dad gropes kid, kid cries, etc.). nor have they ever decided to do the silly nu-metal mindless open string boring chug-a-lug. oh, and shadows fall owns, joe. sorry. |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 28,2003 9:45pm - AllanHoldsworth ""] sure deftones are a joke. that's common knowledge. and even shadows fall, i don't mind if you knock them. but their dreaded singer, brian fair, is a good guy. he was in Overcast, the band that single-handedly created the metalcore genre (a gay genre, but still). best 5 shows i've seen: -hatebreed. september 1998 at the elvis room -amorphis @ NEMF 2000 -meshuggah @ NEMF 2001 -meshuggah. oct 28, 2002. lowell, ma. -meshuggah. may 24, 2003. new york city. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 28,2003 11:54pm - dreadkill ""] i don't care who knocks who, but i think brian fair is a cool dude. he supports metal and rock . i see him at a lot of shows, and despite the ozzfest appearances and popularity, he remains a down to earth guy. overcast was great. brian fair is a metal motherfucker :doublehorns: |

Seth called me gay and then intimidated me for money after the show, and never did the reek of vodka from that man cease. (Fuck you for taking the equipment away before the show was over, Alex Baker.

| ________________________________ [Sep 1,2003 7:28pm - Anthony ""] Yes, I did drink Clamato. And I'm saddened to admit I enjoyed every drop of it. Where did that come from anyway? Was it some promotional gimmick from that TV show with Busey's son? |
