| _______________________________________________ [Jan 17,2006 10:24pm - chris_from_shit_fuck ""] Watchmaker is the best local band ever. Enough said. I've never seen a band with so much intensity live, and each one of their albums gets better as they mature. I'm pretty sure that is not Watchmaker's last show "ever". |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 6:24am - watchmaker666 ""] This is not our last show ever, we have a few more in the spring. And as far as being overrated goes Id like to show you my one and only 12$ royalty check, and then you can tell me how overated we are. Fucker |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 6:29am - Messerschmitt ""] WOW. This will be awesome. Play a set with John in MA! or atleast record the Ny set? I can't make it to NY but I'm very curious to hear what Watchmaker will sound like with John playing drums. Fucking DESTROY!!! |
| ______________________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 7:17am - armageddanne i Oslo ""] I dont see how royalties check have anything to do with overrated, you're not on a major label, are you? |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 7:36am - watchmaker666 ""] The point I was trying to make is that we don't make any money and have played lots of empty rooms SO HOW THE FUCK ARE WE OVERRATED? Statements like that make me fucking laugh. |

| _______________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 9:50am - watchmaker666 ""] If you don't like watchmaker that's fine, lots and lots of people don't like watchmaker. I'm just trying to figure out how we are "overrated". Lack of sleep is letting this shit get to me, you know what, I am over it your right we are overrated I'll be sure to let the 10 people who come to see us at our next show not to waste their money and go see whatever kickass band you are in instead. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 9:53am - the_reverend ""] one of the songs on the new watchmaker CD sounds like a short number 12 looks like you song. how can moe not get behind that? |

| ______________________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 10:20am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Rev, the bigfoot thing is all kinds of awesome. Watchmaker deserves all the praise they get, they are excellent and one of the most unique local bands, with a clear and concentrated vision, and a great balance of brutality and intelligence. If you don't get it, you don't get it. Certainly the band is not for everyone. And I'm sure they wouldn't have it any other way. |

| _________________________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 11:44am - mark fucking richards ""] i can understand why some people don't like watchmaker, but i for one think they are one of the greatest local bands, if not one of my favorite bands. no matter how many people are at a show or how many people don't give a shit, you can tell they still put their all into every performance and recording. brian is a scary motherfucker when he has a microphone. |

(a lot of the song's didn't seem to gel together right and some of the "high points" would come out like 5 guys just fucking around on stage.) some times people can't get into music when they see it if they don't understand it. these are the same people who don't understand why it's a party and everyone's invited when andrew WK plays. the new CD on the other hand. anyone how claims they like grindcore and doesn't like their CD either didn't listen to it and is just fronting, or really doesn't like grindcore and is a poser. either way, you are doing something that can only be described in street talk terms. this CD is awesome. |

| ____________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 7:48pm - BornSoVile ""] watchmaker's stage "theatrics" = feedback, beer cans on the stage, and a crazy singer who doesn't blink or close his eyes when he's singing. it's not that bad, trust me! |
| __________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 7:51pm - brian_dc ""] I just saw pictures of gauntlets and saws and stuff and got a little taken aback considering that they're a grind band...looked more black metal or gore by the pictures. But I picked up the CD on Rev's recommendation and think it's fucking great. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 7:52pm - RichHorror ""] I love how people talk about Watchmaker like its Alice Cooper. Brian wears spiked gauntlets and sometimes sings into a sawblade mic stand. It's called showmanship, look into it. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 8:05pm - brian_dc ""] I don't call that showmanship, it's just props...just not something I'm into...I wasn't calling them overrated for using props, I like them a lot and will look forward to seeing them live. meh, I'm done. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 8:06pm - badsneakers ""] I always dug Watchmaker but the new album elevated them to the point of greatness in my mind and forever solidified a spot in my record collection. But I'm just an asshole with an opinion just like the rest of you. Overrated, underrated, whatever...life is fine |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 8:08pm - RichHorror ""] The new album is the best thing they've ever done. it's as the same time their most chaotic and most cohesive disc. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 8:11pm - KeithMutiny ""] with just a scan through, I realise how retarded this thread has become. Yo, when you dudes play this show in Brooklyn, tell Mary that Throwing Shrapnel says whats up. and for the record i dig watchmaker, but anyone that knows my taste would already know that. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 8:13pm - brian_dc ""] the thing that I loved about the Watchmaker CD was that I had absolutely no expectation whatsoever...I'm ignorant enough that I was never told what genre they were and I had forgotten about any sort of image behind them other than the album art and........ the cd sounded so fucking good that none of that genre shit even mattered. |

I think you got that ass backwards since metalcore kids won't listen to death metal since they think it's for losers, while Kerry King is the guy showing up in sum 41 videos.

Actually, Josh reminds me of my best friend Mike who thinks pretty much all music after 1990 sucks, except he isn't a dickhead to everyone who has different taste and well, he just doesn't suck as human being. Good Al Bundy comparison Nick, that was pure pwnage. Anal Cunt is fucking gay; no that is not a joke. Porphyria has a new song called "Josh Martin is Gay" It's wicked true and metalcore! :middlefinger: |
| ______________________________________________ [Jan 20,2006 1:10pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] I think it's hilarious that the people who don't like Watchmaker because of what they wear and how they act on stage are the same people saying that the music should matter above everything else. |

The original point I was trying to make was that I had a problem with being called overrated, I don't care if people don't like us, lots of people don't like us and that's fine. But to be overrated would imply that we are a "popular" band which is untrue, we don't make any money doing this and we can't even sell out obriens which holds like 50 fucking people, but we wouldn't have it any other way. And as far as the gauntlets and gimmick's go, people who know Brian know that thats just Brian, it's genuine trust me. He is one talented mother fucker and the Boston metal scene is a better place because he's in it. Thats all, flame away! |

I don't have a problem with people not liking Watchmaker's music but it's just stupid to let a band's look detract from your enjoyment of the music. It's not like you can hear gauntlets or saws on the album. |

At the middle east show we played together Brian told my singer Tim that his highs were awesome and that he should just do those all the time. We thought that was pretty funny but we like the deep/high mix. |

I actually went to the back ot the Middle East because i thought was going to start laughing." If you had just said you didn't like the music no one would've cared but that wasn't what you said at all. Way to backpedal though. |

"the Watchmaker Wars" this is up there with the intellectual warfare during Katrina, "fuck hurricane victims" and the fantactical war on christmas. Who needs TV when RttP is all the entertainment you need?? Boston Metal Elite = If you don't know, you missed the point |

"Elite" is only used when someone feels left out and doesn't get why no one likes them. Shit, I've been a metalhead for over 20 years, I better be in the fucking elite by now. |

Please copy and paste where I said "They are a gimmick band". |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 20,2006 4:32pm - BestialOnslaught ""] TASTE OF SILVER's gimmick is that they have a rapist in the band. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 20,2006 4:34pm - Josh_Martin ""] Yeah, reading comprehension, because that comment was directed at the faggot from propheria, not you. You did side with Moe-ron though, so its a logical assumption that you too think they are a gimmick band. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 20,2006 4:37pm - Josh_Martin ""] The Boston Metal Elite's gimick is not allowing faggots and poseurs into their club of super-eliteness. If you have to ask if you're part of the super metal elite, you aren't. Where is Paul Baloff when you need him?? |

Yeah I can see how that's relevant to whether or not a band wearing gauntlets and using a big rusty saw is a gimmicky stage trick or not. Makes perfect sense to me, totally makes sense to work sexual assault into the mix. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jan 22,2006 12:42pm - Women Against Rape ""] Aha! So, you admit to sexual assault. The prosecution is going to love this one. |
