| ____________________________________________ [Jul 7,2008 4:42pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I was on the fence about it too, but I've been waiting to see At The Gates for probably 12 years or so. $28 plus a $4.50 service charge sucks, but I'd much rather spend the money than miss out, even if they decide to tour again. Plus I finally got paid by a few clients so I actually have a few extra bucks to spare. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 9,2008 3:57pm - Hungtableed ""] Knowing that this is only 2 days away...I officially have a fully. I can't fucking wait. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 10,2008 6:01pm - Hungtableed ""] Shit man...I'd likely get a bourbon with you, but, if you are down with a scotch...it's on me. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 10,2008 7:49pm - goatcatalyst ""] as an advocate of irresponsibly mixing liquors, i am easily persuaded. scotch is always a good time. |

Even at the nurses if your hear bad english or none at all. honestly if it didn't mean crowds of douchebags in castro hats and hours of standing, I'd probably still go. But I am on doc's orders not to be on my feet much at the moment and I don't want to run the risk of some fucking moron in girl pants spin kicking me in the baby. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 10,2008 11:55pm - NuclearWinter ""] Going relatively early, as Toxic Holocaust is opening. Pretty weak they're not on the flyer. |

| ________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 12:38pm - Benfo ""] I saw the show last night in NYC. At the Gates was ridiculous. They closed with Need, which was kinda weird. Not really a great song to close with, in my opinion, but whatevs. Darkest Hour wasn't too shabby. Municipal Waste definitely brought their own crowd, but weren't too bad either. Great set list from ATG. |

| _______________________________ [Jul 11,2008 3:26pm - aril ""] yes, it's very, very, very sad that Dethklok sells out and this doesn't. however, if At the Gates had a TV show, then, just then, there'd be a possibility of it selling out. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 8:42pm - the_reverend ""] walking down to the crowd seemed a little empty. I thing they are expecting 1300ish so not sold out... toxic holocaust: again seeing them without tons of stage diving is kind of lame, but the audience kept up the juice, circle pitting and fist pumping like crazy. After they played war is hell, there was a lot more crowd surfing. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 11,2008 10:12pm - the_reverend ""] municipal waste: how odd is it seeing these guys on stage with a barricade? The kids that did make it over the barricade, they were pushed back into the crowd. For the one kid that made it on stage, he was tossed out after stage diving. robing tested out their mics too. they played an excel cover that I don't remember. off split image. but they kept talking about schrooms. this wasn't as "balls out" as they usually play, but they were still tripping from last night. upstairs would have killed with them tonight. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:03am - the_reverend ""] pictures in a few minutes |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:09am - i_am_lazy ""] Oh my god was this awesome. Well, ATG themselves. Toxic Holocaust was alright (Better on CD as someone else said...and the drummer sucks), Municipal Waste was worse than I remember, and Darkest Hour predictably blow goats for quarters as always. Seriously, the Waste has a serious identity crisis going on. The vocalist wants to be Mike Muir, the bassist wants to be Frank Bello, and they steal Megadeth song titles and artwork. I understand that's part of the whole bit, but it's tiring. And they got fucking sloppy on the faster beats. I'm still psyched ATG played All Life Ends. A lot of the leads were kinda buried in the mix. But that's the ONLY thing I could complain about. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:18am - kevinthesprigg ""] That was SO FUCKING GOOD! |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:43am - theaccurseddrummer ""] Holy shit. At the fucking Gates. That's all you need to say. Seriously? I forgot who else played. They don't even matter. At the Gates, best band I've ever seen at The Palladium. BTW, Pam and Jon DID go, and they left a few songs from the end when she started having contractions. They went to the hospital and are going home because she's not quite ready, but she's definitely in the earlier stages of labor. At the Gates + new nephew = AWESOME weekend. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 8:29am - darkenedsoul ""] That was a killer show from ATG. Overall sound I thought was very good. Only thing I'd have liked would have been a bit more ummph in the kick drums as they were on the light side sound-wise. But that was fucking amazing to see them. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 8:38am - metalguy ""] yea, the drummer for municipal waste sucked... on the fast beats he was losing it and just hitting the hi hat... shouldn't he be more rehearsed? hasn't he been touring for a while? |
| _____________________________ [Jul 12,2008 8:59am - pam ""] Apparently At The Gates was only capable on inducing FALSE labor. I could have stayed until the end. Gay. Totally worth it though. Save for missing the last few songs, best.show.ever. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 9:07am - theaccursedvokillist ""] At the gates = greatest show ever Darkest hour = big wall of suck seeing old friends = outstanding Tom aka FuckIsMySignature = loudest dude ever! Aarons Hawaiian shirt = Priceless |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 9:09am - FuckIsMySignature ""] I believe this show holds my new record for most times hit in the face. What a fucking killer concert. Need and Blinded by Fear were my favs but everything sounded tiiiight. Good to see a healthy supply of RTTPers in attendance. Also got the chance to meet IRL the infamous Granny Monster and Alexc. Great time all around. |

| ___________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 9:28am - FuckIsMySignature ""] Aww if it makes you feel better i went to labor this morning too... Gave birth to a 9lb Taco Bell baby. |
| _____________________________ [Jul 12,2008 9:36am - pam ""] FuckIsMySignature said:Aww if it makes you feel better i went to labor this morning too... Gave birth to a 9lb Taco Bell baby. My daughter asked me if her brother had to "come out of your butt or what?" That was an interesting moment in parenthood. PS- Rev, SWEET pictures. [img] |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 10:10am - the_reverend ""] I'm having my taco bell baby as I type |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 10:12am - christopher ""] That shows was fucking balls out. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 10:23am - Slymo ""] yeah and it was a good show too... |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 10:34am - Hungtableed ""] Holy christ in hell, I'm not even sure what to say. At the Gates lived up to my every expectation and then some. Aaron's description on the front page was dead on. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 11:22am - HeavensJail ""] So pissed that I missed this. Hopefully they'll be as good when I see them in 3 weeks. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 12:49pm - yummy ""] Just woke up. I don't even wanna shower. I'm considering retaining my beer, sweat, and "just saw ATG stench" for the weekend. I have no decent review. Oh my fucking god. I haven't had a smile on my face last this long in quite a while. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 1:33pm - Hungtableed ""] I'm glad I didn't get wasted like I usually do because now I will actually remember seeing them, perhaps even for as long as I live. Shit was fucking priceless. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 1:40pm - the_reverend ""] and you remember seeing me. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 1:43pm - quintessence ""] This show was worth breaking my foot for. I missed like 2 of At The Gate's song's but they let me go back out there. My foot HURTS so bad right now. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 1:57pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i broke my everything |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:01pm - Hungtableed ""] Yeah, I remember seeing you Rev. Considering my lack of intake of alcohol, I was in rare form. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 12,2008 2:45pm - yummy ""] I think I shaved off 10 years of my life last night. Cuz I haven't lost my shit like that since I was 19. Still in awe. Wish I could've talked to you rev. You're description was certainly right on. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 3:13pm - GRIZLOCH ""] someone complain about this show so that I can say, "should have come to bedfid" go |
| _____________________________ [Jul 12,2008 3:34pm - pam ""] "you should have come to new bedford." Nope. That never correctly applies to anything. Ever. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 3:36pm - MarksFuckingRichard ""] This show was so good. I drank so many milkshakes with my new identity. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 12,2008 5:20pm - Arist ""] Voice still gone from last night, best show ever. Forever blind!!!! |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 12,2008 10:38pm - DaveFromTheGrave ""] Easily one of the best shows I've ever been to. EVERYONE was there. everyone. I managed to look right at pam and make eye contact and not recognize her because I'm retarded. Did anyone else notice that there was actually a decent ratio of tacos to sausage there? |
| __________________________________ [Jul 13,2008 1:41am - Robinyo ""] haha MIKE CHECKER 1-2 |
| _______________________________ [Jul 13,2008 1:51am - Slymo ""] i wonder how all the bands that copied ATGs sound feel about these guys coming around again. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 13,2008 1:58am - SacreligionNLI ""] sucks that i wasn't able to make this. the bedfid show was pretty good though. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 13,2008 2:16am - BSV ""] the show was pretty awesome. lots of people there. plenty of good friends. toxic holocaust was great, sounded killer. crazy seeing them play for 30 people in pvd to go to downstairs palladium. i encouraged a tie died grateful dead wearing hippy to move the fuck out of the way since he wasn't headbanging. headbanging is the law when you are up front. if you're not doing it, don't be there. same goes for all those faggots with long hair who still havn't figured out how to headbang - get out of metal. municipal waste was meh. sloppy and boring on a big stage-but yeah, luckily it's fun watching fans go nuts, sweet circle pit! darkest hour. what was up with those soap boxes with knock off metallica lil dudes carved into them? that was weird. i felt bad for them, following up against two bands that have really paved a way for fashion to out a way of actually being credibility. those lights made me not look at the stage and kinda hid the fact that they suck at rocking out, clearly they havn't seen enough KISS or Judas Priest footage. At The Gates was exceptional. Very strong set. Other than them not being young and not having the energy of the past, they were terrific. Yes, the leads were lost in the mix but overall it was satisfactory. Great range of material. Woulda loved to hear Like An Ever Opening Flower though. OH WELL! Windows...Kingdom Gone...All Life Ends...THANK YOU AT THE GATES. Quite obvious that more than half the crowd still doesn't have the early albums since SOS material was definately the favorite. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 13,2008 4:55am - anal froth ""] the S.O.S. had better have been the favorite coz that's the best stuff they ever did by far. Burning Darkness? please. good stuff but not even on the same level. and who gives a shit if people aren't headbanging or aren't headbanging "properly?" They paid to get in. Maybe the next show that you go to you should just not even pay attention to the band playing and instead just monitor the crowd and make sure that no one is headbanging the wrong way or (GOD FORBID!) not headbanging at all. I know it may be tempting just to say "the hell with everyone else" and watch the band that's on stage that you came to see, but this is important stuff. If you don't police the crowd on the proper etiquette, who will? elitist scenester faggot |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 13,2008 5:16am - NuclearWinter ""] I'll punch anyone that doesn't bang their head to Toxic Holocaust. That is, if my hand is free of Miller Low Life. Laugh Out Fucking Loud. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 13,2008 5:55am - NuclearWinter ""] I've come to note that this show was so expensive, so as to fund Anders Bjorler's shampoo costs. |
| _____________________________ [Jul 13,2008 6:57am - pam ""] SOS was such a dominant, influential, important album...naturally they'd play the most from it. Think of what that fucking CD did for metal. All the bands it influenced, the people it brought to metal. Crazy. It's 13 years old and it's STILL doing that. Hearing Under A Serpent Sun live was something I've been waiting for for over 10 years, and it was a-fucking-mazing. If I wasn't so preoccupied timing contractions, I probably would had cried a little. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 13,2008 8:24am - josh_hates_you ""] my neck still hurts. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 13,2008 9:00pm - yummy ""] mine too. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 13,2008 9:08pm - yummy ""] Hearing Under A Serpent Sun live was something I've been waiting for for over 10 years, and it was a-fucking-mazing. I will never forget the look on Brendan's face (of St.Jude) when they played that song. Like he was forgiven of all sins, then proceeded to annihilate about 50 people rushing to the front to sing along. So many good memories of that night. One of those nights you realize how special it will be for years to come. Did this show turn me into a hippy? |
| _____________________________ [Jul 13,2008 9:49pm - pam ""] I wish I wasn't stuck in the balcony. I surely would have lost a few teeth for front row during the song. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 13,2008 11:22pm - xanonymousx ""] ... i was sitting down right in the middle in back of the booths near the bar, if i brought a camera i would have filmed it. |

| _______________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 12:08am - the_reverend ""] it's called the double download. brendan was very wet |
| _________________________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 7:37am - mikeofdecrepitude nli ""] Being crammed against tons of people with minimal amounts oxygen at the barrier was worth seeing ATG. They played extremly well but the sound could have been better. I agree that the leads and melodies got a bit obscured. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 12:50pm - ouchdrummer ""] WOW.... Almost the best set i've seen in years.. Definately the most nastalgic. Definately the most thrashin. I didnt' want them to stop.. And yeah, I smiled all weekend because of it. |
