Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted October 16, 2002 So, what were the band, were they good, were the support good, and were the t shirts good? i saw mushroomhead last night, they were very good, but their set was a little short. The support was Fallen To, an English metal band, who i didn't really care for, but were ok, and Ellis, another English metal band, who were fairly shit. The t shirts were £15 which is a bit on the expensive side, but i still got one, cos mushroomhead are turning into a bit of a markout band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted October 16, 2002 yes, i knew that however good AWK was or wasn't, i would have loved it, but he really blew me away. fantastic. I've never felt more love in any one place, honestly. I was kind of expecting a bunch of assholes just to go and boo him, but they didn't. And thank god. Did you see tool?

Guest notJames Report post Posted October 16, 2002 Skate and Surf Festival 2002, Asbury Park, NJ. Now that my son is over a year old, I doubt I'll have the energy (or wifely permission) to go to any more big shows. Perhaps the occasional Juliana Hatfield show whenever she's in town, or whatever $8 Maxwells (Hoboken, NJ) shows pop up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted October 16, 2002 Last show I saw was Andrew WK at the 9:30 Club in DC. The show was phenomenally fun, the venue is great (if you're anywhere in the area, check that place out--awesome atmosphere), and yes, the t-shirts were classy and only $15. The man and his band are brilliantly high-octane and fun-loving live. I'll agree with Saturnmark and say that I've never seen so many ridiculously happy people packed into one place as at that show. Opening acts weren't bad; first opener was Vendetta Red, who are picking up a little bit of steam in Europe presently and are one hell of a live show. I had a blast with them, despite not knowing any of the material beforehand. The Used, however, the "bigger" of the opening acts, kind of really blew. An unexciting clusterfuck of watered-down hardcore emo-action. If your live show sounds less alive than your studio album, there's a big problem with your performance.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted October 16, 2002 A local metal gig. Arsenic, The Downfall, and Rupturechrist. A metal cover band, a heavy groove band, and a gore band, all of which were pretty much equally as decent. It was free, and there were no shirts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted October 17, 2002 Last one I went to was a local show at the coffee shop down the street from my house. A couple friends are in it, and they're pretty good. Nothing I'd usually like, either. They did an acoustic cover of "You Shook Me All Night Long" that was to die for. Before that, WAAF Locobazooka 2002. Disturbed headlined (and was decent), but the real highlights were Flipp and the almighty BLACK LABEL SOCIETY. Anybody that says BLS sucks is a fucking idiot that can't appreciate a band where the members can PLAY their instruments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SP-1 Report post Posted October 17, 2002 Fallout '02 One of those all day festival type deals a radio station staged. It was pretty good. The undercard bands were less than memorable, but I wasn't paying much attention to them anyway. Audiovent was the only one I remember from the afternoon part of the show. Our Lady Peace was second to last, taking the stage at sunset, and they rocked the friggin' world. Got to hear the classics, as well as some of the new stuff and Benoit's theme live (SWEET!). Jimmy Eat World headlined. They are awesome live. For the other bands, the crowd was into it, but for OLP and Jimmy Eat World, it was total, loud love. I loved it. It was also my first real "big" show with big bands, so I'm sure that added to my amazement with the experience. I usually support a local band here. I know all the guys in it to varying degrees, so the local small clubs were as close as I had gotten before Fallout. SP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted October 17, 2002 Offshoot question inspired by a mention of an acoustic AC/DC song: What's the most amusing cover you've ever heard a band do live? My friend's band did "Everything about You." by Ugly Kid Joe, only a little heavier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted October 17, 2002 I heard Foo Fighters tease/goof on Backstreet Boys' "Larger Than Life". That was pretty funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted October 17, 2002 Hell yeah, notJames. Gotta love Midtown. Yes they do. Jersey represent!!! And just to tie it to the recent offshoot question, at the aforementioned Skate and Surf Festival, Midtown performed as their alter egos the Lords of Semen, where they took the stage in mullet wigs, head bands, and sleeveless t-shirts and opened with two GNR tunes. The normally cynical skater crowd lapped it up like so many Rottweilers at a butcher shop, proving one and for all that arena rock music is universal and no one is immune.

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted October 17, 2002 I saw SEVENDUST a few months back. Their a great live band. A few weeks back I saw "Believer" which is a Ozzy/Black Sabbath tribute band. I've seen these guys about 7 times in the last 4 years, and their damn good. Next Month Axl Rose & his G-N-R Tribute band is coming here, so I'm trying to deside if it's worth going. Which, I doubt it will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mr. Adam Report post Posted October 17, 2002 Last concert I attended was Korn on September 10th in The Royal Dublin Society. Support was Puddle of Mudd and some other band. Anyone help me out there? Their last song rocked bells anyway. Puddle of Mudd were soundly booed for the most part although whatshisname the frontman was very nice about it. Korn were awesome. They played with unreal energy. They played all the classics and then pulled the "Darkness=>Landmines" bit out of 'One' by Metallica. The worst thing about the concert to me was the fact that I was the only person i seen not wearing black. All around me, balck hoodies, black jeans. Then there was me. Bright blue jeans, bright grey fleece and the to cap it all off, my blood red Hives shirt(The Hives Are Law/You are Crime). Alogether a very enjoyable experience. Next stop, Queens of the Stone Age followed by Foo Fighters. Oh Yeah!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why was looking different from the majority such a bone of contention with you? Does music have to dictate a certain fashion sense? I always thought that standing out was the mark of kewl, not blending in. Sorry, just playing devil's advocate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted October 18, 2002 funniest cover that i've seen is a local band (my friend band that is) called Farrel 5 which hardcore death metal band doing Alive by P.O.D. then after that they follow it up with Pantera Fucking Hostile.

Guest Mr. Adam Report post Posted October 18, 2002 Why was looking different from the majority such a bone of contention with you? Does music have to dictate a certain fashion sense? I always thought that standing out was the mark of kewl, not blending in. It wasn't really a bone of contention to me. What stood out to me wasn't the fact that I looked different, I have no problems with that. The big deal was the reaction I got from other people in the crowd. These were guys I recognised buying the same shirt as me at the same gig back in May, no less. On the subject of looking different though, I wore my Vivid Pictures t shirt into work one day. I work in a friggin newsagesnts/sweetshop for god's sake. Twas very funny seeing the range of people who knew what Vivid Pictures is. The only person that actually said it told me that he had seen it on an ECW DVD. Since when did twelve year olds buy DVD's huh? Korn..Playing Metallica? I LOVE IT~! And how.
