nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2003 Scissorfight's not too bad ... not the best of the year, but they put on a decent show. And it's really cool how deep the Boston music scene's gotten again. It'll never be as good as it was in the early-to-mid 80's (e.g. Gang Green winning the RnR Rumble) but it's gotten really good again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 I want to see Shadows Fall, Dysentery, Killswitch Engage, and Beyond The 6th Seal kill whoever makes the decisions for the BMA's. Each year, Godsmack gets some award, and thus the rock stations suck Godsmack's cocks like the band is actually WORTH something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 There's no reason that Shadows Fall shouldn't have won the hard rock award. 'The art of balance' was MUCH better than the new Bosstones album, and that one for the best indie album. KsE should have been mentioned for either as well, as they're just as good as SF.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 Not to mention: Who the flying FUCK cares about The Bosstones anymore? Just wait, Stevie. In 5 years, when Shadows Fall is all over the radio with some ballad-like thrash tune (much as Metallica was with "One"), the BMA's will suck their dicks. And then, we the Shadows Fall faithful from the start will be like "fuck that noise" and be COMPLETELY elitist to the BMA's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
