Guest The Decadent Slacker Report post Posted August 27, 2004 No Moon either, but still, they worked their asses off. Put over the new bandmembers, made it seem special. They weren't as good as the original lineup (of course. Almost not band is), but they were great, & had fun doing it. Not much more i can ask for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 I went to Ozzfest yesterday in Camden, NJ. Slayer was AMAZING. I was in the pit, 4th row. My friend sold me an extra ticket for $35. Lawn. So we snuck down to the barriers behind the pit, hopped them (twice, mind you, after visiting the bathroom following Slayer) and had a great time. Saw the main stage acts. Nothing on the side stage really interested me, but I would like to have seen/partaked in the "Wall of Death" that...forget their name...does. Can't wait for next year!

I was there too doing photography for the second and main stage. Lacuna Coil and God Forbid were the highlights of the second stage for me. Superjoint, Wylde, and Dimmu were just kind of "there" for me, mostly because I wasn't familiar with much of their music, and I hate metal shows in big venues. Slayer were great, though, and I can't wait for the Jager show they're doing in November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 And now that I remember, Bam Margera, Raeknown (or whatever the name of the guy with the huge hair and goatee is), and Bam's girlfriend were in the back watching Slayer's set. The front row of the main stage noticed him, and were screaming at him to come out, but he smartly (seeing as how he'd get "heat" for doing it) just smiled and toasted to the crowd.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 Alice Cooper, September 22nd at the State Theater, Portland, Maine Ben Folds, September 30th, at the Colby College gym, Waterville, Maine. (I'm surprised Ben Folds is playing somewhere up in the boonies. Even thought, it's a college town I've never heard of a national touring band playing there) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I'm surprised Ben Folds is playing somewhere up in the boonies. Even thought, it's a college town I've never heard of a national touring band playing there) For Bens Folds, the reason they're playing there is, quite simply, because they're paid to. When bands tour venues, they get paid partly based on ticket sales. When they play colleges, the actual college/organization pays them "x" amount of money to show up.

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 hey Placebo Effect? Ben Folds is a HE, not a THEY. The bands been long seperated. No more "Five". He's played at my school of 12,000...honestly, he'd assured to be a big stoner, so perhaps the laid back atmospheres call to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure he likes the laidback atmosphere, but the money is a big draw too. Lostprophets, Hoobastank, and ImaRobot, for example, did a tour of exclusively colleges and were able to pull somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000 per show no matter how many people showed up.

Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 September appears to be an incredibly shitty month for shows Soulfly and Ill Nino is skippable, Tantric/12 Stones is super meh, I don't like Flogging Molly, and I don't know if I want to go up to NY to see In Flames when they'll be back a year from now. October, though, is awesome, with Type O Negative, GWAR, KMFDM, the Nintendo Fusion Tour, and I believe the Dope/Motograter show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
