Bones / Superchrist - Reggies May 18th

[Diabolik]

Really? More people went and saw Macabre for the 4th time this year over Superchrist and Bones?

Macabre draw big. Even though they play like 4 times a year. Superchrist is a band who usually at best brings between 60 to 80 people to a show. I am sure there would have been another 40 people if the other show wasnt going on. Macabre do a good job of keeping each show different. My only issue with Macabre shows is that there is no pacing with songs...they play one...stop for a few minutes. Then intro the next....play song. Stop for a few minutes...intro the next song....it kills any kind of energy being built up live.

Macabre are a great band and a lot of fun to see live, but they play so damn much where Bones plays like once a year.

OFYAKUS opened, complete crap....they played WAYYYYYY TOOOO LOONNNGGGGG!!! They were terrible....they talked to much tough guy talk between songs and just kept on playing and playing. No one was having a good time.

When my bands do a headlining show and we bring in an opener we're not familiar with, I always make a point of telling them that if they play for longer than their set times allow, I'll light them on fire. Won't stand for that shit.

yeah I agree....the first slot should only be like 20 minutes...give a new band a shot and makes them move quick and no horsing around. This just killed me because I purposly came late to the show even hoping to miss them. I walked in missing like 4 songs and still caught 8 more.

this is the one thing about Chicago...never a lack of shows. Lot's of times there are a few shows happening at the same time. When Impaler played Red Line Tap they had to compete with Canibis Corpse and a few other local death metal acts at Cobra Lounge and something else at Ultra Lounge...thus having a crowd of 10 people there for Impaler. Whenever I mention that show people had no clue they were in town and pissed they missed it.
