Old School Metal Shows

Raven are a great live band. I saw them a few years back in Chicago and was blown away with thier energy. The downside is that they are not a draw.

Maybe not to a huge venue, but they sold out the bar we played in Raleigh past capacity so to me, that's a success!

Yes, but to be fair the average elevator has a higher maximum occupancy than the DIVEbar.

I hear the show was great though.

Yeah, but when the room is full, you don't notice. There's nothing like a full house to bring out the energy in a band, and Raven was kind of incredible to see on such an intimate level.

I unfortunately only was able to see the first 6-7 songs before I had to leave but per a friend:

(not in order)
Take Control
All for One
Mind of Metal
Break the Chain
Rock Until You Drop
Live at the Inferno
Faster Than the Speed of Light
some new ones
a cover medley

Probably a few more too.

For what it's worth, your band was the only opening band I both saw and enjoyed, and also the first time I've ever seen metal sung in a fanny pack.

Booking agent? D.I.Y. mofo!

Yeah who gives a fuck about people who invest their time and energy into providing a service and only asking in return to honor the social contract set between both parties!

edit: whoops, didn't realize how old this thread was lol.

Why are they called FANNY packs, when they are worn at the side of the waist???????
Would be cool if someone wore a fanny pack ON their fanny!!!!!
You could put funny sayings on them like "EXIT ONLY" or "WIDE LOAD"

Video evidence of John with the fanny pack! XD

"The name "fanny pack" is derived from the fact that they were traditionally worn facing the rear above the buttocks, for which "fanny" is a slang term in the United States. " - Wikipedia
