- there were also supposed to be Nocturnal Mortum, but fucking germans said that they don't want to see a NS band there and kicked them out.

 

[Zephyrus]

Samael.

I hear they have an amazing live show. Lucky!

 

[Belligerent]

Enslaved

I seen them last Halloween. Fantastic show.

Since a road trip to Montreal seems very unlikely, I think I'll bite the bullet and see Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth and Keep of Kalessin when they play Day 2 of the New England Metal Fest in Worcester. I've sat through all the crap before and was duly rewarded, and this time I'll have a small group of friends to hang with, whereas last year I went alone. I've got a friend or two up here going and at least two more down in Mass.

You should roadtrip to Toronto bro

 

[Zephyrus]

You should roadtrip to Toronto bro

After I will have just been there less than a month ago. How about you road-trip East?

 

[cookiecutter]

I don't have a car

Yo, I'll be there. It's a solid venue. Little small, though.

Paying to see a live band is better money than buying a cd.

 

[Rumpole]

5. People shouting ruin the audio quality of the song and sometimes there are no rules against it.

Oh man, this made me laugh so hard.

I saw Budgie last night. Shit support bands (duh) but Budgie were devastatingly heavy. It was weird going to a gig where at least 75% of the audience had to be over 50.

Funniest part of the night was when the first band was on, and the venue was virtually empty, there was this tiny little guy in his forties with a pony tail and a denim cut off with this really shit Kiss back patch right up at the front of the stage doing air drums and weak guitar windmills. It was hilarious watching him rock out to this really lame groove/BLS style band.

 

[Satanstoenail]

How so? Sure, it is a thrill to go to a concert but after it, what do you have to go on for songs except for memory? Buying the CD instead og paying money for a concert gives you that experience somewhat more permanently.

Or, here's a wacky idea, you could go to the concert and enjoy the memory of it every time you listen to the album. Crazy I know.

7. Sometimes you do not know what songs the band is going to play until after you attend the concert and paid money for it, meaning it is possible to pay for a concert and have the band do nothing but play the very songs you hate.

And therefore it is much safer to sit at home on the internet and dismiss the idea of going to a show because it might not live up to your ridiculously high expectations, and you might have to deal with *gasp* other people.

 

[Zephyrus]

Yo, I'll be there. It's a solid venue. Little small, though.

I've been to the Palladium many times. It's a little crappy, but it's homely.

 

[Satanstoenail]

No, memory is a crappy thing to rely on, CDs are more permanent and if I am going to permanently lose money on something then I want something permanent in exchange.

Other people being around make the whole thing a waste of money. They essentially brind down the value of me paying for the whole thing. I will go to a concert if and only if someone else is paying for it.

Ok great. Have fun sitting in your loungeroom counting your pennies for the rest of your life.

Homely means ugly

 

[False Joe]

Homely means ugly

So she wasn't paying me a compliment?

No, memory is a crappy thing to rely on, CDs are more permanent and if I am going to permanently lose money on something then I want something permanent in exchange.

You're a penis.

Are you sure the reason you're not going is because you have no friends?

"Wanna go to the cinema"
"No. I'm not wasting money on something I'll only remember by memory, and have to deal with other people. That sucks man. I want something permanent. I'll just wait for the DVD"

 

[Ender Rises]

He meant memory as in the memory of a computer.

You still pwned him though.

 

[Zephyrus]

Homely means ugly

The Palladium is a dump, but it will always be dear to me as my first metal venue, and so far my most frequented. Same can be said for yourself I believe.

 

[cookiecutter]

I like the place too, I just think you misused the word homely

 

[Zephyrus]

It only means ugly in the context of a person.
