L'Inconditionnel in Montreal has FOH? Last time I played there I got royally screwed because the sound was so horrible. They had one microhpone for the singer, and one extra, that they put on the bass drum out of all things. It was Café L'Inco and not Accueil L'Inco, so I hope it's a different room (same adress though).

Have fun though!

At Montréal, eat poutine at La Banquise on rue Rachel and a Smoked Meat at Schwartz's on St-Laurent. It's worth it.

Crap, I'm going to be in Florida when you're in MA. My brother and I are both old-school Victory HC fans, I would've loved to have gone to see the show and say HI.

Hope you have a good time here in the States!

It's all about old EC, Strife, and Snapcase! I heard old EC and Strife when I was ten or something ridiculous like that. I thought it was the heaviest thing ever!

Good luck with the FOH dude!

My man, I couldnt've put it better.

T-rex poutine for real men. If you don't know what poutine is, google it. It's awesome. T-rex poutine is basically fries with cheese curds and gravy, (regular poutine) with extra sausages, bacon and minced meat.

Smoked meat @ Schwartz = classic.

I try to make the best out of my somewhat rare visits to Montréal.

 

[Seizure.]

Fucking nice man! Absolutly jealous as fuck haha, damn nice tour.

Maybe Canada in August, and Us in Nov for me so i'll have to have a bit more patience!

 

[Djabthrash]

Awesome !

Saw Earth Crisis like 6 months ago, love that band and they put out an amazing gig ! They had a killer live sound also (esp. guitars !).

I'd love some details on how they get their guitar sound live. I think they used SM57 + AT something mic on a Marshall cab / Peavey 5150 rig when i saw them, with EMG loaded guitars. I guess their solid/chunky/aggressive playing (+killer riffs !) has a lot to do with their killer tone.

Club Sandwich at New System BBQ is pretty epic too.

I'll be in Europe otherwise I'd be at the Mass show. Good luck!!

Congrats dude. Have fun on the road.

Thanks, I did that tour too

I was using AE2500's on guitars, they're awesome! Also ofcourse the plaing and tone from the amps is already great but the AE2500's give a nice warm, defined tone without the fizz of a 57 IMO.

Yeah, they were using standard 1960 cab's that tour. In the states they have custom X cabs, curious about them!

The engineer for God Forbid was using AE2500s on guitars too when they came through my venue. Fuckin awesome guitar mics.

Thanks for the info ! I definitely dig the guitar sounds i've heard with ATXXXX mics (i remember Slipknot using them for studio and live also IIRR), and i don't like the 57 fizz either.

I attended the Hell On Earth Tour show last winter @Gibus in Paris, where you the FOH guy then ?
If so you did a killer job !

Yep, that was me. Thanks man, that was the most "interesting" place I had to mix them that tour, the only venue where I had to strip down to 16 channels. But yeah, it was a pretty cool show!

Ok haha. I think i asked you about the mics at some point during the show (unless it was the French FOH guy from the venue or something).

I'm gonna be in Florida during the Toronto gig too, bah! Would be killer to catch Earth Crisis!

 

[Moonlight_Seeker]

L'Accueil Inconditionnel doesn't sell booze cuz its some sort of AA place, if I'm not mistaking. And what the other said about sound. But the place is cheap to rent. Café L'Agitée in Quebec City, I played there, it was lovely. The chinese restaurant near sucks though hihi.

*would love to do a small venue tour in Europe*

 

[El_Gato]

sick, good luck with the tour!!

 

[KeithReyn]

Sweet, I live right outside Altoona, PA. I gotta find out where the place is. ive never heard of it.
