I woulda paid $18 for all this. Easy.sleyja wrote:Yeah. Those guys were pretty entertaining. My favorite part was when they were standing back to back in the pit. Haha.badcarburetor wrote:Man, we must have had the same vantage point, because that is the exact same shit I saw. Save for the dudes in the pisser together. I'd guess they were doing drugs of some sort or another. Semi -interestingly, there were at least three morbidly obese dudes at that show. Some midget looking dude seemed to be out of his skull on acid and the kid in the wheelchair was smoking fat cigars??Knucklehead wrote:That was one of the weirdest shows that I've been to in a long time.
There was an older guy there, big, with a cane. At some point, he and another guy went into the stall together in the men's room. I have *no* idea what they were trying to do. There was another older guy, looked like he was a gym teacher, who got progressively more drunk and violent. He was not making friends in the pit and ended up ripping some dude's shirt, then turning to me for absolution, which I could not give. There was a couple that was dry humping out on the main floor. There were a lot of country folk there, it seemed. Someone threw firecrackers during a song. (I was looking for Mark.) There were punks, in fights. One of them went over to the older guy with the cane and asked to borrow it, so that he could get even. And, after the show, one of the gym teacher's friends came randomly up to me and said, "Do you vant to zee zometing?" and pulled some sort of cloth out of his front pocket and held it up about ten inches from my face. I think it was one of Tom Hunting's gloves. "It is stinky" the German gym teacher's friend explained. (I assume that the gym teacher was German, as well.) WTF?!
But I got to hear "Piranha" and that made the night.
That gym teacher dude was awesome. For a bit we were sitting at the table next to him and his buddy who was obviously in love with him. I counted close to a case of Heinekens that the two of them had polished off. Gross. Who drinks Heineken without the Jeep beats kicking? I wouldn't have pegged them for Germans, more like suburban yahoos, but it's not too surprising. The funniest thing to me was how anytime the gym teacher started to bro down with some dude, his buddy lept on him and body pressed him against a wall. Jealousy can be such an ugly emotion...That shit about the stinky glove is amazing. He must be a HUGE Spinal Tap fan. And German.
Exodus was good, but I really do get bored with all the Dukes era material. I'd much rather hear a good percentage of the first four albums.
BbB was very good on the big stage. They came off very tight and very pro. Wish I had skipped the shitty dinner at the horrible Fuze Burger and had caught their whole set.
Malevolent Creation was a super pleasant surprise. I'd always just thought of them as third string FL DM and never really gave them the time of day. Now, I'm DLing all their shit so that I can figure out where to start buying. Suggestions?
The people watching at this show was top notch and has inspired me to make a few Public Service Announcements:
1. Bands - Please, never, ever say "Hotlanta." It's not cool now and never has been save for possibly a couple months at the height of the disco-era, approximately June-August 1976.
2. Old Dudes - Don't tuck your "extreme" metal shirt into your high waisted Dad jeans. It's really just embarressing for all of us.
3. Young Dudes - Skipping in the pit isn't moshing. It's skipping. Skipping hasn't been cool since you were in first grade and even then it was questionable. Watch some old videos and learn some moves then come school the rest of the suburban yahoos.
That is all.
I thought Exodus were okay. They got a bit boring after awhile. I wanted to hear more older stuff.
Bonded By Blood were they surprise of the night for me. I've only heard their first CD and thought it was just okay, nothin' special. They were really fun live and their performance was great. They also had the best sound of the night.
Sorry I missed Sadistic Ritual downstairs. I thought I was early, but by the time I got there they had played already.

Maybe we were stupid hicks, but we used to, back in the day, call that circle pit business moshing and the running into each other business slamming. IANAL.Generubin wrote:badcarburetor wrote: 3.

Don't forget the skank, the creepy crawl, the HB strut, picking up change, the lawn mower, the windmill, etc... I know it makes me sound like cranky ol' Grandma, but the pit used to be a place where people wanted to show off their style, not just skip to the loo.

It's just that the masqueerade kids open the pit up and just act like a bunch of idiots, and that fucking windmill bullshit sucks.
Are you talking about when kids just stop moshing all together just so they can crotch down and windmill?
If so that stuff's the gay.

so now headbanging is gay...? sorry that's just getting a little out of hand there. i like to have fun with my music and do what i like like everyone else. all this elitist stuff is bullshit. there's no right or wrong way to enjoy metal. i think the only wrong way is to sit on your ass in the back and not have any fun with itGenerubin wrote:TonyE99 wrote:
