11.25.09 | Nice dude, I'm going to that show in Chicago on 12/6 at the metro. I imagine I'll be one of the oldest ones there too (although one of the guys I'm going with is 25) because I'm 24.
I don't find that I'm old for the crowd if I hit up a thrash show or even when I went to Lamb of God/As I Lay Dying/God Forbid/Children of Bodom earlier this year, but with ABR and Underoath it's pretty much guaranteed too be 18-19 year olds. |
Aids
11.25.09 | Fuck their shit up, you're probably like twice their size.
And I don't think Emery counts as emo. |
intothepit83
11.25.09 | i'm goin to see megadeth tonight, and i'm looking forward to it, but at the same time, i know that terrible, terrible excuse for a band suicide silence is opening and the kids will be out for that too. it's kinda sad.... and yes, emery is emo, even if they have a breakdown with, lol, "screaming" in it, that's emo |
theacademy
11.25.09 | you made a list "10 Signs You Are Scene" check that
|
KILL
11.25.09 | yea why the fuck is suicide fuckin silence touring with megadeth and slayer WTF |
intothepit83
11.25.09 | shit, slayer? i wish, it's okay though, i'm gettin to see megadeth and machine head together, that should be worth the money |
Exile
11.25.09 | Well I've seen ABR twice in my country (France) and I'm 19, and both times I got my ass kicked because most people at these shows were at least 25 and taller than me. I guess our scene is better (lololol typical french arrogance).
But yeah, it's weird.
The shows were fucking intense btw. |
intothepit83
11.25.09 | i went for underoath really. not a big fan of their newer stuff, which, of course, they played only that. still an excellent show, though. august burns red tore the place apart. but please, someone, tell me why underoath wont play any of their old stuff anymore? i understand it's two different vocalist, but that's like a stripper stroking my cock and not letting me finish |
Emim
11.25.09 | So, not only did you get your ass kicked, but it was by the French? Double shame.
And as long as it's good music, who cares how old you are?
|
myhigherpie
11.25.09 | emery doesn't really count as emo.
I'm willing to bet if you went to a real emo show you'd find a lot of people around your age. |
Exile
11.25.09 | Well I guess they don't play the old stuff anymore because they released these songs back in 1999. If I was in Underoath I don't know if I'd play the first songs I wrote after ten years of touring. |
Exile
11.25.09 | Emim, yeah, I know. Blahblahblah I should have brought a white flag to the show blahblahblah. That shit is getting old. |
intothepit83
11.25.09 | no, i agree, music is timeless. and yes, myhigherpie, if i went to a REAL emo show i'd bet i'd see people my age, but at the same time, unfortunately, emo doesn't have the same definition now as it did when i was 20 years old |
cvlts
11.25.09 | after coming to this site i dont know what genres bands are now lol |
IRAI
11.25.09 | 1,3,5,6,8,9, and 10 all rule.
i only like older Underoath, too, so id be disappointed as well.
ive seen em a couple times, but they played some changing of times stuff(angel below is my fav by them) when i saw em so i was happy. |
theacademy
11.25.09 | this aint a scene its a gosh darn arms race! |
Inveigh
11.25.09 | so, what you're saying is, I'm not gonna hear anything of The Changing of Times (the only Underoath I actually own)? That's too bad. Still, I've never seen ABR and I hear they tear shit up live.
And I'm just as confused as everyone else as to why Suicide Silence is touring w/ Megadeth. Weird...
Although, I saw Megadeth in 2001 on what was supposedly their last tour; and that was with Endo. So I guess weirder things have happened... |
Prophet178
11.25.09 | Emery is post hardcore through and through. |
atrink
11.25.09 | i'm seeing those guys december 5th in Milwaukee. and i'm actually more pumped to see emery then august burns red. i've seen both bands live and emery was way better.
but yeah i'm only 15 and all my friends that are going are around that age |
theacademy
11.25.09 | i saw slayer + priest + sabbath (along with every time I die + slipknot + lamb of god) when I was 16, and I thought it was the awesome young people at concerts is always a good thing this whole debate is really stupid |
VicariousIntent
11.25.09 | Putting myself in Underoath's shoes, I'd say they don't play old material because they feel they've progressed past it. I mean, look at how much they've changed. They're probably not happy with their old sound anymore. |
SlightlyEpic
11.25.09 | did someone already say something about 'emo' because I'm raging pretty hard right now |
Prophet178
11.25.09 | They said Emery is emo, you must be SlightlyRaged right now. |
Nikkolae
11.25.09 | "after coming to this site i dont know what genres bands are now lol"
thiss!
idk, i grew out of the scene pretty quickly and im only 22, so yeah, and its not that bad a thing to go to a show and being the older one, that way your like the wise cool "grandpa" lol |
Deviant.
11.25.09 | Who really cares if you happen to be the oldest one at a gig?
I go to a concert because they're a band/s that I wanna see, plus it's
showing my support to them.
Last thing i'm doing is scanning the room to work out age groups.
If you love the music then you love it and it's all that matters.
Unless you're trying to pick up girls from these gigs..... |
Emim
11.25.09 | "Emim, yeah, I know. Blahblahblah I should have brought a white flag to the show blahblahblah. That shit is getting old."
Wait, you didn't bring a flag, I thought those were standard issue? I just figured that was a given, my apologies... And no, it never gets old. |
Obfuscation24
05.13.11 | so i herd emery iz emo |
witchxrapist
05.13.11 | emery is the most popular emo band ever |
AnotherBrick
05.13.11 | everyone grows out of that scene at some age |
witchxrapist
05.13.11 | I got into that scene when I was like 11, I'm 22 now and I still love it.
It's honestly a matter of taste, and your age when exposed to a movement totally affects your level of appreciation. |
AnotherBrick
05.13.11 | i got into music when i was like 15 and even then i thought i was too old for it |
witchxrapist
05.13.11 | if you can't enjoy thursday and underoath you're a blatant try-harding faggot |
AnotherBrick
05.13.11 | oh witchappy how much i love you |
