That's gotta be freaking awesome. Lucky bastard.

I have to go into Allentown (not far by any means, but annoying because the venue sucks) all the time to catch major label bands.

Well this is a church with no stage and a mediocre PA, but it is ok. My old band used to play those shows a lot, and I couldn't stand the sound system.

No stage = awesome, mediocre PA = not so awesome.

That sucks. But hey, good music with a crappy sound system is better than no music at all.

True, I do prefer a stage though, not that I like to be above people or anything snobby, it just makes for a better show. I can see the audience better and vice versa.

I like playing shows in smaller venues. Getting a place with no stage packed with tons of kids is just so fun. Going to those shows is more fun too.

Like, I saw As Cities Burn locally at a venue with a stage when they were on tour with Underoath and Poison The Well, and then in the basement of a Church, headlining this past summer, and it was just so much better. There were probably only like 50 kids there, but it was such a personal show, everybody was so close to the band and eye to eye, and Cody was letting kids come up and scream TJ's parts in old songs.

tons of kids = awesome

And its more fun for the fans because you get to be RIGHT THERE with the band, not looking up at them.

I agree completely.

[QUOTE=illpressureurhinges1;15584852]And its more fun for the fans because you get to be RIGHT THERE with the band, not looking up at them.[/QUOTE]

true.

I went to show to see Destroy The Runner, and they were right there with the audience, and even though it was a tiny venue with almost no people, it was still probably the most fun I've ever had at a show.

Playing with a lot of kids and a bunch of them are dancing or moshing or whatever, is probably one of the coolest feelings, up there with having a kid. lol

Its fun being that kid dancing and moshing and screaming and just going crazy. Good stuff!

My church here has the best sound system in the city...too bad they don't exactly invite Christian rock bands often.

I like Underoath as well.
BlessTheFall is really good, too!

I enjoy Underoath, but the one BlessTheFall song that was on headbangers ball was meh.

blessthefall sucks arse

I haven't heard their whole cd, but yeah I probably wont cause that song from the video was pretty generic.

Were you really expecting something more than generic from the Headbanger's ball?

[QUOTE=guitrguy;15597060]Were you really expecting something more than generic from the Headbanger's ball?[/QUOTE]

good point.

BlessTheFall is not good. I listened to their cd, and yawned through every song.

Oh good, you saved me some time.

Blessthefall is decent, they're a fun listen every now and then.

you might want to get that checked out

What's there to get checked out? The songs were boring as hell. That explains the yawning.

Makes sense to me.

blessthefall arent really my thing, but theyre not as bad as some other bands. theres this other band Worthless Without that are kind of like them. im not a fan but some might like them

Never heard of them... But if they're like BlessTheFall, then they can't be that good.

BlessTheFall isn't that bad. They just sound good and are simple, they're fun to listen to in the same sense as Atreyu. :/

I'm not sure whether that was serious or sarcastic...

It was serious baby gurl. They're the type of bands that are disliked because they're "girly" and "poppy," and they're very sterile, but they're not that bad of songwriters.

I never said anything against them, I just know that lots of people don't like them, and I wasn't sure where exactly you stood. Now its clear!

I think he meant it like... one long yawn through the whole album. :p

who thinks War of Ages are one of the better christian bands? their last two albums are pretty solid

They're pretty good. I enjoy all their albums. I really want to see them live.

Haste the day anyone?

[QUOTE=encmetalhead;15601449]Haste the day anyone?[/QUOTE]

Horrible, horrible band.

[QUOTE=encmetalhead;15601449]Haste the day anyone?[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure you can guess by my name that I like them...

Haste The Day is pretty effin terrible.

How so? I think they are actually pretty good. They may not be the greatest band out there, but they are one of the first bands that got me into metalcore so maybe that's why I like them so much.
