uh 14 in a month is still huge

ffs ive been to like 4 shows eevr

I have two in december, darkest hour, misery signals and between the buried and me.
Then maiden on the 22nd.

nice i wouldnt mind seeing DH and Misery Signals.

They're playing in Yeovil, it's ridiculous.
Yeovil followed by London, you know it.

Last night I saw Death Cab For Cutie and Ted Leo And The Pharmacists. It was one of the best shows I've ever been too.

[B]Ted Leo And The Pharmacists[/B]
So amazing. They played for about 40 minutes, but it seemed like no time at all.

The only disappointing part about their set was that half of the auditorium was empty when they played, and even at that, most people seemed to have no idea who they were. For a 2500+ person show, I thought they got a really poor response from the crowd.

Either way, they were still awesome.


[B]Death Cab For Cutie[/B]
Death Cab was great as well. They played for about an hour and a half, and played pretty much everything I wanted to hear.

"I Will Follow You Into The Dark" was pretty much the best 3 minutes in recent memory.

Also, toward the end of the set, a second drumset was set-up, and played by Ben. The band just jammed with two drumsets, one guitar, and a bass for a good 15 minutes. It was really cool.

Overall, amazing night.

:D

That sounds like an awesome show.

I have never been so jealous of you Brian.

Less Than Jake + Dropkick Murphys in a week and a half; woo.

So, yesterday I saw Hellogoodbye, Reggie And The Full Effect, Cute Is What We Aim For, and Dave Melillo... twice.

Since Cute is so big around here, and Hellogoodbye is becoming quite popular, they played two shows at the club I "work" at.


[B]Dave Melillo[/B]
Seeing as he only has an EP, Dave Melillo played the same exact set both times. He was really good both times, though.


[B]Cute Is What We Aim For[/B]
These guys played the same set both times as well. The only difference between the two sets was that the first song they played in the early show was the third song they played in the late one. As far as I could tell, that was the only difference in the two sets.

Although I feel that they are way too caught up in their "fame", I do like some of their music, so it was alright.

Also, during their first set, the barricade broke, and they had to take a ten minute break. Lame.

[B]Reggie And The Full Effect[/B]
As a result of the barricade breaking during Cute's set, Reggie's first set got cut short. Also, the keyboard wasn't working, so they couldn't play much of a variety of songs. They were still awesome though.

The second RATFE set went much smoother. They got to play the full time, and the keyboard was working, so they played a lot of songs they didn't play earlier. They even covered "Reign In Blood" by Slayer. \m/

Overall, I'd say Reggie was the best performer of the day. Their music is great, and James (lead singer) is one of the funniest guys around. It's too bad not many people appreciated them. :-\

[B]Hellogoodbye[/B]
Their first set was solid, but I was disappointed that they didn't play "Touchdown Turnaround". Luckily, they said they would be playing a whole different set at the late show.

As promised, Hellogoodbye mixed it up a lot for their second set. They played some "essential" songs at both shows ("Dear Jamie", "Shimmy Shimmy...", etc.), but overall, the sets were quite different.

For the encore of the second set, they played "Touchdown Turnaround", which was cool, followed by one of the most awesome covers I've ever seen...

"Fight For Your Right", by the Beastie Boys!

It was amazing. Both shows ended up being a lot of fun.


:cool:

i saw down to nothing, blacklisted, rise and fall, deal with it and some other band.
they all ruled. especially dtn. best bit was when they played 3 minor threat songs in a row.

Melbourne Taste Of Chaos was like 3 weeks ago. Was pretty rad. Only bad part was I missed 3 bands just so I could meet Underoath. Was worth it. They played an awesome set too; In Regards To Myself, Its Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door, A Boy Brushed Red... Living In Black And White, Young And Aspiring, Writing On The Walls, Everyone Looks So Good From Here.. I think that was it. I really wanted to hear Reinventing Your Exit but meh.

Depends how much time they have because every time I have seen them they've been headlining. Both times I've seen them from TAYF they played, You Know How I Do, Bike Scene, Cute Without The E, Great Romances of the 20th Century, they played Ghost Man On Third one time, Timberwolves At New Jersey, and You're So Last Summer. I'm sure they will not play that many though. Prolly like three or four of those.

there headlining so i guess they will get between 40mins and an hour. where is theres no i in team on that list. thats one of their best songs. but i would probably settle for it guess. they dont write great song slike they used to.

It's always bummed me out that they've never played that song when I've gone to see them but they haven't.

[U][CENTER][B]Taste of Chaos - Manchester, UK[/B][/CENTER][/U]

[B]Saosin[/B]
Ive never really liked sound, they sound generic and repetitive and this did little to change my mind. there wasnt much crowd reception for them but thats understandle seen as it was full of kids. I dont listen to them so cant comment on song choice. they played the song i know well, "seven years" but for some reason Cobe cant scream live and neither can anyone else in the band. So they just left out all screaming. This seemed pretty stupid to me but whatever.
5/10

[B]Senses Fail[/B]
All the horror stories of buddy's awful vocals didnt seem to be true on the evidence of this performance. hes much improved since the last time i saw them and even though they only played "rum is for drinking" of their first album ill let that slide seen as they only had a thirty minute set and there coming back to the uk in february. they had plenty of energy and buddy has good stage precense. they did well of almost no crowd reception.
7/10

[B]Underoath[/B]
They weren't especially bad but at the same weren't very good. the absense of reinventing your exit annoyed a lot of people who paid to see them. regardless of whether they like the song it would of made alot of people happy if they had just played it. otherwise they played a lot of new stuff and nothing pre-chasing safety. Devoting songs to jesus is not at all my style and was met with complete silence by the uk crowd.
6/10

[B]Alexsionfire[/B]
Best band of the night by some way. but it was far from a classic performance. the problem with taste of chaos is that band sdont get very long to play their songs, which will always leave people unhappy at the setlist. still they played accidents, 44 calibre love letter, waterwings and this could be anywhere. i wish they had played some more of the first two albums but they had a thirty minute set and are back in february so ill see them again then. Dallas' voice was a little quiet but their singer seems quite a good entertainter onstage which surprised me.
8/10

[B]Anti-Flag[/B]
Having heard Anti-Flag previously and knowing its not my thing, i made the executive decision to go to the fish and chip shop down the road instead of watching them.

[B]Taking Back Sunday[/B]
Firstly Fred couldnt make it tonight for "family reasons" and while this is understandable it meant that i had paid £20 for half an hour of Alexis and a thrown together TBS performance, with no chance of a refund. Aside from that they played mostly new material with Vocalists from Underoath and Saosin and guitarist from Anti-flag and Saosin filling in. We got a just like heaven cover which was cool but it seemed i was the only guy there who'd ever heard the song before. They only played So Last Summer, CUte without the E and Decade Under the Influence from their back catalogue as well as coming on ten minutes late and not making up for it later. i know they had their reasons but it doesnt stop me being annoyed at the sub-par performance we got. Vocal wise the fill in s sounded almost exactly like Fred so no complaints there.
5/10

I'm seeing the ToC tour at Brixton tonight.

Over the last two nights, I've seen Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Necrophagist, Unmerciful, Rise Against, Thursday, Circa Survive, and Billy Talent.

10/16 - Cannibal Corpse, etc.

[B]Unmerciful[/B] opened the show to a fairly empty room. I found this kind of funny, because the show was moved because it was "too big" for it's original venue.

Anyway, these guys were alright. They seemed to be pretty typical death metal, but that didn't bother me too much, as I don't listen to that much death metal. I found myself becoming a bit bored during their last couple songs though.

[B]Necrophagist[/B] was the band I was most excited to see, and they did not disappoint. They're an incredibly talented band, and they did not skip a beat live. They were AMAZING.

The third band, [B]Dying Fetus[/B], had a bit of a different sound. I have one of their albums, but only listened to it once before the show, so I really didn't know what to expect. They were alright, but like Unmerciful, they became boring after a while.

By the time [B]Cannibal Corpse[/B] came on, the room was pretty well filled. From what I heard, there ended up being about 650 people at the show.

Cannibal Corpse was quite good, and played a long set. I found myself zoning out a bit, but it was more because I was than anything else.

Overall, it was a solid show. Necrophagist blew me away.

PS - I'm glad I wasn't in the pit during CC, because, from what I heard, there was a naked dude moshing. I didn't see it, but I was really far away.



11/17 - Rise Against, etc.

Although I don't like [B]Billy Talent[/B] much, I enjoyed them live. They had a lot of energy, and really got the crowd pumped up. They played my the two songs I really like by them too, so that was cool.

As with Billy Talent, [B]Circa Survive[/B] doesn't do much for me. I've seen them a couple times, and I always find them boring. They have a couple songs I really like though, and they always play them, so that's cool. Last night was a typical Circa Survive set.

[B]Thursday[/B] was really good. Although I was kind of annoyed with the crowd (a lot of 'haters'), I thought Thursday was great. They had an awesome set list, and they played for a decent amount of time (they co-headlined).

The only disappointing part was that they didn't play "Standing On The Edge Of Summer".

By the time [B]Rise Against[/B] came on, some people had left, but not as many as I might have expected. I was shocked to find that Rise Against was so popular, even though anything 'hardcore' seems to be written off by the mainstream.

However, at the end of their hit-single "Swing Life Away", a good 200+ people left, even though they still had 4 songs left. This pretty much proved to me that most of the people there had no idea what hardcore was, and only knew Rise Against from their one, mellow, MTV hit.

Anyway, Rise Against was amazing. Even though no one knew any of their old stuff, they still put on one hell of a show. They played an awesome mix of old and new music, and they covered "Ohio" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young.

For their last song, "Ready To Fall", they brought out the lead singer from Buffalo-native Snapcase. There were maybe 50 people in the crowd who had any idea who Snapcase was, but that was no surprise, becuase whay would anyone at a 'hardcore' show in Buffalo know one of the key bands in Buffalo hardcore history. :rolleyes:

Anyway, show ruled. Thursday and Rise Against were incredible.

good reviews. rep for it! not that it matters cause your a mod.

thursday are supporting my chem over hear. which is so wrong, im not paying £25 to see them play for half an hour thouhg. hopefully they will play some solo shows

Whens that?

some time next year go look on ticketmaster for my chemical romance or something

[B]Panic! At The Disco, Jack's Mannequin, Plain White T's[/B]

Dropped $80 for a pair of tickets in the upper deck for me and my girlfriend.

[B]Plain White T's[/B]

Filled in for Bloc Party because their drummer broke his leg or something. They weren't really impressive. I didn't even catch their name until about 5 songs in but I was thinking the whole time, "this sounds like typical generic pop-punk." "Hey There Deliah" was pretty good though.

[B]6/10[/B]

[B]Jack's Mannequin[/B]

They were great. I never got around to buying their CD but I am definitely going to get it now. The only songs I recognized were "Mixtape" and "The Rescue" but they ended with "We Were Made For Each Other" which was awesome. Andrew is incredible live and he went wild for the last song, jumping on the piano and filming the crowd doing the wave. The only thing I thought was that I didn't really see that much of a difference between them and SoCo. I mean JM seemed more piano driven I guess and more rock based, but I don't see why Andrew doesn't focus on SoCo.

[B]8/10[/B]

[B]Panic! At The Disco[/B]

They did this neat little circus concept and started with actor's playing all the people from the cover of their CD out onstage dancing around. The whole set (they played the CD in order which I thought was lame but I guess it was to support the "concept") was filled with incredibly flexible dancers and other actors that acted on the song concepts. The band played very well, Brandon hit all the notes (plus some extra high crazy ones) and played piano. The whole band game out and did this drum off kind of thing with a marching band. At one point they played a video on the screen of some circus freaks. I think Ryan and Brandon kissed at one point too which made the crowd go wild (the crowd of course was 90% teenage girls). But the band played very tight and put on a hell of a show. They played a new song where Brandon played guitar too and they covered "Elanor Rigby" by The Beatles which was fantastic.

Nooo it's the right thread cus I was talking about shows I'd been to....ish :p

What days you in London? There's an amazing club 11-3 Tuesday night at the Borderline (Tottenham Court Rd tube), it's monthly and it's punk/ska/swing/all sorts of awesome. £3 entry I think, all drinks £2

and on Wednesday there's always NASIN at Camden Underworld which I'm addicted to. 11-2, punk/ska/hardcore/metal. £2 a pint of beer/snakebite or £2.50 a JD + coke. that's £2 entry.

If you came to NASIN you could meet me. Tempting, eh?

Sucks that The Square (squatted social centre) got evicted earlier this year, as it was right on Russell Square so woulda been right near to you. And there woulda been some amazing benefit gigs or parties on when you stayed.

I know they're planning to open up another social centre in Bloomsbury but it hasn't been done yet.......
