[QUOTE=Scabies]Ii'm going to the london motorhead show on saturday. did you actually hear any of class of zero? what are they like?[/QUOTE]

i didnt hear them, but some of my friends said there nu-metally

I saw Ignite, Taking Sides and Strength Within last Thursday Strength Within were great Taking Sides sucked and Ignite blow the roof off, they did a great cover of Sunday Bloody Sunday and i copped an elbow under the chin from a random then a fist to the side of the face the guy said sorry so i gave him the thumbs up.

sepultura and motorhead, last night, london.

seplutura ruled when they played the old thrash stuff, and were meh when they played all the ghey newer slow stuff. it was a pretty lame pit too, considering there was about 5 nazi skinheads and loads of beefy metallers in there. or maybe its because i rule.

motorhead came on and every song sound the same (amazing) the only bad point was when they came back for the encore, they did an acoustic song instead of going into over kill or something :s
and they didnt do bomber or motorhead either :(
still great though.

didnt gene simmons supprt as well? :lol:

there was some gene simmons kiddie rock school thing on as the first act, didnt see them though. i dont think gene was there either, id love to chuck a full pint in his face :)

Suicide Machines at the Garage, London (saturday)

Sonic Boom Six- never heard of this band before, but they were pretty good, especially for the first band on. They were a sort of ska/punk/rap mix, and played with good style and energy
7/10

Howard's Alias- local third wave ska-punk band, who are fairly well known despite only having a couple of decent songs. Their set was spoiled slightly by sound problems, and the guitarist snapped a string in the first song. And when they did sort the problems out the singer was determined to try and get the audience to sing every song for him. But their one very good song called Rob Wants You Dead gets them a few marks back.
5/10

Jesse James- Pretty popular yet awful ska-punk band. Few good songs, but to their credit they gave it their best shot on stage, and made every 6 year old in the place wobble around slightly, trying to skank.

Suicide Machines- Played very well, and fast. Lots of excellent songs including No Face and SOS which were their best, and they really got into it. Lots of action, stage diving and a big pit. They finishshed with a stage invasion, that left a bouncer trying to throw people off the stage and failing miserably. The singer was an excellent front man, and they put on a great show.
9/10

The Oppressed + Naughty
Clwb ib vor Bach (Cardiff)
First gig ive ever been to on my own, so I was a bit bored at the 2 hour DJ set, slowly gettin drunk and singing to myself. The first band Naughty came on then, I never heard them, but they were average female fronted 77 punk band. Nothing Special.
The venue was very small and there were only about 100 people there max, i think I was the youngest person there by about 15 years. The Oppressed came on and for a first gig in 8 years they were great, they didnt play Fu(k Facism though, but there cover of Skinhead Girl was great. I also spoke to Roddy and he seemed like a very cool dude, but I think i was blabbing crap so he was prob jsut humouring me. The pit was very small and fun, about 3 of us skanking and the older dudes kept shouting 'I still got it!' Roddys voice was great and you could tell he ment every word he shouted. This was well worth a fiver.

F[U]u[/U]ck that sounds like a good gig.

12-21-04 Hamilton St. Cafe, NJ - Casey Jones/Kids Like Us
 

Opening Band 1 - Some crappy band with the same breakdown for every song.

Opening Band 2 - I think they were with FSU, nice heavy sound but a little generic. Good if you don't mind generic stuff. Pretty tight band though.

Shot Point Blank - I think that's these guy's name. Awesome awesome hardcore band from Australia. I wish I got a CD of theirs or something, so good. People were going off for this band.

This Means Everything - 14-15 yr olds that play hardcore, the singer (we call this kid mini-mosh) sounds like he could sing for Shattered Realm. Not the best band, but good for their age. Ten Yard Fight cover.

Kids Like Us - Set of the night. Played awesome, so many kids singing along. I'm amazied as to where these kids came from, never seen them before or at the last KLU show.

Casey Jones - Solid set, a little short thought, but then again they're whole discography is under like 20 minutes. Their new guitarist is really ugly. Sorry, just had to share that. Fat Pat (of NLTM and FSU) was heckling CJ their whole set, but all in good fun. People were chanting for them to cover Firestorm, but that didn't happen. I wish they played more.

fast times + twin city faction @ missing link records (free instore)
fast times were on first in support of the cd they were releasing, awesome punk/hardcore blend...i had been skating with the guys
twin city faction were down from sydney and were similar to fast times, they were also very good...the singer was moving through the whole store as he sang and was totally into what he was doing, every member of this band sang at some stage

Charged GBH+Drongos for Europe+Billy Club
Brum Academy

Quite Intimate gig. Billy Club was on first, they sounded like a bit more Punkish version of Pantera to me, I werent fussed on em.
Drongos were Good, Big reception cuase they were Home Town Heroes. Most of the crowd went nuts for them.
GBH blew everyone away. They played all there hits and were fast as f*ck, they also covered White Riot! I managed to rob the mic of Colin twice, the first in No Survivors then again in Alcohol. Great gig for an old band.

last night it was my friend's 18th party and she got a load of friends bands to play

[B][U]Weapons Of Brass Destruction w/ 4 Days Later + Roughdawn[/U][/B]

first up were 4 days later... not bad but they covered franz ferdinand songs and didn't have a bassist so weren't really my cup of tea

next was Roughdawn, my friend's band. i'm not really into their sort of music (slightly punky grunge) but they put on a good set, pretty energetic

and last up were WEAPONS! this band have NEVER dissappointed me, and what made this set even better was that it was just a friends band playing to a load of people who all knew each other and just wanted to dance and sing along. their wasn't really a stage so the whole thing was basically crowd participated: rob their singer gave 4 of us his mic for a song, i played bass for a song, everyone was just singing along and having a good time it was awesome.

[QUOTE=veganpma]rad band.[/QUOTE]

yeah I have their CD, is there a pretty good sized hardcore scene in norway?

1-5-05 Bloomfield Ave Cafe - Champion/100 Demons/Outbreak
 

As Good As Dead - Mini side project of Joey Southside form The Banner to goof around in. Not good, but didn't expect them to be with members being sick and never practicing.

Cannonball/Little Rascals - This bad Punk/Hardcore band. Tried to cover Pantera. Bad. Split a set with Little Rascals, even worse hardcore band.

The Breakout - These guys couldn't play, guiatrist and drummer didn't show. I was going to help fill in, but it didn't end up happening.

Down to Nothing - Solid set, solid band. The only thing I dislike was that alot fo their songs sounded alike.

Outbreak - Played really well live, but like DtN a lot of their songs sounded alike. Awesome sing alongs for them. Covered Bad Brains.

100 Demons - They might be a good band live, but I wouldn't know. To busy fearing for my life. Fight broke out, some did got his a[size=2]s[/size]s handed to him, then stomped in the stomach and beaten down some stairs into the basement. FSU broke up the fight. Even though some of these guys are nice, I hate having to fear for my life during a band. Members of Shattered Realm and Blacklisted were in attendance to the show.

Champion - Set of the night, Gold is the only way to describe it. So much fun, awesome dancing. I love posi bands, more than tough guy bands. Covered what I believe to be was Chain of Strength.

F'ucking awsome i only dance when posi bands are playing,im not strong. Champion is coming here in march should be good.

[QUOTE=Sk8SkaNJ]xOne Wayx - Best band ever. Opened and closed with the same song (GENERIC HARDCORE SONG TWICE IN ONE SET) Covered 7 Seconds - Young Till I Die.

Scream Hello! - Awesome Pop-Punk/Indie band, played alot better than the last time I saw them. I wish they played their 7 Seconds covers.

I skipped some crappy band to buy the Casey Jones split with Traitor.

Marathon - Awesome, awesome band. Lead singer was very....well crazy like he was on meth. New tunes sound awesome.

Crime in Stereo - A lot better than last time I saw them, they gained a fan base since then too.

Ensign - Gorrila Biscuits cover, good set list. Played more off of Direction of Things to Come than I expected. Dove on top of people during Never Give In[/QUOTE]


I searched "Generic Hardcore Song" and found this thread. Fate keeps drawing me to this board.

Hahaha.

Lars Fredericksen and The Bastards
Leicster Charlotte


Wow! This may have been the best gig I have ever been too. The Charlotte is quite a small place and the club was packed. The first band was called Deadline, a female fronted standard Oi-Punk band, there were oaky. The next band was Mad Sin, a pyschobilly band with mad hair. Im not a fan of Physcobilly and they did nothin to change that. The opening riff of SPD kicked in and the best set I have ever seen started. It was hot as hell in there and floor was packed tight but that didnt stop some good pits happening. I heard reports that Lars was arrongant onstage but I found him witty and he even dedicated the last song (SKUNX) to Dimebag Darell. All the fave songs were played and even Ross from GBH was in the audience. A truly amazing gig, and its nice to see Lars got rid of his stupid ginger beard.

i think lars is pretending to be lemmy's son

He does think he's some sort of biker now

he did used to be friends with loads of hells angels when he was a kid, so maybe he has an excuse.

Febuary 1st Starland Ballroom, NJ - With Honor/Madball/Agnostic Front
 

Bill Killmen - This band was lame. Every song was 90% the same chord and had the same breakdown.

Flat Earth Society - I love this band. Covered Cromags. Diggin the new tunes. Check them out.

With Honor - Best set ever. Played every song I wanted to hear. Played the EP, some songs off the full length and then 1 track off the split. Their first set in NJ that wasn't cut short do to fighting. I wish there weren't any barriers at this venue.

Madball - Played really well. I just watched formt he back since I'm not the biggest Madball fan.

Agnostic Front - I only know the new CD, they played some songs off of it. Some members of Hell's Angels were there.


No fights at all at this show, which is a good thing. The downside was I locked my keys in my car. That was [size=2]f[/size]ucking lame.

Sounds like a good show, I can't wait to see With Honor. The venue that the Bane/CBK/WH show is coming to is small and doesnt have barricades, so it should be a lot of fun.

I Can't Wait for the Ska Fest.

Yeah I'm going to that show on the 5th of March.
It's gonna be at this Church/Venue
And the stage is like...3 ft high.
Ideal for stage dives and pile ons
There will probably be a fight though...
*sigh*

Mine is on March 7th, also at a church. Your lucky though, it's on a saturday there, the one here isn't until 7 30 on a monday.

**** i wanted to go to that show, god ****it i hate being grounded. I'm putting all my energy into seeing ska is dead now that both social d shows are sold out

This is a late entry

The Dead Walk - Awesome Newcastle hardcore, they did a YOT cover, check them out
[url]http://www.mp3.com.au/THEDEADWALK/[/url]

Hitlist - My favorite Aus HC band, there first time Sydney ****ing awesome, i wish i could find some mp3s for you all, they did a Madball cover

Last Nerve - I'm not much of a fan, they have a pretty good following though so the crowd was going nuts also the drummer from Terror ran out and did a verse with them that guy was incerdible, they did a Judge cover.

Terror - AWESOME! they were playing Young Buck's album before they came out and ripped straight into One With The Underdogs, Scott was a little angry that there was a fence up so he tryed getting us to push it down, we were to weak. Plenty of stage dives over it though lots of kids hitting the floor hard, they turned the power off during Better Of Without You so the guitar player had some friendly words to the guy and they quickly turned it back on. They did no covers.

Madball/ShotPointBlank/Taking Sides on the 20th.

Shotpointblank rule.

I think I'll do a big post when I go to the bamboozle or skate and surf
