OMG I Was worried about the future of Metal in Victoria W/ The Demise of the mighty PARIAH..Abuse of Power where so amazing..All I can think of is Blackie Lawless W.A.S.P. .."Lookin' for, Lookin for, Jack Action..:p" .. in my drunken stupor...the show was jusr amazing... I was expecting some good "Punk" it was Unfreaking believable Metal.... In atttentdance was a Cornucopia of the Best Drummers,,,,With Lincoln...and in the crowd the "Aub'meister and D.M.D..FRONT ROW FREAKIN CENTRE....Amazing show! pics to follow when I get time,..and check out some exclusive photos in "Absolute Underground Issue Two"...Nice chatting to all you LIVEVICTORIA regs ar the show..See you on the 23'rd ! - Sat, 4 Dec 2004 2:22am

That show fuckin' ruled. Pariah kix the balls off anyone in this town. Dave's riffs kick the tutu off any other guitarist on the island. The show rocked hard all over the place, but what the hell was with the singer? What a douchebag. The rest of the band was a-fucking-mazing! Nice touch with the fire too. I can't wait to see what Near Dark comes out with.






Now suck my balls y'all! - Sat, 4 Dec 2004 11:22am

I want to thank everyone for the energy, and Intensity that I witnessed. I have met alot of extremely talented, and sincere people by being in Pariah. 99 % of those cool people were met at shows. From everyband played with, to every long talk to quick handshake. Now I just got to go to more shows!!

For What the future will bring.

Pariah slayed the house. Unfortunately all good things come to an end. Nice touch with pentagram on your melon there Dave. And there's nothing like turning up the heat & going out with a firey bang. Fire is good. I like fire. Explosions are good too... - Sat, 4 Dec 2004 4:40pm

For pretty much anyone else this Six String would seem a literal "abuse of power"...He pulls it off and is command of the instrument, one of the few times I have seen a Six String Bass that did not seem over sized. - Sun, 5 Dec 2004 8:20am

Saw the show. PARIAH ripped and fuckin kicked ass. Way tight! ABUSE of POWER!!!!!!!!!! Awesome, killer!

Here is the Low-lights about the show.

1. "Any Ex-Pariah singers in the house? Any Ex-Pariah singers?"

2. Abuse of Power frontmans get-up. gay!

3. Who the fuck was that clown right at the beginning of Abuse of Powers set. Right up front, clapping and stomping like he is some nashville red-neck. Then he grabs his girl, and they SLOW DANCE! FUCK - Mon, 6 Dec 2004 6:19am
