Taste of shit. Im not one for mainstream music but i bought tickets anyway. Waste of time. The bands played ICE CUBE in between sets and the security was so tight that even with 4000 people you couldnt smoke a cigarette, nevermind ganja. Theyw ouldnt even let you out of the bloody building. We left early. - Sun, 27 Mar 2005 2:16pm

i suppose if you were really into the bands, it would have been great...or if the security wasnt so tight. - Sun, 27 Mar 2005 2:55pm

i saw tons of people smoking both 'ganja' and cigarettes. they let you outside to smoke in this little fenced off area. most of the bands were awesome. the only complaint i have is that the sound absolutely blew. other than that, it was awesome. - Sun, 27 Mar 2005 6:48pm

Nat, you must be crazy. One of my only complaints was the amount of smoke in the place, being a non-smoker, the mix of that and sweat in the mosh pit was pretty bad. It was crazy fun, the bands all did well. I just wish Idiot Pilot didn't play first so I didn't miss a good deal of their set (Had to get tickets from scalpers for my friend). The show overall was wicked I thought, my first actual "concert" that was more than 200 people... Can't wait until Warped Tour and Sounds of the Underground this summer, need to start saving up. - Sun, 27 Mar 2005 6:53pm

But none of them are really mainstream either. Like when's the last time you heard Terror or FATA on the radio? Who cares what the show's called, it looks rad :P.
P.S. Nik, when's Mito playing next? I haven't been able to check you guys out since I've been back. - Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:57pm

oh shit who knows. hopefully really soon though, we are in the middle of exam season/and recording our cd so shows have been pretty sparse.

I don't know if any of you care or not, but the drummer (Scott Gottlieb) from Bleed the Dream died of cancer on Sunday. While waiting for a bone marrow transplant (and appearing to be getting better) he got an infection that attacked his lungs and then the rest of his organs. He even dragged himself out of his hospital bed when he was really sick and recorded all the drum tracks for their new album 'Built by Blood'. They had a replacement drummer on the Taste of Chaos tour and they dedicated every set to him. It's pretty sad :( - Tue, 12 Apr 2005 3:19pm

i heard about that on their site. its so sad. they were really nice guys too if you had the chance to talk to them, i cant even imagine how much that must hurt for them. it was amazing of him to record for the new album while his death was so close. ugh. so sad. he was so young too. - Thu, 14 Apr 2005 1:34am
