| The Wolf User Info... | Nice to see the Victoria Contingent over here ! The show was WELL ORGANIZED ... with SET TIMES posted all over and the coolest ever Drum Risers on wheels...Could just roll the kit out and changeover, no cruddy 40 minute waits...5-10 max between bands... Most bands played 25 Minute sets... A Couple of bands sucked but most were pretty awesome My Faves STRAPPING YOUNG LAD Bassist from Devil Driver filled in for Byron Scott....Devin said he was shooting a Gay Porno ooops that was last week, He's filling in on the Enuff Z Enuff tour :s DEVIL DRIVER Awesome just a ripping sound...I am getting the album next pay day OPETH What can I say...just great , even better announcing "Damnation" as a little bit different album than the others...LOL...Major different I used to think that one sucked now seeing it live I have a new respect for it.Played some new stuff from the NEW ALBUM AUGUST 31st TERROR an awesome band...just great..goes for the Jugular GWAR I am still dyed Green Red Pink ...lol...Need ski goggles to repel the "Blood" LAMERS Norma Jean-Worst name ever and a emo band to boot :S CLUTCH- Like a hard rock Hootie and the Blowfish/Dave Matthews Band....Had an inkling when someone we were shooting the shit with said "Look at the people wearing CLUTCH shirts....The Band sucks if thats there fans!" LOL - Tue, 26 Jul 2005 9:11pm | ||
| The Wolf User Info... | It was cool seeing Gene Hoglan filling in for the Opeth drummer.. and Devy up in the stands checking out Gwar and Opeth FUN TIMES - Tue, 26 Jul 2005 9:24pm | ||
| mo User Info... | FUCK YEAH!!!!!! Gwar fucking rule!!! Sounds was pretty awesome too bad there were so many fucking "hardcore" bands there. Hardcore is boring repetitive screamo, and any dumbass that can hold the same power chord for 2 minuites can play it. Opeth got to play with Gene Hogln again which is pretty cool, but Where is their drummer? Strapping sherds again!!! LOG sounded extremly off tempo to begin with but it's Lamb of God and they always kick=ass! Chimaria was suprisingly impresive. thats what I thought. mmmm....gwar blood taste good.... - Wed, 27 Jul 2005 6:05pm | ||

| hunterxACPC User Info... | "too bad there were so many fucking "hardcore" bands there." there were only 4 or 5 actual hardcore bands there..... fucking idiot - Wed, 27 Jul 2005 7:22pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | Devil Driver is the most poser band on the entire planet. Ex-coal chamber member? FVKK OVVVVVVVV! - Wed, 27 Jul 2005 11:18pm | ||
| Mutilashawn User Info... | you goddamn right Opeth ruled!! FUCK I'd wish they'd do a headlining tour again without a bunch of awful bands. - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 8:09am | ||
| Bleeding Lies User Info... | agreed, clutch sucked the big one, good at what they do, but had no place in sounds. I'd definatly say Gwar and Strapping put on the best shows. Chiamera and LOG were close behind, fucking incredible drummer in Chiamera. As whatshisname put it, it was a rediculously organized show, well done people who planned it. I liked the timed signings the bands did, although i missed Gwar's i made it for LOG's, cool guys. All in all, that was fucking necro show and it was one HELL of a hotbox in there for the size of the place. I would have to be killed to not come back next year, hopefully my Gwar-stained skin will last that long. Fuckin awesome job to all the bands, they evidently gave it their all. - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 9:45am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | the drummer from Chimera is Kevin Talley, who used to be in Dying Fetus. crazy eh? - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 11:24am | ||
| Tambo User Info... | You kids and your metal bands... It would've been sweet to see Throwdown and Madball... - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 11:53am | ||
| Criss Crass User Info... | As far as the HxC, Madball and Terror kicked some major ass! I got to meet and talk to both bands after their sets and they came across as real sincere, dedicated dudes. I agree with the rest that thought alot of the metal bands sounded the same. Lamb of God and Chimaira I thought were pretty quality and of course GWAR didn't disappoint either. The whole OPETH fascination everyone has I totally don't get. Boring! Zzzzzzzzz. All in all it was too long of a day trapped in the PNE Forum. In/Out privelages would've been nice. - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 12:57pm | ||
| jodi User Info... | Tambo, Throwdown got really bad. biggest dissappointment of the night. I still cnn't believe I saw Madball, it was unbelievable. Terror were intense. Gwar was hilarious. Their live performance was so entertaining, i completely forgot they were playing music for most of it. Opeth's 40 minute set was totally uncalled for. Barrier's suck. $6 veggie burgers suck. No ins/outs sucks. $30 tshirts suck. It was an okay show though. - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 3:33pm | ||
| Tambo User Info... | I still would've liked to see Throwdown, just because it's Throwdown. Terror would be swee too, but I'm going to (hopefully) be seeing them in September with Converge - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 4:02pm | ||
| Ward Ensemble User Info... | And near the end of a long day locked in a sweaty room, the last thing anyone needed to hear was Poison the Well..... They win the suckage cup. - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 5:00pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | did A Life Once Lost play this show? i hear theyre a good live band, and for a more "rocking" meshuggah like band theyre not too bad. - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 9:21pm | ||
| hunterxACPC User Info... | old throwdown is good, not the new stuff - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 10:02pm | ||
| What I've Become User Info... | "too bad there were so many fucking "hardcore" bands there. Hardcore is boring repetitive screamo, and any dumbass that can hold the same power chord for 2 minuites can play it" i couldn't agree more. don't get me wrong, i've been into a fair share of hardcore bands, but things are really getting out of hand here! i was pretty bored for most of the bands, good thing i didnt catch the first few im sure! Strapping sounded great, townsend's awesome, gene ripps. GWAR's set was too short for my liking! grrrrr. Nothin compared to Sugar.. Criss Crass: "All in all it was too long of a day trapped in the PNE Forum. In/Out privelages would've been nice" -I FUCKIN HEAR YA! Well said bro. Overall, I've never had to wait through so much BS to see LoG; and the strobes (esp. from Chimaira) nearly gave me a fuckin anyeurism (sp?) and i left the show CRAVING some hard-ass death metal! \m/ - Thu, 28 Jul 2005 10:31pm | ||
