that was a great show, I was really impressed with strapping young lad, having never seen them live before. I did catch some of the opening act before SYL and thought they were pretty cool also but missed there name. As I arrived late I missed meat locker seven's set. - Sun, 3 Apr 2005 1:34am

The band before SYL was ok, didn't do much for me.


Strapping was good, but I didn't have as good as a time seeing them for the 7th time. I went to watch Gene, what a crazy mother fucker.

I was drunk, it was fun. - Sun, 3 Apr 2005 11:23am

aCk... I just realized I screwed up! I meant to say did Strapping Young Lad played before the other bands?!? And I was wondering if anyone got photos of SYL, but hey if someone got photos of all the bands, that's cool. - Sun, 3 Apr 2005 12:10pm

ML7 sounds great with their post Paria piracy. Glad I caught most of their set.

Shitty Agony Scene couldn't get through the border. You'd figure Canada would not be so stupid about letting people in as the "we are the center of the universe" americans. Paul Martin probably gave border control entirely over to Boy George hency the gayness & not being able to see Agony Scene.

Reflux was fucking killer! Man, I gotta stop taking my ridalin like that guitarist. Brotherhood of the shred is right. Never heard of them before & didn't expect much but that was a fanfuckingtaskic display of technical shred metal talent on all parts.

I no longer have to get thrown into prison to experience the pillow talk Devin was spitting out at the crowd.... - Sun, 3 Apr 2005 2:55pm

Strapping were awesome although the sound wasn't as good as the last time I saw them at Soundgarden. It was boomy and hard to hear the kicks at times. Gene played great. - Sun, 3 Apr 2005 4:08pm

**have to give a big Fuckin' Eh, to Jay Brown for ripping that big goon's shirt off.....too funny!!**

Yeah, but he had enough money for a Strapping T-shirt - somebody should have taken that one off him as well. I don't understand the mentality of moshing GOONS. Have fun yes, but don't ruin the show for the people who wanna see the bands. - Sun, 3 Apr 2005 5:55pm

That show ruled I got a ton of pics of all the bands.... some seriously sweet shots of ML7 gotta send them to the boys. Had a blast, the bands rocked...as for ripping his shirt off, he smashed into our table first and knocked over our drinks and pissed us all of. Then I was taking pics and he smashed into me so I got a little mad. But that was only 30 seconds of the night the rest of the night was angst free and fucking ruled. - Mon, 4 Apr 2005 12:40am

Yo!
Just want to thank Atomique for being so kind to invite us onto this bill to test our new line-up and for being very accomodating to us eventhough they didn't have to be.
And a HUGE thanks to everyone who got there early enough to catch our set! I know it's hard to get to the bar that early, so we appreciate your support!
We felt our set went well. A big part of that was due to our soundman for the evening, Scott and our monitor guy, Warren. They did one of the best sound jobs on us ever and we hope to work with them again lots more!
We're very excited about our show at Lucky on Friday, April 15th with Into Eternity and ERD! We are on first yet again, so if you missed us and want to see Darryl and Lincoln making things well in the ML7 camp, be sure to get there early {like 9-9:30ish}.
Caught a little of Savannah's set and a little of Reflux's set. Had to load gear right away. What I heard was pretty darn good. Didn't see enough to give a full review.
SYL. Don't need to tell anyone much more than "That was awesome!"
One complaint. Where were the guitars in the mix and why was the bass lacking bottom end? Overall though, their new material sounded killer live.
Looking forward to seeing any pictures that were taken of us. Anyone who has some they wanna contribute {Jay Brown-my meth dealer}, can email them to me at [email protected] in a zipped format or Messenger them to me at
[email protected]
I'll add you if you look like you aren't gonna be annoying or stalk me or something.
And thanks to everyone at the afterparty for being somewhat well behaved in the jamspot! Big crowd and I didn't know most of the people, but there were no problems, so thanks!
Oh, and thanks to Tony for showing up and not bad mouthing us too much.
You damn portugoose. - Mon, 4 Apr 2005 3:39pm

Wow, cool! Explosive Rage Disorder and ML7 on the 15th of April at Lucky bar?!? Excellent! Hopefully I'll be able to stay awake for that. Alas, I was too tired to make the afterparty otherwise I would of shown up. - Mon, 4 Apr 2005 4:47pm

Oh, and just for clarification, we won't be having a gathering at the spot after the Lucky show. Just want to say that so people don't show up and find the doors are all locked.
The gathering will be at Aaron Clark's house. I think his address is in the phone book.
Should be a fun show.
Now where are all the fucking reviews? - Mon, 4 Apr 2005 5:39pm

Great show, had a excellent time !

First the meat was in fine forum bloody and grade A just the way I like it ,a slice of mad cow with the condiments to go along ! I've never seen you guys so tight and even with the new shredder and can banger . Darryl and Lincoln fit right in like a well greased machine , and the sound was top fucking notch ! Right on bro's all your hard work paid off getting ready for the first show with the new members and the new shit was kind of a departure from what I’m used to hearing coming out of ML7 crew but good none the less .
Now Reflux and Savannah's set were ok but I’m not to sure who went on first after the meat ? If I’m right the second band was Reflux a Hatebreed sounding band , very good, nu-metalish and Savannah was next and I must apologize for not really listening to close on the account I was half pissed and was Jon’s in for SYL to go on plus making out with my lady . Oh well my humble opinion is that of the three bands before SYL, Meatlocker7 came out on top !

SYL what the fuck can I say but IMPRESIVE, I do believe this cd they are touring with may be their best and they didn’t disappoint and played a lot of it plus the old stand by’s like Oh my fucking god and some off of the self titled cd, a great show and the band was tight but the sound was a little muddy . Thank you Mike for getting the band to sign my axe and thank you SYL for taking time after the show to pen your names on my LTD , I’m still in awe over it ! I probably shouldn’t have brought it back to the jam spot and used it, a bit of Devins sig rubbed off but most is in tacked . Thank you bro’s at the jam spot for letting a poor boy hurt your ears and thank you Jeff for letting all of us use the Mesa had a great time ! Tony don’t be a stranger and you ripped it up that night !

See you on the 15th , Aaron party on dude see you and Simon at the bash . - Mon, 4 Apr 2005 7:29pm

Even if I hadn't been bumped around a whole bunch with the moshers, and even if I hadn't sliced my hand open play-fighting with my friend's boyfriend, the night and the entre buzz in the room full of people loving the music still would have been awesome. - Mon, 4 Apr 2005 8:30pm

I had an experience of moshing gone crazy also bashed into my lady then placed a gorgeous goddess on her ass and then knocked a drink out of my hand twice. I'm really getting tired of these fucking goofs getting out of control and using others as their own personal wall. Had it happen at the Sick house last week for fucks sake smashing into ladies is fucked up and deserving of a shot in the head and good for you Mr. Brown for setting that ass strait !
Moshin is one thing but out of control flailing is another . - Mon, 4 Apr 2005 8:35pm

i wasnt a huge fan of the other bands. they were very professional, but i found their style, especially savanah, repetative.
strapping kicked ass! im so glad they came to vic!

Oh yeah, and I planted my ass on the ground just near the edge of the mosh pit twice in being drunk and being so bumped around.

Awesome pics Wolf and Jay. What a blast of a show.
The new ML7 line-up is sweet ass action, very impressive indeed.
SYL were deadly, my first time seeing them, wish i could remember all the funny things that Devin said, good material!
SYL draws a real cross section of music lovers, cool to see everyone mixing it up together for the good of THE METAAAAAL.
The after party was a full house that continued well into the next day. I agree with Mr.Hell, everyone was pretty well behaved considering the amount of people in our tight lil jam spot.
Good times all around. - Wed, 6 Apr 2005 10:01am

Saves on them cleaning up broken glass, plus the plastic cup can't be used as a weapon. And they don't have to clean plastic cups so they never run out of sleeves. However it's pretty lame cause beer tastes better in a glass sleeve. - Thu, 7 Apr 2005 7:25am

If they had decent security there then beer bottles would not have been an issue.
