| Tambo User Info... | Leslie, you're just bitter that you didn't get in. I wasn't there for Moneyshot. Whatever. Social Code were okay. Whatever. Alexisonfire was good. I had fun, it was an enjoyable night, though maybe not worth 20$. - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 7:05am | ||
| Bladge User Info... | why did you come to the show then leslie? you're so scene/H-CORE :) - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 7:32am | ||
| Peter Gardner User Info... | Not a fan of Moneyshot. Social Code were ok. They made fun of Moneyshot which made me laugh. Alexisonfire was wicked. I wish their set would have been a bit longer though. Good stuff - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 7:45am | ||

| leslie. User Info... | I was only there to hand out handbills for my upcoming show. I saw a bit of the second band, Then I left. - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 10:32am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | i was there in case anyone didn't notice. i am the lead singer of Alexisonfire. i really like the droves of grade sevens who made it out to see us! - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 11:15am | ||
| k8 User Info... | moneyshot were fun. social code were bad. alexisonfire put on a good show. can't complain as i wasn't paying. - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 11:34am | ||
| darcy User Info... | I didn't go because, well, $20 seems like a bit much for something that can be just as great for $6. I've seen Moneyshot before, and maybe the reason people didn't like them here as much is because they definatly have a rock lean to them. Never heard the Social Code, but I think I've seen a video by them played on Muchmusic or something, so that is that. I'm sure Alexisonfire (the Greenday of screamo if you will) pleased all those guys and girls whose parents' just don't "get" them. Actually, I've never seen them live, so my opinion is invalid to this thread. - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 1:25pm | ||
| k8 User Info... |  fuck you i'm going to listen to simple plan - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 1:48pm | ||
| Soap Dodger User Info... | I enjoyed what I saw of Moneyshot - whish I'd arrived a bit earlier. Social Code sucked. Alexis on Fire were great - I'm not a big fan of their CD, but they had an awesome live show. - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 1:49pm | ||
| hunterxACPC User Info... | listen to no secrets between sailors - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 2:13pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | "Alexisonfire (the Greenday of screamo if you will) pleased all those guys and girls whose parents' just don't "get" them." there's actually pretty much no similarity between alexisonfire and true screamo. other than the presence of screaming but even then the screaming is a lot different. it's true they're very pop-influenced. even so, I enjoy them. and I can't say that about a lot of similar bands to them so maybe they're doing something right? but I'm sure all the scenesters who stood outside and made fun of them gained some scene points, and that's all that matters right? - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 2:21pm | ||
| darcy User Info... | That's why I reffered to them as the Greenday of screamo. Greenday are sort of seen as the face of popunk (true or not), even though popunk is a very varied genre (Most of it sucks, but it's got some good stuff.) - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 3:11pm | ||
| Trican User Info... | point is.... alexisonfire are very good.. and made me want to jam alot :( - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 3:22pm | ||
| The One After Two User Info... | Moneyshot fucking rules. Sorry if they don't have faux hawks, they are just men. Social Code will be opening up for Good Charlotte next month, that might explain them a bit better for you. Nice guys, decent pop, professional (signing autographs, taking pictures, and all that good stuff). The show was for kids... and the kids are alright. Best Alexisonfire show that I've seen. They sound best live. Made me crack out and dust off my Watch Out record today. The person that described them as the Greenday of Screamo... that sounds about right. theset or Kincaide would have been a more natural local openner to me. still, I loves my Moneyshot. - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 4:46pm | ||
| Jesspsycho User Info... | Curious if anyone over 16 enjoyed the show? - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 6:15pm | ||
| Peter Gardner User Info... | Im 17. I enjoyed it. Ha - Thu, 14 Jul 2005 7:01pm | ||
| Trican User Info... | haha.. we tried to open believe me.. atomique hates us? - Fri, 15 Jul 2005 12:01pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | "Curious if anyone over 16 enjoyed the show? " I'm also 17 and have graduated - Fri, 15 Jul 2005 10:38pm | ||
| aRCHeTYPe User Info... | that show was wicked! moneyshot was as impressive as usual, the new songs were cool, espacially sophia, rockin tune. social code were good, i enjoyed when the sound techs had to turn the monitors around for the crowd to hear, good improv. good crowd interaction. alexisonfire, i saw them last time at the commodore. the energy from these guys is unreal. steele is insane on stage just gazing off into nowhere. the new drummer was wicked he did a fine job that night. all in all this show was great although i wish it would have lasted a bit longer - Sat, 16 Jul 2005 8:40am | ||
| Peter Gardner User Info... | Yea, their set was short, but in all fairness, they did have to be in Calgary the next day. Im just glad they came :) - Sat, 16 Jul 2005 12:11pm | ||
| Trican User Info... | they left at 6 in the morning yay!!! the life of rockstars!! - Sat, 16 Jul 2005 3:05pm | ||
| Rick James User Info... | Money shot... I think they coulda mabie done better with a different set. Social code surprised me, i really liked them. Alexisonfire ripped shit up as usuall, the people who disagree should try taking their head out of their ass next time they go see a show and acctually watch the music. - Sun, 17 Jul 2005 3:40pm | ||
| Nothingface User Info... | I'd have to agree with Mr James! I'm 35 and I fuckin loved Alexisonfire. Not many of you kids out there seem to understand what it takes to play with that kind of energy and still stay true to your music! There are not many bands (actually not one that I've seen from Victoria) that can keep up that intensity and play their instuments that well, and keep their time and pitch that tight? Yeah there are lots of really intense bands in Vic, but that tight? NO. I will admit that I haven't seen all the bands here in town, but I have seen the majority of all the most well known and popular bands in almost all styles of music, but we're kinda talkin Harcore, punk, metal scene here. Everyone likes something different from their live experience ( as we've seen discussed here on Livevic recently ) and for me I want to see intensity and energy as well as the music being tight and precise. Straight Up........AOF delivers! Too short a set though!! I also think that is the coolest venue in this city! It should be open for a few more months a year and give more (local) bands a chance to play there. - Mon, 18 Jul 2005 12:53pm | ||
| Tambo User Info... | Mr. Nothingface, AK47 has more intensity in their set and sounds just as good live. They're tight. They're rad. You should check them out. - Mon, 18 Jul 2005 2:02pm | ||
| Trican User Info... | remember that alexisonfire have spent like the last 4 years constantly touring.. umm that gets you extreamly tight - Mon, 18 Jul 2005 6:38pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | that and playing two note songs. - Mon, 18 Jul 2005 6:45pm | ||
| Trican User Info... | you mean like... 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1... kinda sounds like metal? love you nik - Mon, 18 Jul 2005 9:22pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | maybe if we're speaking "Six Feet Under". - Mon, 18 Jul 2005 9:25pm | ||
| Nothingface User Info... | Mr Tambo, I have in fact seen AK47 live and yes they are intense and tight, and happen to be one of my personal favs in the scene, but in my opinion the night I saw them about a year ago they were not as tight and crushing as AOF. Yes 4 years of touring will get you very tight, so it is an unfair advantage. I will get another chance to see them live soon though, seeing as my band will be playing with them on Aug 14th. (Tentatively) There are others posting in here who play in bands that I have seen very recently that are simply not tight at all. I just think that if you hate the music...fine, thats cool. But if you cant play live better than AOF yourself than how can you slag it? - Tue, 19 Jul 2005 10:51am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | SLOPPY MUSIC IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO BRAM. IT'S TR00 KVLT. but i feel i can slag this band because it is part of a popular music outlet. and yes Mito is never tight. i'm glad we arent because i dont like tightness, we're loose like mother goose. jeez just come out and SAY IT i wont take offense. - Tue, 19 Jul 2005 2:15pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | I would pay to see NikOlazonfire. - Tue, 19 Jul 2005 4:30pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | i'd pay to set myself on fire with sex too. - Tue, 19 Jul 2005 6:11pm | ||
| Mutilashawn User Info... | Nik used to like Alexisonfire . . I have proof ps. they are a very fun live band, I don't care what anyone says - Tue, 19 Jul 2005 6:38pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | it's true i once thought they were a decent band. mind you, this was before anyone on the island even knew who this band was. - Tue, 19 Jul 2005 8:27pm | ||
| Trican User Info... | your so underground nik - Tue, 19 Jul 2005 8:50pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | i know. sometimes people dont understand me because i'm so dark and kvlt. - Tue, 19 Jul 2005 9:30pm | ||
| The One After Two User Info... | I was the same way with Ashley Simpson. I feel your pain Nik... everyone just jumped right on my LaLa bandwagon. Now Ashley isn't kvlt anymore, its tragic. - Wed, 20 Jul 2005 8:32am | ||
| Nothingface User Info... | Nik, you know I will never personally rip any band, and if your serious about playin sloppy, then all the power to ya. But playing really tight is.......... waay moor kvlt!!! p.s. ( I enjoyed Mito, nice and heavy with cool vox ) - Wed, 20 Jul 2005 8:05pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | hahah well this is the internet. im joking completely. i like trolling threads heheheh. - Wed, 20 Jul 2005 10:02pm | ||
