| ML7Mike User Info... | hello?! Local promoters? lets get these to Vic! \||/ - Mon, 29 Aug 2005 10:30am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | heres my advice to the promoter: Get Meshuggah to play a 3 hour set. The rest of these bands suck. Thank you. - Mon, 29 Aug 2005 1:50pm | ||
| What I've Become User Info... | replace Mnemic w/ COB and that show is priceless. (although nik reminds me that all the bands suck so it's not worth going to anyways.. :( getting them to come to vic eh... the only prob is that it can't be a weAkday show cuz we all know NO ONE goes to shows on weAkdays in vic.. this city is DOOMED! DOOOOOMED i says! - Tue, 30 Aug 2005 1:01pm | ||

| Platoon User Info... | I would love to see both shows. But what the hell is with the weekday dates? We need more shows on the weekend. - Thu, 1 Sep 2005 1:30am | ||
| WEINNER! User Info... | I WIN I WIN I WIN! My friend just called and whatever happens I'm getting into Meshuggah! YES! - Sat, 22 Oct 2005 1:09pm | ||
| WEEIINNNER GALORE! User Info... | The Haunted Meshuggah Words fail me. I can't even begin - the sound was even good! - Tue, 25 Oct 2005 12:22am | ||
| YERMOMSMOM User Info... | Mnemic... as much as I like em, they didn't do that great of a show, even tho they were the only band that somewhat sounded like Meshuggah. The Haunted and God Forbid were not really worth it in my opinion. They were just too generic, sounded nothing like Meshuggah. Meshuggah absolutely destroyed everything. I partially agree with Nik's original statement. - Tue, 25 Oct 2005 2:57pm | ||
| Sati User Info... |  Anyway, I was prepared to be astounded, but not prepared to be banging my head throughout the show! Also was pretty amazed that there were only 3 parts where I just didn't get what they were doing - where it was so chaotic and seemingly unconnected that I couldn't feel it. The rest of the time I always found where I could ground myself in a 4/4 or something and not be thrown off by all the crazy shit dancing over top of it. Absolutely fucking amazing. It braught to mind all those words I hear metalheads use to describe shows.. brutality, devastation.. this is the only show I can say truly lived up to those words. I kept counting pegs.. 8 on each guitar, and 6 on the bass? And a pretty minimal kit, for what was coming off it. It all came off smooth and effortless.. it just was not tough to get into! And I got to see it with some good friends/favorite musicians, who're all influenced in a big way by M, so that made my night. One girl came out simply because she'd read some Meshuggah lyrics. I thought that was cool, since their lyrics had never occurred to me. The sounds were all new to her though, haha. The Haunted were pretty powerful too, and I'd see them again in a second. I was pretty amazed at people up and leaving after their set though - true, they provided all one would need for a great night, but it was Meshuggah headlining for hell's sake! God Forbid didn't do a thing for me and we missed the first band cuz my friend wanted to grab a beer upstairs. - Thu, 27 Oct 2005 11:44am | ||
| I Kissed Lucia User Info... | Isn't this the show REVIEWS forum...or some shit, fuck you all BTW: Bought my Amon tickets the other day - Thu, 27 Oct 2005 4:46pm | ||
| Sati User Info... | well, maybe if someone in charge did this promotion shit right, we wouldn't have one thread announcing 2 seperate shows to fuck everything up! Gramma, your review was bang on.. it really was ALL about Meshuggah.. sigh. - Fri, 28 Oct 2005 9:02pm | ||
