i can't wait for this show. we'll have a special guest fill-in drummer for this. it'll be fun.

sweet.

hahaha joe fucking stump thats awesome

Who who who!?

how did you know i love owls?

I occasionally break into your house and borrow from your owl pornography collection.

i enjoy elf owls

they are my favorite

El Fowls

But yeah, Chris Helme (The Accursed/Smite The Righteous/Polaris/The Death Perception) will be behind the kit for us on this show. I'm pretty stoked.

we should've kept it asecret and surprised motherfuckers with it. i'm looking forward to playing this show with chris. we really appreciate him filling in for this show.

Chris was surprised that we announced it, and figured people would have figured it out already. haha

I hate you guys, and your songs. I'm only in this for the money. Five large to my swiss account, right fellas? Aaaaaaalrighty then.


(This should be a shit ton of fun bros, I'm looking forward to it, haha!)

You wouldn't be the first to hate us, or our songs. haha

P.S. You guys ruined my April Fools' joke, I was gonna keep it completely secret until the night of the show, tell everyone I joined the band, got you guys to back the joke up for the night and then watched hilarity ensue.

P.P.S. Chris F., how close am I to breaking the most appearances record since I'm playing this gig and the 20th show with STR?

i wanted it to be a surprise as well, but now people have something interesting to look forward to.

Joe Stump is gonna shit metal magic out of his fingers into all of our eardrums.

See? This is what happens when I take care of something. Fucking useless.

not really a big deal dude.

Hey dudebros, feel the love! Come party with us on Saturday!

YOU JUST MADE ME BONER!

What's your count? I just did the math. I'm up to 5.

2 for BoE

2 for NooseBomb

1 for Composted.

I honestly have no idea, I'll check the site and see if there's a master list of all the past MT's.

I'm up to 7 now...
4 with The Accursed
1 with STR
2 with Polaris

This one with DS and the 20th with STR will put me up to 9.

Once the shit's together (meaning TDP) we should get Chris to book a monster show with 20 minute sets by The Accursed, STR, Polaris, TYAG, Composted and The Death Perception and make it the Mike & Chris show.

Or not.

7? good fucking lord. And I thought I liked to torture myself.

Gwynbeidd are pissa, I will really try to make that one. Day after my birth day too, woo hoo!

Dan do come by, looking forward to downing a few beers! I took the next day off so I might even just look to crash somewhere in Worcester after the show

I think at this point Steve the sound guy has settings on his sound board marked specifically for both MSD & C. Helme's drum kits...

I can't stand how that guy bothers with setting up overhead mics, yet he only mic's 2 of the tom drums. Doesn't make any fuckign sense to me at all.

It's done to piss you off. The world is conspiring against you.

I wonder if he'd be mad if at the next time we play ralph's we play on the floor with no mic's. It'd probably sound better.

I have consistently made him mad everytime I've played there.

You should take the overhead mics on a date then drug them and rape them.

I don't need to, I'm ridiculously good looking.

I am now crying.

Dan you should definitely come down for this, we'll spark one up.

sparch it up dude

Finally got to jam to get ready for this gig. Fun times. Should be pretty cool!!!

Yeah it is gonna rule. I think this is the tightest we have ever been.

jamming with chris was really fun yesterday, despite my throat aids and chris feeling under the weather as well. chris's drumming sounded incredible, and once the rest of us knock a bit of rust off and gel with chris a little more, we'll sound really good for the show. i'm really looking forward to it.

What are the chances of you guys pulling out Trapped in a Corner for this one...?

i don't know, but i'll mention it to the guys

i call tits "milk bladders"

how about trapped in a closet

the r kelly song?

how about Keep It in the Closet.

bump, this show is gonna kill

bam!

I'm looking forward to seeing Dreaded Silence again. Since they're playing first, this will motivate me to show up on time.

yay!

I can't wait to get really baked again and watch Joe Stump's crazy ass hyper fingers.

Also anyone who hasn't seen Gwynbleidd yet needs to go to this... fucking amazing

I'm SO stoked to see Gwynbleidd and Revocation again. This show is going to fucking rock.

And a bump.

i have to remember to go to this

and roll

Yes, you do.

Tom, if you want to meet up before this show i plan to get totally bake-aked.

that sounds like a fabulous plan

I don't wanna smoke before playing.. but if dudes wanna get down on tha ill bowl sesh before Stump plays.. I'm down to match.

I looked at this thread and thought "didn't this happen last year?"

It is the Wrestlemania of guitar solos.

revocation and stump played together last year at metal thursday with polaris and another band i can't remember right now.

I had been trying to get Revocation back on a Metal Thursday for months and months and it finally worked out for this one... haha, c'mon, 34 shows and I think this is the only the 2nd time where the 2 same bands have been on more than one MT together.

Gutwrench

i think i missed them at that show. did they play first?

Yeah they played and left immediately. Notice they haven't been on a MT since.

I'm pretty sure that we've played with Nocturnum twice. I could be wrong, though.

Indeed you are wrong. DS & Nocturnum only appeared together once:

Metal Thursday IX - January 4th, 2007
Sin of Angels (RI)
Hung (NY)
Dreaded Silence
Nocturnum

Strange. Oh, nevermind, that was a Lucky Dog show.

How dare you confuse Ralph's with the Lucky Dog!

My time in Worcester has been a blur, what can I say?

Anyways, this is tomorrow.

faaaaaaaack yeah

bunch of ingrates

They need to play with Suplecs.

Thats like confusing Chris with Scott

Yeah, I fail. I know.

i once announced on stage that we'd be playing our next show at the lucky dog, when we were actually playing ralph's. that's worse than mistaking a past show on the interwebs. big oops on my part that time. i felt like a dummy.

yeah the Lucky Dog sucks.

More like the Unlucky Dog

More like the Lucky (to not die trying to get there going through Kelley Square) Dog

Kelly Square should be the final level of that game Burnout

oh man, the other day i went to a show at the Hotel Vernon put on by our neighbors band, who are from way out of town. so they had their friends and families come and check them out, and all i kept hearing was "what the fuck is with that intersection??". they said so many of their friends got lost and said the same thing, "we went to this crazy intersection without lights or signs, and couldn't find anything".

isnt Hotel Vernon where they keep the AIDS?

yeah, the friends and families of the band were the classiest people that have ever set foot in that dump. you have to snake through crackheads and whores to get to the venue part.

I feel unsafe driving past the Hotel Ver-non...I would never set foot in that shithole.

The LD is good for karaoke on Monday nights... shitty song selection but you can get up on the stage and you can get like 10 songs in a night. Crazy Dan & I go sometimes & do mad duets.

Tonight...at the Civic Center...Pablo Phoenix!

I feel like death right now. My playing tonight is going to be even worse than usual. I apologize to everyone in advance.

are you sick?

:(

Yes indeed.

Some chick I work with gave some me naproxin so my headache and sinus pain are somewhat reduced but now I feel dizzy. Ugh. I think I need to pound a gallon of orange juice or something before the show.

i felt like shit today too from too much drinking and poker last night. luckily my work has something called a "recovery room" which allowed me to nap myself back to health.

every workplace in america needs one of those

ya def beats passin out in my car.

i could use a narp right about now

So the only longhaired member of DS won't be headbangin tonite

Any chance of anyone being trapped in any corners tonight or what?

a gallon of OJ will flush yoour insides right out.

are you coming to this, RAVerend?

I feel like balls from doing errands all day. Go DS!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like crap today. I was at work until midnight last night, and then I had to attend some early morning training for the second time this week. Ugh...

I feel like hell today. HUGE thanks to Revocation for switching with us, and Chris for being accommodating. Definitely one of the best MT's I've been to.

finally home! time to catch some sleep.

great show last night. finally got to see Revocation (who kiiillled) and DS was awesome as usually. huge props to Chris rockin the kit.

Yeah, Chris was killer.

i could use one of these right now. i am really tired from last night.

Was a good fucking time last night... aside from almost getting into a fight with some dude who didn't like us getting rowdy during Joe Stump, and his friend telling me "You and your friends are about to get lit up." Crazy Dan told the guy to suck his balls... classic.

Dana and I were about to jack that guy up. Fuckin' doodguy.

crazy dan is the best

I do apologize to anyone who got hit with the geyser of Nastygansett that erupted when Morgan Nocturnum smashed into me as I was taking the first sip out of the bottle.

one time he ejected someone from a party at my house, the dude didn't know what to do. every word he tried to say was interrupted by Dan saying something about him being gay. the dude he booted was a total jerk off and deserved it.

I love how the guy was mad because two people accidentally knocked into him and his girlfriend, but the girlfriend thought he was an idiot. She was outside praising Crazy Dan for telling her boyfriend to suck his balls.

Thanks for the props folks. I wish I could've stuck around all night, but I had a sitter at home, and that shit gets paid for by the hour, haha. Revocation, thanks so much for being stand up dudes and letting us swap sets with you, although playing after you was harsh, haha! DS bros, what a great night! I'm here whenever you guys need me! Gwynbleidd, great stuff from the few songs I was able to stick around for, kudos! And Stump, well I know he shredded, I've had the pleasure of playing with him twice already and watching him in action. The crowd ruled, and while I'm glad I could sit in and help the DS guys out, I think the crowd deserves a hand for being the most die hard bunch of fuckers ever! Kick ass, and I'll see you all again soon, I'm sure!!!!

last night was a great time after the initial chaos of mike getting there late. he made up for it by doing a great job onstage last night. thanks so much to revocation for saving our asses by switching sets with us. you guys are the best. as chris already said, going on after revocation is a difficult task. we sounded alright though, especially behind the kit, so thanks a lot to chris for filling in. thanks again to metal thursday chris for putting on yet another great metal thursday and for being so cool and patient with us and pushing the start time back. thanks to the crowd for kicking ass and waiting patiently for the metal to start. you all rule.

Good show. I still managed to get some headbanging in despite having a headache and stomache pain. I also had a really hard time not punching that douchebag who was trying to be a hardass. I would have gotten killed though.

No wai man. It would have been that guy vs the metal thursday crowd. He would have been done like dinner.

I busted out the Oblivion Never Came EP after this show and can't stop listening to it since...

Thanks man. I'm really proud of how that came out.

that's awesome, dude. we're glad you enjoy it.

It's fuckin' catchy
