razermaze: excellent band and it was no wonder they were on this show. Oldschool thrash metal reincarnated. tons of denim and headbanging. The floor was sadly empty for them in front. Besides a couple people (including myself);the room stayed to the back drinking. It's really amazing how many people are already here at the show.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Sep 13,2008 9:26pm
superpower: since I don't think deadlikedeath is doing much, the bassplayer in in superpower now. This is pretty much what I wouls have expected from their set. It sounded the best from the side of the stage. At this point, the show is running 15 minutes ahead of schedule. RRW will probably make it another 10 minutes ahead. Anyhow, they seasoned the set with whiskey and terry's trademark showboating.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Sep 13,2008 10:18pm
raw radar war: before going on, they waited the clock out a little bit but even with that, they were done with more than 15 mintes to spare. I really really hope there isn't 2 45 minute breaks. The set through those speakers was audio gold. Ever this sounded so good. The bassist did his not looking at the crowd thing for the whole set. If you look at my pictures, you might not even notice him. They raced through their set, looking at the set lists while playing the ending of one song so that they didn't stop. Their songs are only 1-2 minutes long and on stage it's a seemless integration of all the songs. It plays very well on stage, but makes the set that much shorter. im glad that their seemingly miss matched status on this show made it that much better.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Sep 13,2008 11:24pm
steel assassin: they were once again awesome. I think they played the last wargasm show. Heavy metal and the vocals are campy or annoying. The band (from back stage) basically forms a wall to the audience. Sort of weird when I was trying to get shots of the crowd cheering along for them. Good stuff.

I was going to ask you if you were ok. Looked like you hit pretty hard. But then again fuck it, it's all about the metal and all the aches and pains are, and always will be, fucking worth it!!!!!!!!!!

Razormaze - first time seeing you guys, you really brought it! You guys kicked a lot of ass. Oh and Alex, I want my XL damn it! j/k.

Raw Radar War, Superpower - I was not familiar with your music before last night, but now I will be. Everyone sounded really tight. Although the low end coming out of the monitors was WAY overbearing, it really crushed a lot of the definition. I def. want to check out some recorded tunes.

Steel Assassin - what more can I say... Falzone sounded fucking great last night, the band was super tight and killed a lot of ass.

WARGASM!!!!! FUCKING WARGASM!!!!!!! Bob, Barry, Rich - You guys, by your performance last night, have proven yet again that you have earned, and deserve the position of being the legendary thrash band that you are! I haven't seen a pit like that at a "local" show in years. You all absolutely SLAYED last night. For me it's been 16years since I have seen you and it was so worth the wait. You guys made us all feel like family and a family we were! All the old timers came out last night and really showed how strong this scene was back in the day.

Dwyer it was good seeing you again, Dave Demonic it was really good meeting you, and talking to you bro. Whore, what can I say bro? It was killer meeting you and talking shit all night! I am really stoked you were down with the shit we were listening to after the show. We'll see... Oh and yea, yeti hunting at the Hock is so on!

All in all it was one of the best shows I have been to in a long ass time. I will be feeling this for a long time!

Fucking horns up! True Boston Metal at it's finest!




toggletoggle post by Whoremastery  at Sep 14,2008 10:29am
yes...fuckin hockomock is a must bro...good meeting you too..i saw people last night i havent seen in 10 years or more...good times..im sore as fuck..i guess im gettin to old to pit.

toggletoggle post by scarab at Sep 14,2008 5:17pm
yes, the mighty wargasm appeared once again at the middle east to lay waste to the metal masses who turned out in their finest ripped denim and leather. for those of you who don't know, wargasm was the band that, goddammit, should've been been huge. but bad business dealings and the like erected a wall of misfortune which proved to be too high for even these warriors to scale (um, what?). they released three albums and one ep during their time together in the late 80's/early 90's, and did a comeback in 2004, which was released as a live dvd last night. last night's show in turn was recorded for a future live album.

they played everything off of the classic "why play around?" album, including, yes, "le cou cou". a couple of covers were thrown in by the likes of motorhead and venom, with rich moving to drums, barry to bass, and bob to guitar for one tune. there were also some other gems tossed into the set, including a facemeltingly awesome "enemy mine" off of the criminally overlooked "ugly" album.

let me tell you something right now. rich spillberg plays guitar so goddamned fast that i half expected a police officer to appear onstage and write him up for speeding. seriously, this dude just shreds, and everything is tighter than a virgin nun's asshole. no clams here, no sir. and everyone basically sang/shouted along to every fucking word, which made bob mayo's job that much easier. and of course barry spillberg just powered the whole thing along at light speed. completely inhuman. unbelievable. fucking knee deep in blood, my friends. knee fucking deep in motherfucking blood.

wargasm: I was secretly bitching about how late they were going on. Midnight! Arg!!! Most of the time in between the different bands looked long on paper, but with all the people there were there to talk to, it went by wicked fast. Then wargasm hit the stage and the room was packed. People went crazy. I was just trying to stay out of video's way while getting shots. It sort of didn't even hit me that the show was happening until 10 minutes in when I heard Bob belt out "Knee deep in blood!". Once that graced the stage, imho, the stage was set. People raged. Even though it was basically known that they would be doing all Why Play Around?, people seemed to be surprised over and over about the songs that they were playing. ALL WPA people means ALL OF THE RECORD WHY PLAY AROUND?. 'nuff said. after so many years not together (then playing the show in 2004), this was definitely the better of their sets. More energy, More slamming, and More people getting booted. That's how you know it's a good show at the middle east. Don't count the number of people through the door coming in, but the number of people tossed out the door. like miss larissa. I hope that the show in RI re-lives the 80's and is a slam-pit heaven just for one night.
