23 HARD TRUTHS ABOUT ROCK BANDS
1. Never start a trio with a married couple.
2. Your manager is not helping you. Fire him/her.
3. Before you sign a record deal, look up the word "recoupable" in the dictionary.
4. No one cares who you've opened for.
5. A string section does not make your songs sound any more "important".
6. If your band has gone through more than 4 bass players, it's time to break up.
7. When you talk on stage, you are never funny.
8. If you sound like another band, don't act like you're unfamiliar with their music.
9. Asking a crowd how they're doing is just amplified small talk. Don't do it.
10. Never name a song after your band.
11. Never name your band after a song.
12. When a drummer brings in his own songs and asks to perform one of them, begin looking for a new drummer....IMMEDIATELY.
13. Drummers can take off their shirts or they can wear gloves, but not both.
14. Listen, either break it to your parents or we will; it's rock 'n' roll, not a soccer game. They've gotta stop coming to your shows.
15. It's not a "showcase". It's a gig that doesn't pay.
16. No one cares that you have a web site.
17. Getting a tattoo is like sewing platform shoes to your feet.
18. Playing in Hanley & Crewe doesn't mean you're on tour.
19. Although they come in different styles and colors, electric guitars all sound the same. Why do you keep changing them between songs?
20. If you use a smoke machine your music sucks.
21. If blues solos are so difficult, why can so many 16 year olds play them?
22. Rock oxymoron's; "major label interest", "demo deal".
23. 3 things that are never coming back:
a) gongs
b) headbands
c) playing slide guitar with a beer bottle |
|
|
the changing of guitars is because of tuning difference. some people fail to realize that because they touch pee pee a lot. |
|
|
Some people change guitars while the other guitar player and bass player use the same instrument through the whole set. No tuning changes there.
Some people fail to realize that they're not always right. [snicker snicker] |
|
|
some people fail to realize that everything is gay. |

2nd silly! 2 more to go! |
|

I wish my dad would come to a show, he makes fun of people better then anyone else I know. It would be hilarious because he wouldn't like any of you. |
|
|
You dad is on Hitler's side. |
|

My Dad would make fun of Hitler for being short |
|

it would be funnier if your dad made fun of hitler for being jewish...that would get him... |

what's this about a fat blonde in Ascendancy?
i'm going to go take photos of this!!! |
|
|
Wicked fat. Like 8,000 pounds fat. |
|
|
dude, im going to this show just for the fat blonde chick. |
|
|
psst ...... fat blonde dude (DOM) |
|
|
oh .. did you get to spit in HER ass ? |
|
|
maybe. why do you need to know? |
|
|
i'm glad i introduced you to john...heh
oh and blue...there's a thread somewhere about it... |
|
|
um.. I thought you hated everything.. |
|
|
wasnt this thread supposed to be about a show? |
|
|
I like when they go "Hey! My eyes!"
I don't like how a shot across the tits is more points than a painted face.
I like this show. I'm going to be there. |
|
|
I looked at the rules and I was wrong about the points, but still... getting in their eyes should be 50,000 points. |
|
|
bump in the name of john holmes. |
|
|
im going to beat the crap out of blue at this show.
|
|
|
And I'm going to beat the crap out of green.
It's like some sort of Sesame Street violence... |

Funniest thing I've heard in a long time. |
|
|
I hate my life, but I like shows. |
|
|
are you still performing with a fig leaf covering yer privates? |
|
|
No, but that's what I'm wearing right now... did I say I'd perform dressed like that? |
|
|
yup you did
to get more people to go to the show |
|
|
gotta love these 21+ retardation shows. |
|
|
21+ = bar = free to book.
18+ = bar that's going to keep part of the door $, and obviously there arn't too many of these.
All Ages = $$$.
(general rules that don't apply to every venue/club) |
|
|
Do you thinkthey would let us bring someone thats not 21, and bring him on stage with us and say hes a back-up vocalist and lead headbanger? He'll still pay though. Think it would work? |
|
|
I think the CB is pretty cool about shit as far as I know. And if someone under 21 shows up WITH the band, where would they go? The door guy doesn't know how close or far anyone lives and I can't imagine him telling anyone who is with the band that they have to stand out on the sidewalk until the show is done.
Girls are easier, the girlfriend clause it's the simplest thing in the world. |
|
|
Ok. He's is like our good luck charm, we always play better with him around for some reason. |
|
|
yay! i'm a girl and a girlfriend!! |
|
|
ra's a retard cause he's young.
faggot |
|
|
Sounds like a good show. Me and Ryan'll be there. |
|
|
everyone get raddical!!! circle PIT!!!!!
hey dio show us your tits
|
|
|
recoupable means you gotta pay the label back for the money they gave you in the advance. BUT if they drop you from the label you no longer have to pay the money back. |
|
|
MOD don't you WORK at school

Oops that was me not logged in. not like anyone cares. |

RustedAngel said: | gotta love these 21+ retardation shows. |
you wouldn't come anyways, so shut the fuck up |
|
|
now Tom, that was uncalled for, once you turn 21 I expect to see you at these shows. |
|
|
Just got back. Our set was insane. IF you didn't like the music, I hope we at least gave you a good laugh. |
|
|
I'm home working on the pictures. |
|
|
ok, pictures are uploading. |
|
|
The show didn't have a very good turnout, which kind of bums me out.
Raising Kubrick played first, it took the first 2 songs for Sarah's voice to really kick in, but Kris and Blue's sporadic energy masked that anyway. By the end they were rocking, it was a good set.
Dissector was second, they were much better then when I saw them at O'Briens, not having technical difficulties helped. They played the song about the leper who lived with his mother's corpse. They also had the zombie mosh guy, who headbanged next to them the whole set! It was awesome, I owe you guys 10 bucks. Email me.
Abhorred was third, they are fantastic. If you haven't seen this band yet then you are so stupid, I hate you.
Ascendancy played third, for a rather short set in my opinion. It was a good set, lots of energy and heckling between songs.
All in all I had a good time, the club was happy with the turn out, as small as it was. But since it was like 6 days notice they aren't holding it against me.
March 20th here I come!
|
|
|
RIP baby
sorry ascendancy
to those of you who have no idea what i'm talking about..my baby (camera) died
the last pic i took was of Joe not Common right before Ascendancy played
$700 repair..yay! =( |
|
|
now thats damn cute. |
|
|
Great show last night, dissector was awesome AND hillarious...RK was amazing as usual...and Ascendancy killed. Buy their CD so they can go on tour in South America. More people need to show up at the next show on March 20. All in all, a great time |
|
|
raising kubrick: they were all sick and snotty I guess... probably from al the RK ground make-out sessions. sara's voice sounded a bit "manly" and didn't really have any of the high-end screams to it. this was accentuated by the fact that Peter (drums) was britney-spearsing it with a head set, doing back up lows.
dissector: those kids still love zombies and they dabuted the new song about that guy with leprocy (bet he'll be a zombie at some point). For being so young, those kids can really shread. They are a mix of hate eternal and macabre with some exhumed tosed in there.
abhorred: I finally figured it out! the vocals are a mix of pantera (when they were good) and a gruff scream ala goatwhore. interesting cause you can understand most of the lyrics. the guitarist shread too, taking turns in the lead. they slow it down on a track of two and click into southern rock riffs (ala soilent green).
right here, carina's camera die... it's probably going to cost here ~$600 to fix it too. the miror assembly quit on her. this is exactly what I feared happening with my camera.
ascendancy: by this point, there weren't many people there. But ascendancy are just pure, 100% rock stars and pushed through it. They let out some news and they freaking deserve it. I've seen them countless times and I never get sick of them. |
|
|
Although the show didn't have a huge turnout, it was still fun. I hope everyone engoyed the debut of my wireless head mic. Phil Collins is probably rolling in his grave.  (me at the show) |
|
|
HEY KID, STOP ALL THE DOWNLOADING
help computer |
|
|
have you seen a pink vinyl purse? |
|
|
i am just dying for my cigarettes |
|
|
Sorry to Abhorred and Ascendancy, our only ride home wanted to leave so we had to go.
Just to clear things up, the dudes mother was dead for 3 and a hald months, not 6 like our bassist said. My blister poppped in the second song so my fills were shit. Oh well.
Rev, the pics rule like usual. Finally somebody noticed our Macabre and Exhumed influence. |
|
|
meant to ask you yesterday dissector...who are you in the band? |
|
|
cool! got some cool shots of you..before my camera died =(
my pics will be up tonight
|
|
|
Sucks about your camera.
Two of the guys from Abhorred look realy fucking familiar. Hmmmm.... |
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rev - you need to stop calling them RandomShots and just be honest and call them CarinaShots from now on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
hahahaha BAD CarinaShots you mean |
|
|
nah. you always look good. natural talent always photographs easily. |
|
|
aww thanks but i don't like most of them
=)
but on another note! there are plenty of shows i go to and he takes random shots and i'm not in them
heh |
|

Which 2 of us look familiar? |
|
|
The one in the Mortician shirt and the one with the braided beard thing. I dunno, maybe I saw some of you guys at a show or something. |
|
|
Yea that sounds about right. We all go to a lot of shows. By the way, do you guys have a website that I don't know about yet? |
|
|
Raising Kubrick: Good solid set from these perverts. Tight like a tween and almost as pretty. Peter needs to not hold back on the little jazz-intro, hit them drums bitch! Definitely one of my top three favorites from New England, especially 'cause they all molest me at every show.
Dissector: I heard these guys had to take the day off from their paper-routes to play. I'm glad they did. Kickass gore-grindy fun, but they stole out bit about zombie-rape which made me sad. If they stick together for a couple years they'll be out of control.
Abhorred: More ass-kicking. Like Aaron mentioned too, I could actually understand what was being growled and it wasn't a weak of half-assed growl either. I really liked the couple Soilent Green-esque breaks, good contrast against the death-grind-whatever you want to call it.
Ascendancy: I could've taken a nap at any point during the whole night, including our set, but we pulled our shit together and I think we did pretty well. I'm looking forward to March 20th because we don't have to play last!! Hopefully we'll have shirts by then, everyone buy one so we can afford to go on tour, hah.
Thanks everyone who came, even the pretty girls who left just before our set. They always leave just before our set. I love it. Just another day in the book of metal. |
|
|
yeah, our website is www.dissector.cjb.net We have a real shitty recording on there, hopefully a good one will be up soon.
Sorry about stealing your zombie-rape bit, DOM. We didn't know. Thanks for the kind words people. |
|
|
awesome show everyone!!!!! thanks for the pictures aaron and carina, they came out spectacular as usual--you two rule. I'm getting over my illness slowly and hopefully the floor will cease from spreading more illness to me and high pitch screams will be in effect by the next show. Thanks to the bands for playing, to the people who actually came to see the bands, and to joenotcommon for being so in love with metal! i hope to see everyone at the next show!!!!! xo\m/xo |
|
|
good times, good bands, good people, good pictures.  |
|
|
sarah rules
 |
|
|
The best part of the show.
Blue's shirt !!!!!!! |
|
|
There were so many good shirts that night. |
|
|
good show fuckers.....sorry we missed rk.. that sucks. That kid dissector brought should be put in a cage or somthing for a stage prop.. see yall soon....Rob..of teratism |
|
|
Like a true zombie, this thread will never die!! mwahahaha. Carina, the pics are awesome! I gotta learn to stop making stupid faces when I play though. |
|
|
I do to actually... can't really help it though. Makes it more entertaining I suppose. |
|
|
Yeah, it is pretty funny looking at the pictures and seeing all the retarded faces you made without even knowing. |
|
|
good times...good times.... |
|
|
I particularly enjoy this one. I'm on the right. |
|
|
awesome show everyone! Keep metal alive and listen to DARKTHRONE!!! |

Does anybody know the record of most posts in a thread for RttP? I'm determined we can beat it with this. |
|
|
200 something. It was the Bloodletting N. America one back in November. |
|
|
for a show that less than 30 people went to, I say go for it |
|
|
i guess the people who worked at the bar really hated the music. oh well, they were just to old to realize how awesome it was. |
|
|
less then 30 people? more like less then 8 people. |
|
|
I think it was 8 people exactly. |
|
|
it was great listening to one of the guys working there talk about how "our music" was basically the downfall of humanity. |
|
|
i think i missed that...
what were they saying exactly? |
|
|
oh! let me add...when aaron and i got there, the venue got a phone call from someone asking what kind of a show it was
and the guy said "punk" |
|
|
i wasnt in the convo, only overhearing it. one of the guys was telling sarah how she didnt need to be screaming and doing that "crap" and how her singing voice was amazing, and how she needed to be on the big stage. quite interesting. |
|
|
raising kubrick...redefining punk. |
|
|
Some of the best punk bands played that night, I tell you. |
|
|
i concur..unfortunately..i didn't get to shoot the last band...i got this though..my second to last pic..
 |
|
|
now thats the biggest punk Ive ever seen! |
|
|
it was before you guys started playing...then i turned aroundand got a shot of joe and then...poof
bye bye camera |
|
|

yeah--haha, he said I should try to be more like Brittany Spears hahahahaha! this is when serge busted in and basically told the guy to shut up. It was funny because the whole time I was talking to the guy, his friend stood behind him and gestured that the man that said I should be like b. spears was a huge pot head and saying--yeah like you never had your fun days... haha, you old man! hahahahaha
|
|
|
I have done punk shows there, as well as metal, so they just took a chance and guessed punk.
I know that Bob loves the bands I book, that guy is the best.
I have no idea who that old fella was running the door.
The older female bartender doesn't mind it either, probably because she has seen so many bands that recognizing bad from good comes naturally now.
|
|
|
the guy at the door was new cause the "young" guy quit. |
|
|
yeah aaron and i got there early and heard all the gossip
heh
they are nice people |
|
|
Hahaha, that old guy was funny. "My music was all about being good, your music is all about sound". During RK's set I looked back and he was shaking his head in disapointment going "that's not singing"
Hahaha/ |
|
|
That guy was such a weirdo. Who else heard him arguing with Serge about jazz and metal? |
|
|
the "young" guy was cool, I think he was a SHARP or something. I stood behind him while Dissector played and felt like a boss at spooky world, cause he was scared and bewildered (sp?). I really like the chopping block though, it's just that parking is a bitch! |
|
|
who was it that thought robert downey jr. was dead because they saw him on tv? i know you're out there |

|

awesome. i knew i heard someone say it but i wasnt sure who. |
|
|
why hasn't this thread died yet? |
|
|
because i'm not letting it until it reaches 200 posts. get with the times, man. |
|
|
Oh okay, sorry about that. |
|
|
just don't let it happen again joe...or else. |
|
|
I'm going to beat this thread,
thime to bump the "what do you look like" thread. |
|
|
40 more posts. Let's go Assuck, 20 each. |
|
|
sounds good to me, but we already got beat by the what do you look like thread |
|
|
DAMN THAT THREAD
actually i guess i kinda helped by accident, but it was so damn tempting. |
|
|
Hahaha, I'm doing alright. And yourself? |
|
|
i'm not too bad. i'm about to give up on this thread though. i think we're the only ones left... |
|
|
Fine. Rest In Piece, thread... |
