[ubers2k]

possibly... where the hell is that at?

[FriskyWalrus]

seems to be a local show. and when i think of local "hardcore" i think of breakdowns and fail

[Lucky DAWG]

possibly... where the hell is that at?



right up a block from the masquerade i believe.




correct me if i'm wrong Hulud

[ubers2k]

hey... there's nothing wrong with breakdowns every now and then.

[FriskyWalrus]

you're right but there is something wrong with a breakdown in every song

[Hulud]

its not a local show and there are barely any breakdowns, theres a difference between hardcore and metalcore. :goodjob:

its not far from the masquerade

[Hulud]

drunken unicorn is also MJQ

[FriskyWalrus]

well not all metalcore is breakdowns. you just gotta find those certain bands lol. but breakdowns are what i think of when i think of hardcore and especially deathcore thanks to the older Job For A Cowboy

[Hulud]

job for a cowboy sucks so hard

lol

i know not all metalcore is breakdowns but thats where the most are though

[FriskyWalrus]

the old JFAC blew like there was no tomorrow. the new stuff is shockingly not bad

[Hulud]

nah they are the most overrated band among scene kids.

they talk them up like they are the sh*t

[FriskyWalrus]

you're so very right on that. i know quite a few kids that are like "OMG! JFAC IS SOO HARDC0RE Y0!" but some of their newer stuff is enjoyable

[Hulud]

you ever been to the 7 venue? that place is full of scene kids LOL

they make me lol

[FriskyWalrus]

try going to see DragonForce, Chimaira and Killswitch Engage at the Tabernacle. now that was a scenefest right there. honestly. who moshes to DF?

[ubers2k]

you ever been to the 7 venue? that place is full of scene kids LOL

they make me lol

Went there for a show not too long ago... ****ing rules about the pit pissed me off, but I wanted to see the bands there so I put up with it.

I lol'd so hard when kids were looking at my shirt trying to figure out who it was (Suffocation shirts FTW!)

[chhs_lax]

Wow people on IA listen to heavy music. Unfortunately local bands around here are awful, the only good one to ever come out of here is The Murdered.

[Hulud]

lol are you kidding me? the only good local band is The Murdered? LOL

wow.


there are plenty of good metal/hardcore bands around here

Foundation
Crossbearer
Terranigma
Irreversible
Drag The Waters
and the list goes on...

[chhs_lax]

Yea those bands are all great if you like listening to unoriginal music. I'm sorry but there's not anything coming out from this area that's anything special.

[FriskyWalrus]

you want original? go listen to Warmen and proceed to shiit yourself

[chhs_lax]

you want original? go listen to Warmen and proceed to shiit yourself

Yea I know about Warmen. They're really talented but I dunno I'm not too into it.

[FriskyWalrus]

well if you're into thrash that didnt take Metallicas riffs and use them, check out

Testament
Sodom
Kreator
Overkill
Destruction

[chhs_lax]

Thrash doesn't really do it for me. I like some bands that took thrash influence, like say Darkest Hour's old stuff if that gives you any idea. I respect thrash/speed stuff but it doesn't satisfy me musically. I like stuff like BTBAM, and then I also like retarded **** like Arsonists Get All the Girls, War From a Harlot's Mouth, and Horse the Band. I have really varying tastes with metal, but most newer/local stuff is getting so repetitive it's rediculous.

[FriskyWalrus]

iunno what it is but i dont like BTBAM

[chhs_lax]

That's my favorite band of all time. Whether you like them or not the talent is undeniable, I dont know if you play guitar or anything but their guitarists are unbelievable, they have a style all to their own. Everything they play is unique in its own way, and I like that about them. Everyone in that band is sick, nothing goes overlooked. Plus their versatility is incredible, I doubt you've listened through Colors but I've never heard so many styles of music played in one album.

[FriskyWalrus]

ive only listened to a few songs of theirs. and i admit. they have talent, i just dont like them lol. and i personally play guitar so i can admit if someone has talent and not be ashamed to do so

[chhs_lax]

I cant argue with ya for not liking a band, it's all about personal preference. Just like I dont like thrash, but some of those guys can straight up shred and even though I dont like it I'm down with it.

[FriskyWalrus]

a majority of the stuff i listen to is thrash, j-rock, prog, metalcore, etc so i know all about talent at different instruments. thrash covers guitar and bass, j-rock usually has a badass drummer in the band i.e. Shinya from Dir En Grey, prog has a shiitload of badass keyboardists, metalcore has very talented vocalists if you can find the right ones, etc

[chhs_lax]

Yea, I'm getting more and more into prog stuff like Genghis Tron, I love how some bands are starting to get more and more expansive, keeps it interesting.
