I shouldn't have posted Joe's gay porn photo because now I see it every time I open this thread.

Aside from that, here is my review:

Usra - Nice guys, ok sound. I wanted more from them, and I think one day they will get there. For now, they are still developing. The guitar player did some fun sweeps out of nowhere though. Completely out of place but still kinda cool.

HYEO - We played sloppy as hell but had a lot of fun. Mike did great for his first show with. Keep in mind he's only had about 6 practices to learn everything, plus he wrote one song with us. I can't wait till I get my Butcher back, the Crate I borrowed from Chris needs to be retubed so badly... Microphonics cause it to squeak and it has mud for tone.

Reign In Ruin - Not my thing, but they had a lot of fun and energy. Old school kind of early-mid 90's Sepultura / Pantera metal. Also nice guys, which is a big thing when you're playing a show with a band you've never played with before. I think they could do well with people into that stuff.

Astronomer - Impressive! I've seen this band a bunch of times. Then there was about a year hiatus, and they've grown much in that time. The two Joe's are all that's really left of the original line-up, and Joe Cobra was unavailable. Aaron did well filling in, much better than when that guy filled in for Hivesmasher before he joined. I can see Astronomer doing bigger things once they get the chance.

Deny The Crown - Well, I've been playing more or less metal and hardcore shows on a very regular basis for the last 4 or 5 years, and honestly, I can't get into mosh metal anymore. It's just not where I am at. The Poison The Well cover was fun, but they also emphasized the breakdown parts more than in the actual song. They did have energy, they did have presence, so they got that going for them. I would suggest one thing: play fewer songs. I think there was about 10 or 11 songs, but you only need aboout 6 or 7 for a set, if that. At any rate, I should see them again so I can give a more fair review...I was kinda tired and VERY hungry by then.
