"im very good friends with HOURCAST. They are going to go big soon!" hah, I luv dover.

network, the: this is the second time I've seen then since they recorded the new CD. The first time was in an american legion so, though awesome, I wasn't able to hear some of the changes. They played all of their old tracks, plus one new one. If you have heard all their demo tracks and 7" you heard all the songs they did except one, a new one. I'm assuming it will be one the new CD. One thing that is different is that pete's vocals changed when they recorded the pig portrait demo. You cane hear that he is yell/harsh talking instead of is maniac, undecernable scream before. I know on the PP track, it sounds like the mic is on overdrive. All the times that I could hear his vocals, that's what they sounded like. The new track definitely sounded like a network track, but there was some different guitar parts that kevin was doing. At some points, he looked like he was doing long division in his head. Even stainless Scott is pushing himself. With all the guest vocals, he is abusing his voice extra hard, dropping a nut on the low end of his vocals. There wasn't any bloody abuse during there set, but watching them makes think back to the rumors I head of this "insane band" that came out of no where and only played one show every. Anyhow, with all that, the sound guy didn't seem to know what to do with them and I thought the mix for them was terrible. must have been too much going to for the sound guy to get it right.

burn the children: they told the_network they were like BTBAM meetings alice in chains or something like that. I didn't really hear the BTBAM sound, but I think that they grungy 90's sound to a lot of their slower parts, but then they would go into a hard part. Grunge ver 2006? Maybe. I didn't get any additude from them. the singer talked to me after the show as I was leaving and he seemed really nice. their music was really tight, but it sounded a bit too much like tool for my tastes.

NeverSayNever: there was some Radio DJ talked before them.. He mention a lot of bands that I don't want to hear. Each time I see them, they remind me more of Dehumanized. I was thinking this when they brought out a new song. This song had a lot more riffage out of deicide than pantera. I don't think it was as "catchy" as their other songs, but it's musicially far superior. I guess they should just add some more "live free or die"s in to the song and people will be all about it. nearing the end of their set, they shouted out me. mcmahon even talked about the porno and encouraged the peoples there to joint the forum. I hope that doesn't increase my requests for angry hill or hourcast.

gallows: even without the second guitar player, they sounded a million times better than the last time I saw them. jeff had come in late from his job (dress rehearsal for a play). I was really happy to see them playing again. mike's vocals have gotten much better. it must me all those hits he's taken to the head from the bass. at one point he went back so that jeff could scream in to the mix and omar screamed into the mic on the bass cab.
