Grimness is lost when gum is chewed. that is all.

kid sucks.
and so do the duck duck goosing pussies that were at the cynic show, doing a wave in the front row.

Fuck Opeth back patch kid too.

Waaaaaait a minute. I havent seen that kid in years. Was it the kid that had the Opeth back patch with skulls all around it?
Of course, skulls come to mind when I hear Opeth...SM:10

Is this the knucklehead that doesn't even look old enough to drive that is always at the palladium wearing corpse paint no matter what band is playing?

That's him. It's actually more the fact someone made an Opeth backpatch more than the actual kid.

Corpsepaint kid came to party at the red chord show and delivered. Y'all be hatin.

FUCK YOU ELITIST SCUM WE ARE NICE PEOPLE AND REAL METALHEADS

3 different messages posted at the same time. This is going to be.......

.....puts on sunglasses...



A Hot Topic...



YEAAAHHHH!!!

Also when CONSTANTLY fixing your hair.

Don't want your hair in your make-up? Shave your head and stop being a Juggalo.

FUCK that kid. I nearly fell over laughing when I saw that. I saw him at the Pavilion in Boston during Megadeth in 2007 or so, and never saw him again. My hipster gf at the time got mad at me for judging him.

Wait...people stil listen to Opeth?

If you've chosen Opeth as the patch to represent you in life you should be judged and booed constantly.

Let's face it: we all did goofy stuff as young uns, myself included. But this shit is outrageous and tramples on what metal represents.
You got the people who have the valid argunent "stop caring about other people, it's about the music maaaaan" but alas, metal is more than music. It's a subculture that is losing its value and decency with the new fans.
I wont rant about this again, but these kids are a horrible representation of metal's unwritten laws on being a social counter/sub culture. In reality, it doesn't REALLY matter, but if someone truly cares about metal and how it's drastically changed, then awesome.
But don't listen to me, I work a yuppie job and dont do patches. I was always a band shirt guy.

And yes I'm an elitist. Suck it.

B b but half the point of corpsepaint is getting your greasy hair stuck in the paint all over your forehead, it adds to the aesthetic, UGH even Alexandre Herchcovitch understood that.

I bet he doesn't even do his waterlines

was it at least a pre-Blackwater Park patch?

From what I remember, homemade with skulls. Wasnt the real logo either.

The patch in question had candles and skulls or some shit. But not cool skulls queer prog skulls.

The patch in question was the Ghost Reveries cover. As someone who's spent far too much time stabbing themselves in the fingers building his jacket, I try not to judge anyone who actually goes out and builds their own, but I'm still unsure of the logical leap between "I'm going to build a kutte" and "I'm going to build it around an Opeth backpatch".

By criticizing someone who made their own jacket, aren't you all being equally egregious as the style police? Metal is MAINLY about the music, and all this subculture talk is subjective. As I see it, most of the culture encourages inside-the-box thought and not worth your valuable time anyway.

@posbleak: I am STILL looking for decent product for my waterlines.

But if Rttp is not mocking someone or something its boring as shit.

only carving Opeth and Mac logos into your scrotum is metal now

While all this may be true, it is still more enjoyable to make fun of dorks.

I'll always have aril's flip-flopping posts to mock

Precisely. Mocking and bullying are the foundations of RTTP.

lol this thread.

Nothing wrong with being style police.
And what Kevord said. Site sucks, these kids suck.

ITT: suck.

There's no room for hatred in metal.





SM: ∞

is it too late to make an xxxxxOnxBrokenxWingsxxXxxx1 butt flap? are they still really hip and "down with it"?

I more or less post mere opinions for the sake of discussion, and try to take in all others' opinions on the same subject matter. not flip-flopping per se, just discussing. Everyone has the right to speak their mind, and most rttp people usually don't unless provoked. Hence, threads with extreme opinions (duck duck goose, ghost, dream theater, lol@nebm facebook, etc. etc.) and subsequent ease of tone as more discuss

I thoughy Kevord was going to kill me in the Ghost thread.

If you go to shows at the Palladium, you deserve whatever bullshit you see before you.

If it's not OK to be the style police anymore then you'll have to excuse me while I self-immolate

Also if you want your waterlines done right this is the only shit that's real:

I understand why you make the posts you do, but it never ceases to amuse me. Philanthropic trolling.

Its impossible to be into any hobby your entire life withought getting a little pissed at newbs doing it wrong.

@posbizzle: If anyone has license to be style police, it's you. And that stuff looks familiar, got a purchase link? For... my sister... that I don't have.

yeah but the palladium is like the only place that constantly gets the tours and has a decent sound system (mainly upstairs), as well as space, parking (r.i.p. the free lot on the side), and is pretty easy to get to. i would have put sausages, but its been a long time since i have been there and an even longer time since i have seen the sausage dude there.

The Palladium is a venue designed to attract young n00bz and outright posers. It's a huge place and probably has huge rent to pay, and having only "true" metalheads isn't gonna pay the bills. Of course you're going to have tons of douchebags who throw up the horns to get attention and listen to shitty bands and just generally fart up the joint.

Only not wasting your time seeing bands there is real.

Lol I did get trolled but I wasn't mad.

Here you go bro, it even says it's 'a cult favorite' on the site so you know it's legit:
http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P288822

Takes a little trick to apply but I'll show you how to do it without giving yourself an eye infection if you want

I'm a want to be Conservationist.

This kind of reminds me of another problem I have with metal... the true fans of the genre are much more likely to give a washed up band the benefit of the doubt. So Cynic and Mayhem and what not get booked there... these bands put out their best material close to or over two decades ago. I mean, if you go to these shows then maybe you'll get a decent performance, maybe the bands will even sound okay, but it's just not the personal experience you get at a smaller show. As much as I liked seeing Ghoul there a few weeks ago, I know that show would have been a thousand times better if a different setting. Same thing with seeing Municipal Waste for the first time at Lupo's and then having much more fun seeing them at places like the Living Room and Volume 11 Tavern in Raleigh that don't have the barrier and aren't massive places (though you could easily accuse both of those places of the same things I've said about the Palladium, I suppose)...

I'm about to Aril myself, so I'm just gonna stop right here.

People still care about being called "real metalheads?"

Man, I feel old

I want to Aril you, Lamp.

only being real is real

i generally hate seeing bands downstairs at the palladium, but ive never really been disappointed with upstairs events. sound cuts through much better up there and its small enough to feel "intimate" while being large enough to feel like you're at some place thats not someones parents' basement. i love being able to hear everything more so than having the band's chin sweat drizzle into my gaping asshole. if i wanted to not hear anything but treble, i would just crank the left side of my EQ on winamp, and lower the mid and right side to -400000000000.

I will say one of the things I like about going to small shows is seeing a consistent, dedicated crew of folks that you know are there for the right reasons... I'd imagine it's what being a regular at a bar is like, only people are creating stuff instead of just sitting around drinking.

Ralphs

Yeah, Ralph's seems legit. If it was more my style of music I'd probably be there all the time, though as it stands now I've never been. I view the Whitney House in Hartford the way people around here view Ralph's.

I'm not gonna lie I have never not had fun at a Palladium show. I know it sucks and I don't get to Worcester very often at all but it's the combination of smoking in the girls' room, moshing with obese teenagers, cheap strong drinks and the fond memory of getting to touch Pete Steele's hair when I was like sixteen

Even shows where I've had a broken ankle, hated all the bands and everyone in the audience, or the time some piece of shit bought rounds of beers for fucking Blackguard on my tab. Still had fun. I dunno am I doing it wrong?

I've seen some of those same Palladium kids around for a couple of years. What I wonder is, how long will it be until they're old enough to attend 21+ shows? Will they inevitably be assimilated into the collective? 10 years from now, will an old washed up RTTP person say, "Hey! I remember when you were 'corpse paint kid'."?

Old washed up rttp person? Isnt that what we already are?

ehhhh whaaaaaa?

I'd rather go to warehouse shows any day where I can bring my own beer for much cheaper, smoke weed in plain sight, and know that asshole who intentionally go the wrong way in the circle pit won't be tolerated.

That depends on the band IMO....

If I'm going to see, let's say, Young Widows, I want great sound
On the other hand, if I'm going to see Shitstorm, you're damn right I want to be in a dingy basement with the constant threat of catching a mic or a headstock to the dome.

@posbleak: Khôl Kajal sounds pretty kvlt indeed. And you're having your own fun at a metal show? CUT THAT SHIT OUT

THIS

The "you're doing it wrong" that I get pissed at is kids that get pissed when they get bumped and causing a fight because of it, not understanding that body contact is a part of the show, things like that.
As long as everyone's having fun without intentionally afftecing others having fun, I don't see the harm in it.

agreed, my disposition towards the overall performances at the Exhumed show aside, i still had fun. to pay to go to a show and not have fun because of the sound, or the performance, or the douchey audience would be ridiculous. i just drink and laugh. hell i still go to ICP shows just for the entertainment value.

I only go to the Palladium to make fun of the bands, everyone in the crowd, the sound guy, and the drink prices. Having a good time is not a good time.

agreed as well. i hate watching people standing at the edge of the pit holding a flimsy plastic cup full of Bud Light get pissed when someone runs into them and they dump it all over their girlfriend. buy a can you can maneuver, or don't stand there.

This is the stuff that's up right here.

BUY A CAN YOU CAN-MANEUVER

Yeti's post reminds me of another -1 for the Palladium...

Any time I want to go into the pit at a smaller show, I just put my beer down in a corner and pick it back up when I'm ready to. I wouldn't trust myself to do that with a crowd as shitty as the Palladium crowd.

I lost 2 pabst cans due to crush syndrome at this show and was totally fine with it. If you are at a metal show and get butthurt over spilled beer you are most definitely doing it wrong.

Only Misery Index cry over spilt PBR cans.

ITT: The Starter jacket gang becomes real and goes to shows only to pour PBR on people

YES

Haha, well I'm not saying I would fault anyone for accidentally knocking over my beer or something, I do always make sure to put it way the fuck out of the way so that doesn't happen. And as far as taking a spill from someone else, accidents occur. I just can't shake the feeling that if I did that at the Palladium, someone else would pick it up and start drinking it.

Bigger shows always involve being around people who irritate the crap out of you. It comes with the territory.

Because my job is boring today, here are some people who bug the crap out of me at shows:

-Idiots who go in or near the pit with a drink then get mad when it spills everywhere...like it's a big shock that someone bumped into them. For the rest of the night, people slip on the wet floor, and the pit looks like a pee wee hockey game.

-Pathetic, clingy boyfriends who insist on standing behind and hugging their 4 foot tall girlfriend like they're protecting her when in reality, the poor girl serves as a human shield.

-The guy in front of you who keeps elbowing and headbutting you in the face when it's too crowded to move anywhere else

-The person behind you who gets mad because you're headbanging, and OMG your hair touched them or you bumped into them.

-Butthurt, insecure females who spend all night giving every other female the look of death. What crawled up your butt and died?

-Hardcore fans and dumb kids who think it's awesome to show off their ninja moves

-Crowd surfers who kick you in the head and/or keep trying to crowd surf after they've been dropped a few times

-Creeps who think they can get away with groping a girl just because it's crowded

-People who bounce up and down like it's a Blink 182 show.

I'm sure I can think of more, but work is becoming more interesting.
/end rant

I am a firm believer that pits should be violent. If someone is throwing kicks and you are dumb enough to run into one, you are an idiot. At the same time though, people who stay at the edge of a pit and do that are pussies. Create room for your flailing or GTFO

-People who whistle really loud just to show off their volume skills. (Mainly a problem at sit-down/corporate rock concertrs)

-People that go to shows only to tell everyone about how awesome their band is.

I am glad I am not the only one that thinks other females at shows are bat shit crazy

95% of females that attend metal shows are crazy.

95% of males that attend metal shows like crazy women.

95% of Samanthas are crazy women who murder innocent stink bugs in bleach.

There is crazy in a good way then the girls that are always up on the cross about something. They just need to lighten up and have fun.

OCCUPY SAMANTHAS VAGINA

THIS

I happen to have clear evidence that bug was a pervert. It was trying to get in my closet and rifle through my dirty underwear. It deserved to die.

You have a dirty underwear closet? Gross.

If you go into a pit and your foot goes up to your waistline for any reason while you are simotaneously maintaining balance, you are a piece of shit.

This conversation is now 95% lulz worthy.

These are my favorites, it only takes one push to knock them both down. Usually at least one of them is a mallgoth too which makes the abuse even more fun

Ha ha! That would be gross. Duh... dirty laundry basket goes in closet, therefore, rest of room is not so gross.

This thread just became scientific.

i'm thinking this kid was at the shamrock cafe when he was telling me satyr wouldn't let him in the tour bus. cool fucking story, hermano

Oh my god someone needs to tell this kid to blend his foundation down past his jawline for crying out loud

I don't think I've ever seen that kid without corpse paint. I probably wouldn't recognize him without it.

This thread just became Bravo channel.

Are you kidding? Tim Gunn and Tyra would just film a special two-part crossover episode of them spitting on this kid

I am all that is serious.

- the person behind you gets mad because you are 95% taller than them

Dudes pointing out that you both have the same bands shirt on. Cause if you both own Immolation shirts your clearly bro's. Or dudes who see your shirt and scream the bands name.

I'm shitting and reading this thread. I just LOLed and got a hemorrhoid. Thanks.

CAN'T HELP THAT I'M A SHORT MEXICAN, TALL ASS MOFUCKA. I swear you tall assholes do this on purpose.

-The creepy guy you barely know who acts like a pervert, follows you around all night, insists on buying you multiple drinks, and when someone accidentally bumps into him, you feel a GIANT erection poke you in the leg.

Giant erection? At least I know I am safe from this accusation.

That's caled flirting in some circles, deal with it!

IT'S A TRAP!!

Were the drinks worth the brushing boner?

Flirting, stalking, attempted date rape... Tomato/Tomahto.

pretty sure I gave this dude a collapsed lung during Destruction - elbow's are powerful tools

Brushing Boner would be a good prog band name.

I sense sarcasm.........

Only throbbing cocks are real.

I had a feeling this thread would wind up at erections...

Only Corpse Paint Kid's Throbbing GIANT boner poking beers in the mosh pit while he steps on stink bugs is real.

If there's gonna be any facebook harassment, please mark this as /r/

Also, is it creepier if its a GIANT erecton, or a small one? lol

This kid would be so pumped this many people were attentioning at him

125 posts and only 6 or them are pictures. impressive.

ONLY COLOSSAL ERECTIONS ARE REAL

bennyhillifier

hahahaha holy shit

LOL...how so?

/b/ was never good... or aliens, or robots from the future, or mutants, whatever.
