Show some respect to the man Motherfucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
God this is the toughest thing i have ever had to learn.
the easiest thing for me besides crystal mountain is the control denied song. chuck's vocal parts were really weird on a lot of the songs and hard to memorize. the way he broke up the lyrics and their placement in the riffs seem so unconventional to me. i'm a guy who sometimes forgets his own lyrics, so getting this stuff down has been really tough.
I've been studying the tracks we picked and have been playing along on practice pad kit for a month. I hand picked the set list myself, and and I still want to hang myself. Every drummer that's played with Death is awesome. Misanthrope and Bite the Pain are so incredibly hard.
awesome, too bad it says its on thursday december 3rd.
it doesn't say it's on thursday december 3rd. the december 3rd in the headline is the day the article was posted on blabbermouth. if you look at every post from today, it says "- Dec. 3, 2007" at the end of all of them.
Not to steal DS' thunder. Their cover's badass. And it's a real band, not just one guy playing guitar with computer backing tracks and growling way too close to the mic because it wouldn't pick it up otherwise.
Frost toured for a week on a broken foot. But then again outrageous quantities of semen applied directly to the fracture may have had some medicinal effect that I cannot confidently dispute. . . just sayin'
damn i wish i knew human better, i would totally jump in. i wouldn't want to butcher it though. what's up mortalis? y'all need to patch something together... michael jordan played through all those little nagging injuries! tell your drummer to skip out on da club and all his gangsta homeboyz and get his act together for this show. pfft... goddamn str8 brimmaz.

can anyone bring a video camera and film all the bands? i'd do it but i lack a video camera.

i am bringing a camera. i just need someone to actually shoot it.
post by aril at Dec 6,2007 8:44am
I'd do it (like I've done in the past with some bands) but it's my son's birthday and I won't be able to make it.
Goodluck to all the bands that are playing though!
I made the mistake of writing out all of the drum tabs for every song, and did so in three different notebooks. When we got together to jam, I discovered that Lack of Comprehension was the one song I was missing, so we cut that, but we also cut within the mind to save some. Still, hopefully the set will still kick ass.
post by sinislazy at Dec 6,2007 3:05pm
We were smart enough to limit our set to 5 songs, because more than that wouldn't have happened.

wtf could you have possibly decided to come back and edit your post 13 minutes later about?
Go Drink Paint (2:25:24 PM): The only thing good about Death is when Chuck Schlumburger's brain exploded and nobody wanted to pay for his medical bills.
Unfortunately I can't make this show anymore. 3 of my clients said they absolutely NEED their illustrations done tonight, so it looks like I'm screwed. Good luck to everyone and have fun, for those of you who can make it.

that was a great time. thanks again to chris for putting together the best metal thursday yet, and a fitting tribute to chuck. all the bands were great. i really enjoyed myself tonight. RIP chuck. you are still missed.

i had a good time tonight. it was just super lame how about at least 40 people bailed on this show. oh yeah, and one of the kids from mortalis had his parents there - OMG how embarrassing!?!
Don't ask me dude. People started yelling out for us to play one more song and we didn't have any more Death covers, so we played one of ours and the Carcass cover. Better than just saying, "nope, sorry" and walking off stage I guess.

haha jacksons parents rule dude
and in other news you have the hi hat clutch that i let jackson borrow that he let you borrow.
Mortalis got the boot after the first song of living monstrosity, the door guy came upstairs to tell us we had to leave, lame.
great show. Mortalis was the most impressive. i didn't care too much for the vocalist for Living Monstrosity at first, he had way too much of a hardcore sound to his voice, but somehow that changed like half way through and it ended up sounding really good. my head and neck hurt so bad.

don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it sounded bad, it was just weird hearing a hardcore sound to Chuck's shriekiness. but like i said it changed a little and sounded great. Symbolic sounded fantastic.
ya man, i was trying to go for the lower/mid sound he had on Scream Bloody Gore and Spiritual, and then go for the higher sound he had on Symbolic and the later albums. But I've always had trouble hitting that mid just right. Just goes to show, Chuck Schuldiner is the fucking man, and impossible to imitate and compete with. I'm glad symbolic came out well, thanks coming out and showing Death the support it deserves. .

i was tremendously disappointed with the accursed on so many levels. the singer had a fuckin music stand with the lyrics on stage and still fucked up most of the lines. then they felt they should take it upon themselves to play an original after there death songs were done-- was that a fucking joke? dreaded silence had the lyrics up on stage too.. some people actually paid to get in and hear death songs as a tribute to one of their favorite bands-- they pay to see the last two bands hack through their sets!

I was hard pressed not to find most of the people in that room having a shit-ton of fun. If you take it that seriously perhaps you're better off listening to the discs. The Accursed played an extra song and no one gave a shit because 95% of the room knew them and are their friends. Your money didn't buy you that fulfillness you were looking for? I shed a tear for you.
post by sinislazy at Dec 7,2007 12:16pm
Ken has a hard time remembering his OWN lyrics - it wasn't that he didn't know them. I'd say we did a pretty good job overall...Yes, we had some mistakes, but it's not like Chuck wrote easy shit to play. As for The Accursed, people wanted more, they were out of stuff, so they played it. You could have just left and saved yourself the trouble.
post by anonymous at Dec 7,2007 12:25pm
by the way, door cost was a whopping FIVE DOLLARS - someone's just trolling. maybe this dude is used to those professional cover acts, i don't know. never mind the hardworking bands who spend their time writing and practicing their own material. SHAME ON YOU!
snarkiness aside, I think overall it sounded pretty damn tight. you can always complain about something, geez, get over it and enjoy yourself.

post by jimtom at Dec 7,2007 12:57pm
ooooh nice let's start the anon shit talking. let's not make this shit too personal. someone above posted that he thought our singer sounded hardcore early on (??), and no one jumped down his throat. everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if their opinion is that every band laid a steaming hot egg for a set last night.
i did think we were only playing death covers, otherwise living monstrosity was toying with the idea of maybe playing a decapitated song. however, we felt it would be disrespectful to death and the memory of chuck schuldiner, along with the fans who came out to see a tribute to chuck show.
all in all, i was happy with our sound. however, i am still wicked pissed about messing up on the chorus of spiritual, the second chorus of empty words, and the worst one which was missing the cue to the first fast part in symbolic. i spaced out and lost count. after our set, i was so fucking pissed i did that. oh well, this material is challenging and i must have gotten distracted.
can't wait to see the videos. whose camera was the one on the tall tripod by the bar? i would like to grab a copy of the whole show if possible.

post by sinislazy at Dec 7,2007 1:12pm
There's a difference between saying that you weren't a fan of the vocals, and saying that a band "hacked" their way through a set. Also, if you guys thought it was "disrespectful" that The Accursed played non-Death songs, Chris should have told them not to when people asked them to keep playing.
post by jimtom at Dec 7,2007 1:32pm
what i said is that WE thought that US playing a decapitated song would have inappropriate for a Death tribute show.
i have no idea what chris thought of the accursed playing an original. they did seem rather eager to play it though. if they planned on getting a request for an encore (obv), they should have had another Death song prepared to play. this is just MY opinion though.
whatever, the focus was supposed to be on chuck and his great memory. thanks again to chris for a really awesome idea and putting this show together. thanks to chris and charlie for joining up and working hard for many practices and takes and countless individual practice hours to try and do our absolute best covering these songs. my apologies for those mistakes i made, i am still really upset i did that.
thanks again to everyone who came out and showed their support for Death.
I was going to show up to this.. but the show I went to before to catch another band's first set ended up having them on too late.
sorry, I'm sure this was awesome.
post by sinislazy at Dec 7,2007 1:41pm
I don't think they planned on playing the original, and I don't think they really planned on people shouting out for more after they said they were done. In any case, I think all the bands played good sets, and this shit is overlooking the fact that it was a fun time all around.

i was wondering where was you. brutal Dan wasn't their either... Metal Thursday just isn't the same without him.
Personally, I'm tremendously disappointed with fans who pay very little to see a great show and then nit pick on unimportant bullshit. Everyone in my band has far more crucial responsibilities outside the band, not to mention the fact that we've got original material to write and rehearse, so pardon the fuck out of us if we can't completely memorize a set of covers with one rehearsal under our belts, just the night before. I thought we were OK after having only had one practice together. Shit, I'll admit that I played with notes just in case I got lost, and Jon did the same with the Lyrics, as did Ken from Dreaded Silence. You want to see it all done perfectly without cutting corners and cheat notes? Resurrect the man and ask him to do it for you, I'm sure it'll get you far. Better yet, how about you get up there and do it better, then I'll be impressed. Nobody played a perfect set last night, because WE'RE NOT DEATH!!! BUT, all the bands had fun and gave it their all for the crowd, so to have you run crying to the internet because your fucking dreams were crushed is nothing short of laughable.
Regarding the end of our set, we didn't take anything upon ourselves. We rehearsed five songs, so when people wanted us to keep playing and we didn't have anymore covers lined up, we improvised by playing a new song that none of our friends up in Worcester had gotten a chance to hear yet, and then rocked out a Carcass cover, by request jackass. I figured I'd explained that well enough the first time it was brought up, but some people just don't listen I guess. If you take yourself that seriously, you're the one who's a fucking joke, and you should stop coming to shows until you lighten up and get some sense. Anyone who's disappointed in the lackluster performances and inability of those great bands to live up to your expectations, the complaint line starts about three steps off the edge of a cliff, douche.
Mortalis ruled, Living Monstrosity ruled, and Dreaded Silence Ruled, and hopefully we did everything we could to rock the fuck out as well, all for the memory of the mighty Chuck Schuldiner, so thank you everyone for coming out and enjoying the show with us.
wah wah wah! the accursed and dreaded silence used cheat sheets. wah wah wah! the accursed played an original and a carcass cover. wah wah wah! i'm a miserable little faggot whose sense of humor consists of posting the same dumb youtube clip in every thread i post in.
Metal people are are sensitive. It's a show. It's supposed to be fun. If you want mathematically precise renditions of the songs stay in your mommy's basement and listen your Death records. Go kill yourself.

That won't do him a lot of good even if it were possible. I think the real Death played almost as sloppily on "Live In L.A." as any of the bands did last night. Well, not counting our false start to "Trapped In A Corner" :(
i'm very bummed that i didn't get to witness the drunken antics of one Metal Dan. apparently he was tired and had to work in the morning.
Yes, it was pretty hilarious when I called to tell him that he was a loser for not being there. Oh well... At least you were there to witness the infamous HELICOPTER OF DOOM! LOL!
Yeah. Good sound, all the shit on the walls and ceiling is weird/cool and the staff is awesome. The bartender is vegan. When we played there I was ranting how tofu was for faggots, commies and women. When we were done he gave me a PBR and a shot of whiskey on the house. Love this joint.
At any other bar, Chris would probably get kicked out for lifting a 6'5" tall man over his head and spinning him around in the middle of the pit. At Ralph's, everyone just laughs.
Hahaha... one of these days someone is gonna catch Ray's boot in their face and they won't be laughing. Until then, fuck it, the helicopter of doom will remain a Metal Thursday tradition!
I love how that one bartender was in the bit with a case of Narragansett.

im sorry guys, i really had a great time even though the last bands were sloppy. you weren't that bad and if i knew you didn't take yourselves and your music seriously i guess i wouldn't have complained... cuz from the way you were talking about it here you seemed to think you were gonna really put on a show. my bad.

Seriously, No one that played was a reincarnation of death. And yeah I had a cheat sheet, and so did DS, so fucking what? It was about having fun.
As for playing an original, I even looked at chris and asked him if we should and he said go for it. we didnt plan on playing any encores, but hearing people shout one more, what do you do? but you know what you are absolutely right, after people called for an encore we should have just told the crowd to fuck off and walk off the stage. now thats metal!
The Death tribute show ended after The Accursed played Misanthrope. What happened after that is called "let the drunk & rowdy crowd have 10 more minutes of fun before they have to go home, get 4 hours of sleep & go to their jobs with a hangover tomorrow."
I had a great time, crybaby cunts aside. The mess ups were funny, everyone was there to have a great time and sing along and I'd say that was accomplished beautifully. Great job everyone! Don't let some seven year old girl posting on RTTP in between dusting his Chuck shrine in his mom's basement get to you.

99% of the fuckups in our set were our drummer's fault anyways. That's what he gets for being a lameass and refusing to practice with us until the week before the show. Good thing we're kicking him out.

Hey, who took those pictures of The Accursed? They're pretty awesome.
I took ALL the pics, even the ones of myself. I recently grafted a dead girl's hand to my penis and can now take self-portrait photos, because I am awesome.

Come on, everyone knows it was you.

we normally jam on tuesday nights and saturday during the day. let me know when you want to swing by and grab that. thanks again for letting me borrow that, otherwise i would have been screwed. the accursed drummer lent me his but it didn't fit on the DW hi hat stand.
So does anyone know the dude who videotaped the whole show from the tripod by the bar?
as far as i know, there was something wrong with the camera battery. i know he filmed us and the accursed, but i'm not sure how much of it all he got. i haven't seen any footage yet, so i'm not sure what's up with it. i'll probably see him sometime next week and find out what came out.

Cool. I think he had it set up during the earlier sets too, maybe he wasn't recording though. I just got the Living Monstrosity set footage from Scott the other day. It needs a little work but I'll get that up on youtube soon.
Your voice/stage presence has improved so much over the years, I'm super proud of you. Even if you are a huge fag.
aww, thanks, pammy. when you first saw my band play, i was probably near my worst in my battle with acid reflux. it took a lot of my voice away from me. i was actually better before than i am now, but i've been working back to get back to that level the last couple years. i still have a ways to go. any acid reflux flareups set me back a bit. my stage presence has definitely improved, but it is still very much tied to the amount of alcohol in my system. more booze = better stage presence. less booze = more stage fright.
