hmm. relapse. I dont think they have a very good line up most of the time. i like some bands on there, but they usually pick the ones i dont like for compilations and (now) a dvd.

I'll probably just download it somewhere if I can find it. All I want to see is Cephalic, Mastodon, Today is the Day, Bongzilla, Pig Destroyer, and The End.

__________________

the sound quality for ALL the bands was amazing with exception of today is the day who were the roughest sounding band over the weekend. cephalic carnage had pretty bad sound too but still kicked ass!!

didnt see the balcony bar bands cause they were so strict at the festival (i got ID'd with only a month to go until i was 21)

(PLUS no smoking anywhere apart from the blacony upstairs! nice fucking rules trocadero!!)

Ah you lucky bastard! Who would you say took the show; if any?

What's the bet he'll say Cephalic Carnage?

By the way, diseasecalledman, I like your name. Origin rule.

20 bucks.

My Origin shirt is to big for me..when will they understand us? I demand metal t-shirt equality!

__________________

Haha, what'd you get, an XL?

Nope, a fucking medium..and its still a tad to big. Its not really the size, its the sleeve length which is excessive and makes it feel to big.

__________________

Yeah, I can barely fit into L's, it's always the fucking sleeves. I look like a bit of a clown wearing them, but I'm metal as fuck, so I don't care. HEHE.

Jeez, you guys must be tiny! I'm only 5"8 and XL's fit OK.

__________________

I'm a skinny bastard. I know what you meen Nihilist..I feel like I'm wearing a moomoo.

__________________

Yes I'm quite tiny. 5'5 or so.

ha ha, little metalheads ... i guess i cant talk, im only about 5"10', but then again im not scrawny

__________________

I only see tall (6"2+) metalheads at gigs and there's always about 50 of them (usually standing in front of me!). I wonder where they hide when they're not obstructing my view at gigs...

__________________

Hell, i'm a skinny bastard with long hair that looks like George Fisher (vocalist, Cannibal Corpse) still, i can wear an L size and it looks o.k. I think i'm about 5'8"-5'10" roughly.

Damn i wish Nile would come over 'ere sometime, that would be soooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

I hate to say this Dyvim, but you've just missed them. They played Manchester on December 6th and, quite frankly, they were nothing short of amazing. The support (Misery Index and Dew Scented) were excellent too. At the very earliest I don't think they'll be back until the end of 2004 unless we're very lucky. Spring 2005 is more likely.

__________________

To add to the digression: I'm about 5'7-5'8 and all my friends are much taller than me which makes me look even shorter, but I don't mind. Short guys make up for the length in the pants . Nile is good live, but thier sound is very hard to reproduce live with good quality so if your not familiar with the songs, they are hard to enjoy.

Back to the subject: I've heard rumours of them taking off alot of those artists and replacing them with some fucking hardcore bands. Gag I hope not!
