I said when Kym came by it got a little messy...

Then it got messier...
Stay tuned...

sorry Noot, no crackers.

Children of Doom

The OTHER vocalist I havent mentioned that sang for St Vitus on the C.O.D. record.
Christian Lindersson, he rules as well. This record is pretty fuckin heavy.



Children of Doom

ST VITUS.

Ok I bet we all have a band that we always wish we had seen, with a particular line up etc, that we are pretty sure we never will.

The first band on my list, Scott Weinrich (Wino) era St Vitus.
After first hearing St Vitus on an SST complilation in 86 i believe, it blew me away. Yes, metal on SST, THE ONLY METAL EVER ON SST.

The first St Vitus with Scott Reegers singing is the first real DOOM metal record. They took what BlackSabbath did and made it heavier and darker. But then came Wino, they made the record "Born Too Late" that to this day is heavier than every fuckin band out there that thinks they are heavy, period.

Then comes the St Vitus "Live" record. The one record I wanted to see live, I really couldnt have imagined what it would gbe like to see them live. I knew the Wino had his side projects, Spirit CAravan, the Hidden Hand, and the band I will see in March, Shrinebuilder.

but

St Vitus played in LA, the first time since 1988, on jan 28, 2010.

Wino

Dave Chandler - Guitar

Wino and Marc Adams on Bass

Then it got crazier, after an hour of St Vitus playing like no other, the drummer Henry Vasquez hitting the drums as hard as he possibly can and Marc and David playin with it turned up to 11, Wino walks off stage.

and Scott Reagers walked on stage to sing the most amazing and most covered St Vitus song off the first record "Burial at Sea"

holy fucking shit!

that was amazing and probably will never happen again!
Then Wino came back and closed the show with "Born too Late"

It took my ears took a long time to stop ringing, I dont think anything will beat it.

St Vitus go there and buy the Live CD if you dont have it.

Twitter + Emily Marilyn = NYC Hardcore = Doom Metal

you might wonder how that works...

OK, i have a Twitter Account, rarely use it but what the hell, I follow some random people and whatnot on there. Feel free to follow me if thats your thing, i think its a bit weird but fuck it.

so, thursday morning, i see a tweet (AACK) from Emily Marilyn, (Shes rad) saying that Agnostic Front is playing with her bf's band Viva Hate that night at the Redwood Bar.

AF is one of the best hardcore bands EVER, PERIOD, I don"t care what you say its true. So i did a search and read that on this tour they were going to play the entire album "Victim in Pain" back to back!!! Holy shit, ok fuck I have to go.

BADASS.

Roger Miret

Vinnie fuckin Stigma

Nice socks!!!

Ok it was kick ass to see them in a bar the size of my living room. But it gets better.

I run into my buddy Vince there, dont see him all that often, the first words out of his mouth are "You going to St.Vitus?"

Uhhh, excuse me???

"yeah they are playing the end of the month downtown."

Ok, St Vitus is the heaviest band ever and the very top of the list of bands I have to see if Wino ever decides to put it together for them to play here.

So, yes, it's true.

and the Saviours rule as well!!!

So, thanx to Twitter and the one and only Emily Marilyn (You fuckin RULE, Darlin!!!) I get to see the greatest metal band of all time, if it wasn't for her post I would have missed it, run into Vince and he would have told me and I would have sat and cried.

I like Twitter now, even tho it weirds me out.
