Camie Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Bloody sore ankle from alst nights gig!My Minds Weapon had fantastic set, and seemed much tighter than last tiem I seen them at Moshulu. Also glad to see more energy and effort put into their live performances.10 Easy Wish were on form again, one of their main assets is their communication with the fans and makes the set much more enjoyable:)Quuers were brilliant although their crowd interaction wasnt great and didnt put in a lot of energy it was still great to hear their songs and had a brilliant time. Was fucking ace to see them end on Ramones cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scott 5FD Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 The Queers were awesome. for anyone interested* Five Finger Discount kinda have the same sound as The Queers, we're just not as good........yet. It was cool to see them cover 'Rock Away Beach' by The Ramones, and hey waddya know, 5FD do a Ramones cover too.*this will be no-one.

Guest neil ex Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 i thought my mind's weapon sounded better than they did on the 3 track demo, well much tighter at least. ben's voice was a bit better aswell, but it still sounded bland and boring, but jamesy, however has a pretty decent screaming voice. although dan is technically a pretty gifted guitarist, the fancy, widdly guitar parts (the harmonics in places were the most memorable) seemed uneeded and sort of put in there mostly for show. they tried to be energetic, but never really delivered/acheived. it was a pretty average performance. the only positive notes for me were on the performance side of things. the songs were poor i thought. they just sounded completely average, trendy and uninspiring. it was as if they set out to write songs that sound like other 'in' bands of the moment instead of trying to find any particular sound of their own. if that was the case, then they definately acheived that. i can't really remember any of the songs particularly well either. so on a whole, i thought it was a pretty average performance of a set of poor songs. there you go, a fair review. i hope you, ben and jamesy, can take this on board without any bad spirit. i made an effort to come out and see you guys at a gig that wasn't really my thing at all. but one i enjoyed on the whole none the less.i thought ten easy wishes were good. they were very tight. i liked jj's whole scrappy approach to playing the guitar, but found his voice a bit irritating after a while. tom's drumming was very good aswell. they've come on along way.the queers were rather good i thought. i enjoyed them. you can here just by listening to them that they've had an influence on alot of bands, if not directly, indirectly. i think ten easy wishes being just one example. the ramones cover right at the end of there set was probably the highlight of the evening for me except for the game of pool i had by myself in the student union. but you can't win them all. oh yeah, and when the queers dedicated a song to 'the first band, funeral for a finch!'it was a good night on the whole.

Suzie Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 the best ive seen mmw play yet. 10ew put on a good show, as usualthe queers were ace, although i did become quite tired due to being illi would have enjoyed it more but felt pretty shit, as ben nicely pointed out to me.

allstardawn Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Didn't really like MMW, but they're not my kind of thing, so I can't really comment10EW were great as alwaysThe queers.. wow. Hadn't heard much by them and I'm not the biggest punk fan in the world (I'm not cool enough) but I was really impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Tank Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Thought it was a alright gig, MMW were good, i enjoy them much more with there more metal/hardcore influnce. Second time seeing ten easy wishes. The Queers were realy boring to me, there song sounded quite the same. Through the whole set, and was quite boring.

Dan G Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I thought the Queers were ok but they were a bit too progressive for me.They should have played more than one song, although it was a very long song (about an hour long)The song didn't have much variation, but I did like the way they introduced certain lyrics again and again thoughout it, eg the "this place sucks" bit. Very conceptual and reminded me of parts of Dream Theater's "metropolis part 2" album... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be for show. Or... On the other hand it could be for the fact that I love guitarists like Zakk Wylde and bands like killswitch enagage who both have widdly guitar bits and lots of harmonics.

ANGEL O' DEATH Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 i didn't see the gig myself but have seen you guys (MMW) when we played at moshulu....i rather enjoyed the widdly bits and pinch harmonics etc.....just about got them perfect myself so good on yae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
