Of the vocalists mentioned that I know, none of them would do any justice to the classic hardcore bands mentioned earlier.

baldsteve (July 13, 2009)

agreed

wearestillalive (July 13, 2009)

Too much eighteen visions. Any is too much.

throw_away (July 13, 2009)

i disagree. i'll be made spectacle of for my feelings, i'm sure, but i don't care.

old eighteen visions fucking rips. and old throwdown (which keith barney used to front) as well.

you can fight me about it, but i'm not gonna bite. i like keith barney (aside from his ill-fated attempt at a shitty marilyn manson rip-off band NEV3R 3NOUGH, which was just a bad idea).

I will be starting a fundraiser to fly MattRamone out to this show.

Also, when the shit did Earth Crisis become "classic hardcore"?
-Dante

baldsteve (July 13, 2009)

When kids that weren't born when they started got into them.

Dante3000 (rich) (July 13, 2009)

I mean I like Snapcase a lot but I wouldn't even consider them "classic hardcore". But I would consider them good, which is more than I'd say of Earth Crisis.
-Dante

baldsteve (July 13, 2009)

me too man, I got my drivers license in 1991. It's hard to think kids born then are just getting into this shit. And oh man does Earth Crisis stink.

I like Snapcase a lot too, and no I don't consider them classic. Gorilla Biscuits is 'classic'.

MattRamone (July 13, 2009)

I got my driver's license in 2000.

Kids born in 1988 can now drink legally.

LinoleumMagazine (July 13, 2009)

"All Out War" the first Earth Crisis EP is actually pretty good as long as you ignore the lyrics about killing meat eaters and ex-edgers.

Cos (July 13, 2009)

I kinda like that one too.

Firestorm is just incredible, even though its lyrics are so deadly militant they verge on Good Clean Fun territory.

Dante3000 (rich) (July 13, 2009)

I've never really checked out their older stuff on account of my distaste for the newer stuff I've heard. Though I'm always a little skeptical about bands that are told to be "good if you can get past (some part of their music)".

MattRamone (July 13, 2009)

Of all the terrible bands in the world, Donnybrook is second only to Terror.

24HourPriapism (July 13, 2009)

you forgot Hoods or Seventh Star. i think Hoods takes the number one spot for their juvenile homophobia tho.

MattRamone (July 13, 2009)

I can't wait for Dylon and Skinhead Rob to do a Black Star-type album.

ffwoodycooks (July 13, 2009)

i kinda like Terror..........

MattRamone (July 13, 2009)

I'm going to lock you in a phone booth with a rabid badger.

ffwoodycooks (July 13, 2009)

i doubt you could get both me AND your girlfriend in a phone booth

14theroad (July 13, 2009)

Good like finding a phonebooth!!

ffwoodycooks (July 13, 2009)

Carry On was a good band and.........um......

LinoleumMagazine (July 13, 2009)

I'm getting an MRI today at 6pm. They give you these huge headphones and you get to choose an FM station to listen to... I can't stand NPR and I hate most radio music. So I have no idea what to choose.
I'll probably pick the alterna-rock station and get my yearly dosage of Shinedown and Godsmack. What the fuck is up with people and their shitty mainstream music taste?

Also, this MRI will cost over $2,500 (thankfully I've hit my deductable and it's paid for). Gee, I wonder why our health care system is fucked and insurance cost a fucking fortune.

24HourPriapism (July 13, 2009)

classic rock? college stations?

LinoleumMagazine (July 13, 2009)

That was my other option. Only problem is then I'll have to hear Areosmith. I hate that band.

Problem is that I never listen to the radio, so I don't even know what channel the good stuff like Oldies is on.

LinoleumMagazine (July 13, 2009)

and the last time I was listening to an oldies station they were playing disco.

badbrain (July 13, 2009)

tell me about it, I went in for 5 stitches in my forehead, cost me $600. but apparently i've now met my deductible, so I'm going to attempt to hurt myself as much as possible this year to keep my shitty insurance company busy.

dlangl4 (July 13, 2009)

Classical music or folk if they have it.

ExtraCheesePizza (July 13, 2009)

I listen to an r&b station all day at work because there are zero good rock stations in Philly.

AndyPonch (July 13, 2009)

I had the misfortune of seeing Adamantium at least once, maybe twice....god, were they horrible.

TeaEssAre (July 13, 2009)

whats the last good thing Revelation put out?

MattRamone (July 13, 2009)

24HourPriapism (July 13, 2009)

probably the last shooks or sinking ships?

14theroad (July 13, 2009)

This.

TeaEssAre (July 13, 2009)

i still never listened to sinking ships, despite hearing good things

24HourPriapism (July 13, 2009)

you should. they're solid.

well, were :(

ffwoodycooks (July 13, 2009)

the mouthpiece discog and that Capital album

stephendmth (July 13, 2009)

Keith Barney rules on the mic.

nocigar (July 13, 2009)

"You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it."

acris (July 13, 2009)

Throwdown? Eighteen Visions? Donnybrook? Oh god.

bryanmatic (July 13, 2009)

I'd rather watch a new good hardcore band.

no wait - that's setting my standards high - I'd rather watch badfish.

SlowStupidHungry (July 13, 2009)

Wow. Mentioning Earth Crisis in the same sentence as Minor Threat should fetch you the death sentence, but I wouldn't expect much more from modern Revelation Records.

90's HC trend needs to end. Those bands blow. It's just death metal for people who don't know about real death metal.

BrandonSideleau (July 14, 2009)

Wow...a bunch of NON-hardcore vocalists covering hardcore songs...that's just what I want to listen to- some screamo/metalcore/whatever you want to call it suck fest bitch whining my favorite Minor Threat songs.

hello-rockview (July 15, 2009)

i just want to know how any of those bands are related to hardcore at all...
it seems more like metal bands who can play complicated riffs.

i mean i'd like to see The Unseen, Paint It Black, hell even NOFX on this, cuz at least they actually know something about the bands they're coverings

deathmetalbrian (July 25, 2009)

i'm old and all so take this w/ a grain of salt, but what the fuck would anyone spend money on this for?
