Published on October 16th 2002
The Metro Theatre, in the heart of Sydney, has had some loud bands there before, but I'm sure no one has EVER shaken the walls the way Mogwai did tonight, and I mean EVER. There is no need to argue, no hardcore, metalcore, whatevercore has or will ever match the aural intensity of Mogwai, no matter how good they are (and don't get me wrong, I love the 'cores) People who liked this also liked:     Please login or register to post comments.

Organized religion is for sheep....which many of you people are. You don't want to sound stupid but if it's religious it's ignorant therefore you won't listen to it? Well, so much for the not sounding stupid part... I'm sorry but that is a terrible way to look at things. I am NOT a religous person but I'm not going to sit there and say i won't listen to something just because it's religous. I guarentee that you don't agree politically or socially with every single band you listen to, there's no way you could, yet you still listen to them. Religous bands are out there doing there thing and singing about the things that are important to them, just like any other secular band.... nope. not religious at all. Hey, I dont wanna sound stupid, but Mogwai isn't a religious band right? I mean, I don't wanna listen to something ignorant, so if its religious I won't listen to it. What is all this "more intense than thou" crap. You people are ridiculous sometimes. Sheesh. Mogwai is superb. idiot, that song is the only song of all black flag songs that is funny, if you new anything about them, you'd know that you fuckin idiot. Plus that song is sarcastic, it isn't about them, it's about fat people who sit around and drink beer all day. You are obviously a fucking idiot who knows NOTHING about black flag, go listen to a song like nothing left inside or forever time you fool. die. that one song by black flag about him and his friends drinking beer and watching tv is FUCKING intense...wow Black Flag live is the most brutal band imaginable, Rollins is like a snarling beast trying to escape it's cage. Lean, mean, animal machine. Cro Mags over black Flag? Are you kidding? Have u ever seen the flag live? you must be nuts! Seeing as how I've never seen Mogwai, but I've bought an ex of mine a ticket to go see them, I'll take your word and hers in believing they are intense. It never really did it for me on record, but live can be a totally different story. First off, great review! I always want to give kudos to the ones I read that are well written and informative and this one DEFINELTY is. Please keep up the good work and keep writing reviews. On the whole hardcore debate, I'm going to have to say that hardcore can be very intense. Almost all types of music can be... Bands such as Hope Conspiracy and American Nightmare both are not incredibly technical albums and is just straight out brutal screaming hardcore. Yet for some reason they always seem to be in my cd player... I think the whole basis of hardcore music IS passion and intensity, getting caught up in the music. I know that this is just another debate that will never be settled but i think it is fairly ignorant to say that there is "No Argument" over this. I love hardcore, I love black flag and Mogwai as well and I find these bands all "intense" Keep an open mind... Sounds like a killer show. hey, where in the middle of PA? i'm at penn state out in the middle of nowhere... hey hun... you can nail me anytime, definitely get my attention No, it wouldn't ake me just as bad as him, I'm just letting him know that he needs to quit bagging on other people, not a hard nail, just one to get attention. jason reese, trail of dead's drummer, is quite the performer. Um..if you nail that guys face in aren't you just as bad as him? There's nothing wrong with running around in a circle pit wih your shirt off. Quit stereo typing, hardcore is cool, Black Flag is the ultimate best band ever, and gay bashing is for insecure idiots. Hardcore isn't about bashing gays or being a jock, it's about angry music and expressing any of the anger that lurks within you, it just seems to attract some people who are only interested in hurting people- those are the idiots and that is not what hardcore was meant to be. Thankfully, I protect people in the pit- any guy who starts acting like a prick and beating on kids, I'll nail his face in! "Wow that was clever. With that single comment you won me over, you proved that hardcore is more intense by gay-bashing some person you don't know, who probably isn't even gay. Thank God you saved the world and showed us hardcore is more intense then everything else ever." People who bash gays are just insecure about their own sexuality. But yes, Black Flag is easily the most intense band I've ever seen live. But this band is intense too. "Go eat a dick you fucking faggot" Different music can be intense in different ways. Black Flag was intense. Mogwai is intense. I mean theres no arguing it. Black Flag. Period. Ten Times More Intense Than This. Sorry Pal, There' No Arguing It. Yes thats right. hardcore's not intense at all. Go eat a dick you fucking faggot. Then go spell your name right and get off the indie rock jock wagon.. no, i'm sure you couldn't name ANY hardcore bands more intense....because hardcore isn't intense, it's boring... Excellent, albeit short review. Nice to hear someone who actually knows something about the bands write rather than 'uh.. i think they played 2 songs off this album and they ROCKED... man!' I can name some hardcore bands more intense. |
