beat in the minds of metal heads and that comment came during the second day of the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival held Friday and Saturday at the Palladium. Brian Slagel founder of Metal Blade Records was receiving a guitar signed by artists from the record label he launched 25 years ago and fostered into one of heavy metal’s premier imprints when a rep from ESP guitars drew the L… For the fans of hard core Bury Your Dead delivered a knockout set as it featured new singer Michael Crafter then brought out Worcester’s Mat Bruso who sang for the band during its career ascent over the last two years and last year decided to hang up his rock ‘n’ roll spurs for an explosive finale. The festival’s second stage in the Palladium’s upper room also had more of a hard-core bent with tightly packed crowds seething to 100 Demons Death Before Dishonor Gaza Psyopus and 20 others. Veterans of the extreme-music scene muscled in to the action as well. Cannibal Corpse a brand name in musical brutality returned to Metalfest in all its gory glory igniting maniacal mosh pits in front of the stage with such death-metal staples as “Hammer Smashed Face. Lizzy Borden also came back onto the metal radar with a theatrical set of operatic thrash that featured the band’s namesake singer going through murderous re-enactments culminating with him smearing fake blood across the fans pressed closest to the stage. Though extreme the musical scene Metalfest celebrates is not narrow. n Friday for example the action moved from 3 Inches of Blood which features a unique twin-vocals sound to Walls of Jericho one of the few fest acts fronted by a woman to DevilDriver the scuz-metal outfit growing ever closer to its inspirational source Pantera.

Madonna Michael Jackson and the burgeoning genre of hip-hop were taking over the airwaves. Rock itself had splintered into subgenres of metal punk and new wave. Listeners who wanted a daily dose of their favorite music found that the Beatles Led Zeppelin Jimi Hendrix the Rolling Stones and Creedence were exiled to the same sort of broadcast ghetto that had claimed doo-wop big band and swing.

Lets do a second version of JAN of ARC. Sell tickets to the spectableproceeds to Walter Reed. They loved the war in Vietname they hated the civil rights movement they love the war in Iraq…they love their wallets. They could care less about how many young Americans or Iraqi citizens have died in their war of greed and lies. If people would only listen to those like Joan Baez who have a heart and soul and know the truth we’d be a lot better off. They were right about Vietnam and Civil Rights they’re right NW about bush’s war… ”Shortly after eight o’clock Mellencamp takes the stage. The crowd roars when he sings his first words: “I was born in a small town…. ” For the next hour or so Mellencamp lets his music speak for itself. “We’re happy to show our support” he tells the audience. “Let’s just forget about any problems we might have and let’s just have a good time. ” His wife roams the auditorium taking pictures of the crowd.

Prolific sneezing a cough that sounded like a death rattle headache that would not stop general malaise. It was not with a huge amount of enthusiasm that I went about the actual getting ready part of going to the game but by the time we were in the car I thought those crazy nutbars were going to be able to pull it off. We got to the DCU Center and headed down to the glass to hold up signs and cheer the guys on. The pre-game skate ended we went to our seats we waited for the game to start. And they promptly wound up down two to nothing… During hockey season she can be found at the DCU Center cheering on the Worcester Sharks and going through a variety of superstitious tics and rituals to ensure victory. In spring and summer free time is mostly dedicated to pleading with her bonsai collection to not die and muttering about the weeds that pop up all around the house every time she goes inside. She listens to every type of music you could think to name but most often has on Billie Holiday and Nina Simone or an assortment of hip-hop all of which she sings along to although she has no ability whatsoever to do so competently.
