Since I just booked a show in October, I figured the time was right to start working on this. Most of you know the deal. To those who don't, Halloween is my birthday. Every year at O'Briens I book a show as close to 10/31 as possible that has all bands covering some other band. This will be my fourth year. Last year was--
PanzerBastard as Celtic Frost/Hellhammer
Witch Tomb as Bathory
Betrayed By All as Legends of Oi!
Rampant Decay as 80's Hardcore
Jared Thomas Lord as Hank Williams
You get the idea, I hope. Whoever's interested, let me know and I'll start figuring this shit out.
Kevorkians Angels as Jerry's Kids
Cryptic Warning as Death
Hekseri as Venom/Kreator
The second year I think was--
Rich Horror & The Screaming Nervous Breakdowns as IWEIPH
Into The Unknown[I think that was the name] as Mercyful Fate
Hirudinea as Cro-Mags/Slapshot/Black Flag/Mayhem/Faith No More
Dissector as Impetigo
Shit Fuck as The Misfits

We'll do Kiss, fo' sho...
Blessed Offal should do all Candlemass....we'd need a better singer though hahah.
The first year was supposed to be wicked ridiculous, with IWEIPH doing Black Flag, Throwing Shrapnel doing Deadguy/Disrupt and Adolf Satan doing Black Sabbath.
For right now I'm saving a spot for Superchrist, until I get a concrete date. If it happens they'll be playing a show the day before or the day after this show somewhere in the area.
DUmmm... anyone know a singer who can pull off Samhain-era Glenn Danzig? Otherwise... Ipsissimus as VON? And please allow me to cast my vote for multiple Integrity songs - Die Hard and Vocal Test chief amongst them.
Rich I was thinking if you'd like to have SF play I'd love to do 80's thrash/crossover.
Stuff I was thinking:
Sodom - Agent Orange
Cro-Mags - Show You No Mercy
SOD - Kill Yourself
DRI - Thrashhard
Motorhead - Limb from Limb
Sabbat - Darkness and Evil
I'm not saying definitely yes to anyone but my own band until Superchrist is definite. I have everyone who's had a definitive idea in a .txt file though.
awesome, I mean obviously I wouldn't expect a definite on it. Either way I'll be there to get hammered and sing along with whatever tunes are being played.
If you posted in this thread and I didn't list you, it's just because you didn't give me a definite that you wanna do this and what you're doing. How it'll work is when the time comes I'll look over everyone and figure out what I want for a lineup.
Kevorkians Angels as Jerry's Kids
Cryptic Warning as Death
Hekseri as Venom/Kreator
if anyone can top us by having the band we were covering there watching, i'd be really surprised. that was nerve racking, i never get nervous before a gig, but having Jerry's Kids there was intimidating. They dug our set though, which made things easier.
how about this for a twist? the bands cover the other bands songs? like if Panzerbastard was Hirudinea and vice versa...could be interesting
I don't want to hear a Sheer Terror cover set (every show in the past 20 years has been Sheer Terror cover set).
A lot of bands have tried (and failed) to sound like Sheer Terror. Ummm, the 90's was mostly shitty fucking rapcore bands and emo garbage. I'm not sure what shows you were going to then. It was fucking horrendous.
Mr. Richard Horror, what is the time frame you need for definites on this? i am trying to organize people to do a Type O set where we would do the Origin of the Feces album. i know i can organize it, i just need to know when you would want a definite by so i can talk to the right people.

I'm just saying. Cover songs oddly enough seem to work in trends. First it was Misfits, then Cro-Mags, then Sheer Terror. I have no idea what people are covering now. There was a stretch of like a year or two where every other show I'd goto I'd have to sit through a poorly done Sheer Terror cover. I just got sick of it.
And the 90's brought us such brilliant bands as 7th Rail Crew, Stuck Mojo, Rumble, and Eastc.... oh wait, you got a point.
As far as a deadline, ASAP. All the time I have bands asking me about this show because everyone told them it was the most fun they ever had playing a show, so it'll get full quick.

Played an outdoor fest with 7th Rail Crew some time during that era. Well, some kid in the band was walking around with his shirt off, with a baseball bat on his shoulder with the word RESPECT burned on it in old english. Funny shit. Even funnier was when a friend's band was covering We Are 138 and during the repetitive 8,8,8 part at the end the "skinhead" next to me informed me that he loved oi. The 90's really did suck.
Can I be Morgan Freeman or the guy from the Vehix commercials saying "to the left... more left... again... right... more right." I can do this at the show or from the comfort of my couch. I am of course asking if I can do this. If you say no you will ruin Halloween for me and I will be forced to ingest oxys and xanny bars.
There once was a man from New Bedford named Fishcakes.
The End.
If I knew anybody who could sing like Keith Caputo, I'd make them join composted so we could play as Life of Agony. That would seriously give me bonerages.
Otherwise, I think Composted should play as Cock and Ball Torture. I'm down if Mark, Dave, and Eliot are.

Definites that I've received--
Superchrist as Motorhead
PanzerBastard as KISS
Jared Thomas Lord as Nick Cave
If your band is interested and can definitely do it and definitely know what they wanna do, let a brutha know.

Are you even still in Noosebomb?
If I even suggested covering LoA or CBT in NooseBomb, Jeff would have a heart attack.
Superchrist as Motorhead
PanzerBastard as KISS
Rampant Decay as Sheer Terror
The Accursed as WASP
Jared Thomas Lord as Nick Cave
The Green Men [featuring Tony Sacreligion] as Type O Negative

or just doing an SOD set would be alot of fun.
If you guys plya and do all S.O.D. I will sing the shit out of it. I wish I still had that Sgt D mask...
Maybe you should play a show or go to others' shows so people know you exist.
Maybe the only people I know who'd book a show with me on it are you and...uh...you.
Everyone else is too metal for their own good.
Which puts me in a spot cause the only good shows in Mass/Boston are metal shows, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna walk within 3 blocks of some shitty indie show just to get blank stares from hipsters when I try to hand em a cd.
Middle East corner has a lot of good acoustic rock shows for free. You should check that out sometime.

Good deal. I will bombard them with plastics. They make it possible.
The only place remotely near me is the Java Room in Chelmsford and they're pretty god damn fruity when it comes to their choice in acoustic-ness-es. Jack Johnson clones don't do me no good.

i could probably do an ok keith caputo if i was drunk and depressed enough.

if either of these things happen it would be enough for me to drive out to boston for this show

i could do a comedy set (to open the show) in tribute to sam kinison.
i'll shave my face, perfect his yell, get the right trench coat and hat.
i'll memorize a 15 minute set of all my favorite kinison routines.
