Remember the drumm...You done fucked up in '98.<br /><br />Remember the drummer for that crappy CR band at the East-Side Maid-Rite (I think they were called Mary's Window)? He had 1 electric drum pad and spent like 45 minutes setting it up and then programmed it with a single sound which sounded very much like a regular drum on his kit. What was the point of that?<br /><br />Although the implosion show wasn't the best, it was still 100% better than the Post-Jim/Matt Sepanic era when they had a DJ scratch over all of Jim's solos and cool riffs. I wish I could get those couple shows out of my head. When will people learn that 99% of the time adding a DJ is not a good idea.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314002882388226423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445100074554613043.post-84108654212609195562010-04-29T21:28:12.726-05:002010-04-29T21:28:12.726-05:00I am still bitter about 1998.

Painful. Sad when you have to say that your favorite band is no more. Hello old age. <br /><br />I mean, who else was there for the big East Side Maid-Rite show in C.R? Answer: No One. Besides all the tools that were there for weak RatM covers. I also could have done without that implosion show at Big Dogs when Jim got the SK call, though. Hmmm, wonder what the deal is with that town. Best show, in Saigon Kick ever, worst MM show, ever. History.

My favorite example was Incubus with System of a Down opening...20 - 25 people there tops. Actually that might have been when you were in San Antonio now that I think about it. (June/July 98 I think)<br /><br />Yep, PHoF moved and is in a much nicer location (from what I have read). About half as far from the strip and over twice as big location. Moved in Nov 09.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314002882388226423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445100074554613043.post-90002730575296518092010-04-28T16:03:13.667-05:002010-04-28T16:03:13.667-05:00Ha, funny coincidence.

That HorrorPops video you linked was shot at White Rabbit, that place in San Antonio that I randomly went to on my first business trip for Principal back in '98. I heard a commercial for them on the rock channel I found driving to the hotel so decided to check it out as it was too late for my #1 destination, Taco Land.<br /><br />So I get there, and it's not substantially bigger than Hairy Mary's and I thought it was going to be some local bands as there was no signage or any lines or anything when I got there. Turns out it was Drain STH and then unknown American Head Charge. Good show for $5 cover. Looks like they've had plenty of great shows through the years.<br /><br />I heard that PHoF moved. Still on Tropicana but in a much less skeezy location.<br /><br />If you wanna try a good drink, you should try one of Holly's concoctions. They don't taste of alcohol but I guarantee you will know you drank it after just one. Highly recommended.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902836283728789897noreply@blogger.com
