i lvoe when this happens. my brother's friends play in some band called "elder", they are wicked generic lame doom metal, but it was a five dollar show in providence so i figured what the fuck and went anyways. but, brian gibson's newish metal band megasus was playing. though im not sure if i would sit at home listening to them on my headphones, these guys absolutley rocked it. i thought they were gonna be another boring doom metal band but i shoulda known better that someone like brian gibson wouldnt let his band be boring. they were more sludge than doom, but they also had a progressive thing going on, and were reminescent of the early amrep noise rock bands at times. gibson was surprisingly superb on drums, he really slayed, his style is similar to chippendale's, wicked fast wicked brutal wicked tight (but of course not THAT good), the guitar player was cool, his riffs were incredibly simple but he made some really good use of effects pedals and his riffs sounded kinda like a skronky electric wizard, and the lead singer was a madman, lots of audience baiting, pushing etc.. he nailed into my bad shoulder, which was cool because after the show he came up and apologized. i also talked to gibson, he said lightning bolt has been on an extended hiatus and that they are now just practicing. then a band called black cobra played. they sounded like high on fire. they were fine, but i wasnt into it. weedeater was supposed to play but didnt. sucked.

anyways, i love when this shit happens. you go to a show expecting to kill time, and end up having a blast.
