ophelia by ophelia · Aug 10, 2003 · 443 views · Journal

Guys, I can't express to you how awesome of a time our band and all the rest had, we have like no experience w/shows of this magnitude, and, for a first time effort, it was really awesome for it to come together as nicely as it did, ALL THE BANDS ROCKED, I'm glad we had the diversity too..If anybody was around for the first band, friends of ours from PA called Collapse, they were, to put it lightly, "very heavy"..Now I loved'm, and even though I know that's not everybody's thing, they set off the night w/a very different feel than what's considered the norm...Which I respect. NOVEMBER!!..I LOVE YOU!!...QUARTER PAST 8, good as ALWAYS, BESIDE THE WHITE! --- Prolly the ONLY witness band I've ever seen to start a mosh pit + crowd surfing, you guys are intense, Dave, Ryan, nice job..GUILDERBELL --- givin Queens of The Stone Age a run for their money, haha, you guys are awesome..all & all I think everybody had fun, gota do it again....J-DUB ROCK FO LIFE SUCKAH!

i think that crowd surfing was a silly idea.

debassedbassist #2.1 debassedbassistOG 2003

I think you are a bad idea

seit2see #2.2 seit2seeOG 2002

what! that was the best part!

debassedbassist #2.2.1 debassedbassistOG 2003

definatly my friend

togatweeter #3 togatweeterOG 2003

great job last night to everyone who had a part! all the songs were tight

fivezero #4 fivezeroOG 2003

i had a really good time too. hate to choose favorites, but in my humble opinion i'd say Ophelia rocked the hardest. that HUM cover was extremely enjoyable. and i love the way they way they ended that jazz/metal song. i dunno, the end of that song just stuck with me. now Beside the White isn't really my speed, but that Thrice cover owned. mucho impressive. and Guilderbell. i love that the do their own thing! they kick my arse each and every time i see them. i love the wicked solos and monstrous bass and while i'm at it...that drumma effortlessly rules. it's like nothing to him. man, what a good time. shows like this should take place every single year. make this puppy annual. and get some AC in that joint..

tinser #4.1 tinserOG 2002

AC!? Man, that place was freeeeezing...next time i'll remember to bring a sweatshirt

fivezero #4.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

you must have been somewhere else, dollface

ophelia #4.2 opheliaOG 2003

thanks man, really appreciate it...we enjoy our music and love creating it, but, we had the SLIGHTEST clue as to how it'd be viewed from the objective standpoint, we didn't know how the crowd would react to us. Really good to hear you liked it....haha, that "jazz metal" song, it's really called Burn The Sun---Amongst the band sometimes you'll have like inner names for songs, and we called it the jazz metal song while practicing, but that's not really it's tital. I think Dean forgot what it's real name was cause he just called it the jazz metal song when he introduced it...whatever, we had fun and look forward to doing it again...BESIDE THE WHITE RULES

yodasucka #5 yodasuckaOG 2003

Thw show was awsum- all u boys did great :) and i always hot at Bound Brook- so get used to it! and yes, i agree the crowd surfing was a silly idea...

forrestina #6 forrestinaOG 2002

props to all the bands that participated. it was definitely good times. you guys even managed to get some people to come out of their shell for a few hours. oh and thanks for playing the elf song ex-ey!

ophelia #7 opheliaOG 2003

Yo the manager that was on duty saturday @ hamilton was FLOOOOORRRREED by the amount of people that flocked in, because we didn't put any banners or flyers up in the Hamilton lobby advertising the show at all..guess he's not hip the the JW-networking system

skaorsk8 #7.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

maybe he's never been on ezabel? just a thought. why not tell him to sign up?

ophelia #7.1.1 opheliaOG 2003

ummmm....i sense a bit of sarcasm here..i dunno, maybe it's just me..lol...don't think I won't rough you up Hill

forrestina #7.1.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

haha leave the mexican kid alone

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

I WILL TEAR HIM TO SHREADS LIKE HE WAS A CHALUPA

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

yo! i'm mexican! watch out, brad pitt!

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

Brad Pitt? Yea hes gotta watch out

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

have you seen brad pitt lately?..his last name is very fitting, cause he has like an arm pit on his face now, the nastiest, scruffiest beard I've ever seen..guess he was tired of being hot..haha, brad's prolly the only person right now that rivals steve MO-HINEY'S scruffiness...nobody else can touch'm...lol, looks like he moved to woods for a month or something...love it

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

he can wear a garbage bag and he'd still be hot

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

Reasons you cant compare Brad Pitt To DanHill:

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

1) Brad Pitt can have milk

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

2) DanHill is single

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

3) Bradd pitt looks like typham

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

3) DanHill Has no space in his name while Brad Pitt does. You see it Brad_Pitt thats a space if i ever saw one

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

4-7) are too mean and i promised dan i wouldnt make fun of him anymore

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

i dont think brad pitt was ever "hot"..he's alright...but even before the beard he reminded me of an ape...he's got a good jaw line though. seriously, if you watch oceans 11..they always catch his profile while chewing...it's the good jaw.

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

nice to know people check out even brad pitts jaw!!!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

you noticed that too? i think that is so funny! what a good idea. have him eating the whole movie through. the directors name is steve soderbergh and he's really an awesome auter. go see Solaris!

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003 fivezero

Oceans Eleven is a fantastic movie eveyone should own a copy of it

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 debassedbassist

both the old and the new version, the one w/brad pitt & clooney is a remake..both are good though

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003 ophelia

pure cinematic greatness

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 debassedbassist

ACTUALLY--the whole Oceans Eleven crew signed back on for a sequel, to be called Oceans Twelve. Again written and directed by Steve Soderbergh. I wonder who will make twelve? Is it Tess?! We don't know!

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003 fivezero

No its Andy Garcia hey if you cant beat him join him

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 fivezero

I got an inside scoop it's definately gonna be winne from wonder years....

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003 ophelia

its gonna be magilla gorilla

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

I belive that was the look they were going for, the point of that was to show off his jaw line... i dunno... they keep that up they will be showing off his double chin... just a thought.

forrestina #7.2 forrestinaOG 2002

haha you like using my sayings ey?

tesoro #8 tesoroOG 2001

for reaaaal...good job to all the bands...quarter past eight was my fav, and collapse, beside the white and ophelia rockkked out. i had a really good time.

skaorsk8 #8.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

yo i want a cd of quarter past eight's performance... you think if i call the place, they'll hook me up?

forrestina #8.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

i hear the recordings there are really crappy

ophelia #8.1.2 opheliaOG 2003

the recordings are horrible @ hamilton....& they charge you $15 to get it

debassedbassist #8.1.2.1 debassedbassistOG 2003

they really did suck man, The recording not you guys

thefunkyfresh #8.1.2.2 thefunkyfreshFounder

they are HORRIBLE!! when we played there they didnt mike anything so i was thinking "hows this gonna work?" i get the recording and all you can hear is the vocals cuz that was all that was running thru the PA. rediculous

thefunkyfresh #9 thefunkyfreshFounder

did anybody here get to see guilderbell? i had to leave before they could play because jesse drove and he wasn't feeling good. how'd they do?

forrestina #9.1 forrestinaOG 2002

no we had to head out-i think a lot of people did

walkngplaygrnd #9.1.1 walkngplaygrndOG 2003

i saw them, but i don't count . . .

theremin #9.2 thereminOG 2002

Yeh. Fantastic set!

walkngplaygrnd #9.2.1 walkngplaygrndOG 2003

thank you, sir . . . *bows appreciatively*

T
#9.3 toxicgirlOG 2003

They busted out the jams in pure Guilderbell style. You haven't lived till you've heard El Toro. AND you missed a "Say it Ain't So" sing along. Unfortunately, Satan upped the thermostat and those with weak constitutions couldn't take anymore of the hades-like temperatures...

ok4now #9.4 ok4nowOG 2002

nice job...they really know how to play to the crowd

ok4now #9.5 ok4nowOG 2002

one thing tho...they need to get a backup drummer for their cymbal player

ophelia #9.5.1 opheliaOG 2003

OH SSSSSSSNAP....Man, I see a brawl comin' on the horizon, dunno if milton's gonna let you get away w/that...(not saying it wasn't funny though,haha)

walkngplaygrnd #9.5.1.1 walkngplaygrndOG 2003

Thanks, Bry . . . of course I will have a response . . . as noted below . . .

hunkpapap #9.5.2 hunkpapapOG 2003

Oh man, anybody who tries to do our drummer's stuff needs a backup drummer. we're trying to get him to lose like 2-4 drums..

walkngplaygrnd #9.5.3 walkngplaygrndOG 2003

I think I shall respond to this comment by saying . . . I hit many cymbals and open hi-hat to cover up the fact that I have NO idea what I'm doing back there . . . hopefully, one day, when I have more experience, I'll be able to be a real drummer that actually hits drums, that doesn't need to hide behind many cymbal crashes . . . but your feedback is noted and greatly appreciated. (I bet you all though I was gonna get ROWDY - but alas, I have no defense for that which is true)

ok4now #9.5.3.1 ok4nowOG 2002

...and for that response, i give you mega-props!!

ophelia #9.5.3.2 opheliaOG 2003

wwwwoah...man, I was expecting an eZabel rumble.....darnit, wouldn't of minded a good fight..haha..nah, that's uh, quite humble of ya....Yes I think humble is a good word to describe that response...If Jesus was a drummer, instead of a carpenter, and was comfronted w/that comment from before, this is how he would of responded..very good young milton, I applaud your mildness
