I was listening to it today, and its GOOD, but there are better. Jane Doe is obviously a classic, and PTES and WFCC are awesome. I think You Fail Me is massively underrated. Ach, they're all ace!

Huw Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Boo to the venue - whats wrong with it?No Heroes is your favourite? I was listening to it today, and its GOOD, but there are better. Jane Doe is obviously a classic, and PTES and WFCC are awesome. I think You Fail Me is massively underrated. Ach, they're all ace!No Heroes is very good, but really doesn't stand out to me like Jane Doe does. I'm still not over the fact Kurt Ballou plays through a metal zone.I'm going to try my damnedest to make it down, as i had a ticket last year, but i fell ill on the day... even it is just to see the pit in the broken vow with all the fist pumping and such-like. From what i've heard they are the best live band ever.On the Converge topic, does anyone know what Kurt actually does with his guitar at the start of concubine?

Soda Jerk Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Doesn't he play through a JMP plexi too though? Second rate distortion pedals sound pretty good through Plexi's. The vintage twang seems to get rid of the muddy, fizzy sludge Metalzones seem to have.I've seen them 4 times and they get better everytime.So, yes. Where is this Ivory Blacks place?

Alkaline Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Converge were great when i saw them. A lack of any cash means that i won't be able to go to this. As for Ivory Black's location, i'd imagine putting it into Google and yielding a postcode and then doing the same with said postcode in Google maps might help a little.

stuartmaxwell Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 its the old strawberry fields place in central glasgow. if i remember correctly (or not) its near the archesrotten pillars and gash soundas for converge, Ive only really heard no heroes out of all the albums, but I really like it. Lonewolves is the greatest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 just listened to Jane Doe again today. what an album. Excellent from start to finish.need to get my tickets for this sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yes, Ivory Blacks is in Glasgow. It recently had a re-fit and Simon who use to book at the Barfly is now booking there. I don't know if this has stopped it being so shit.Go under Central Station bridge and take your first left just by the 'Collage Corner Bar' (or something like that) which is part of the SAS Radisson hotel. It's also just down the hill from the Solid Rock Cafe.Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Playing "Petitioning The Empty Sky" today. Very excited!i got it through the other day... i never realised how much of a Slayer influence Converge had in their early days. that, and 'when forever comes crashing' is chocka with Slayer-esque riffs.
