"This… is Grindcore…!!!"… (+ semi interesting BQ’s…)?

… these three words followed by a light speed rip through ‘Birth of Ignorance’…

…were all it took to turn to turn a bunch of chin stroking punters into a heaving mass of flailing, flying bodies at a Brutal Truth gig i attended last night… the place literally erupted! awesome…

… so, what for you, "is Grindcore"?… what are some of your favourite Bands/Tunes/Albums/Gigs? Post clips if ye can!

BQ: It was a bit of a strange gig… they started off exclusively playing the new album, that only about three people seemed to know… the rest of us were kinda left a bit wrong footed… no-one seemed to know what to do with the almost jazzy time changes of the new tunes… so the best to do was just stand back and watch the madness unfold onstage…

but then after a very brief pause, Kevin Sharpe uttered those words and it was back to the old school and the place literally exploded ;) … i thought i was going to get battered lol!

Have you ever been to a gig that may have started out kinda slow or strange or not what you were expecting… but suddenly everything clicked… a tune sets the gig off or the band hit a groove that brings the gig to life or something like that… What was the band? What was the moment? (i hope this makes sense lol!)

special mention to Rich Hoak… the craziest, most intense drummer i’ve ever had the pleasure to witness bar none!

…and the quite brilliant support… Madrid’s very own ‘Looking for an Answer’… good stuff! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enTnxCHi_hU&feature=related

Brutal Truth is amazing. I also like Venomous Concept, which has Kevin Sharp and Danny Lilker from Brutal Truth. They are bad a**.

    BA:A few years ago i went to a Cattle Decapitation just for the hell of it not thinking it was going to be a very good show since i don’t really listen to there music that much and as it started out it was just them making wise cracks to the audience which for some reason was the stupidest audience that night but then they finally kicked into song and it turned out to be an amazing show with tons of energy and some really good playing
