R.I.P. to one of my top 10 all-time favorite venues. 
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some of the same shows at a few of those venues. |
That is the ****ing coolest ****.

I've got the platinum version of
Speak English or Die (it went platinum over a decade ago btw) and there's an entire show from Japan as bonus tracks. Don't remember the audience being particularly quiet. I'd be hella curious how a metal or hardcore show would go down in Japan. Would they be quiet, or would they take the chance to give their cultural stereotype the finger and draw and quarter some poor bastard in the pit?
