[leave a comment]- East of Eden 1969I saw East of Eden in 1969 and it was out the world. Beeing 14 years old it was my first live gig, it was really overwhelming. That was my summer of 69...(but not the best days of my life..).Holger Büsing,Hannover,Germany - buesinghannover@aol.com

[leave a comment] - 2006 Trivium @ Leas Cliff Hall (Tue 21 Mar 2006)
From Florida, looks a bit hard metal to me, are they? Plus God Forbid + Bloodsimple
[leave a comment]- Trivium are coming to FolkestoneTrivium are Matt Heafy (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Corey Beaulieu (Guitars, Vocals), Travis Smith (Drums), and Paolo Gregoletto (Bass, Vocals), from Florida, USA. Anyone know more about them? They're on Roadrunner Records, so I'm guessing they're a bit heavy. -
- Trivium doing a warmup showEmber & The Infernos play London Islington Academy on the 22nd of March, that's Trivium under a "secret" name. There are still tickets for Trivium @ The Leas Cliff Hall, though all other dates have sold out. -
- Trivium reviewThe Trivium gig sounds like it was great, just seen this post on onfolkestone.co.uk: Liked a few Bloodsimple songs, God Forbid were immense but Trivium damn well ruled, they had power and alot of control. Best moments - The Shredathon they had Playing Master of Puppets (even tho the singer was bull crap cos he was from the crowd) Seek & Destroy The little piss about they had at the end, playing (among other things) Sweet Home Alabama, Lose Yourself, The Trooper, a coupla Queen songs. -

When the scrappers were eventually removed from the hall they were shouting threats back at Mr Gray. Were you there? Did you see anything?
