the angry pit chronicles

these videos are an in-joke on centerfuse.net, therefore they're not known to the general public and many of you should be seeing this awesome shit for the first time. apparently there's some dude called ANGRY JAY who lives around NJ or NY and makes videos of the crap-tastic metalcore (but leaning towards the nu-metal side) bands that play around him. there's also a great video of him taking a trip to Gathering of the Juggalos '07 in his account somewhere, but that's not what we're here to talk about.

our first video from angry jay's collection that we'll be focusing on today is of a band called MEMORIE'S PAST, playing a pretty small little bar-venue. as the band starts their instrumental intro, the singer chugs a beer and spills it all over the place. then as it kicks into the mosh part he gives the audience the immortal words of encouragement "YO... FUCK A WET FLOOR" and about four or five drunk dudes mosh like jackass ninja with no regards for their surroundings. this results in one dude putting his fist through a glass picture frame on the side.

here's the aftermath of that, as SOCO or whatever examines his fucked up hand, the cameraman declares "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ANGRY PIT". someone else assures this fine human being that he will indeed "GET SOME PUSSY OFF OF THIS".

now this video is the main course of the ANGRY PIT... there's nothing better for a small band than playing a local show, composed of your friends and other hometown fans going off. been there, done that. the world may think you're a joke but as long as the local crowd has your back, at least once a month you can feel like you're on top of the world. This is a band called Hero's [sic] Are The Enemy or "HATE" for short playing some sort of a battle of the bands, where they obviously have the audience's approval from the get-go based on the chants of "HATE! HATE! HATE!" incited by the guitar player wearing a spiderman bandana over his face. i guess the battle of the bands has an announcer guy who has to cue up every band, this nerdy dude looks pretty intimidated by the band's overwhelming response before they've even played a note. he introduces them quickly and then hands it off to the singer, wearing some sick skeleton gloves, who says the immortal words... well, you'll see. then you might as well shut the video off because what follows is a bunch of "BREE" metal (or "deathcore" or whatever the fuck you call this shit where the vocals just sound like a dude going BREE BREE BREE and making pig noises the whole time - all the kids like this shit nowadays) mixed with ridiculous My Chemical Romance style singing parts. sigh. i still don't know if HATE won the battle, but they far and away won the esteemed title of my CLIP OF THE DAY
