I have

Twice from what I remember. Excellent musically but the singer is very very preachy, and that annoyed me somewhat.


Seen them 5 times (I think)

Only one was anything less than brilliant.

Just pray that Nate does more talking than Jake.


go see them

one song got dedicated to the sxe kids last time i saw them, but that was it.
unmissable really, they are that good live


A few times

Again technically brilliant, but ive never liked Kurt as a vocalist.

If you like Converge, you'll love them live!


^

jake as a vocalist?


does kurt

do much of the vocals?


Yes

go. Intense as. Incredibly cathartic, crazy energy, good setlist hopefully.


seen them loads.

the new more metal material 'jane doe onwards' comes across really meatheaded when live, and there sloads of floorpunching pricks. but other than that yeah its great.


Also more to the point

Is this not with Integrity?

Definitely go if it is!


im going :D


i saw them

at jillys in manchester with my gf of the time, we only went to see planes mistaken for stars (who pulled out! ggrr) but went anyway and left before the end as converge were just playing some kind of doom for like 45 mins wich was boring to say the least, i prefered them on cd


that sounds

amazing
if that happens at the london show i will die happy


I was there

I think. Was that the show Modern life Is War supported instead? Or time before? Either way MLIW stole the show!


have mliw broke up now?

:( if they have


Yes

Though the last album wasnt very good.

My love, My Way is one of my favourite hardcore records ever though!


i dont know wich one it was

it was about hmmm 4 or 5 years ago say?


Yes

everyone should see them at least once, not a huge fan of Bannon though.

If Knut play here again, definitely see them!


Saw them at The Peel in

Kingston, got bashed around by lots of sweaty kids half my age, but to be expected............ It was very good and intense though, my girlfriend liked it too................


.

Saw them in Manchester last year.

Was really quite something special, and I like Jake, he wasnt that preachy at the gig i went to and his style is unusual.

The place did seem to be full of meatheads though.

Hopefully get to see them on this tour as well!!


i saw them ages ago

on their Jane Doe tour, in leeds (josephs well) absolutely awesome!
