Hatebreed is awesome. Without a doubt AWESOME. Satisfaction Is The Death of Desire is probably the best LP that came out of CT in the whole 90s decade. Seriously, think about that (fuck, now I’m thinking about the first Fastbreak LP which is also awesome). Just good shit. Here are some other fun facts about Hatebreed:
- The first time I ever saw Hatebreed was in March of 1997 in Portland, ME. Sick pitting for an out of state band.
- One time I won a contest on the xMulletx board and got to do backups on a Hatebreed album
- — Great crew: Kyle, Mullet, Jim C, Ivan, … shit, who am I forgetting?
- — Kyle fell asleep in the loft above the booth while everyone was yelling.
- — The band stayed at the recording studio house and the people there would make them ANYTHING they wanted to eat. The spread for us was ENORMOUS.
- — We all had to sign documents and pay dues to enter the Back Up Vocal Union. No shit, I was working class for as long as those dues lasted.
- — A few months after the event, we all got checks. How stoked were we?
- — One of the songs we did backups on was featured in the Vin Diesel movie XXX during the snowboarding scene. HAWT!
- Hatebreed recorded live video at the Palladium for use in a video. I always think I can see myself stage diving during it. They played the song live once. Then the played the recorded version 4 times in a row. OOOOOFFFFF (what was the date of that show??)
- Jaime once told Mullet he was going straight edge. That lasted for a few months until Hatebreed went to tour Europe. Apparently Jaime really, REALLY hates flying.
- Most importantly: Our Japanese Correspondent JBil is featured on this tee. Good look!
JBil side note** I remember when this shirt came out. it was a weekend and i was at home and i get a call from all around great dude Rich Perusi. so after the typical greetings and whats up he goes, “dude im at the mall and im staring at you.” “what the fuck are you talking about?!?　im at home”. He then went out to explain that he was at the mall in Boston and i was on this shirt on the wall of no where else but Hot Topic. i was confused and stoked. hopped in my car and paid i think like 22 bucks for it :( shootouts to Rich P. true dogg.
new comp coming next week. fuuuuck its been a long time
One day Jay will get his computer back, and he’ll have more to say. Until that day, wear this shirt in his honor.
