CANDY STRIPER DEATH ORGY said:

I guess you weren't around back when the metal scene was big in the northeast. Yes, we've brought in 1000 people twice to the Escape Club (our old hometown club). You want proof? I've got the video's and you can ask a few of the old bouncers that used to work there. They still hang out at Club 125.

Just to make a point here, I am not on either side of this whole CSDO thing, but...

I find it strange that I went to just about every metal show at the Escape Club/Sneakers/etc. during those years, and played at many with Death, Sick of It All, Mercyful Fate and other bands when I was in an earlier band (ALERT/later SWIVEL). I do not remember the capacity for the club ever reaching 1000 even in the 90s, certainly not for a local group, I have seen the Grind Crusher tour there, Nuclear Assault/Coroner, the death festivals, and many many more, and never were there 1000 people. I could have sworn that the former owner (Colin? or someone) told me the record show there was a glam band, Danger Danger, and that had a crowd of about 1000 many of which who weren't let in?!?

Every CSDO show I saw there (with other bands playing) had nigh a few hundred people, maybe less. I have never seen a local show there where CSDO was the headlining band, but I'm sure I could have missed a few!

So I'm calling you out a bit. Please post the video online of a show, where the RTTP forumers here can clearly see a capacity of 1000 heads there solely to see Candy Striper Death Orgy HEADLINING show. Any shows with other headliners do not count. Any band that can draw 1000 people to a club in the late 80s would clearly have been picked up by a record label, yet your discography as per METAL ARCHIVES shows nothing but demos and only a recent signing to a local label...is this correct?!?

Again, I am not taking sides here, anonymous CSDO members, I am just checking my own reality which I pretty clearly remember (unless I have gone insane). Please post an .avi or other readily accessible video file where my fellow RTTP forumers can see a crowd of 1000 CSDO fans at a show to see CSDO. If you're telling the truth and there are shows where 1000 CSDO fans showed up, then all your naysayers can eat a bag of dicks, right? If people see the proof, then they'll have nothing to argue over, n'est pas?
