[TheEmerald92]

[justworsham]

This was Michfest not Detroit fest

[iTriedVoodooOnce]

Do you have any more videos from this fest?

[NocturnalPirate]

Please turn off the fucking Van Halen CD

[jeffphillips666]

the locust in their prime

[snoristerlison]

when you play this amazing it really doesn't fucking matter what you look like.

[LifeUnderTheSwatter]

"Can you please turn off the fuckin' Van Halen, please?" "Hit the stop button, its pretty basic."

[UKNOWIT88]

damn they look like bunch of emo douchbags

[WackWizerdX]

I have seen the same sign of the stereotypical 80's guy that looks like carl mixed with Danny McBride at my local venue. No idea what it is, but would love enlightenment.

[NARF187]

lol gabe playing guitar. damn this vid is ooooollllldddd

[Stalfos212]

Ahaha, oh wow, they looked like The Strokes

[agricola]

@Stalfos212 the strokes look like them

[victormiller]

lol justin's scene hair

[brobroish]

when did they start wearing costumes?

[DDRfrosh1]

I need to visit Detroit.

[mikedelgado8888]

amazing even back in the day you could tell they were set to stardum

[scenepointnazi]

I was at Detroit fest in 1999 when the Crimson Curse played and those tables around the stage collapsed with all those people standing on them. haha

[LifeUnderTheSwatter]

great video man. that show must've been amazing.

[agricola]

(thankfully) i never saw this band in their "costume" phase.........

[agricola]

i remember a bunch of naked kids wrapped in police tape running around during their set and leshok's set..........

[iTriedVoodooOnce]

@agricola

LMFAO.

[agricola]

i remember a bunch of naked kids wrapped in police tape running around in the pit during their set and leshok's set.......shit was crazy......even though im not too much of a fan of either bands.......

[eatdogs]

old school spock and romulan emo mullets...

[justinsanesaid12]

i was sure they all wore weird masks

[deathfromahug]

@skatepunkoi, i think your thinking of the female prison guard. its what popped into my head the second i saw those signs after i read what you said

[br4ve]

man shit is hectic

[skatepunkoi]

those cartoon face things on the sign look like a mix between carl from aqua teen hunger force, joe stalin and some dude i saw on superjail one time.....i want to know the story behind those signs.....

looks like a fucking crazy show

[scurvyturtle]

I'm in the pit there. The sign guy is called "The Truth" made by crazy Florida kids. I still have buttons and a poster of The Truth from that fest.

[victormiller]

justin's hair HAHAHAHAHAHA

[bloodinthesnow]

wtf is with the people holding up the posters of what looks like a cartoon face?

[Svenous]

the opening part reminds me of the nation of ulysses

[bearmightythe]

woah...what a trip, no costumes...

[gandhisvision]

so is that gabe serbian on guitar doing vox as well??

[Scornedbydeth]

yes that is gabe doin vox

[RobcsiMobcsi]

hash

[iamthelazerviking]

RAD! Back when they had 2 guitar players. And look at that crowd.

[thomaskenneally]

that's a great fucking turn out. way to go detroit.

[Thelaofkazi]

To be honest, I always imagined them back in their early days weaing really crappy versions of their current constumes, like they would be made of cardboard or something.

[GMR619]

hahaha..i could imagine that too. too weird.

[Thelaofkazi]

Its really weird seeing the band without their costumes. I've only seen them with their constumes on until this point and I always imagined them older, in this video their looks remind me of The Strokes for some reason.

[Stalfos212]

@Thelaofkazi: LOL, they DO look like The Strokes, that's crazy...

[KromePlatedMegafone]

moth eaten deer head. fuck yea

[Ionescut123123123123]

HASHTHRASH-Shitty camera? You mean shitty band. Cocksucker

[EastWestBlastTest]

whats the name of the first song they open up with

[deathdruglb]

get off the cross the wood is needed

[TeslaSMTM]

DEATH TO THIS FALSE GRIND!!!

[DOYOUWANTTHISflannel]

haha look at gabes kit before and look at it now it went from like a 10 piece to a 4 piece

[jfk1976]

gabe was still on guitar back then. dave was the drummer.

[DOYOUWANTTHISflannel]

oh yea

[420jaymac]

you queers read teenie booper to find this shit out

[halfeatensausage]

fucking amazing

[israelihitman]

They had an even better shock effect before the costumes. They look like a bunch of Nikki Sixx wannabe Motley Crue cover band rejects. Then they start playing and it's as if your being hit in the face with a crowbar. The first time I saw them was around this time and me and my friends were on our way out the door thinking they were a bunch of queers then they started playing and we all turned around instantaneously and fought our way into the pit.

[jakobraham]

fuckin' JP sporting that rickenbacker. sick as fuck.

[xdarkdaysx]

"could you please turn off the fuckin van halen cd, please."

just like spinal tap.

[cmndrlng]

The Truth!!!

[Twig6]

"Please turn off the fucking Van Halen CD! Please!"

[waxanimalparts]

holy crap. never knew jp was so tallll.

[atdichris]

jp isn't that tall. he's like 5'10" or so. the other members are just relatively short.

[MMZen]

Holyshit, look at the size of those emo mullets. More like emo aphros. Is this back when they still shared members with Cattle Decap? LOL at the flying trash can.

[CocoaShunter]

what an insanely loud sound they have here, and that crowd is just unbelievably huge! wish I couldve seen this.

[coryfingrady]

Goddammit Michigan Fest ruled.. naked Crimson Curse set anyone? The Swarm? Creation is Crucifixion? Best time of my life.

[mymugwump]

great video. that would have been an interesting show. all open and completely lit. lots of people too. good stuff. damn van halen.

[guziel123]

This is rare,to see the Locust without their outfits.

[guziel123]

The Locust without their outfits?

[teesabrat]

I remember this so well. I WAS SO EXCITED and we were apparently standing next to one anther there.

[babyrapor]

Wow....what a great video. I even heard an early version of "The Half Eaten Sausage Would Like to See You in His Office."

[JaaackTheRipperrr]

can someone figure out what pearson says in the begining

[Puncturedlung]

He keeps telling whoever is running the PA to turn off the Van Halen CD that is playing.

[SomeShows]

This video kicks major ass. Post the rest of the parts!

[hawaiiandisco]

sweet video.

[DaughtersTHPS]

YES!

I love the locust, This is pretty old But I will cherish it :]
