Claas's solo set was dope. I gotta check out more of that ninjas work. It was then time for Lex (who was the only reason for me buying an after party ticket). He... was... trash...

No energy, didn't look at all like he wanted to be there, and he had a hype man who was this scrawny white dude with long hair. Everyone was kind of confused by this (It's like me being up there for fuck sake.) This guy was basically front and center on the stage the whole set while Lex stayed towards the shadows in the back barely rapping any of his lyrics. Straight wack.

Damn, he's still like that?  I've seen him perform twice, and both times were shortly after they signed him.  I figured it was because he wasn't used to doing live shows and didn't have a connection with the fans yet, so I gave it a pass.  He just kinda stands there and raps like he's reading off the lyrics from his phone, then after the songs end he yells "WE STILL WHILIN! WE STILL WHILIN!" until the next song starts, then he repeats that.  His studio music is dope, though.

Hey man.  What are you tryna say about scrawny white dudes with long hair?

Another year another Rock and Shock Twiztid show that in my opinion did not disappoint!

We showed up at the Worcester Palladium around 6 and made our rounds in the parking lot, seeing old and new friends, pre-gaming and all that goes along with it. Headed inside to check out Insane Poetry and Scum. As they performed we hit up the merch booth and checked out all the renovations done in the venue.

The first major hi-light of the night was the performance by A.X.E. The first time I saw them was at AOTN2 but their performance in Worcester was totally different.  They thrive on a larger stage and the acoustics of the Palladium made them sound Powerful. The masks didn't muffle the lyrics as much this time and their stage performance was not as crowded. I only wish their set was longer.

UGA came on next. Bukshots mic was either off or he was relying too much on the back track because all it looked like was lip syncing from him and Boondox. Claas saved their set with high-energy and he rapped his ass off.  They had a cool stage prop that had a door that would open and close as each member took the stage. I don't think many people were familiar with their material otherwise the crowd would have been a little more loud for them.  I wasn't a fan of the ads running on the monitor behind them (they should have just kept the UGA logo on the screen for the duration of the set.

The top highlight was the Twiztid performance, they hit the stage and started off with Nosferatu (one of my favorites). They played a pretty good range of songs that covered most eras of their music. They had some stage props and a played music videos and horror clips on the monitor that was centered above Drayven; both of these elements enhance the stage spectacle. From my viewpoint the mosh pit was going hard most of the night and the crowdsurfers didn't seem to take a break-which is always part of the fun for me. Their entire set was hype.

After-party hi-lights was Claas and Bukshot's solo performances (their first time ever playing in Worcester).

After-party performances from Lex and Boondox were disappointing. Lex has this hype man that has a lot to learn and Lex needs to not rely on him so much. I've seen much better and expected much better from him. By the time Boondox took the closing spot many attendees had left so there wasn't a lot of crowd energy to feed back to him unfortunately. At least we got some new Turncoat Dirty songs live.

Overall I think MNE put on a great show for Worcester. I'm still bruised and sore and for me that is proof of a good time.

Love that people are noticing what I've been seeing from Claas for 15+ years! 

I haven't seen the Fright Fest tour yet, but will in 9 days!  The Clowns were in town last night and I can't even get behind what @Chuckieboy said even a little.  Ouija and ICP both slayed their sets!  It's ICP's best set list in years (that isn't an album show). Energy was through the roof!  Dallas Juggalos are live as fuck though, so I'm sure that adds to it.  

Yea Scottie I'd say the fact they showed up after midnight when we'd all been standing there for the last 5 hours waiting did have some impact on my hate...
