Monster Stomp on Ripper Row
- Thread starter Zachary

Is there a complete list of song selections compiled yet?
I have seen some song titles posted here, just curious as to the whole shows music.
Thanks in advance for any and all answers.

With the demise of Night Beats, and the unpredictability of Fiends, I have to say, this was my favorite show tonight.

The stuff they brought back from the old Monster Stomps.
The rapping was just about the only part I really didn't like, but it wasn't terrible, just weird. The Pre-shows where the actors came out and interacted with the crowd were very entertaining and fun. I thought the rest of the show was very nice, the vocals were amazing, and the ending was pretty neat.
This is the only show that I see potential in, as far as getting better as the season progresses.
The original Monster Stomp/MSR bits were amazing. The audience ate it up. The Ripper parts however, is another story entirely. Almost literally.
I have no idea why we go to hell at the end of the show. It makes zero sense to me, but it's sort of whatever?? It happens for such a short amount of time, that I was surprised when it was over.
Which is one thing. The show felt short. Like, when it was done I was left with a bit of a "that was it?" feeling. Not that I think it need more of the Ripper and the Prostitute, but it felt incredibly short.
As far as the Ripper and the Prostitute goes, I'm not fans of them, but I'm seriously hoping it'll improve as the season goes by. And that they were having sound issues today. Because the Prostitute was incredibly loud, to the point where I could barely understand her.
Also the transition from Monsters to Bring me to Life was atrocious. There was no segway, no leading into it, nothing. It was just them singing/rapping (Which is still awful btw.) Monsters, and then it abruptly stops, and it's suddenly Bring me to Life. It was terrible. If I had one thing to fix in the show, it'd be that.
That being said, the transition into the skeletons was fantastic. I was really wondering how they were gonna include the skeletons into the show, considering it's mostly Ripper Row, and it worked so incredibly well. I don't even know how it worked with the show, but it did.
So overall, I enjoyed it. And I seriously hope this show improves, because it really does have the potential to be the best show this season. (Which honestly isn't saying much, comparing it to Night Beats or Fiends. But I'd say it has the potential to be 2012 show level.)

OK. I actually liked the show. We went three times on Friday to this show.
I didn't WANT to like the show, after they killed a girl in the 1st 30 seconds -- a girl that they had just spent 10 minutes introducing to us through the pre-show, a girl that most decidedly was not a prostitute, but just some woman looking for her sister. And they just killed her. And then I'm supposed to like the Ripper guy? It was hard.
But I did. Even though he killed the lead singer. And then she killed him. And it was all so random. But I liked it. It hurts me to say I like "Wake Me Up" enough that it didn't bother me that the transition was non-existent. My daughter and I both commented on that, just like the comment above said.
I was sure Scott would destroy this show, but he seems to have been thwarted by having to incorporate old Monster Stomp elements.

There is a difference between a cool villain and an evil hero. Unless he has a Byronic back story, it makes no sense.
Man books, and literature, and reading and stuff
I certainly didn't get the impression that you were supposed to like the Ripper. I felt that it was more along the lines of watching a horror movie, between the Ripper and the Prostitute. You know the whole: "DON'T GO INTO THE BEDRO- You went into the bedroom, and now look at what happened. You died. A+ there you intelligent human being." feeling.Nicole said:
This is pretty much the reason I compared the show to 50 Shades of Grey. There's a romance there and there's absolutely no reason why you want to feel connected to the romance because you know he's a bad side and you know something bad is going to happen to her.

Don't forget Rhythm of Life. Looks like this is where all the LR influence was hidden!

I thought my friend and I were the only ones that loved it enough to see it three times Friday as well. Great show!
The show was pretty good. Having never seen Monster Stomp before, I came in with fresh opinions on everything.
The bad
- The show felt a tad off. Maybe I expected more since everyone seems to oogle over Monster Stomp. It seemed rather short too.
- Story didn't really seem all that dark to me. The opening scene was pretty much the darkest part of the show.
The good
- The drummers and the skeletons were awesome. I'm assuming those were the former Monster Stomp elements that were brought back.
- Song numbers were good enough for me. Expected a few darker/heavier songs here and there, but overall pretty good.
- Dat opening scene
- I was pretty neutral about them including Monsters as one of the songs. It fits with the whole "monsters" theme and if the actor really did rap those lines, he did a pretty impressive job. But the song could be cut out and the show would still be the same.
Overall, no disappointment here. Me and my friends loved it.

Really, I'm good with the entire show, save for one song. Scott, please, please stop using songs from obscure musicals. Next time you watch Monster Stomp, look at the audience during Rhythm of Life. Lots of blank stares. Nobody's singing along, nobody's smiling, because nobody has heard of the stupid song! At least they got rid of Jitterbug in Night Beats. Seriously, a song that was cut from Wizard of Oz?
