I had a crazy theory as to what's wrong with local shows[views:8135][posts:105]_________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 3:48pm - SacreligionNLI ""] Every place i want to rent says they don't do shows because some assholes had to ruin it for everyone and every club does 21+ because they want liquor sales...not cover charges therefore...kids(who everyone thinks will boost it back up) suck and ruin it...because they don't understand how to live |
| ______________________________ [Nov 17,2005 3:50pm - BSV ""] true, but you forgetting simply that metal is a tough "business". |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 3:59pm - SacreligionNLI ""] that has nothing to do with what i said at all |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:02pm - SacreligionNLI ""] also, the people who run these halls are morons...like the last guy i just talked to |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:03pm - ninkaszi ""] maybe you just suck at promotion and are lazy? |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:04pm - SacreligionNLI ""] yeah cuz you really have the information to make such an educated judgment such as that one |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:05pm - SacreligionNLI ""] it's not like i haven't been busting my ass trying to put together as many shows as possible so more people will have places to play...dick |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:05pm - ninkaszi ""] you couldnt even find wathmakers fucking website to contact them...LAZY. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:06pm - ninkaszi ""] whatever, you know whats wrong? your band huffs fucking dong. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:07pm - SacreligionNLI ""] it's funny...considering their contact info wasn't even on their website and by the way my band's the shit...so stop lying |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:10pm - ninkaszi ""] so find their myspace. lazy fag band guy. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:11pm - SacreligionNLI ""] who the fuck are you anyway? another anonymous douche who doesn't have anything positive to do with his life so he tries to rag on everyone else for doing something with theirs? |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:12pm - ninkaszi ""] nah, i'm not anonymous. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:20pm - SacreligionNLI ""] please elaborate |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:20pm - SickSickSicks ""] hahahah. far from it. you're talking to a dude who plays and has played in some of the best metal bands around! I understand you're frustrations man. And its true, it is sad that so many shows are 21 plus now and that some places get scared of lawsuits or damages or whatver. thats just the way it is. all that considered though I thinnk our scene is in pretty decent shape compared to some others |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:23pm - SacreligionNLI ""] well that's a given...i know it's far better than any other local music scene in the world and have known that since i was 12...which is why i get real fuckin annoyed by some asshole who needs to talk shit when all i'm tryin to do is help |

| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:28pm - SacreligionNLI ""] that was pretty ignorant...you still haven't told me who you are |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:30pm - SickSickSicks ""] no offense but I dnt think getting into an online pissing contest is "helping" anything |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:30pm - ninkaszi ""] what does it matter who i am? this isn't a pissing contest. i'm just ragging on you and your gay band because i am sick of seeing stupid threads like this. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:32pm - SacreligionNLI ""] because you make bold statements about local music while you're hiding behind a screen name, yet calling me and my band gay perhaps other people on here know who you are but i certainly don't |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:33pm - SacreligionNLI ""] all i did was comment on an observation i had made after calling about 10 different places trying to book a show and getting the same bullshit from all of them |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:33pm - ninkaszi ""] my name is michael beckwith. i'm not hiding anything. have a tissue? |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:34pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Besides, I piss better than alla youse. I'm, like, world class. No contest. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:34pm - SacreligionNLI ""] ok...i was more interested what band you were in but at least you were honest |
| __________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:34pm - brian_dc ""] i hate to say it...but the fact that places are 21+ has very little to do with it. Sure it keeps a few kids out...but most kids aren't going to go to a show without nationals on it. It comes down to promotion, and most of us are not as good at it as we like to think we are. Nowadays it can't be about getting a good draw at local shows anyway, but that's a lesson for later. |

Nowadays it can't be about getting a good draw at local shows anyway, but that's a lesson for later. i see what you're saying...but i was just saying that there is a lack of all ages places in general...and that it's often the crowd's own fault for getting out of hand and scaring places away from wanting to do concerts whether it be some drunk assholes breaking shit or some stupid kids trying to drink underage inside the venue i'd like to think each band does their own fair share of promoting, even though almost all of it is online...but that is probably the most direct way of getting it to everyone, the only other places to promote are music stores and shows |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:48pm - BornSoVile ""] your crazy theory is really nothing new. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:52pm - SacreligionNLI ""] well that's terrible news...i felt compelled to share it anyhow |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:53pm - ninkaszi ""] looks like you made a lot of progress with your groundbreaking theory. shithead. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:54pm - SacreligionNLI ""] you should really shut your fuckin mouth...or paralyze your hands either way...there's no need |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 4:56pm - BornSoVile ""] wow |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:03pm - ninkaszi ""] SacreligionNLI said:you should really shut your fuckin mouth...or paralyze your hands either way...there's no need hahaha waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh nobody loves me and my silly gothenburg massachusetts band... WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:06pm - SacreligionNLI ""] have you ever even heard or seen us before? gothenburg massachusetts band? that's the most ludicrous thing i've ever heard i also fail to see how sticking up for myself makes me a crybaby |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:09pm - ninkaszi ""] yes i have heard it and you guys are just another reason why metal has gone down the toilet in the past ten years. you don't like my description? how about this? cheese keys widdly melodic false metal? |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:14pm - SacreligionNLI ""] oh no...im not going to be able to impress some pretentious douchebag i suppose your band is some sort of real metal eh? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:14pm - BornSoVile ""] if you listened to metal within the past 5 years you would have heard the term gothenburg massachusettes or swedenchusettes or whatever. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:15pm - ninkaszi ""] how about trend metal? i think that fits you guys well. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:19pm - SacreligionNLI ""] and i suppose norwegiachusetts black metal describes all you guys all this is going to do is go back an forth |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:19pm - SickSickSicks ""] :LOL: what about "crapcore"? ive always loved that term |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:20pm - SacreligionNLI ""] you could go out on a limb and use borecore if you really wanted to |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:21pm - BornSoVile ""] i love how anytime someone doesn't like someone's band, they're automatically an elitist. if only everyone was as passionate as mike... |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:23pm - SickSickSicks ""] SacreligionNLI said:you could go out on a limb and use borecore if you really wanted to no, no. i wasnt referring to ninkaszis bands. like i said, hes in some of the best around. i was refferring to your band, but in truth I havent even heard your band and was just being a dick for no reason :doublehorns: |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:24pm - SacreligionNLI ""] i wasn't talking about his band...but be a dick all you want and no one ever said anything about elitists...i try to stay far away from that term as possible because the thought of it is even more aggravating than this argument |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 5:32pm - SickSickSicks ""] hahaha. no hard feelings. i was just kidding around as usual! aye! fuck elitists. Anyone who thinks they're too cool to mosh or even bang their head at a show is...well...of course they're welcome to come coz the more the merrier, but I jsut dont understand 'em |
