don't complain about NE metalfest cost of tix[views:10849][posts:98]_________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 7:40pm - succubus ""] i know some people were bitching about the cost of the tix going up...well the people organzing it are pissed about having to raise the prices themselves blame it on metal being "en vogue" .. a lot of bands raised their costs of playing the show..a lot DOUBLED their price...one band went so far as raise their price when they found out they were "headlining" one night... some bands were asked to play...bands that started out playing the palladium..one LOCAL band wanted 18k to play (they are not on it)....anyhow, i won't name names but people got greedy...and that's why |
_______________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 7:42pm - MetalcoreSUCKS ""] The ticket prices are reasonable.The only complaint that I have is the 99 percent of the bands SUCK BALLS!!! |
_______________________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 7:45pm - give me head...liners ""] I wont have to complain since I'm not buying tix and I never will. Fests are a joke. |

_____________________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 9:48pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] $18,000!? I didn't know a year's subscription to the NAMBLA newsletter cost that much. |
_________________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 9:55pm - davefromthegrave ""] see, if I was running the show, and some bands wanted so much money that i had to raise ticket prices, i'd just find bands that weren't so fucking greedy. that way it would at least still be a metalfest, instead of a moneyfest. but I'm stupid enough to care about art, so what the fuck do i know? |
__________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 10:00pm - succubus ""] well as i said above, they said no to that band and they're not playing this year |

_________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 9:56am - SteveOTB ""] I'm not complaining about the prices at all. I counted 91 bands for the whole weekend at the price of $109.50. If you do the math that's $1.20 a band which is pretty good in my opinion. |

I'm sure a lot of the unsigned bands in the area would play that show for free Dude even if I was signed I'd still do it for free to show where your roots are and not demand $18,000 for 30-45 minute set. My band all came to the conclusion that if we did get really big and some kid asked us to play a hall show we'd surprise them and do it. The feeling of someone saying "man I remember seeing them at this hall show" is a pretty good feeling; makes them feel like the band isn't all about money and fame. |
__________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 10:46am - SteveOTB ""] By the way if a band played a 45 minute set for $18,000.00 that's $400.00 a minute. |

_____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 10:59am - Josh_Martin ""] The whole point of the fest is for Massconcerts to make a profit. They squeeze every dollar they can out of it. Why shouldn't the bands get a piece of that? If they can get John Peters to pay them $18K, good for them. That's a drop in the bucket of what this fest will pull in. |

___________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:44pm - dreadkill ""] i haven't wanted to play this fest in a couple years. it used to be one of the highlights of the year for me, then they pretty much stopped getting good european bands and added way more american cookie cutter core. |
_____________________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:45pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I believe we sent a CD to try and get on, against all odds. (ExAgenda, not Hatchet). Wasn't really too much of a waste, we just sent a CDr. |
_______________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:45pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] Mass Concerts will make more money from paying bands to fill it up, then offering spots to local bands they don't have to pay because they just make their money back and then some on merch sales, which they cut into. I forget which tour it was, but I was asked how much of a cut I was going to take from merch sales haha, I wasn't quite sure what they meant at first. |

_____________________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:48pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I did find it shocking that a band like Killswitch or Shadows Fall, whose popularity relied HEAVILY on their Palladium appearances in the old days, would charge the Palladium so much. I wonder if it was simply some contractual thing with a booking agent and whether they had a choice. |
__________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:51pm - succubus ""] they had a choice... Apr 3,2006 10:48am - the_reverend] that's not a can do attitude there. sell out and then you will get signed and get all the money. |
_____________________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:52pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Well in that case, I am in fact appalled. But no more than I already was by those bands (just don't like their music). |
_______________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:52pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] You guys probably haven't thought about some of these huge bands in business terms. View the band as a business, the band members are employees, on top of other staff (agent, band manager, road manager, lawyer, tech people etc) who all need to get paid. Bands like Unearth can't play shows they want to, they play shows they are booked to play by their agent. The band might not care about playing a hall show or a fest for less money, but all the people who make their living off the band do care because thats their bread and butter. They have legal contracts with all these people that they are obligated to follow, so showing their roots has nothing to do with this at all and you are all fools if you think thats the case. |

_______________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:57pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] I can't believe I was put in a position where I had to stick up for big business metal bands. I hate you all. |
______________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:58pm - the_reverend ""] I've tried suggesting a couple bands to scott to have on the bill each year except for this one.. and I never get listened to. there are a few bands who have posted here that would go over well. I wish I had the ability to pick the opening bands each day. but I don't seem to have any pull on the locals that get added. if you want to get on metalfest here's how, get a show at cabbot st. impress scott lee, get people to dance, and get people in through the door. then talk to him. get him to take notice of your band. play cabbot st a few more times and BANG. you'll get on metalfest. it usually helps to have a friend who's "in" with scott to get shows at cabbot st too. like say if you are best fiends with ken susi (like 1/2 of you say you are). the fact of the matter (love it or leave it) is that scott gets 450984529 demos and submissions and calls and emails. on top of all that, he's got all the local bands that are around him hounding to play. So if you haven't played cabbot st and are local, 99.999% assured to not get on metalfest. |

I've spoken to the guy a few times back when I used to do interviews and get press passes there, and he definitely is hounded, especially in this area, which has more metal/grind/hardcore bands per square mile than most other areas of the USA. |
______________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 1:01pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] Bane of Existence played one year and it didn't do anything for them. I'd say playing Bostons Dead was more crucial to their band career then the Palladium ever was |

_____________________________ [Apr 3,2006 1:05pm - Yeti ""] my only argument is that previously the tickets were half the price with bands twice as good. but i can understand needing to raise the price in terms of business. it just sucks. |

Of course I'm going to need to get paid for shows to pay for a road crew, technicans, food, gas, and everything else. I'm not stupid. |
____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 1:05pm - RustedAngel ""] We've worked with Ken, we will be working with him for our full length and we're still not on metalfest. lol. We've played the palladium 3 times so far and I don't think Scott was at any of the shows, we've e-mailed him a bunch about Cabot St. shows also with no reply. It's kind of weird having been to all the fests at the palladium and numerous other shows there so it's kind of a slap in the face. |

In addition I'm also negotiating a 13 cent charge for every time I've been caused to go out of my way to make fun of the acacia strain... which will tack another $42,000 onto the bill. Have fun. |
