[QUOTE="xmikex:1271069"]Dear Legit Venue Owner, Not everybody wants to pay $500 to rent a space for a venue. Not everyone wants to sit around until their 21st birthday for the right to listen to music. Not every touring band has time to wait for Metal Thursday or figure out which cool dude promoter they need to kiss ass to so they can play with Goatwhore. As long as there has been music there have been basement/warehouse/DIY anywhere shows. If your bar went out of business its because you're a shitty business man. The best period of music I ever experienced in New England was the JustAnotherScene era. People booked DIY shows on a nightly basis. 17 year old kids coaxed VFW halls into booking amazing shows and paid the police detail blood money with their allowance. DIY venues where everywhere. Basement shows were everywhere. Touring bands always stopped here because there was always a place to play and there was always something going on. If some butthead promoter was throwing a temper tantrum then you said fuck him, and booked your own show. We got to see awesome bands consistently because of it. And you know what? The big venues still flourished. The Palladium made bank. The Middle East made bank. The Met made bank. Lupos made bank. So boo hoo if you and your $9 budweisers went bankrupt. Grimey illegal shows for fucking ever.[/QUOTE]
