If you want tickets for iwrestledabearonce on 4/8 in Melrose, MA[views:66053][posts:347]___________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 9:02pm - ryan_nli ""] thebloodening said: Ryan_nli said: thebloodening said:just play a few shows for scott lee, then you'll know to just stop crying and fucking deal with it if you care about playing music... Scot Lee makes bands pay to play? I played shows for him for years, ranging from shows no ones at, to downstairs palladium shows and never once have ticket sales been a requirement. there not, but every band usually gets like 50 tickets... well thats not entirely true. i never had to sell a ticket, nor did he ever give us tickets to any show he put us on. and we played for him relatively often. |

It's completely different people who would come out for each show. while logic would dictate that, that's what I was told was the reason for the turnout |

Like everyone else I beg to differ, those are some of the best shows being run by bands who know the needs of bands and what it means to actually "promote". |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 26,2009 10:46am - the_reverend ""] but if that is the case.. wouldn't then by default it be the bands selling the tickets/taking money at the door? |

Do I take this as a shot at my (ex)band or are you just saying in general? I don't believe you ever booked my band. Also, I can honestly say in the 8 years that my shitty band played shows, we never had to borrow equipment (if we did, we just dealt with one of the other bands, not the promoter). We also rarely played weeknights, so no occasion to whine. I've never had any delusions of grandeur about music or "making it". Caring about things is extremely gay. |

Got so many fucking MASK and GI Joe toys and oldtimey skate and rasslin videos there. Zayres > trendy sandbox faggot pseudometal... unless that singer chick with the shitty star tattoos is into anal of the Rocco Siffredi persuasion. Or perhaps the J.Dwyer variation where she'd let me shoot the rocket from my Miles Mayhem "Outlaw" tanker into her yawning arse-maw over and over again while watching old Bones Brigade videos. In which case, she may have a slight edge over Zayre's. |
