______________________________________ [Jun 15,2006 8:40pm - the_reverend ""] it's like 95% bands I hate, but I would like to shoot more outdoors shows. |
__________________________________________ [Jun 15,2006 8:55pm - everpessimistnow ""] yes, that is my plan. not enough outdoor shows these days :( i am wondering who else is going to pick this up... |

___________________________________ [Jun 16,2006 12:21pm - SteveOTB ""] Yeah Locobazooka is the worst pay to play I've ever seen in my natural born life. Tickets are what? Over 30 dollars and each band needs to sell like 500+ tickets I heard if I'm not mistaken. So basically you need to hand them anywhere from $15,000 and up so if that's the case then I'm all set. |
_________________________________ [Jun 16,2006 1:21pm - mcmahon ""] Did anyone go last year? |
____________________________________ [Jun 16,2006 1:34pm - anonymous ""] mcmahon said:Did anyone go last year? Just the suckers in bands willing to shell out enough to buy a brand new car so they'd have 15 minutes on stage on borrowed or shared equipment while some manic-panic-pink-haired-prepubescent-fat girl-in-her-Hot-Topic-outfit/uniform screams but doesn't even know or care who the fuck your band is and will never take the initiative to find out after the show unless you get played on 'AAF. Don't EVER pay someone to play a gig; keep your fucking rock star bullshit dream in check and don't give the sleaze ass promoters the idea that they can charge bands for floortime & make life harder for those of us who play only because we love to make music and could give a rat's ass about the mallmetal fucktards. |
____________________________________ [Jun 16,2006 1:42pm - anonymous ""] ..oh, and Emergenza, Nemo and all those other ridiculous events should fucking cease to exist as well...I'm not sure whether to be angry at the bands that support this shit, or feel sorry for 'em that they got suckered. |
__________________________________ [Jun 16,2006 1:46pm - SteveOTB ""] I support it to an extent. Maybe sell a few tickets for a few bucks to get on some really decent shows isn't bad but these places/people like The Bomb Shelter, Emergenza, Nemo, Locobazooka, having to sell a shit load of tickets and such is fucking rediculous. |

____________________________________ [Jun 16,2006 1:55pm - anonymous ""] Lalonde gives them metal cred, and Claypool can obviously work his way around a bass quite nicely. I can see the talent and the appeal, but forgive me for thinking they're a bit too on the "silly" side with their whole goofiness factor. Don't hate 'em, don't love 'em either. I hate the granola bars who go to see 'em though. |

Layne wrote some great songs for them, but him writing the music doesnt matter if you take away his voice from all those songs AIC wouldnt be AIC. they dont play a style of music you can just throw any singer up there and say hey sing these lyrics.

It's just one of those cases. Often, a band can get past this. In the case of a Layne, Halford, Dickinson, or other iconic rock/metal legend, I can't get past it. |
__________________________________________ [Jun 20,2006 6:42pm - everpessimistnow ""] well, i will never be able to see AIC as it was intended, so i will at least see them this way. what can ya do? |

I should have Meliah Rage and Nuclear Assault on this show soon....... If everybody comes out and shows support........ I'm sure that New England Concerts and 3D Entertainment will help put on a THRASHFEST. Plus, I think it's a great idea for bands (all of the ones on this board) to bring promo to give out. This is a great way to get your band noticed to over 20 thousand people!! Don't forget, their will be people from magazines, record labels, radio stations, clubs, etc., etc. So, think about going......... I know that most of you (including me) don't care for 80% of the bands. If you want to go contact me (Eric Paone) at : CSDOband@aol.com. I've got tickets a lot cheaper than everybody else.

__________________________________________ [Jun 27,2006 2:06am - everpessimistnow ""] i agree, it could help a lot of people, but this one is heavy man. i can understand selling 50 tickets to play with Suffocation, but this is like a 200 minimum, and the base price is $37.50. not many good bands can afford that if they arent able to sell all the tickets. it closes the event to really good bands that arent able to take the risk. |

_________________________________ [Jun 27,2006 8:16am - ichabod ""] Last year some chick contacted us to play locobazooka; she knew our album titles and songs, and went on about how everyone involved in the event would LOVE to see us on the bill, etc. We thought she was sincere and although we were skeptical due to the nature of the event, we looked further into it....ends up she was just soliciting us like all the rest, wanted "X" amount of money for tickets upfront, yada, yada ,yada. Needless to say we told her to piss off. She was nothing more than a salesperson, one who did just a bit of homework before contacting us, thinking she'd woo us by knowing so much about the band. Fucking hooker. |

__________________________________________ [Jun 27,2006 9:16am - everpessimistnow ""] heh, you all have valid points, and its a shame that people are trying to trick you. but thats a fact of life in general, and in music, its even more prevalent. these things exist because bands pick up the bills man. and i think the point is that you have to bring a small army of fans (or friends or family members) with you that will pass out flyers blah blah. just playing the show isnt enough, but it doesnt differ from other shows in that respect. you cant just go to a dive bar, play a gig for a $40.00 bar tab and expect that everyone in the place is going to remember you or care to, you have to work the crowd and give them a reason to like you, good music isnt enough. this event is really expensive, but if you attack it you might get a good number of fans out of it. and i agree the set times bite, and the shared gear isnt good either, but i have seen the same things happen at regular local shows, so i guess you just have to adapt and be innovative. it sucks, but its reality. |

Are you trying to convince US, or yourself??? I respectfully disagree that you can't carve out your niche by playing dive bars and never doing these pay to play fests...I can think of many, many bands that have great followings who'd never play a chump fest like locobazooka, or any such nonsense. And great music IS enough; people will eventually take notice of you if you just keep doing your thing, and it's good. Lastly, in reference to your "get a good number of fans out of it" point, who the fuck wants locobazookians as "fans" in the first place??? I'd rather play to an O'Brien's full of fuckers with integrity than some soccer stadium full of retards. Yeesh...but good luck, may your ozzfest dreams come true!:spineyes: |
_________________________________ [Jun 27,2006 4:51pm - mcmahon ""] i dont care who plays as long as the sound is decent and doesn't make me feel disoriented to the point where I can't tell if they are playing or doing a soundcheck. who hasn't been apart of the 'stadium of retards' at one time or another? To me, bands who have their shit together and play in basements and dark bars have a responsibility to show stadium fans they can compete with stadium bands. Stadium fan sees non-stadium band and later supports more basement and dark bar shows. That's an advantage to playing large stadium shows. It's a lot of work to sell tickets, not to mention ponying up the cash to get started. Playing the show will probably the easiest part of the experience. |

If there was something good that comes out of it for bands shitloads more would jump on it, but the truth is 99% of the time your gonan show up, play, go home being no bigger than you were the night before. Who does this show benefit?! THE PROMOTER! You agree to a contract with them where you sell X amount of dollars, that X amount covers nearly all the costs of the promoters typically, so if nobody shows up they still get their cash! Thats why they do it, you could sit there and play to a big empty field with just the other bands watching and it wouldn't matter because the promoter got his money to pay for the bands, security, venue etc... The only difference is he took it out of your ass instead of you pissing hours of your life away selling overpriced tickets to whoever will buy them. Most of these fests have agreements with bands where if you don't cough up the cash they can take you to court to get the rest of it... it's blatant assrape. The worst about this show is how the promoters act under the guise that they are trying to help the local bands when in fact they are doing SHIT for them. They are using the local acts as a safety net to cover their ass if the show goes for broke. So before you knock people on this board for putting down this pay to play bullshit show, look at yourself first and realise that what your doing is just supporting a bullshit policy that is structured to more cripple local bands than help them. |

__________________________________ [Jul 3,2006 11:46am - Cecchini ""] the shittiest part of this show is big shovel of BULLSHIT the promoters feed you saying how much its gonna help your band, it's gonna do shit because most people who listen to WAAF are meatheads... They want to show up and see their new favorite nu metal band that WAAF constantly plays and thats it. If promoters REALLY want to help local bands heres what you can do: 1. When headliners come through and need local openers get bands that actually FIT WITH THE HEADLINER. If a death metal band comes through why are a chunk of their local openers metalcore or nu metal bands?! Oh yea cause the promoter just gives a shit about who agrees to sell tickets first, not for putting on the best show possible. 2. Do not FORCE bands to sell tickets to play your show, thats fuckin rubbish. Keep the money at the door if you want and give bands tix to sell for an OPTIONAL profit, thats pretty fair I would say. A majority of bands around here know how to spread the word and get the show out to people... Plus what exactly is the job of a promoter?! Oh yea, to promote. 3. Give new bands the chance. I know every show needs bands that can draw, but every band has to start from scratch at some point. You want to prove your worth to helping local bands, throw a new band on the middle of a show so people can actually hear them. 4. Shut down this loco-bullshit show. |

Definately, giving a band an option to sell tickets is a good idea and I competely agree on having bands that fit the actual bills. Mark's Show Place seems like they'll throw anyone on with any national that play there. Giving unknown bands a chance by putting them on bigger shows will really help them get their name out and more promoters should really start doing that. Promoters are getting so lazy these days by booking the shows, having the bands advertise them, and that's all they really do now it seems with the exception of a few. |

Regardless of their style of music, the majority of the rock bands on this bill will not achieve mainstream success. You can tell by simply listening to the lack of quality in their songwriting (check out any of their homepages), which is not even on par with the latest stuff you'd hear on the WAAF rotation, much of which is already gayer than a male Nightwish fan. People are going to go to this for Alice in Chains or another major label act, and maybe a few brave metalheads for CSDO and Meliah Rage. They do not care right now about 80% of the bill, and they will not care once they walk out of there either. |
__________________________________ [Jul 3,2006 12:38pm - SteveOTB ""] Seriously there's only like 2 band I'd want to see on that bill. Those being Alice In Chains and Jaded. We played with Jaded this weekend and they were an all girl old school metal band. Kind of reminded me of L7 with a more metal/punk flair to them. The chic guitarist was fucking insane, she was doing sweeps, tapping, and her playing was so smooth. At one point she stood up on the bar and started playing the solo for Van Halen's "Eruption". Pretty nuts. Plus they were all hot as hell. |

_________________________________________ [Jul 4,2006 3:19am - everpessimistnow ""] Loco was a good idea gone horribly wrong. i miss when it was at green hill park, and you could see all kinds of new bands in a semi-intimate setting. its sad that its mostly a money-making event now, but thats how most of these things turn out. as for Mark's Rock Club, i think there are just too many cooks in the kitchen. for both local shows and stadium shows, the wires have been crossed. bands are in a position where they not only have to promote shows, but they have to have a good business sense, and that isnt a good position. in the end, it takes away from the quality of the show, which in turn reduces the amount of people that want to go to a local show. id rather see bands like NSN writting new stuff or getting recording time than having to sell tickets. i think loco has some decent qualities, but only if good bands take these bills, or plan their own, but again, that forces them into the logistics, like getting sound permits, and advertising, and things that bands may not even have any experience with. its pretty much a catch 22. this year, loco is costing an average of $9,000 with an average number of tickets @ 200 for each local band. part of the heightened cost is due to the venue, but its still an assrape, because one ticket sold at $37.50 through a band is more than enough to pay one staff member for 1 hour, so if you do the math, 30 local bands could/are probably handling all the cost of the show, and advertising is essentially free, both AAF and BCN are plugging it, either positively or negatively. but its a tough position to be in, i want to support CSDO and Meliah Rage, because i think they are good bands. im just hoping that the day will run smoothly, and maybe one or two of these other bands will be good, and that maybe some of the people there will be turned onto the local scene, which was supposed to be the intention of locobazooka in the first place. heh, anyone ever seen 'Wicked Wisdom'?! I can feel the awesome metal of Jada Pinkette-Smith under my skin already. |

Koshick is a notorious rip off. In the old AC days he booked us to play that November to Dismember thing in Texas. He used our name on all the ads and promo. I know a bunch of kids got tickets because we were playing. Then, less than two weeks before the show, our plane tickets hadn't shown up yet. I tried to contact him to find out what was going on. He never responded. Then, one week before the showm our name was taken off the website. Basically he never had any intention of flying us out. He just used our name to sell tickets. He's done the same thing with several other bands too. Mostly European ones. |

__________________________________ [Jul 4,2006 10:50pm - Dankill ""] The fact of the matter this year is: This is so far one of the worst line ups Loco has ever had. I'm not talking about quality, per say, as much as number. They have like 5 headline bands, most of which has little or no airplay and the main headliner is the remains of a once great band with a dead lead singer. I remember when they had a lot of bands they actually played or bands that had a serious pull. Remember when one year could have Primus, Kid ock, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Machine Head, Faith No More, Static X, Korn, ect. They got NO ONE this year. 90% of it is locals no one has ever heard of! They don't even have the Harder Faster stage anymore which was becoming one of the main draws of the past two years. I'm not saying these bands are great by any means, but lets think about this. If you were booking this bill and compared it to past locos with a $60 price tag, does it match up at all to REALLY draw people??? NO, IT DOESN'T! Either the booker has fucked up big time or something is wrong. Funny side note, I have a source inside this whole deal who told me funny stories about last year. They had a chance to book Avenged Sevenfold, but passed on them for Dope, because they'd never heard of them. They even put up a poll on the WAAF and Loco message boards asking the people to pick between A7X and Dope. A7X won by a landslide and still didn't get booked. Dope was a one hit wonder that hadn't been in rotation on WAAF in 6-7 years. 4-5 months later, they are all over A7X's nuts and have "Bat Country" on all the time. Also, they had a choice between booking Clutch or Lamb of God. They picked Clutch over a price difference of $1000. Granted, I like Clutch, Lamb of God has a huge draw and $1000 extra for a huge notiable draw like that is a no brainer for a large festival and they blew it! Plus, What the hell is the point of going to the Tweeter Center?! That has to be more expensive then Green Hill Park or the Fitchberg airport. Plus, it limits the overall room for stages and playing. The local bands get worse every year, whereas years back you could see some REAL underground Hardcore and Metal bands play there and sell less tickets for less money. It just gets worse and worse every year and just boggles my mind in terms of just pure business. It leads me to believe one thing. They absolutely 100% do not give a damn at all anymore. And yes, IT'S A FUCKING SCAM! I'm happy for my friends in Burn In Silence to get the chance to play this show without all the crap in selling tickets and whatnot, but the fact remains that this is the worst line up for Loco ever and it may do minimal for them aside from blowing away some meatheads that don't even know dick about metalcore. |

Greenhill Park was flat out awesome there because it was smaller, more shaded, and you definately didn't need to run forever to get to another stage plus when I used to go there were 3 stages so I'm not sure how many there are this time. The lineup in the past Locobazooka's used to be great and overall it was a good time. Now it's just completely going down hill in my eyes. It is a rip off for the bands. I don't know if any of these bands can actually sell 200 tickets and I don't know if you can make money off this but I've always hated selling tickets. But hey if a band can sell 200 tickets at the drop of a hat then to eaches own. I just don't think it's worth it. |

_____________________________ [Jul 5,2006 3:30pm - Yeti ""] its just too bad that barely anyone works together. a band will step on your face to get one fraction of a step ahead of you, then bitch about "unity" when they are stepped on. i personally dont think there is any saving of the local scene. it will collapse before it gets any better. its easy for those that have friends in the scene and are "popular" local acts to say that things are fine. but when a band tries to emerge, if they arent cookie cutter they are just shit on. i think its up to the bands to boycott Loco in order to help support the local scene, but again, its all about getting one step ahead. |

____________________________________ [Aug 13,2006 9:48am - anonymous ""] AIC can throw any front man up there because the real Alice In Chains isn't Layne, it's Jerry Cantrell. Most of you thrashers don't realize it because all you know is a mush of speeding instruments and gargling vocals. Jerry is the voice that makes all the Alice signature harmonies that made AIC famous in the first place. Jerry wrote all the songs because Layne was in heroin loserville all the time. I can't wait to see Jerry in chains because they will be better than Layne in Chains!!!!!! |
