[QUOTE="theaccurseddrummer:547831"]blackmetallady said:[QUOTE]Excuse me sir. I don't ask bands to pay to play. I never have. I have a select few locals that I work with that draw well and I pay them. I just don't hold anything against promoters who require pay to play. Sometimes I give a new band a shot. I asked RAOV to open for Goatwhore last month and they didn't sell any tickets, but I didn't care, because they pleased an unknown crowd in a market they have never played before. You're screaming at the wrong promoter, sweetie. [/QUOTE] To dispel your assumption about my argument here, my point was regarding pay to play in general, not aimed at anyone in particular. I never claimed that you did or didn't do anything, it was about the concept of paying to play, which you defended. If you don't personally practice it, then you probably realize that it's a practice that takes advantage of young bands, and that the promoters who regularly utilize that tactic are passing the buck on paying the headliner and promoting the show to a band that should be getting paid to play, not the other way around. Therefore it astounds me that you wouldn't take a specific stance against it, since bands and even fans see that shit is "the promoter's fault." It makes all show promoters look bad. I never said you did it, but I'm not going to sit around and let anyone defend it because it sucks. If you promote, you know what your local crowd likes and book accordingly, not book random bands and force them to do your job. Talking about a particular market is laughable in this scene, it's virtually impossible to pin down something like that in metal, you don't know what's hot today and gay as shit tomorrow, bands who draw great in one town draw like shit in another two miles down the road, and that's no fault of theirs. Incidentally, I'm hardly screaming. I do that in all caps, as it should be. Oh, and after the things you've said about my sister, whether provoked or not, I would appreciate if you not call me cute little pet nicknames. blackmetallady said:[QUOTE]sweetie[/QUOTE] You don't even know me.[/QUOTE]
