_________________________________ [Jun 23,2011 11:13am - Kevord ""] Joey Belladonna should have to sell tickets to play with PanzerBastard. K.Panzer has been on TV more in the last year then Joey has. Married with Children won't return his calls and he doesn't know why. |
________________________________________ [Jun 23,2011 11:33am - JustinVaettir ""] It's not pay to play, it's work to play, you fuckin hobby rockers. |
____________________________________ [Jun 23,2011 11:41am - dyingmuse ""] Awesome email, do it man!!!! While your at it how about do the promoters job....actually, I dont wanna lay brick today, could you do mine too? These people who say its the bands job, and they have to work is reidculous. They dont realize how much serious bands do work. Fuck that. |

So the band would make $180 IF they sold ALL the tickets, moved and setup all their equipment, and played? And if the show doesn't meet quota? What kind of dumbass thinks this is okay? |

_________________________________ [Jun 23,2011 11:55am - Kevord ""] I'm wondering the same thing I was when he played the Palladium a few months ago. Who's paying to see Joey Belladonna? I'm a huge Slayer fan but if Tom Araya was playing a solo show I probably wouldn't go out of my way to see him. |

_________________________________ [Jun 23,2011 12:01pm - Kevord ""] I'm sure Your Pain is endearing would be happy to sell tickets to Revocation. |
________________________________________ [Jun 23,2011 12:03pm - Blessed_Offal ""] I wouldn't sell tickets to play a show with Type O Negative opening for Rainbow. |

_______________________________ [Jun 23,2011 12:10pm - Lamp ""] So this is the really cool show you were talking about. |

So the band would make $180 IF they sold ALL the tickets, moved and setup all their equipment, and played? Actually, it's worse, $170 by my math. Sad thing is that if this show was at the Webster, a band would only make $50 (I can't imagine the Palladium is much different). I personally think if a single date support band brings in $850 of ticket sales, even for a costly national tour (which Joey Belladona is not exactly), they ought to make AT LEAST half of that back as an incentive for selling the damn tickets in the first place, and that would probably lead to bands selling more in the end anyway. When will places learn that you can't ask bands to bring you a loaf and give them a crumb, and expect good bands to keep taking the shows and work themselves to the bone just to wipe someone else's ass. People might bother more if they weren't getting ripped off. |
______________________________ [Jun 23,2011 1:09pm - Yeti ""] if your band was world-reknowned like CSDO, you'd know. they were around when Dwyer was crawling out of the ocean. |
_______________________________ [Jun 23,2011 1:11pm - CSDO ""] I'm good friends with Belladonna and the bookers. If you cant work for it, then fuck off and try to make your own shows. |

___________________________________ [Jun 23,2011 2:11pm - dyingmuse ""] selling tickets shouldn't be the agenda here, it's the music. If we are asked to Try to sell tickets, that's fine, I am willing to do that. but saying it will be the be all end all factor in playing, fuck that, we would be out. It is NOT the local bands job to sell a touring acts tickets, It's the touring band that is responsible, That is why promotors get paid. A local band is supposed to help by bring their fans, however, people are flakes, and it's just not cool to do that shit. After all the local bands pay for gas, rehearsal space, recording and whatnot, why the fuck should we pay more? Fuck pay to play! Ohh and fuck Belladonna lol |

Maybe copying Nuclear Assault songs and cutting off jeans to make shorts isn't work, but us bands who actually have original material and release albums and provide some sort of entertainment at a show are already working pretty hard. |
