[15:38] its not a big deal
[15:38] but u did not learn a thing from me if this is how u feel
[15:38] MillenialKingdom: you should put yourself in some of these bands shoes and think about how you would feel if someone like you was constantly ripping on local bands

[15:42] MillenialKingdom: stop getting pissy with me and just have a conversation about this
[15:42] MillenialKingdom: im not saying i dont support you
[15:42] MillenialKingdom: if i didnt, i wouldnt keep coming to Rockos

I tell you what, if putting broken side banners all over RTTP gave me $1500 in one night? I would do it until my mortgage was paid off.

Is this suppose to be surprising? Exactly what I would expect to come out of this guys mouth.
If you get into local music promotion to support your family. You're an idiot and on top of that he doesn't even seem to enjoy what he does. If he this was 2001 he'd be booking nu-metal bands.

Anybody with half a brain should realize you can make way more money with a day job than as a promoter.

Apparently, I'm guilty of slander now.
Is it really slander if the person incriminated themselves? I didn't make any of it up.
[Mar 28,2009 9:58pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""]
Go here and read the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation
or tl:dr version because I went to school for this and don't feel like explaining how this shit breaks down.
Most people who throw a fit and claim they're suing you for slander or libel or whatever are just whiny faggots butthurt over losing an argument. Tell him to call a lawyer because any firm he calls will laugh and hang up on him.
When it comes to defamation truth is an absolute defense, so Ally McThirsty threatening you with legal action via AIM over slander (which, by the way, wouldn't be the correct tort as this message board is a fixed, rather than transitory, media. Score another point for Ally McThirsty there) is wasting their time bitching because they don't have a legal leg to stand on. It also shows that his knowledge of defamation law is as "extensive" as his knowledge of promotion.
[Mar 28,2009 10:03pm - MillenialKingdom ""]
He said since it was a private conversation, I was supposed to have asked his permission to post the convo. He claims to have a lawyer.
I only posted what he said to make a point about the shitty state of the music industry. His attitude about money and bands is shit.
[Mar 28,2009 10:04pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""]
He's lying

In law, defamation (also called calumny, libel, slander, and vilification) is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image. It is often, but not always,[1] a requirement that this claim be false, and, or alternatively, that the publication is made to someone other than the person defamed.

whether or not I believe that you should have posted this, only one side of a convo needs to agree to share a conversation. and once it's out there, it can be used by media sources.
[Mar 29,2009 12:02am - DestroyYouAlot ""]
What's this bullshit about not booking bands that play D&D? LOL
[Mar 29,2009 12:21am - xanonymousx ""]
dude who cares who he books, hes music business person, he knows what is hot right now, personally i hate that brokencyde group, but whatever man a lot of the kids like it.
if i was putting on shows for a living, i'd book a show that would make a lot of kids come and sell the place out, thats what it all comes down too. brokencyde will sell out. if paying to play for brokencyde would get your band a lot of exposure, wouldn't you like it? at least a little bit.
but whatever, if metallica was pay to play at rockos you would be running to play that shit...
idk whatever.

tell him to go fuck himself. I'm sure with the $3.50 he has leftover after the bills are paid goes right towards suing you for him being an asshole.

Well sure but his attitude about LOCAL music and everything else still sucks. He would fit in great with Mark's Showplace.
[Mar 29,2009 12:48am - MarkFuckingRichards ""]
I'm not an expert and am not stating this as fact or anything, but I'm pretty sure he'd only have a case if the conversation in question was audio recorded. I also don't feel like looking that shit up because I don't give enough shits about it, to be honest.
Keep in mind that you have 24 hours to edit your original post, so if you feel you're better safe than sorry, you can just take that shit right out of the original post and baddabing baddaboom, case closed.
Also, people who want to make a living off of music should NOT, I repeat SHOULD NOT, rely on underground music regardless of genre. That's just fucking common sense, plain and simple.

Brandon is an immature little brat that still beleives that Marks Showplace is open. He posted our conversation not because he wants to tell people im a horrible person but because he NEEDS attention.
Everyone that has something to say against me FUCK YOURSELF i dont give two shits.
Yes i loose money on local bands and yes i will tell you if your band sucks ( The cadaveric manifesto ) that does not make me someone who does not support local music, In two years ive put on countless local shows and supported many local bands. However i book tours, and thats where i make 90% of the money to keep going.
I do this for a job and everyone who says something about it is just pissed cuz their shift starts at 3pm today at McDonalds.
Brandon you have been to 2 shows in the last year and u still think Marks does shows... U really think u support local music?
BobNOMAAMRooney hit me up aim, I will tell you the same thing . FUCK YOU HATER!!! and u can go post it up on RTTP sound good? But finish up your D and D game first...
