ATTN: MT Chris / Samantha / Aliens[views:4879][posts:69]____________________________________________________ [Dec 29,2011 3:25pm - RustyPS should be working ""] metal heads like to drink? WHO SAYS?!?!?!? |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 29,2011 3:26pm - Alexecutioner ""] ITT: things that would be relevent if i owned a car. until then, i will go to shows based on whether or not i have a ride home or a place to crash and i usually leave whenever they do anyway haha |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 29,2011 3:28pm - josh_hates_you ""] Making the shows earlier would take away from pregame time. I usually don't get drunk enough on thursdays as is. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 29,2011 3:29pm - Alexecutioner ""] from personal band experience though, Evan and I usually hustle like crazy to get out of work, load gear, and leave Boston whenever we play Ralphs. usually arriving just as the first band is going on. it sucks showing up late for a show that you're playing but its hard with traffic and work schedules at times. i enjoy the fact that MT's start at 930 instead of 9pm which seems to be the norm at most venues. i've never once gotten to a show and wished it started earlier, im usually too busy trying to get my shit done in time to make it to the venue before missing the first band, which happens often. |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 29,2011 3:33pm - MetalThursday ""] LOL rusty Andrew's opinion is indeed completely understandable and it's neither the first nor last time I'll hear it from someone. If Worcester actually had more than a very small amount of good metal bands based here, then out-out-town bands would never be expected to headline. Maybe someday. But in the meantime someone's gotta do it. Start more bands, fellow Worcesterites. |

How about when you're really busy at work or rushing to get ready and leave for the show, and someone texts you, "Who is playing tonight?" Apparently, I'm a huge bitch because I usually reply with something like, "sorry.Bvusy check InterneT". |

Also the obligatory text from LateWren: "Don't let <insert name of opening band here> start without me!!! I'm almost there!!!" |
| _______________________________ [Dec 29,2011 5:04pm - sigh ""] Alexecutioner said:haha i dont think there are a lot of people anymore that remember most venues 5+ years ago would barely let people book metal shows on a sunday mantinee, let alone a friday night. glad to see most venues are more accepting but there are still some places that treat it as a waste of time (who knew metal heads like to drink? $$$) This is partially due to the stereotype that metal heads are seen as unemployed/financially poor and lack the funds needed to keep buying drinks (partially true?). So venues choose to have bands play that they think will attract a larger crowd with a fatter bankroll. |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 29,2011 6:13pm - boblovesmusic ""] the putting a gun to someone's head part is true, but no one ever forces Dan to do anything! |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 29,2011 6:19pm - bitch_please ""] And why the hell are we complaining about something successful in the scene again? Just sayin'. Don't go if you don't want to, who the fuck is simultaneously twisting your arm and knickers about it? Good grief. |
