The people who do this must be tragically lonely and lead a completely unfulfilled life.

If you want to make it in the music business in this day & age, and best of luck to you in that, you’re going to have get used to people making comments and no sell the negative ones. You can’t take every bit of negative criticism/banter/joke or whatever to heart. If you think that was some kind of personal attack then you’re in for a bit of a shock Edited September 12, 2021 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 12, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2021 ive always seen James Hetfield as being a solid live vocalist. Any videos of him being the shits? Anyway as for gigs, im off to see Biffy Clyro on Thursday which should be good. Hopefully the weather is kind as its outdoor. Saw The Wildhearts a couple of weeks back too and they were predictably superb. I do fear for Ginger's mental well being though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Is it still classed as doing well in your career when you're the one booking the shows and you put yourself on the bill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man it's absolutely classed as doing well because while you're absolutely correct I did put on the show In question however I had absolutely 0 say on any of the opening acts whatsoever. The choice and opportunity was asked of me by both strange bones and calva louise as it was their hometown album release show and they wanted a full hometown bill and they offered me the spot. I didn't at all book myself on it. So yes it was even more of a huge achievement for me to not only put on such a successful show with 2 really big up and coming bands one of which headlined the BBC introducing stage at reading and leeds the week after and both bands are playing a festival In the Czech Republic next year with fall out boy and Weezer. So all in all I'm incredibly proud of it dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 So the sold out crowd weren’t there to see you? Still, should be good exposure for you!  Out of interest, what do you use to record the backing track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Red Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Kinda sounds like the shitearses who would get themselves bookings because they had a wrestling ring for companies to hire out, they were always the ones who were most defensive about being called shitearses too….

patiirc Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Moving away from the gig self promotion, Saliva, yes that one, are touring in Feb next year. Minus Josey Scott, and probably everyone else too, it is another chance to see a nu metal band in a pub, yay! Awfully tempting after seeing Crazy Town a few years ago and the mess that was Alien Ant Farm's gig in Preston too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone do this at a show they have paid money to be at? Even if it was just beer it was uncalled for and unnecessary. As if hed pe were the main support for it too they always seem to be over here in the uk. I think they did like 4 tours in the space of 16 months a few years ago. I've been offered a date on 2 of their previous tours but they don't seem worth the gamble for a band that are always playing over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
