BigRoninBHC...it's great that FSU has benifit shows and all, and I can't say I know any of the members. But my friend of 110 pounds who does not start fights got beat by several members for no aparent reason. They stole hundreds of dollars worth of stuff. They caused most of the Lowell Police night crew to arrive on the scene. They threatened the promoter when he did nothing to provoke and was doing all he could to make the show good for everyone. They might have well closed another club's doors to metal. What does that really say about their orginization? I could go on and on...but when you look at the FACTS of saturday night, FSU really took the heavy genere and took a nasty shit on it. I can't see any angle where FSU did good or right on saturday, if you can please tell me. I am obviously biased as are you, but the facts really stand hard.

And the one thing that was really tough for me to swallow was the free tickets thing. I mean, no one from FSU called ahead and asked for a group rate or anything. They came to the show in quantity and demanded tickets for free using intimidation tactics, not for what they have done for metal in the past. Concerts cost money to put on...i mean, friends have given me their money willingly to help ensure a show is a success so we can do it again. I've read about things like this in books, and It isn't about giving trailblazers their due. More like organized crime.

For everyone's information, I am writing an open letter to the Lowell Police department (the chief is a close family friend), the Mass State Police and US congressman Marty Meehan (who I worked for and is also a friend) about this incident, using accounts from witnesses and club staff. I'll be doing a lot of reasearch and presenting on this over the next few weeks so I get everything right. If FSU is indeed an orginzation that does good for the community, they should have nothing to worry about.

I have never experieced anything FSU has had to do with until this show, and I hope I never deal with them again unless it is to work on making sure things like this don't happen in the future. FSU just might have ruined any metal happening at Club Fuel again, what does that say for what they do for our ever controversial genere?
