I havent been keeping up with much of the Blackmetallady/Pam/95% of rttpers, but I just read this, and I have this to add:

1. There is no way in fuck, that BML has listened to even 50% of rttp bands.
So, when you say things like shitty rttp bands, etc, it will probably rub some of us (in bands) the wrong way.

2. Hobby Rocker, as Accursed Drummer said, is very insulting. If I added up all the sacrifices, that my band and I, family and close friends, have made, it would add up to YEARS and THOUSANDS of dollars.

What hobby in the world could amount to that?
And, thats just one aspect of it.

3. pay to play sucks.
Im not saying this against Marks, because weve had good relations with Bernie, and enjoy playing there.
Yes, there is an oppurtunity to make a little cash if you sell every ticket, but lets be realistic, if you DONT sell every ticket, you pay out of your own pocket.
That SUCKS.
Loading, unloading, gas, beer and a 30 minute set of the most draining, exhausting music on the planet (death metal in general), and now I have to pay the fucking club??!!
Only a fool could dispute this.

4. NH dosent suck.

5. Booking bands you believe in can lead to cliques and/or repetitive lineups. Mix it up, take (reasonable) chances, and give an out of state band a show once in a while.

Im done for now.
