[QUOTE="eyehatehippies:1223504"]Definitely depends on the show. I was always taught there are three good reasons to take a show: 1) For exposure 2) To play with a band that you really want to play with 3) For the money I weigh those three things over, and ask for guarantees accordingly. There are other reasons I take shows or ask for money as well, but those three things are generally the most important. And I always ask for a guarantee on local shows, but usually I'll take a door deal. A guarantee is just what I consider an "opening offer", I'll make my case of why we would need money to play the show, and the promoter is free to make his case as to why he does or does not want to pay us, and to make a counter offer. I then have the choice and freedom to either accept the counter offer, or to further haggle/barter/negotiate on the terms of the show. Either party has the choice and the freedom to decline or withdraw the offer at any time, up until an agreement is reached. Don't want to pay a band that asks for a guarantee for a local show? That's very simple, don't book them. If a band doesn't want to play shows where they are not given a guarantee by the promoters? That's very simple, decline to play shows unless you are paid. To me, it's personal choice, I'm not going judge a band based on how they choose to run things from a business standpoint. Everyone has their reasons, and their justifications. It's like Huck Finn always said, "You pays your money, and you takes your choice."[/QUOTE]
