This. If a band plays a long set, it's really a different situation. Also, bars that book one or two bands to play a night and give guarantees are completely different than a club booking four or more metal bands; those kind of pay-guarantee bar shows have been around for decades, but you have to be able to play long and please a diverse crowd, often throwing in a couple of covers here and there sometimes - and while I wouldn't put it as a rock vs. metal split as you did - I think it's more accurate to say that it's not as much of an option for a band that only has very heavy originals in their set and nothing else, or a band that hasn't had the time to put together more than a an hour or two set. Yeti said [orig][quote] I’ll use Metal Thursday simply as an example here, but say you have your name out there and have contacted Chris to play, then he offers you a slot, it’s a decent drive from where you live, then to ask for a guarantee would be absurd. I also agree with this, it would make no sense for a non-touring band to ask for a guarantee on a MT instead of a cut of the door. As Samantha put it, one has to do the math. If the cover's $6 and the soundguy has to get paid first, big guarantees are fantasy land. (FWIW, we are not asking for any guarantee for this MT we are playing nor have we ever in the past, it's more than fair the percentages they use to split up the door given it's a local weeknight show.)
