blow your brains out LOL!

Yeah, that would give me some drainage, but I don't think the side effects are worth the benefits.

zky, post your retarded song in the entries thread, not here.

[QUOTE=yay4beingbanned]i dont mean keep coming back here, but you must not relize that my IP has been blocked from posting threads, and unless theres a luepole that i dont know about, i believe it was you who made that so.[/QUOTE]
Dude, shut up.

Your IP wasn't blocked. You can't post threads within the first 24 hours of being banned. No one can. Just wait a day.

Jesus.

[QUOTE=yay4beingbanned]o thanks. i didnt know that, now you can delete these posts. For some reason i never got over twenty four hours with an account...your a good man subtle, thanks for the newbie info.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I'm not going to delete your posts, just chill.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]It was gaslight, bob.[/QUOTE]

YEA.....and I forgot to mention their G'day's and no worries although I can forgive them those great big cans of Fosters

Im not going to enter a song. I'll lose anyways. So I know that all of you will miss me dearly. :lol:

So does any one know?

Saw Dredg last night...pretty good show. I guess about 300 people there at $10 a head. Total gate I'm thinking around $3000. What's the breakdown on this, roughly? Promoter/venue's gotta take a big chunck. There were 2 opening acts. They played 30 min each. These guys gotta eat, pay motel, buy gas to drive to the next gig.

I'm thinking $3000 doesnt split too many ways.

Was it at a bar? if so the venue would be paying them, right? Also, dredg might be doing some gigs to promote their new album so might not worry about profit.. The opening 2 acts arent gonna get squat and really should do it for free as Dredg is providing them with free publicity.

Wow, that's unbelievably stupid.

Most bands don't even make enough to tour. Saying that opening bands don't deserve to make any money becuase they get publicity is complete nonsense.

Yea. They have to get paid. I was wondering what the breakdown might be. It wasnt a bar. One of them old movie theaters from 50's that have live music now. About 500 seats. I saw Al Dimeola there couple weeks ago. About 500 people at $35/ea. So thats $18,000.00. for just one band.

Not really. The venue makes a good amount of that.

Yea...that's what I was wondering. What's the split. The venue had 4 concession ppl, 2 security, couple guys at the door, not sure how many back stage. 10 people at min/wage for 6 hours...thats about $500 alone. Then there was ads in the paper for 4 weeks. I guess ticketmaster is covered in the service charge. Seems to me a $10 a head show might buy the band a nice meal and not much more.

The cardinal rule is usually this:

Bands who can draw in big crowds make more than enough. Bands with decent fan bases make enough to live off of. Bands that are more underground barely make enough for gas and food.

Explains where your "sellouts" come from doesnt it. They're starving.

Greetings, World. I'm new at this whole posting idea, so if I do anything wrong, I'd appreciate being told... I read the rules and everything, but I'm still convinced I must have done something wrong...

And by the way, SubtleDaggers, I've read alot of your work, it's awesome... How long have you been writing lyrics for?

Well the first thing you did wrong is...no sucking up ;)

[QUOTE=JaveryAM]And by the way, SubtleDaggers, I've read alot of your work, it's awesome... How long have you been writing lyrics for?[/QUOTE]
I have no idea how to answer this.

Oh, I'm not sucking up, BBB, I'm just saying it. I read his essence entry and I enjoyed it. I also saw his entry for mordant or whatever it might have been. But How long have you been writing SD?
Years? Months? etc etc...

I hope that makes it easier... If not, I dont know. I've only been writing for half a year..
I still have a lot of work to do..

Don't double post.

I've been writing here for like a year and a half.

Happy birthday, Dfelon.

Happy birthday to you, Dfelon!
* Hands you a blood covered rose... A blood covered rose of doom.*

Tragic, really.

I just started a new job and moved to a new apartment, so I didn't have time to enter. But I may decide to do some snarky crits...

[QUOTE=Bigbadbob]Good God....who let the n00bs out for this challenge. SD look what they've done to your topic word!!![/QUOTE]
Ah well. We still got some good songs out of it.

Your crits are some of the best I've seen on the site by the way.
