I went to work for one hour, left early sick, fell asleep, and missed the entire hockey game. I slept from 6:30 yesterday till about 10 minutes ago (its 2:25 pm sunday)
At least I feel better now, i gotta head down there with the guitar tonite
Laugh if you want to, really is kinda funny, 'cause the world is a car and you're the crash test dummy.
Yeah John,
Most bars are down now due to the Man ,D.U.I.
Money,etc...
As far as cool -Hot young kids.They have a tendency to know where they are gonna go,Move to a place till it's not cool(too Many Fights),Lame bands,What-ever,and off to the next hot spot.
If you think it's cool ,You're kids will probably hate it .Rock and roll was meant to be rebellious ,and you just keep getting more extreme.
Now to be cool you gotta slap a few Ho's have some Bling,risk your life with some sport,or drug.Of course I remember when Long haired Bikers with Stripper girlfriends were cool.
P,S. Captain Grammer please correct any spelling,puntuation errors as I can't see Thanks!
P.S. just my opinion,I could be Wrong!!!!

I like the thrill of the chase (but not too much chase), and some girl with cigarettes and booze and vomit on her breath just hasn't appealed to me since I got past my early 20s. Not downing anyone who's into that. That's totally cool if ya are, it's just not me. Now if I took her to the bar or I knew her from somewhere else...differentstory.
Maybe I'm too conservative...or possibly gay? I thought liking dicks made you gay (if you're a guy, of course). I don't like dicks...well, I LOVE mine, but I only have one so it's just A dick (not dickS with an s on the end). Apparently Mr. Faust has presented us with a new definition of what it means to be gay. He has me thinking...Football players called me gay a lot in high school. Maybe the football team looked up "gay" in the dictionary and it said "People who go to bars for any reason other than to hook up." They must have known I wasn't into that! It all makes sense now!
...Crossfire, on a more serious note, I think Panzerfaust was just making a joke as evidenced by the or . Whichever one he used.
This is the best post in this thread. Period.
As far as the idea that it doesn't matter what band you book...book a shitty band and see how quickly people leave.

yeah JD is the man. awesome posts from him always.
as far as a shitty band and people leaving...thats not always the case. ive seen people love a shitty band. alcohol helps a band sound better to people's ears. sadly.

most of the time when im at the bar, im just gonna be sitting there by myself listening to the music. and watchin the band play and take in everything i can learn by just watching. ehh maybe im a dork lol i dont care.
i frequent one bar ... the trackside, mainly cause of the jamnights and music there.
SAme here. I only go to watch and listen to live music. Also when i'm looking for a band to run sound for. Which I will be soon. I do sound for the kid shows (emo shit) in the basement of the terrace. Running sound for 6 bands a night sucks and doesnot pay enough....
This is something that I will be covering in the Major Miner Documentary.
We are definitely the minority. If most people went out because of the bands, they wouldn't mind paying a few more bucks at the door, they'd buy all of your merch, and you'd really be able to ditch that day job.
As Chad said, unfortunately it's only a handful. I want to find a percentage. Right now I'm gonna guess about 10% of show goers (at a bar) go to see the band primarily.
If anyone doubts this, go book a show at the Lions Den and see how many of your Bar peeps show up.
What's great though? When Fedup plays an all-ages show, you can bet your ass there's always a decent group of Rockpagers there!

No, you are wrong.
