Hog Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 The "worst band" section is usually won by a band who are not the worst band in Aberdeen. If it was the case, Spike would win every year hands down we are just a noise but a good fun noisy noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Mac Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Now kiddies.Can we stop the petty arguing and learn to take things with a pinch of salt or else we'll have to lock this and start banning people.I'm not going to lie to you, it could get messy!*picks up all the toys and puts them into their respective prams* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 i cant think of any aberdeen act in the last few years who have played to an audience that big in a show of that staturethe needles supported muse at the secc.isn't it funny how the bands that work hardest over the years get the rewards and people hate them just cause they work hard at putting their name out like psycho ago go and my minds weapon. hard working bands who have acheived a helluva lot through it. so what if weapon paid for an advert in kerrang? you don't get adverts for free do you? and it's hardly going to be bad for them getting on a bill of internationally renowned bands in the same style of music as them. not everyband is prepared to put the work in and hell most people just don't have the time or money to spare and sometimes it's just a conscious decision to take things a bit easier. i'm sure if every band in aberdeen worked as hard as the likes of my minds weapon then we'd be seeing a lot more aberdeen bands out on big tours and getting snapped up by record companies. ascension should maybe turn the other cheek and just get their heads down and prove the detractors wrong.

The Milner Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 the needles supported muse at the secc.fair enough i never knew that' date=' fucking good on them! Im sure Driveblind have done big gigs as well i was just kinda generalising.isn't it funny how the bands that work hardest over the years get the rewards and people hate them just cause they work hard at putting their name out like psycho ago go and my minds weapon. hard working bands who have acheived a helluva lot through it. so what if weapon paid for an advert in kerrang? you don't get adverts for free do you? and it's hardly going to be bad for them getting on a bill of internationally renowned bands in the same style of music as them. not everyband is prepared to put the work in and hell most people just don't have the time or money to spare and sometimes it's just a conscious decision to take things a bit easier. i'm sure if every band in aberdeen worked as hard as the likes of my minds weapon then we'd be seeing a lot more aberdeen bands out on big tours and getting snapped up by record companies. ascension should maybe turn the other cheek and just get their heads down and prove the detractors wrong.so very very true.But then what changes it has/is and will always be like this, some people just dont get it.I tell you what the day assencion play to more that 50 of their own fans is the day Live 8 finally makes a difference................................

Camie Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 the needles supported muse at the secc.When was that?I was thinking about other Aberdeen bands who have gotten a similar break and the best I could think of was Alyssa's Wish and Stacatto Set playing Tin the Park.

framheim Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 there's a few aberdeen bands have played the t-break tent at t in the park. nero spring to mind.can't remember when it was that the needles supported muse, i'm sure dave will confirm it.

Spoonie Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I'm kinda disappointed that in the heat of the argument, people overlookd this gem of a quote:Maybe we should glue on some emo fringes. apart from that, very well done to the weapon boys for getting what is undoubtedly a great gig. it's been grasped through a combination of the own hard work and through putting a lot of thought into the business side of the band. they've made a lot of great contacts which is always a good start but what has always impressed me is the way that they follow up on these. They don't sit and wait for something to happen for them, they go out and make it happen themselves. Not everything they try works and not everyone likes them but that's to be expected.as for the advert, if FeSTR ever had anything going on and I had the money for it, i'd have done exactly that and more. It seems like common sense to me. /x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I heard Ascension and Spike Pile Driver were playing?Comments like that don't do yourself or your rinky-dink pop outfit any favours, son. I wouldn't touch a gig like this with a fucking barge-pole, on principle. Playing to a bunch of angsty, middle-class brats doesn't really appeal. I can't speak for the Ascension guys, but a tenner says they would find the prospect equally nauseous.We would rather go the DIY route. That means doing it yourselves, not using your money to try and sneak up the ladder and whore yourselves out to some record label. Sorry to burst your little bubble, but you're still waiting for a record deal. You'll be waiting a very long time, believe me. There's not a smdgen of jealousy involved here, merely a half-smile at the mental picture of your musical career being spent on your knees in anticipation of the occasional glancing lick of the corporate cock. DIY all the fucking way, winning the moral high ground by a mile.I'll have to stop here, I'm busy organising trades and getting our stuff out around the globe, doing things entirely off my own back, without resorting to the chequebook. We don't believe in shortcuts. Enjoy your little gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Closed.Some people really need to get off their high horses regarding My Minds Weapon. You are like a bunch of 5 year olds. And yes, Jamesy makes digs too, but it's all about a bit of give and take eh boys?Yes, you don't like them. Yes, you hate their music. Yes, you are hardcore and diy and love the crust punk (or whatever other subliminal sub genre tickles your balls).So what if they want to push their band and become popular?... better than scraping the barrel in aberdeen, but if that's what you want to do with your band then awesome. Not everyone is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
