jester1470 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Ok were are not talking the 90s we are talking 2000s nobody wants to come here because of this from of attitude.But we could be talking about the reason why the bands aren't getting anyone coming to see them is because no-one has heard of them Why would people go and see a band they've never heard of ?As you've commented there are a lot of crap bands out there, there's no reason why anyone should go and see them.

gabriel_deceiver Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Deep Purple and OverKill are similar in many ways, so similar that Over Kill COVERED a Deep Purple song on their Coverkill album, Slayer and Motley Crue have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more in common than you thinkg too, as the first Slayer album "Show No Mercy" was quite glammy and influenced in look and sound by Motley Crue's "Shout At The Devil" !!

People will support up and coming bands here but they have to be something that they know enough about to like. If a band wants to come up here and play to a sold out crowd then they're being incredibly naieve, you go away and play to 10 people before you can expect to come back to 200 especially if you're not known. Getting on a bill like Bloodstock (which to be honest I've never heard of) does not mean that a band has a right to play to well attended gigs. If the band come up here and play to 10-20 people and they're good then those people will bring their friends. Unless you're a good, established band then you won't come up here to big crowds. You have to walk before you can run...CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriel_deceiver Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 all my top 10 bands have MAJOR links to each other, I can name them all if you want me to, and I know StormHeart will agree, Deftones have NO links to any of them whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormhart Posted December 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 It seems that Aberdeen is the last to hear of these bands and Bloodstock.And you want bands to turn up.I want to be peacemaker but there is an error in your thinking.This is not just about metal its about the music scene fullstop.

Stormhart Posted December 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 If you want to attract bigger bands and promotors you must be able to show that you can turn up to smaller ones.By the way Vince is one of the biggest promotors in the Uk who runs Bloodstock and added to that he could help local bands.He has a lot of interest in not so well known bands.Final say for the night:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the points i make are also about the scene in general, if people haven't heard of them then people won't come and see them, and maybe next time if they're good the few that do make it out will bring more. I know several acts who have played to 1000 people in one place and then played to 20 in another, thats the way it goes, if they're good then more poeple will come next time, but first gigs for unknown bands are always poorly attended.

I think to connect the scene of somewhere like drakes and the scene of somewhere like Moshulu is naieve. It is a different scene.
