palmer_eldritch Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 hahahahaTo be honest, i love the aberdeen music forums. It amuses me to no end seeing people get so ridiculously upset over such shite. I have a blast reading through threads like this.Long live the aberdeen music!

liamtw Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 i dont get upset it just would be a hell of a lot easier on everyone if people just took there heads outta their own asses and actually aided the things that other bands are doing!

identity04 Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Anway, I never once said that this forum was 'the scene.' I just dont appreciate being put down by people who have such little consideration for others in regards to music. I also dont appreciate being told to "run tae fuck." When all we asked for was if anyone had any gig dates free. Its pathetic. I doubt that this site was created in the vision that it was going to be used by people as a medium to brush their own egos. New bands who try and gather what little gigs there are have usually got to kiss the ass off every 'known band there is in 'the scene' before they are accepted. What the fuck is up with that!? Why should this have to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck is up with that!? Why should this have to happen?I don't think that's true at all - it's probably worth your while being civil to people (even if you don't like them); but I don't think you'd have to kiss anyone's ass to get a good gig. Plus most of the bands worth associating with aren't the one's who use this site to stroke their egos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't many bands on Aberdeen who are 'professional' hence why its the same bands getting the bigger gigs, work towards becoming one of them and you'll do well. Most bands if you ask them will help you with advice, or anything, but there are a lot of people on here who think its funny to make sarky comments all the time, anyone who's actually checking out this site for Aberdeen bands just sees the smartarse comments and realises that there are certain bands who can't cut it professionally just because of their attitude. This site could be better but face toface the scene actually gets on for the whole not too badly. CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stax Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Not Bitching Or Being PedanticBut if you are going to use a music forum to promote your band then I would suggest that you 'do' consider your English usage! Bad grammar and spelling do not instill confidence. And that was me under Dr Drakes by the way. Twas a valid point.J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
