I’ve said this before but I know Vince and have talked to Dana about it. The gist of it is, the only thing he knows is showing up and doing shows and being in the road (half-assed at best but does what he has to contractually) He still has his demons with alcohol but he can’t sit at home, that’s whe...

Paging Eddie trunk

I regret selling a lot of them but I had thousands at one point. When I was working at Columbia records, I took home entire ROOMS full of demos//alternative mixes/you name it that were going into the dumpster in 2008 when everyone was laid off. I’d probably be a millionaire if I kept all of them. So...

Why does chip still show up to lucky strike and wherever else with his wig and Halloween store glasses….who things this is cool? I figure this is the audience to ask. I did see Donnie acoustic and he was great, Vegas.

Bunch of early misfits stuff

I’m in Memphis very often for work, was in south Memphis last week. Don’t let the poster above scare you, unless you have have beef or an issue with someone (which I’m sure you don’t) you will be fine. It’s just like any other city. I don’t think you are going to be hanging around a gas station on a...

Some people like myself like to be gone 10 months out of the year and it’s what we’ve been doing since teenagers. In all honestly, if it’s about money this isn’t the right business unless you’re the 5% who have the luxury of finding a balance.

“Had a bunch of off days when the headliner was flying to do radio shows and stuff so we had the agent book club shows around every off day. I don’t think we had a single day off without a show because that’s when the problems happen.” What sort of things happen on an off day during a tightly sched...

Every band is different. I was just out for 3 months with a band playing a mix of sheds/arenas/theaters. We got a flat $500 a night, just the two bands on the tour and the one I was working for is well known, direct support. The headliner didn’t use monitors but were gracious enough to carry and pay...

I grew up a block away from Lou reed as a kid in NJ. My dad did coin-op and lou was into pinball machines, jukeboxes, etc and we would go over and service them for him and bring over machines he was into. I’m only 36 so I don’t know what he was like back in the day but he was a really quiet, kind no...

This will probably go to trial and it will be very interesting. sad situation. I predict second degree manslaughter or him getting off. The poor woman is the one that loses in this and I bet this guy didn’t want to murder someone that day.

Same room and the stage is in the same spot but some things have been moved around. Upstairs they put a wall between the offices facing down on sunset

Never heard of this before!

OJ “in the slammer” slammer pog was my favorite when I was 8

Ceo will eventually come and complain when a “thug” assaults one of his children somewhere but can’t comprehend that even if you’re working on an adult set or at a bar at 1am,it still isn’t acceptable or normal behavior to grab people and whatever else.

Tossed mine but I wonder if this is the TM, location is Florida

Can count on 15 hands the creepy shit I’ve seen him do at conventions, at the rainbow, on sets etc
Did some people embrace it, sure. But other times he straight up harassed people.

Skid row is another name out of four on a flyer for a cruise, bumfuck casino, potato festival or pool hall. Bach wants his own bus for him and his wife and probably 50% of the guarantee. Skid row will find someone else and keep it rolling, respectably.

It sucks when you’re trying to watch a show and someone has a phone up in front of you but it’s 2004…everyone does this, regardless of the genre. Phil is a wig wearing drama queen and he should be grateful someone wants to share his band to social media or YouTube. If he broke my iPhone I’d go up an...

Vince at double d’s in Morristown NJ. My dad was doing sound, I think Eddie trunk was the announcer. 95.9 the rat and wdha promoted it. I just remember going to Bradlees because they had a food court and arcade and we had to buy towels or something. I was 11. Maybe 150 people? It was sorta full but ...

Just got tickets for this on KLOS an hour ago, not that I’d go. If I can transfer them I’ll give them to someone here. They have been pushing it all afternoon

Huge missed opportunity not doing meet & greets. When I was out with the B-52’s Fred would do a little get together after the shows, It was limited to 15 people and he pocketed an extra 5k every night. It doesn’t have to be huge ordeal at 3pm or whatever when you want to eat or chill in the hote...

Pearcy to 5 people in Newport ri I'm not far from Newport. What was the venue? I’m wrong. It was Wheel House Tavern, Narragansett, RI, USA on December 11, 2008. It was snowing really bad and I remember turning off 95 to get over there from providence on that two lane road and it was almost impossib...

I’ve been booking shows for 20 years and there a ton of different variables. Obviously an independent club is different compared to live nation filling up a calander of summer shows. In the club setting where I work, I have purchased many packages that have lost money or barely break even to have “h...

Love the sequencing of the songs. Not sure how much input the band had on that but the songs just flows right.

I miss the living room and babyhead. I lived on Atwells and would walk over all the time.
My chemical romance played my parents basement twice in NJ, I think they’ve sold over 10million records at this point. Brand new and fall out boy as well.

As a guitar tech, so many times I’ve heard “great show, can you sign this” probably because I look like a band member. I usually try and just give them something in my pocket or a set list …I’m not signing a record or a shirt. Sometimes they offer other things.
