Now that's the jealous attitude I'm talking about.
Oh yeah- playing for free. Yeah - color me green with envy.
Nobody said we had trouble getting gigs, dumbass. We sure didn't, obviously. We played a lot, in every club available. You saw us! The trouble was that the clubs were dumps that just didn't pay local original acts. I believe "shitholes" was a term used.
The way you were crying about how the rock scene was so bad you sound like a a guy that lost his assless chaps and hairspray.
Um--- where was it a said I saw you play? Never. I did meet your singer. You may have been there, but I'm sorry you didn't stand out. Most clubs are shitholes. But if a band isn't getting paid, a moneky playing the spoons can get a gig every night of the week. Doesn' mean he's good, just cheap.
Suddenly now that your agenda has shifted, you no longer stand by the statement that the clubs I played were shitholes? How so very weak-spined of you!
You just make shit up. Yeah- I do- See above. Wrong again!
How about this... Since you want to come off like you know this scene better than I, go ahead and list for me all the clubs that NOW pay local original acts, or paid them back then. Tell me Bill's bar so I can laugh, and that's one of the premier rock clubs left. Tell me the Middle East so I can own you. Go ahead. I'll be over here waiting.
Bands with local followings that are consistant and can fill a room do get paid. Sorry. When you get there you might experience that. Middle East does, Obrien's does. If you are a headliner local band with a following, Bill's does. Jack and Cathy down at Lupo's are fair to good local bands. If you are stupid enough to always play for free, why should they pay you? You are a dope.
Should be easy, right know-it-all.
Yes.
