That is Reason 1) for what ruined the turn out. Reason 2) I did know some peeps that went to that Air show and The guys that own the jamroom (who put the thing on) were definitely making a big deal about the battle of the band thing, I think they call it Haverhill rocks. It's like the semi for that dumb thing we did last year on TV. Good luck next year on the fest in haverhill, hope it goes well, and hope I know about it next time. Ohh and reason 3) the biggest reason. They definitely need a freaking headliner, that is just common sense, That is the biggest reason it failed by far. The only band that I ever heard on the bill was CSDO, and they are no headliner. |

| ___________________________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 1:32am - CANDY STRIPER DEATH ORGY ""] Hey guys, dyingmuse is right........ The show needed way more promo. Next time I'll get street teams together with the promoter. For a stadium show stuff has to be put up everywhere........ Three to four people can't handle all of the promo for a big event like this. Plus, I think some of the bands could have done a lot more work. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 5:49pm - dyingmuse ""] Yeah, it's a bummer things didn't turn out better, because that is a great idea playing that place, and if it had worked out it could have been good for the scene. Will it happen again next year? When we did our tour last year, it was kinda left to the opening bands to do promo, and the lack of even trying was just horrible in some cases. It really does come down to the local bands doing their leg work. |

Ha ha ha, I have heard him in Anthrax, but seriously, who cares about that jack off, he's a has been and is nothing without Anthrax. Getting Anthrax on the bill, well, I think the thing would have done excellent. Same with Meliah Rage and all these other come back bands, as someone had mentioned before, They may have a small dedicated fan base scattered throughout the world, but let's face it, they really don't draw that well in America. Nothing against the re-forming bands, but unless you were huge before and sadly missed by many people, it's just not enough. |
