I don't remotely get the comparison between bands and plumbers.

I've never seen people pay in to watch a plumber work,nor buy drinks in the kitchen he is working in.

(For the record,I have been a plumber and have been and currently am in a band)

(I'm not sticking up for riders either,just think the comparison was daft)

 

[Kermit McDermott]

What height qualifies you as a shortarse?

 

[Cormcolash]

Definitely get rid of guest lists so that @pete doesn't get in free to any more gigs!

 

[Unicron]

I don't go to gigs people I know play to "support" them. I go to listen to music. And I'd never ask people to come to a gig to "support" me. That's some needy bullshit.

On principle I don't do guest lists.

NOT THAT I EVER GET BLEEDIN OFFERED

what constitutes a 'guest list'? Like, I've won tickets to gigs a couple of times and my name was on the guest list as opposed to my getting physical tickets.

I've gotten an actual guestlist once ever. That was when I sent a tweet to someone to ask them whether tickets would be on sale at the door of a Wire gig. The response was that I was on the guestlist with a +1.

I was on the guestlist for the Richter Collective going away gig but I subscribed to that 100 quid thing so doubt that counts.

Then there were 3 gigs I won tickets 2. One here, one on phantom and one from Leagues on twitter.

I don't have any remorse from the competition ones or the Richter one. The Wire one I definitely do and on a point of principle I also never do guest lists.

However if I actually played in a band I think that may be different.

I don't see what the problem with guest list is. I've been on many of them and put peoples names down on many of them when I was playing. It's grand it's handy for when you have people to thank for stuff like if you get a lift to a gig with gear or have to borrow something like an amp or a cymbal or a guitar or a bass because you're in a band with dead beats who won't buy any of their own equipment but some how have money to go to Primavera every fucking year.

what constitutes a 'guest list'?

getting in for free by virtue of "being somebody" (or thinking you are) = bad guest list

 

[Space]

getting in for free by virtue of helping make the gig happen/run better = good guest list

A girl I knew lost her job in a nightclub in Paris because she refused to let Lemmy in for free

I was at tuneyards last night and jesus everyone was fucking hammered. Many, many rules were ignored.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Aren't you supposed to spell it TuNeYarDS or some such shit.
You'll have your NPR Official Hipster accreditation taken off you if you continue to ignore the rules

 

[Lili Marlene]

The hipster crowd have moved on from tuneyards.

but I appreciate the effort there Mormon. People doing shit is fucking lame.

I am amazed that she's so popular, not that I think she's bad (I do) but what she does, I've never thought it had broad appeal.

It wasn't anywhere near sold out. I dunno, her poppiest stuff is pretty poppy and she's known to be good live. I'd love for her to get massive meself but I sure I like liberal arts studying, NPR-listening, HBO watching, trust fund having, east coast privileged guilty white conscience music.

Tuneyards is a person? I thought t was something like Spotify
