Blah blah blah...

You're still avoiding the issue: lots of Metalheads think this fest is shit. Who cares about your arguments about money running the industry? Who needs your commentary about artistic integrity? It's totally tangential to the main point, and doesn't say anything about making the fest better... Your argument on that seems to be that we should suck it up and enjoy all the shitty metalcore because... well you didn't say why, just because. Well, it's not gonna happen, so why are you even bothering to reply to this thread anymore?

My point was simple. The money thing IS an issue. They need to make money, and they do and will. Whether the people bitching here go or not is irrelevant, they're going to sell the place out regardless, tons of people are going to have a great time, and you're going to sit there and be bitter and call it shit. Whoopty-fucking-doo, can't win 'em all.

If you don't like the fest, don't go. Drive somewhere else and see the next closest stop on the tours. The end reality is, Massconcerts asked the people that King Diamond hired to book his tour to play the show and the people he hired said yes. I am sure King Diamond has enough authority to say no. So he's as much to blame as anyone.

The problem is that lots of metalheads only care about themselves. All you can think of is "me me me." Well, someone else made the decision, now you have no choice but to live with it. You can make the drive somewhere else or you can fork over the money and go to this show. At the end of the day, no one really gives a fuck.

It's a lose, lose situation. If they don't book enough metal, people bitch, when they book tours people would want to see, people bitch. Just be happy there are so many people like Scott Lee and Joe that are doing shit like this here on any and every level. Joe and I don't usually see eye to eye, but I respect the hell out of what he does just the same as I do Scott Lee. Without people like them, this New England scene is nothing. Wouldn't you love to be a metalhead living in Iowa? Or Colorado? Or how about Alaska? Alabama maybe? I'm just focusing on the USA alone, if I wanted to I could name places all over the world. Face it, living in New England means you're spoiled fucking rotten when it comes to music. I've seen just about every band I could ever want to see, most of them 5 times over.

It's a fucking show. Either go or don't go.
