You fucks... It's not pay to play... Well, I guess for you it would be. We don't pay for our tickets. We sell them!! Work to play!! You don't get the concept?

The "concept" is fucking gay!! The reality is that you must sell however many tickets if you want your band to play the show. You then hand over that money to the promoter or club, in exchange for your right to play the show. Call it whatever you want, you are still paying to play. And how's it any different if you "work to play"??? Most local bands work their asses off preparing for shows, getting their equipment playable & transported to the shows, setting up & breaking down their equipment. And obviously most bands work their asses off on stage, performing their shows. These bands do all this work for one reason... Cause they love doing it!! It certainly isn't for any money they may or may not be payed at the end of the show. And in most cases, local bands spend way more money to play a show than they are payed for a show, whether it's on gas, tolls, guitar strings, drum heads, sticks, etc. Most local bands have already payed to play a show before they even get to the club!! They usually have promoted the fuck out of the show as well. And most probably don't expect to be payed after shows, they shouldn't be expected to sell however many tickets either!! The reality is that you're on this show cause you agreed to sell tickets. But there's probably 100 other bands in New England right now who would be a much better & more deserving act on this show, but they refuse to buy their way onto the show!! They refuse to disrespect their bands names by paying to play shows. So don't get all bent outta shape because people don't agree with the "concept" that you clearly have no problem bending over for.
