Fabio/AS MEMORY DIES

User Axeman told me yesterday about his plans to visit MC, so i think it is best way for you to send him personal message.

Gdje nas Fabio nadje...
A ovaj Metal Camp u stopu prati Gods of Metal i polako ali sigurno propada u ponor pohlepe i kapitalizma: svake godine sve skuplje karte, cuga & hrana bolje ne pitati, bendovi iz svih metal zanrova, da privuku sto vise publike. Ovo nekako i prolazi, jebi ga, takva su vremena dosla. Ali sto je najgore, manje poznati bendovi moraju platiti ili prodati pozamasan broj karata da bi svirali. Zalosno, nema tu vise nimalo one ljubavi prema muzici, koja bi trebala biti srce i dusa svakog rock okupljanja.

Thanks a lot for you advice, I'm gonna contact him immediately...


Sorry but I don't understand your language, I speak only English and Italian...

Non c’è alcun problema, posso scriverlo anche in italiano...
All’inizio mi chiedevo come hai fatto a trovare questo forum.
Poi ho solo messo in evidenza che pure il Metal Camp è sulla scia del Gods of Metal, ovverosia ormai imprigionato nelle fauci del capitalismo e della massima ‘profitto prima di tutto’... I costi dei biglietti ogni anno più elevati, i prezzi del cibo e delle bevande esorbitanti, suonano gruppi appartenenti a generi opposti tra loro, per attirare più pubblico possibile. E tutto ciò può andar bene, perché i tempi sono quelli che sono. Tuttavia, considero inaccettabile che le band meno rinomate debbano pagare per suonare o debbano vendere un tot di biglietti. Vengono a mancare lo spirito e l’anima del rock, che dovrebbero essere i primi moventi di tutti i concerti metal.

Ecco, ho fatto una traduzione sommaria. Funziona bene ‘sto google traduttore?

In bocca al lupo per il concerto, comunque.

It works really good but I will write in English as a form of respect for all the other forum users.

Well, on one hand it's true that forcing emerging bands to sell your tickets is not the fairest thing festival organizers can do, but on the other one it true that they are giving you a very good chance and that playing on the 2nd Stage will bring you some bigger exposure for sure -and this can't come for free unfortunately...

Anyway, maybe it can be a sign of capitalism and maximum profit, but on emerging bands' side it is a good step beyond -I'm pretty sure organizers don't do that for newcomers' sake but it's something useful for us as well, so...

Joj Hapa sto te izofira lik

English, please. (prosuo me lik k’o flasu vode)
Dakle: kendzo, mandzo, boni, keribo, kefju, dzu, boni.



Fuck the other users, they don’t deserve respect.

Now seriously: actually I was not using Google translator and I strongly doubt that Axeman will go to Tolmin. Bosnians just like to joke, as Italians do.

However, if you consider that trying to sell tickets on Italian and international forums (I suppose you have already contacted all your real and virtual friends before taking this step) is worthy of a rapid apparition on the second stage, I can only wish you good luck.

In my opinion, the only winners in this game are the MC organizers: they exploit you and your potential return (a bigger exposure) is probably just an illusion. I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

As I said before, for me that’s not metal, it’s only industry, so I don’t respect it and of course I don’t support it.

I think that many Italian bands would never accept this kind of treatment (pay to play or similar compromises): Vomit the Soul, Putridity, HOP, Imposer, Logic of Denial, Tools of Torture and so on... In a certain way they are condemned to the underground, but on the other hand I bet they are proud of that.

Good luck again!

In fact he will not go as he told me on PM, shitpifter was wrong -or joking as well...


Oh well, it is worthy of course -what's the problem in contacting people and ask them if they want tickets? I mean, it's not that hard work and it's promoting the band as well in a certain way, so it's not that heavy burden...


I think it's not that true... I'm not talking about BIG exposure, but surely playing in front of 100 (200? 300?) people coming from every corner of Europe is way more useful than playing in the same old local venue you've been playing for 5 years -isn't it?
Plus, having the backstage pass means the possibility to wander in the backstage and to get in contact with the industry people -that doesn't mean you will get a contract for sure, but it's more likely to find someone interested that way (they see you live, they have your CD in hand) rather than mailing promos everywhere and hoping they won't be thrown in the usual CD dusty column on a side of the A&R office...


Oh well, I don't know personally some of these bands but I can assure you that there are many that would accepet more humiliating things for sure -and sometimes declaring that you'll be pure and outside of industry games is a very good way to sell yourself, just like Manowar stuff with their brotherhood concept, a big charade to have people thinking "What a determined and unique band!" and draw their attention...

Capisci?

samo nabijaj postove ...

to je jedino sto znam i sto mi je kul na italijanskom, letvo jedna

biž ća ...

Vaffanculo!


ONTOPIC: Fabio, I really doubt that you'll sell any tickets here, but good luck anyway!

al kako mu hapa otrese na talijanskom hahah!

to hapa!

Evo sam' za Addija, posto voli old skul.

Shiptifteru, jebes ovo, Obscene Extreme je pojam festivala za Metal Camp. Cisto sumnjam da bendovi moraju placati da bi svirali, trodnevna karta kosta k'o jednodnevna za MC, cuga daleko jeftinija i naravno kud i kamo bolja mjuza.

pa eto, kad je već tako kreni s rajom, biće ti dobro

joj hape jes' kralj

a da vidiš tek kad mu je gore odbrusio na italijanskom, mislim da se frajkan ovaj što je postavio temu sjebo kući, konto da sa samim Vragom ima posla
