SY - do you know how much your opening acts get paid?

boing · 07.03.2007, 06:21 PM

if not, shame on you, you should care. if yes, shame on you even more, it's pathetic.

ok...so?
is that necessarily the bands fault?
do your homework in the music biz before making stupid comments...

Danny Himself · 07.03.2007, 06:40 PM

Support bands are always shite anyway.

pbradley · 07.03.2007, 07:01 PM

boing should stick an "r" in the center of his username

pokkeherrie · 07.03.2007, 07:02 PM

I'm going to make a guess.... 2 free drink vouchers and a large bag of crisps for every member in the opening band?

I'd open for Sonic Youth for free.

neptuneg · 07.03.2007, 11:34 PM

maybe this dude was in a band that opened for sy or something

Everyneurotic · 07.03.2007, 11:37 PM

they pay you jack squat.

actually, sy have nothing to do with the pay, the beef is with the promoters.

HA!
You should "resume" the review that was in your signature.

sonicl · 07.04.2007, 02:41 AM

Surely opening for Sonic Youth is about the kudos, not the cash?

shellco · 07.04.2007, 03:38 AM

hello. first post. great board.
the OP sounds a bit harsh... but, hmm, maybe question is valid a little? dunnno....sure someone like marilyn manson doesn't know and give a shit, but i would expect thurston moore is involved a little more. i know opening for sy is great exposure for some unknown group (though they are of course only unknown to the audience, not sy) ... but my feeling always was that there is more relationship between than just about ad-space like every other mainstream band? i didn't know there is same kind of hierarchy.

what do you mean? i never met brian warner the man at the merchtable. does you question imply there is no difference between moore & manson?

sonicl · 07.04.2007, 03:54 AM

I have an opinion on Brian Warner / Marilyn Manson. He's a very clever goth pantomime dame who knows all the right buttons to press to part "disenfanchised" teenagers from their parents' cash. I quite admire the guy, in a business sense.

07.04.2007, 04:20 AM

Why would anyone want to open for Sonic Youth these days, anyway? They are old, have wrinkles and they are past their best.
