Who the fuck are you to tell anyone what a 'little' amount of money is? A buck twenty is a buck twenty no matter how much you have other than that.

So now you're going to be arrogant on top of being a bitch?

That's stupid. Any type of Tech show is better than no type of Tech show.

And re: the PA.

Like I said before. Take the money you made from the VIP tickets, go to Sam fucking Ash and buy the equip. I might be crazy but... how do you tour relying on the venue to have the equip you need? I've "roadied" for local bands that had their own PA's/boards, etc. It they can afford the shit, why can't YOU?

I don't understand how an established act like Strange doesn't have their own shit.

Sounds like an "I found a brown M&M in my green M&M jar" situation. How are you going to be IN THE VENUE and not do a show, one way or another? Strange fucked up a great opportunity to just do songs over simple beats, whether they're from a stereo, beatboxing, an ipod... whatever. It's shit like that, and not the same cookie cutter show you guys always put together that people talk about, appreciate, and remember.

Watch NOFX Backstage Passport and cry about your fucking rider. NOFX is a classic punk band that has played to every city you've ever driven through, went to third world fucking countries and did shows. They by the way, actually play instruments. So they need more than a fuckin' cd player and a mic. When the promoter fucked up the entire show in Peru, Fat Mike played acoustic, by himself, outside the fucking motel for like 50 kids.

That's about the same size crowd you play to in NY.



You guys sound like a bunch of bitches.

Oh and btw, NOFX isn't on a major label. They paid for this whole tour out of their pockets. You can't watch this video and then cry to me about your fucking PA.

The show used to go the fuck on. I'd say I was surprised at Strange but... they've canceled two NY shows too.

You guys need to learn some fuckin' respect for the fans. The kids bought the tickets. Do the show.

Period.

Well times must have changed. Because there's an older dude at my work that used to DJ I guess...and multiple times he's told me this story about how Tech did a show back in the day...and a lot of the equipment messed up and Tech just winged it for the crowd and did his best...
