I didn\'t even know that the van was lost in an accident, was this ever posted on the board?

The reason that TPalms is getting so much attention from this is because Freddiewaht posted the idea of getting a little fund together. I am sure that if after the accident that a post came up we would have come to the same conclusion.

on a side note; The band needs to take more care of their business practices or hire someone to do so.

i\'d apologize for the rant, but i\'m not sorry. flame away.



good point, but i didnt think that most people who aren\'t friends with the band even knew about the van.

I think its more important to replace the pa than it is the guitar. i don\'t know if the issue has been resolved yet, but how is tim supposed to do his solo shows at richter\'s without a new one? i think there has only been 1 show where he had to provide his own pa since it was stolen, and ian took care of it for tim in bewteen 2 of his own gigs. ian will not be able to do that all the time, especially since he is moving away soon.

The van is the most important thing because the band can\'t tour without a reliable vehicle, but helping with that would be asking way too much of the fans. i dont think its possible for the fans to make much of a difference at all in raising enough money to buy a new van, but it may be possible for us to raise enough money to pay the difference for a new pa after tim gets an insurance check.

where i grew up friends try to help their friends out if they can.
me suggesting for folks to try to help the kid out should have absolutely nothing to do with being on his dick.thats gotta be a joke.
on a side note,if i was a chick id give timmypalms a hummer on stage in front of a sold out crowd.

Bottom line:

-Any small donations will help.
-Any amount of promotion will help.
-They need to get their butts in gear and hire someone to take control of their finances. If they want to be professional musicians, they\'re going to have to act like professionals.


Tim, Ron, Jordan, and Adrian have some sacrifices to make before they can go much further. Please don\'t get me wrong, I love this band, I love their music, and I love that they\'re trying hard, but there are several key areas in terms of money that have been overlooked as of late. I\'m saying all of this because I want the best for them and I want them to achieve their dreams.

I probably would too, Freddie...but you\'d have to have a sold-out show first. That\'s why there\'s all this money talk right now.

dude i completely forgot about the van.  definitly a much better cause than tim\'s stuff.  i\'m not saying it was ok that someone stole his stuff by any means, but leaving expensive equipment out in the open for an entire weekend is just not smart, not to mention that a sweltering hot van is not the place for expensive equipment to begin with....

Can you put a guitar or PA on a payment plan?

The band can always rent/lease a van or try to buy one on a payment plan.

This problem goes far beyond the fan. Something is wrong with the business side of the band. Doesn\'t the band have any money put away? Like a touring fund or a savings account? I know they make little money but if they just took a small percentage of what they made and put it away (something like 10%) then they would not have a problem with money or some of these other issues.

What happened to the van? Did they have insurance?

here\'s my problem..

i think this is really cute that you guys wanna come together so timmy could replace his guitar.. but tell me - where\'s the fund to raise money for the van that the band lost in an accident 2 months ago? right now, the band doesn\'t even have a vehicle to get from show to show in, because it was (more or less) destroyed in an accident. where are the raffle tickets for that??

i\'m sorry, but to me, that sure as hell sounds like a better idea than trying to replace something that tim lost due to his own stupidity. last time i checked, tim had another guitar.. i think he may have even played it last night.

i seriously think this band would be much better off if a lot of people stepped back and hopped off tim\'s dick for a minute, and maybe hopped onto the band\'s collective dick for once.

i\'d apologize for the rant, but i\'m not sorry. flame away.


holy rant, very valid opinions.  IMO, the sound is the fans touch point to the band.  stolen amps/guitars/pa\'s has a direct impact on this.

while wrecked vans have a negative effect on the band, I always assumed insurance would help get them outta that mess.

as far as being on Timmy\'s dick... well that\'s Steve\'s job.  But I don\'t think you\'d see a different kind of response if this thread was about a bass or drums or one of the rattist hammonds i\'ve ever seen.

maybe I\'ve assumed too much...??

if they had 1000 to work with, they would never have to be on a shoestring budget again.  they could probably be in the clear by Oct. and have no financial troubles.
