I’ve seen, as have all of you, a drop in production. There’s been talk about the drop, but nothing’s really been done about it. As of now, the drop could only be attributed to one thing - the dismissal of J. Kroop. If T.B. doesn’t rise to their potential in the near future, letting Josh go could have been a mistake. The kid got it done. And with that said, this present management is not getting it done.
mr. maturo, how incredibly eloquent and constructive. nice job, and thank you for taking the time to put your thoughts into productive thread. it\'s easy to get frustrated to the point of utter rage, and it comes out sometimes with everyone bickering on the boards. nice to see a chance of pace... so thanks!
i guess the whole idea of the production really set in, for me at least, after the Freakout and New Years Eve show at the Webster this past year.... i remember not hating the webster as much when i first started going there years ago, and was trying to figure out why. I remember the Freakout in 2003, the circus theme... walking into the webster i remembered being absolutely floored by the amount of detail/attention put into that show. The walls were covered with decorations, there was a MOONBOUNCE in the bar, the stage was head to toe with detail.... it was an amazing thing, i was completely taken aback by the event -- not to mentioned, it was packed with people, in costume, having a blast.....
so imagine my dismay walking into a bare webster theater for new years eve. not even a shread of tinsel, confetti, or color. could have been mid-july in that venue for all i knew. dont get me wrong, the show was absolutely fantastic, and i had a blast, but the environment was most certainly lacking.
if it was josh kroop who brought us this fantastic atmosphere and promotion, then by all means, i gotta say it was a mistake to let him go.... if not, then whats the missing factor? the band has everything it takes, and i think as fans we do a lot too (a lot more than some other whiney fans give us credit for), so what is the missing element? what is that missing puzzle piece?
