great perspective leith. they\'ll get really far with that approach.

As long as the band themselves are gracious and nice all is well. The crew does not reflect on the band unless they are complete **** all the time. Really.

Oh and @ least I have the direct experience to have a perspective on it.

You deal w/ local crews(usually a bunch of neck down ****), constant time crunching, clueless fans bugging you, and on top of that the musicians themselves and then let me know how you are doing with that whole keeping your cool and not being rude.

Wait a fuckin\' sec.!
Holly is talkin\' **** about people being rude? Oh come on now!

actually thats probably the coolest thing i\'ve heard about chadwick so far.  good job on that one.

Yeah you would think an arrogant **** attitude would be cool.

forget success, how about just being nice for the sake of being a decent person?  i know it\'s not the easiest thing in the world to have unconditional love for everyone and everything, but come on, it\'s nice to be nice.

and as for success, suppose a band opens for them and ends up taking off and getting really huge.  they get to decide who they want to open for them on their stadium tour.  they think \'these are the people that we\'re going to see every day for X amount of time....who do i want to spend so much time with?\'  they did open for a really talented band a while back but the crew were a bunch of jerks to them, so they go with a less talented band because they are much nicer to be around.

granted this is an extreme hypothetical but i think you all understand the point i am trying to make.  as a musician, my personal code of ethics is to always try and stay on good terms with anyone i work with on any level.  and so far, it\'s made my life pretty easy and these things have come back to me in a big way.

food for thought.

Quote from: leith

Ellis is a prick when working,

lets call a spade a spade here.....if you arent already "friends" with Ellis, he is a prick period...And he will not deny this, that prick....

as much of a jerk as ellis is... and, by jeerk I mean ****-whining **** with too much sand in his crotch kinda jerk... i still have to give him respect.  If he was being cold or rude, it was probably called for in the situation.  

When I was at the North Star that night, the Breakfast was in a great mood.  I kept seeing another band hangin\' around the green room, and perhaps they didn\'t get the "attention" they deserved, but c\'mon, get over it!  Writing a lame-ass review on a band in which you opened for is ridiculous.


<---- Calls for a total trashing of this "other" band\'s websites, reviews, and any other possible reputation-blowing endeavors :pissed:

sooo.... the best idea is.... hmmmm - bend over & kiss some dick in order to be "appreciated" in the music industry?  


<--- I disagree  -  the Breakfast has done things their way, and it has worked so far.









:lol:  I really just wanna to go trash & humiliate someone else\'s band, but I guess it can wait until tonight, jim

the Breakfast has done things their way, and it has worked so far.

really?? :hscratch:

YOU GUYS SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF FAGS.

big friggen deal.  whats done is done, nothing you can do about it now, i doubt its that big of an issue anyway.

Ron Spears = Rudeboy 4 Life

and i wouldn\'t want him to ever change.

1) everyone - chad, ellis, ron, gabo, were all really nice to me (ellis even moved our coats to a safer/more out of the way spot for us and chad and jill and i spent a good ten or fifteen minutes shootin the **** after the show, and i know i\'ve never met chad, and ellis maybe only once)

2) if it was the first opening band who made that post, then **** \'em! their big song was black and white>fresh prince theme song>black and white and once the rest of their pubes grow in, they\'ll have a much better perspective on the world. if it was the second opener, then why did they stick around for most of the show?

3) usually any publicity is good publicity, but since we\'re the only ones talking about it, i\'m not sure this is considered publicity...

4) man, i\'m just numbering things off today...

5) did i mention the lil white boys bustin\' out the michael>fresh prince>jackson?

6) the only thing that would actually mildly concern me, is that if it was the second opener, they had a lot of folks in the crowd that all left after their set. perhaps, if they\'d had their balls cupped like they wanted, there would have been more of an audience for the breakfast\'s set.

7) next time they\'re in philly, they should see if they can get agent moosehead to open. cool guys, very prog rock, lots of nintendo tunes...
