Steve the Breakfast has been late before too ya know. **** happens.
First off I am definitely well aware of that....However at least since I have been working for them they have made a concerted effort to be on time everytime. And we have......
Secondly both bands that opened for us were from Philly.......And no matter what the breakfast tardiness average is, I am pretty sure that they were on time when opening for bands in New Haven......And then I would go out on a limb and say that nobody came on the internet bitching about the headliner being jerks about a show that they were the openers and extremely late and causing the headliner not to get a proper soundcheck......
But then again......It all really doesnt matter because, this too is just internet bullshit, and we have 2 shows coming up this weekend and I am **** PUMPED......
-
prolly codename, steve..
thats this sat in NJ, gabe.
-
i was thrilled just to have a bracelet not even thinking about openers. i didnt witness any douch bagness so, **** em and feed em beans
-
to most folks who dont know the band/crew,i could understand how they could think there a buncha dickheads.for the most part,were all a buncha ballbreaking painintheass shittalking ballbreakers.nothing worthy of being hated.good clean fun.
**** em all!
-
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...

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.
-
Ahhhh... so one **** ass whiner with bad taste in music comes on jambase and talks **** about Ron and the road crew.... and this is anybody\'s but his own fault how?
I mean, I wasn\'t at this gig, but I\'ve never seen Ron or Breakfast road crew be rude .. especially intentionally where it wasn\'t obvious they were so busy I would have had to be a real pain in the ass to try and bug them at the moment anyway.
This dude\'s in a band too, lucky enough to open for Breakfast which no doubt owned their sloppy asses and actually drew a few people to their otherwise would-be-vacant performance, and still talking ****. **** this dude. **** him in his stupid ass.
-
the Breakfast has done things their way, and it has worked so far.
really?? :hscratch:
-
Robyn that\'s kinda mean. Why the desire to make someone else miserable?
Also, I am not sure that the idea of "The Breakfast has done things their way and it has worked so far" is very solid. First of all, they don\'t sell out Toad\'s. Secondly, There has to be sacrifice in this game...
Steve the Breakfast has been late before too ya know. **** happens.
I just don\'t think an attitude from anyone is necessary. Band, crew, fans, whomever. No one has to be asskissers, hell, they can be cool, indifferent, standoffish, etc.. Fine. But being rude is just rotten, from anyone, anywhere. We all have bad nights and bad moods. It\'s just important to try and make life more enjoyable for everyone. jeez.
Oh, and for the sake of whatever: I have never encountered anything other than positivity from the band and everyone associated with it in my dealing with them.
(Except for that STG guy)
-
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 ;)
-
i\'m not talking about the other band. what they do/say is their own problem. all the band/crew can do in this situation is look and see what their part in it is. we could sit here all day and **** about how lame the other band is for posting a dick review, but that would get us nowhere. lets look at our own side of the street. thats all we can do to keep things moving foward both personally and professionally.
-
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:
-
dont you have a show to get ready for Cobb?
-
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.
food food for for thought thought....
-
no, just everything else i\'ve heard or seen of him so far makes him a giant **** in my eyes. that was a step up.
-
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. ;)
-
wow, thats is not very nice at all. actually that pretty much makes this kid a huge douche bag in my book.

people have the right to be grumpy when they feel grumpy...just dont be mean.

Sounds worthy of a sucker punch!!

I don\'t like reading stuff like this, but I will say that this is not the first time I have heard such comments. I have heard them directly out of musicians\' mouths before, and nice guys too with no agenda whatsoever.
I don\'t expect anyone in the band (or working for the band) to be mushy gushy all of the time or anything... but to compare their being rude/standoffish/whatever to the Dead\'s crew is silly. That\'s ok when you are the GD. When you are a band still struggling to make it, you really need to try not to **** anyone off. IMHO, of course... :duck:
Thing is a road crew is a road crew no matter who they work for. The GD crew just got lucky the band they worked for was who they were.
As far as not pissing people off, other than the venue no one else really needs to be coddled(sp?).
In other words "If you are not on this stage to help out my band get the **** off the stage, stay out of the way and shut the **** up" Roadie Mantra #1
so true. they need as many allies as possible within the music industry. i really don\'t see the need for copping an attitude. other bands are in the same boat, working hard, being on the road, etc. there is no excuse for anyone to be rude.
See Roadie Mantra #1

the band being spoken about

prolly codename, steve..
not sure what you mean....

Well the first opener were all a bunch of 17 year olds who were almost not allowed to play...I am thinking it wasnt those kids.....Plus they were more on time than the second opener.....were very very late......

North Star Bar. The Breakfast, The Blue Method, Brandon Meyer Trio

chadwick can eat taint however, cuz in providence i introduced myself to him by saying, "hey wahts up man, im tim" he responded with a "....so?"
wow, thats is not very nice at all. actually that pretty much makes this kid a huge douche bag in my book.
-
It also should be mentioned (as this just came to my mind) that we were forced to hold up on setting up due to the fact that the opening band was extremely late and the loadin door at the northstar was behind the stage (to open the door you actually have to lift up part of the stage floor). Though we got all our gear onto the stage, we couldnt set up until the opener got there......So basically they may have caught some attitude because we had to rush our set up after they came rolling in much later than they were supposed to......a rushed setup will definitely **** off the band and sound and light guy because they didnt get to do all the soundchecking they needed to do......so now in retrospect, that guy who posted that is a real prickwad......

well the Hells Angels ain\'t a very friendly bunch of guys
Yeah but they were never road crew only security.
I hear you Leith.......I know we aren\'t out there to be nice and ass kissy to everyone we meet, but I really do try to be amicable to everyone that works in the venues as well as in the opening bands.....But the longer I am on the road the more I am realizing what it takes to be successful at it......I really wish I could remember the name of the opening band at the NorthStar though.....Because a post like that doesnt help them if we are ever on a bill with them again....
Yeah it\'s weird how an opening band\'s time can get cut because of some "problems" that arise during the headliner\'s set-up/soundcheck. Problems that no matter what the crew does just can not get fixed in time for the opener to start on time.
It\'s also weird how those same problems can miraculously disappear under the right circumstances ;)
-
come on guys, poopheads the nicest kid i\'ve ever met, he\'s always in a good mood, never freaks out about anything, always lends me money and food, and is generally the most good natured guy ever

Dude don\'t let it get to you. Well known fact GD road crew equaled some of the biggest **** in the industry. Also well known fact no one you would rather have on your side in a fight and some of the best folks ever.

"do you post as magnoliafan on moviepoopshoot.com?"
I find this kids post hard to believe honestly......
Thanks Hol.....
that scene was the first thing to pop into my head as i was reading this. i mean what are they expecting.... to come into some lovie dovie hippie fest where everyone welcomes you to a show with open arms. We\'re a shady bunch of folk and everyone one else is sketchy at best.
The more i think about this the more it really pisses me off.....
:that:
-
haha that is funny. Yeah if you don\'t know Chad I could see being put off by him. Ellis is a prick when working, Ron does not speak and Gencs is soo in awe of being "on the road" he\'s always happy if a little rushed @ times.
Ya know Tim and Adrian ARE the nice guys in the bunch!

it seems like crew members are in a shitty mood most of the time (except gencs)
Thanks Hol.....

this doesn\'t really surprise me. it seems like crew members are in a shitty mood most of the time (except gencs). it really sucks to read something like that. doesn\'t exactly give the best message.

:shrug: I don\'t see any problem with that review... it\'s completely true :lol: :duck:

I\'d just like to say that my band was recently fortunate enough to be able to open for the Breakfast at the Northstar Bar in Philly. We were all really excited and hyped up for the gig, but to our dissapointment, with the exception of the drummer and guitar player, everyone working in or associated with this band was a complete **** for no reason. the sound guy thought he was the hottest thing ever, but in reality, wasnt even in the band. The guitar player was extremely nice and an open musician, but the ridiculous attitudes of the rest of the crew was enough to **** us off for the whole night. screw you breakfast crew
"Jay and Silent Bob, i read on the internet that you\'s guy\'s are a couple a little f#ckholes...."
