Ask the Tour Manager!!!

[tourmanager]

there is a new sheriff in town kids! and im here to let you in on all the dirty fucking secrets!!

i have been tour managing the Don since the release of WCLP and have known some of the members for over28 years....therefore i have lots of dirty dirt on the fuckers!

so the game will be played like this:
you ask a question, and i'll give you what you deserve!

for some of you, you might get all the hidden secrets you have waiting to learn about and for others you'll get the harsh reality of your hopes coming crashing down just like when you dad walked in on you touching yourself to pictures of Ian Williams at night.

it might not be fun, it might not be pretty, but it will be the truth!

so lets begin!
;D

[MotorMax]

[CioCio]

it's just better all round. no bands (except straight edge folk) want to play somewhere they can't get beers, if not before and during a set, definitely afterwards. it's just what you do, at least for my band. you sit there after the gig, getting drunk and giving out cos everything broke and the crowd was tiny and didn't "get it".
it's fairly similar for most people going to see bands (except straight edge folk). you don't want to stand there while some pretentious half-wit plays noise chords for fifteen minutes at a time as some damo suzuki rip-off reads from his imaginary girlfriends' diary without a bottle or pint close by. just in case. or maybe that's just me. bearing all that in mind, we once played an all ages gig where the bar was closed. we played one of our best sets ever and got a really good response.

Tour manger: of course they are, but not to play shows, just to enjoy their annual vacation on the beautiful sandy shores of viet-nam

Tour manager: you're honestly concerned with the look on his face? This show was almost a month ago and you are still thinking about Damon Che's facial expressions……

….try a personals site, you need a girlfriend.

Tour manager: there was one rule to this game….ask a question and get an answer. That was not a question, haven’t you ever watched jeopardy, you don’t get any points man, and as a penalty don cab is not going to play the cats cradle for a year… way too go man. ...ps. we eagerly await our return as well!

Tour manager: don cab takes their alcoholism very seriously!! This is something they have been working on for years! Do you know how hard it is to travel with 5 people in a cramped van going from city to city for hours on end, and somehow, someway…maintain a constant buzz?! Its nearly impossible!! But they work damn hard at it. You should be applauding how hard they work at it, not questioning them!

Tour manager: First off, mister hospital I don’t believe this question was addressed to you. Second, did any of that babble come close to forming a coherent thought? Refer to last response please..

Tour manager: Yes i could put you on the guest list. but the door guy might get mad when he cant read it because your on top of it.

[fvgazi]

[ShawnPhase]
