Topic: Shut Down by Sister Hazel tonight... - oh fucking christ.

i see it the other way - mainly because, well, it's the truth. And I didn't do that, though I know i could.

ultimately, it is just stupid because these days, it's my opinion if you don't want anything released on the internet or whatever, don't play em where more than just ears could be listening.

You think that taping is your right? I dont think you should be comended for doing what you should do.

[taperkat]

No. I never think taping is a right.

My point through the entire thing is that it's ridiculous to think that if you're playing new songs, they won't be released on the internet.

Everything they played last night i found on WinMX this morning. (and, imo, pretty nasty quality).

And, the other thing, is that the band has ALWAYS had one of the most free and open taping policies, and this is the actual first Sister Hazel show I've ever heard of that the band has said "you may not tape". It's an oddity in that sense.

I know *why* they did it, but i mean, christ, I signed a release for HOB twice (once for audio, once for specific media aka dat) and still was told no.. that's just nuts.

and, like i said - I am more of a stealth than a non stealth taper (i hate lugging my stand around), so theoretically I could have still stayed, and broken the wishes of the band, but i respect them enough to not do that.

Just thought that'd brighten your day a bit, TK.

i love that.

I understand where your coming from.  If the band is worried that the songs are going to leak they probably are anyway.  Or if the band is going to suck while trying to play new songs they probably shouldn't play them then.  There is no reason they should have turned you down after you have taped so many times unless they were ashamed how their performance is going to be.

Sorry, I still get a kick out of the part where you say "too lazy to copy and paste" yet you had to copy and paste the URL to the other board.
