Bacardi B-Live presents Global Gathering - March 18th

[Guest riotgear]

Ultra has very strong name recognition with the masses. Outside of the clubbing world, very few people in america have heard of Global gathering. They have heard of your artists, and I am sure the show will do well...however, I can't tell you enough...YOU CANNOT OVER PROMOTE.

If both shows do well the people win. I want to see that happen.

I have to agreewith your comment, this morning I was hearing 93 Rock and the announcers were advertising Global Gathering as a festival featuring NIN, Rob Zombie, Sevendust, ect. One of the announcers mentioned Global Gathering only one time and the time that he mentioned it was to make fun of the name. He said he never heard of the festival and mentioned the date.

Your right people dont know what Global Gathering is? And the people who are advertising the event on 93 Rock are advertising it as if it was Rock only Festival when actually they should mention to the public that other stages will be featured from different styles of the Electronic Genre.

I really think both events will do fine but to the masses GG is considered a Rock Festival.

ive heard the same as i listen 93 rock daily, but im sure most ppl will mostlikely go online to get some info on the event and eventually find out its edm as well...95% of people that listen to rock music like some type of edm...

personally im just going for that, the edm is cool n all n i might take a glimpse at it...but for me this is something different, ive been to clubs all my life n have heard most dj's out there or at least the ones i got my ass to go out to...this will be more variety in my book

95% or rock fans listen to EDM too? not sure I agree with that. I bet that 75% of rock fans wouldnt know what EDM stands for (and Pod would prefer you not use the term EDM fyi, tell em pod!). I think that GG is def being billed as more of a "rock" act (never really considered NIN rock but whatever), look at their own fliers, the "rock" acts are listed more promenintly. which is fine, let GG bring a rock centered fest as a pre-show to the WMC madness, more power to em. I just feel bad for the quality musicians like deep dish and lawler who are going to get upstaged by "DJ" tommy lee. gotta say, so far ultra is bookin more artists I wanna see considering my main focus will be on the electronic music and not the "rock". maybe I'd be more into GG if I was a bigger rock fan. what about ritm and junkie XL? anyone know where they're gonna be around during wmc?

taz ;-)

RITM and Junkie XL will be playing somewhere during WMC.... at a music festival event i believe.........

Budget wasn't an issue, it was logistics ;D

i concurr pod.. budget is allways an issue with any event.

however i would rather have a bunch of mullet heads drinking bud from broward than thugs and need to put metal detectors at gate.

[Guest pod]

OK let me rephrase that. Budget is always an issue, but it isn't a huge issue for us ;D.

And yeah, I'd rather deal with the goths and the mullets than having to wear my Class IV's to the event.

Hey buddy,

Listen, all the artists that we have booked were not dragooned into playing for our festival.

If someone wanted play for another party, so be it, that is the reality of the market economy we live in.

That’s really the sad thing about all this drama here, that certain people have forgotten that we live in the United States of America. Not the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics…

What I mean is that we live in a society which permits freedom of expression and association. If some artists want to play for us? Well, go for it! If they want to play for someone else? Well, that’s their prerogative.

You preach freedom, but yet it is a major issue when someone chooses to exercise it.

You got my PM and email, if you wanna talk about it further, I'm available.

Welcome to the United States of America.

what up pod,

was that in response to me? I couldnt tell, it didnt seem to pertain to anything I said, and I didnt receive any emails or PMs...

Nah, it wasn't for you. It was for one of the people who gets a kick out of being a weenie.
