This is great... so I decided I wanted to consider looking for a few new bands to manage. So I thought I'd look outside of OC/LA, and post a craigslist ad in Portland. I immediately get back a response to my ad from a lovely band called Fused. I could not help but laugh my ass off... here is the back and forth conversation:Original Craigslist Ad:
Los Angeles based Artist Management & Development Company looking for new bands to work with. Styles we are looking for are...
Indie Rock
Alt Rock
Pop Rock
Dance Rock
We are NOT looking for Rap, Country, Metal, or Punk, so please dont bother.
We are also only looking to work with bands that are established, touring, professional acting/looking, and have their "act" together. We are not looking for jr higher garage bands with no equipment and 70 friends on their myspace. If you are even questioning whether you qualify, then you probably dont! Please send us a Bio, Myspace link, Photo, etc. to be considered. If we are interested, we will contact you.
Thank you

"So i quess Alter Bridge, Disturbed or Metallica wouldn't interest you? Nobody is interested in blood sucking hangers on like yourself. There is a new thing out called the internet. Your a dinosaur, go get a job, Putz."
My Reply to Mr. Hamilton:
hahahahah...what? are you possibly retarded? did you read the ad i posted? or maybe your in some shitdouche band that sounds like alter bridge...right?
let me guess.. you are in some homoerotic cheesy metal band with "sweet leads" and long hair... right? you probably all have backwards baseball hats, gotees, and fat girlfriends....
dont worry... a blood sucker like myself would definitely have no interest in a doucherock band like yours... theres this thing called radio... i tend to like to work with bands that actually might be on it one day... not lops that still think creed, mullets, and transams are cool...
btw... far from a dinosaur... if you even had a clue who your talking to you would probably reconsider your email...
id say for you to get a job... but you probably already have one at the local walmart... so good luck..and have fun with that!

Mr. Hamilton's Reply:
Struck a nerve huh? Quess what asshole, we are on the radio and we didn't get there by using a management company that lives off of others talent. You have everything ass backwards. A really good band doesn't need you or a record label. You need them! You are a dinosuar and thats why you responded so violently. If you really want to snag some unsuspecting sucker band you might start by not talking down to them. We have dealt with your kind before and your business is no better than being a pimp. You screw everything and everybody you can and then move on. Good luck polesmoker.
Haha... Don't you just love retarded metalheads who still think they are viable to this world! Notice he didn't even bother to try and defend his more then likely fat girlfriend! Here is a link to his bands myspace site...

Take a look/listen and tell me how dead accurate I was with my discription of his band! (keep in mind, I did not look his myspace up until AFTER I responded to him!)

Good times!

Here is a pic of the hot ass that awaits these guys backstage after the show! Man... I am so jealous!
