Well they sell a DVD for the NEMHF, want to do books and all sorts of other, are you really surprised by any of this? Give them some credit for trying to put together a group of bands that a lot of different people would want to see. If it were so easy, more people like yourself would be putting them on.

I'm sure you'd love to have the King Diamond show all to yourselves, but it's a good show that really adds to this fest (obviously). It just makes TOO MUCH sense to put them on the fest.

And yes, the fests are about making money. You can sit there and preach your integrity about the music all you want, but obviously, if you don't go, someone else is going to buy your ticket. It's not about what you want or what I want, it's about what everyone wants. It's a metal AND hardcore festival, meaning there's going to be both.

Yes, more European festivals fly bands over, but look at how big they are. If NEMHF was packing in 10,000-50,000 people they'd be flying bands in from all over the world too, but you'd also have bands like Metallica and Slipknot headlining with four or five stages scattered everywhere. Do you want that or do you like it on this smaller scale?

At the end of the day, this is a business, and people need to make their money, and that's all there is to it. TOURS are done for money. Albums are put out for money. This entire industry is driven by $$$$$. Sad but true, because no one can live without it. The point of having a business is not to break even after all the bills are paid, it's to make money. If tours aren't making money, bands go home and even break up, because they can't afford to do it. It sucks, but that's the way it is.

I personally like a lot of different kinds of music. I am not really into much of the super death metal and stuff that a lot of you like, but I can dig some none-the-less. I understand that you're frustrated that all these cool underground metal bands don't get on the show, but this fest isn't really about that, and you should all know that by now. By the looks of things so far, they are making this pretty metal and there should be a bunch of bands everyone digs on it. So what if you have to deal with bands you don't like, everyone else is going to have to as well. Comes with the territory...
