| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | HAH! what ever happened to SD playing shows for any thing they could get, whats the Garantee on this, even Jello was only $20, and thats only cause of the fact we couldn't get a big enough venue... any one ever see anouther state of mind?

| begbie User Info... | Yes, that is terrible. Musicians wanting to charge people to see them play so that they can make a living doing what they want to do instead of working as a dishwasher or urinal cleaner. Yes, it is terrible that musicians want to earn $$$ so that they can pay their rent, food for their kids, and medical insurance. - Mon, 5 Mar 2007 5:36pm | ||

| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | $35 is not a bad price to pay for a band that always brings it, and has done so for damn near 30 years. I'll be there. - Mon, 5 Mar 2007 11:40pm | ||
| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | it makes me sad... Back in 96, when I was 16 I really liked SD, they were one of my fav bands... I listened to sick boy so many times, I loved lines like "don't you feel no shame, thats what eve said to adam, before she came." Back then though sd played $5 shows, toured a lot, and played with underground diy bands... Now you can get social distoriation wall clocks, and get their cd's @ any major store, sd back packs too... and no more $5 all agers now, think of it the over all cost on the arena is arround $3000 rent, plus sound system, tix are $35, and the arena holds 1400 people... I am assuming this will not sell out, but still even 700 people, half capacity thats a lot of cash... As I said it makes me sad, cause really I would like to see socail d, but there is no way I am gonna pay more for them than a tix to distort fest or burning portland, and as much as I would like to see themm, their now in that catagory with bands like Against Me and Chumbawumba, and the Brat Attack... - Tue, 6 Mar 2007 2:43pm | ||
| the Devil in Miss Jones User Info... | dude, did you ever think that it may have to do with the other bands playing the bill as well? fuck man, you try to rain on everyones parade. - Tue, 6 Mar 2007 5:18pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | Once again Conrad, we bump heads on an issue. First off, I'd love to hear where you saw SD for $5 in 1996? I've seen them a half a dozen times (the earliest in '92) and it was never less than $20(maybe $15 once). Next, their CD have been available in major stores since their major label self titled debut in 1990(The one that "Sick Boy" was on). Even before that they were on Enigma which had major distribution. In the 80's I lived in a hick redneck town, yet I was still able to find "Mommy's Little Monster" and "Prision Bound" at the local record store. SD hasn't really changed at all since Ness cleaned up in the late 80's. A little less punk and a little more rock n roll, but who cares? He writes and plays damn good music and deserves to live off of it. You compare this to bringing in Jello to talk, but Jello just shows up by himself to do his thing. A band of this size needs to bring a truckload of equipment as well as a bus for band and a sizable crew. That means ferry money, as well as payment, food and lodging for said crew. You have to understand that SD aren't, nor do they want to be, the same old punk band with four dudes in a shitty Econoline barely making their way from town to town. They're past that. Lastly, you need to realize that a lot of people are punk rockers for the music and the way it makes them feel, not the hippie PC ideals. Ty - Tue, 6 Mar 2007 8:00pm | ||

| ricky jak User Info... | I had the chance back in 1983.... the Dayglos, Suburban Menace, and another LA band named Youth Brigade... at the OAP down town Victoria.... the show got shut down by the police due to open booze. Yeah and the admission at that time was only $5 advance $6 at the door..... Conrad are you sure it wasn't this show you where refering too? Back then I was making $2.65 an hour sweeping up and repairing tires at an automotive repair shop.... so it cost me 2.7 hours labour to potentially see this show. So now this time SD are chargeing $35 to see them and minimum wage is $8 an hour... so it will cost you 4.2 hours labour. so you have to work only 1.3 hours extra... WOW seems like a real good deal to me. But then again not everybody works for a living... hippies. If you love the band support them! and Ty said it! "ABSOLUTE MUSIC" dance & fun anyway... Rod Stewart is playing Van this weekend and Tickets are over $100 each.... hummmmmm why is a Great Band Like Social Distortion charging so little for thier tickets? I'll be at The SOCIAL DISTORTION SHOW! just wanted to write something.... -ricko - Tue, 6 Mar 2007 10:51pm | ||

| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | hmmm.... conflict is playing a series of $10-15 shows, and their coming with a lot of equipment from england, and playing often smaller venues.... I guess it must be 1990....? $5 a tix could have covered costs, and still made a profit. $10 would still have made decent profits, and yet seamed acceptable.... even $15 is pushing it. Hell back before i cared as much about lyrics I saw Clit 45 with Lower Class Bratts, for $5, I saw the Vibrators and the Gutter Demons for $12. I saw conflict for $10, shit it was only $55 for united fest with the addics, anti-nowhere league, Ripcordz, conflict, gutter demons, dickies, bunch of fucking goofs, and many others (30 bands)... Distort was even cheaper, with many great bands... Even Burning Portland (great line up) is only about $30 I think you decide whats a better deal... And I don't even bother mentioning those bands playing stadiums for $100 tix, cause I think it is obviouse, their rock stars, not punks. - Tue, 6 Mar 2007 11:48pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | NNB is entitled to his opinion. Even if we all disagree. You cannot compare Jello's little talk to this show. I was at Jello's talk. All he did was preach to the choir, and make fun of U.S. politicians physical appearances. It was cool to see Jello, but not really worth $20. If we want big name bands to come here, we have to pay. Social D is a big name band. $35 is not much in the grand scheme of things. See ya there! - Wed, 7 Mar 2007 2:41am Edited: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 2:41am | ||

| Nautical Dog User Info... | $35, ha, I paid $50us and drove to Colorado to see them at Red Rocks with Tiger Army and the Supersuckers. Maybe I'm crazy, but it was more than worth it to me and I'd do it again. Got lucky a year ago when they were playing house of blues Anaheim while me and my fiance were at Disneyland. Tickets for that were about $30us, which really isn't to bad. Yeah, $55 for 30 bands is a good deal, but I like Social Distortion and I'm not worried about what's a better deal. The better deal is going to see what you like because you like them, not because it's a better deal! - Wed, 7 Mar 2007 11:39am | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | I had typed a big response to NNB last night, but my shit timed out and it was lost. Ah well. short version: Yep, we all have opinions. Agree to disagree. Also, Nautical Dog hit it on the head at the end there. If you go around shopping for the "best deal" in your music, you'll most likely end up getting something less than you expected. Quality, not quantity. See most of you at the show! - Wed, 7 Mar 2007 9:08pm | ||
| Leo Bondage User Info... | I was gonna say something but i relised the sarcasm.....anyways, I can guarentee me,bryce n' jodi are gonna be there. Session up the SD! - Wed, 7 Mar 2007 9:59pm Edited: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 10:00pm | ||
| THE FLY ON THE WALL User Info... | Hey noise, you say that porltand burning man concerts cost less money. Do you sneak on to the ferry and steal your gas? - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 8:27am | ||
| Mean Mike User Info... | yah I loved the good old days of $5 concerts and $8 cases of beer and $2 smokes. Back then the ferry cost $5 to walk on and $20 to drive. Gas was $35cents a litre. You could rent a 3 bdr house in Vancouver for $500 and the bus was only 50cents. WAKEY WAKEY! - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 10:56am | ||
| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | shows are still $5... the ones I go to... I agree we can agree to disagree, but it aint only a good deal, many of these cheaper shows, the bands are just as good or better. - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 11:12am | ||
| Mean Mike User Info... | yah and alot of bands that tour around for $5 shows are pretty much going into the hole, or on vacation while playing. (ie: paying for the trip out of pocket) For some bands this is fine, especially up and coming ones that want to or need to experience the life of the road. But look at a band like SD, these are old men that have toured massively, the allure of sleeping on strange mattresses and showering once a week in a never been cleaned bathroom has probably worn thin for them many years ago.. - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 11:31am | ||
| Livevic Scott User Info... | > saw the Vibrators and the Gutter Demons for $12. I promoted that show and know that the opening band lost money to play the gig and the healiner barely broke even. I did the show on a door deal because I knew the turnout would be shakey but wanted to get the band to the island, they really wanted to play as they had an extra date and played for a door split. The show in Vancouver on that tour was $20. Also Clit 45 and The Lower Class Brats ask about $1500 for a show on an off night as of about a year and a half ago and tickets for that tour were arround $15. $35 for Social Distortion is the going rate, the band packs the house wherever they play and put on a top notch quality show. Most shows are priced lower in Victoria then they are arround the rest of north america and everyone should realize that, the prmoters in this city (Dane from Ska Society and Enigmatica, Degree One, Dimitri/Nick/Gary from Atomique, Malcolm SOS + Sealed with a Kiss (though he lives in Van now) etc all try and keep their prices as low as possible for the public. Combine that with Lyles Place and some other merchants arround the city who are kind enough to act as sales vendors WITHOUT ADDING A SERVICE CHARGE and your getting a pretty sweet deal. - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 12:43pm | ||
| Noise Not Bombs User Info... | actually I saw those shows in edmonton.... - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 6:25pm | ||
| LivevicScot User Info... | Eitehr way the point is the same. - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 6:52pm | ||
| begbie User Info... | Those people who complain about $35 shows should stop hanging with DAJ at St. Anne's and look for work. Like Ricky Jak sex "it's only 4.2 hrs worth of work". Or if you're really lazy then you can pan handle. Maybe pretend that you're a vet with no legs like Eddie Murphy in Trading Places and push yourself around in a cart to score extra sympathy cash. - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 7:31pm | ||
| Stace User Info... | I saw Kick Axe for free when I was 13.... it was a pretty sweet gig. and I HAPPILY paid $35 (actually $70 because my son is going too) for my Social D ticket. Suck it up you fucking whiners - but if you have paid $250 a ticket for the Police show - then you are a cunt :) - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 8:50pm | ||
| Leo Bondage User Info... | sd for 35$ is cheap considering they've been around for like 30 years, and probably wanna make some money before they get too old and cant work dude. Con, when you put on the Jello show yo ucharged 20(no saying its unreasonable) and you said you lossed like 2000 bucks on that? Also didnt you have to pay airfare,hotel,cab etc? So i dont see the problem with SD charging 35 bucks for a show...and its probably gonna kick so much ass too. - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 8:55pm Edited: Thu, 8 Mar 2007 8:55pm | ||
| Helonwheels User Info... | I couldn't really give a rats ass what it costs. SOCIAL DISTORTION! Here in town- no trips to Van. Fakkin pinch me!!!! Hey did i mention??,....SOCIAL DISTORTION!! HERE In TOWN! Beyond Stoked. School girl giddy-ness! See you all there. - Thu, 8 Mar 2007 10:38pm | ||
| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | No cordel I had to pay $2200, plus a rider that included meals drinks, and a hotel, plus transportations, and I lost $1000, cause The turnout was only 135 people rather than the projected 250-300, and tix were $20 for adults, $15 @ for youth, as well I let you and peter in for a total of $3.40. I did not however pay airfair, that was included in his fee, as was his imigration costs to legally come into canada. If I had more than a week to promote it it would have broke even, and had I a bigger venue and 2 months to promote it tix would have been closer to $10, either way that venue didn't hold 1400 people. And jello been on the scene since 1978. Also conflict has been since 1982, and they still are playing $10 shows well on tour and often cheaper in the UK. INfact in both the cases of Jello and conflict when I have worked with them they requested to keep tix prices low, jello stated under $25, and Conflict had stated under $15. p.s asshole I am looking for work, it is hard though when I am committedf to the volluteer work I do and the organizing first, so I need a job that can work arround that schedual. - Fri, 9 Mar 2007 11:32am | ||
| jeff User Info... | "I saw Kick Axe for free when I was 13...." dude thats hella fucking sikk i saw slayer and COB for like 85 bucks and it ruled i havent heard SD before but from what ive heard they rule and 35 bucks isnt that bad for a band thats been thrashing for 30 years - Fri, 9 Mar 2007 1:23pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | When Jello spoke at Vertigo at UVic in 2000, it was $20. The room is massive and it was packed. You can't say that the small venue is the only reason your show was $20. There is nothing wrong with a band wanting to live off of it's music. Nothing at all. Con, you need to save that "PC, save the world one vegan potluck at a time" hippie jive for the underage girls at the punk shows. They'd be the only ones silly enough to buy into it. Oh, you never did mention how you'd get to Portland Burning for free, either. - Fri, 9 Mar 2007 4:38pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | Don't know if I'm going to this one.... I need to pay rent! Gonna go to the bank tomorrow and see if I can afford it. Maybe I'll rob a bank or a 7-11. I'm thinkin' I'd look hot in a ski-mask. The SD show does seem a little over priced but so many other things in this world are overpriced. Maybe charging so much will keep most of the scenesters out? - Sat, 10 Mar 2007 12:29am | ||
| CM User Info... | Social D in Victoria for 35 bucks? Bargain, I say. I missed them the last few times in Vancouver, and it seems to me that tickets were even more than $35 - plus you're dealing with the ferry, crashing overnight, all that stuff. For me, $35 is a small price to pay to finally see the band that got me into punk music in the first place. I have massive respect for bands who drive coast to coast, sleep on piss-stained carpets most nights, and play for $5. I try to get out and support these guys and gals as much as I can. I'm sure that Social D did this for years (not to mention dealing with prison, addiction, deaths of bandmates, etc.). Dues have been paid, and then some. Good times in Victoria these days. Social Distortion, DOA, the Bouncing Souls, plus all the usual great local stuff. - Sat, 10 Mar 2007 8:15am | ||
| The FLY ON THE WALL User Info... | Hey Conrad, I hate to say it but maybe the reason your show didn't sell out was because nobody wanted to see Jello. You need to wake up and see that change isn't going to come through you spitting out your crusty anarchist retoric on a message board, but through real life involvement with the people around you. The people who actually are making a change in this world are silent and just leading by example. Do the world a favor and instead of trying to be heard, listen for once and see the world is bigger than your vegan potlucking, sit around and complain but not do anything about it life. People like you remind me of that scene in Life of Brian when the Peoples front of Judea, or was it the Judean peoples front are sitting there passing motions and arguing. - Sat, 10 Mar 2007 9:00am | ||
| Leo Bondage User Info... | "as well I let you and peter in for a total of $3.40" No dude i paid 30 bucks for both me and bryce. Not saying it was a ripoff meeting jello was cool. I'm jsut saying SD for 35 aint that bad. - Sat, 10 Mar 2007 9:19am | ||
| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | Jim told me that he let you guys in for $3ish... sorry I thought we had let you in basically free. and Fly On The Wall, I am not sure who you are, but maybe having a week to promote was a good reason we only had over 100 people show up... So you think I just talk and do nothing... HMmmmm... I am wondering what it is you do? I could be arrogant enough to spout out 40 things I am doing on a day to day basis, but I don't think it is needed, cause if you actually knew me, you would know I do a fuck lot, and more than talk, more than even just set up shows. So again, what do you do? - Sat, 10 Mar 2007 1:02pm | ||
| The Wolf User Info... | They still have a stack at Lyle's but peeps were buying them when I was there... Best Deal $35 Bux TAX INCLUDED AND NO RIP OFF HANDLING FEES thanks Atomique and Lyle's place - Sat, 10 Mar 2007 3:48pm | ||

| THE FLY ON THE WALL User Info... | well your first post for Jello was on the 16th of October and the show was the 28th. That seems like enough time for me. As for what I do let me tell you what i don't, go to vegan potlucks and bitch and whine about the state of our capitalist economy while working people in Africa are trying to bring real change, not hypothetical change to the communities around them. Here is the deal, since most of us don't know who you are, why don't you list 10 of the forty things you are doing. - Sat, 10 Mar 2007 5:52pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | I went to a vegan potluck once in Stanley Park when I was 18 and confused. I came very close to being recruited by the Hairy Krishnas. Ha! But seriously, the concept of a free vegan potluck is noble. We might not agree with NNB, but IMO free vegan food for all, is cool. - Sat, 10 Mar 2007 7:01pm | ||

| speedymarie User Info... | heehee, i am such a keener, went down to ticket master EARLY to snag my tix....i WAS the line up! luckily purchased at lyle's in the end (tix 8, 9 & 10) great deal, no service charges! last i saw 'em in seattle paid through the nose....upgraded from nosebleeds to floors due to an overzealous bouncer! so glad i don't have to drive hours and hours and pay ferries-gas and accomodation to see one of my favorite bands of all time! although, roadtrips with great friends for gigs can be quite fabulous! - Sun, 11 Mar 2007 1:05pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | So you'll spend $2100 on Jello but $35 is too much for Social D? - Sun, 11 Mar 2007 5:56pm | ||

| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | so was socail d playing for $35, or for thousands making the tix $35? maybe I got confused here but I don't believe that socail d plays for $35 a show, or jello charges $2100 for a tix to see him... - Mon, 12 Mar 2007 2:46pm | ||
