Hey guys \

you should see just how bad we are getting beat up in the battle of the bands forum by bands that didnt get picked (200 chances out of 10,059 bands) We host a site with their band profile and two mp3's for FREE and give them three chances to win and they are saying some really bad things. I love being the only company in the music business that gives bands online exposure in addition to haveing a full time stage that 10,000 bands have played on in the last three years and we are the bad guys.

If anybody feels like defending Big Poppa bring it on.

I once heard a saying, something like "dont bite the hand that feeds you".

This could apply here.

Youd think most of these kids would be thankful for the free press and exposure, but people arent always as gracious as wed like them to be.

BP, what forum specifically on the site? I've browsed a few of them but didn't see anything that stood out. I'd be happy to get your back on this one.

All I need are names.........and an alibi.

Simply monitor those in question and slam the door on them if they try to participate in the future....or, my team could roll in there and get an apology if needed......

Big Poppa, I'll defend you and EBMM at any time.....bring 'em on! It is a shame to be so gracious as you and your company are to have people bad mouth you. Stupid is as stupid does I guess. Send them my way.....anybody can be a keyboard commander.......let them tell me like a man and maybe they will sing a different story.....hehehehehe.,..

Thank You for bringing this to my attention. If you could provide a little better direction on how to find this atrocity, we will see if we can make apologies and exit strategies their number one concern.

or better yet

Thank You.

What a bunch of ungrateful punks. I don't know what to say other than after reading some of the posts, I would reconsider continuing the promotion next year. But what the heck do I know?

Well, if their bands didn't suck, then they'd have a better chance.

With all due respect to the non-U.S. citizens that frequent this board and play MM products, I must say that EB MM is one of the few U.S. bassed (

) companies that take a visibal role in the communities. I know there are others - but EB is the one you see promoting events, etc all the time. I respect a company like that. I give my money to a company like that.

To many company's are copping out and going overseas. So to the folks bashing you - tell them to f**k off. Let's see if Fender will put forth the effort that EB does.

Thanks alot I appreciate it

The term "sore loser" was coined for a reason. I just don't know why people can't take their lumps and move on. 200 OUT OF 10,059! There were way more losers than winners and even the losers still have a chance. Instead of griping and bitching they should be doing what they can with what time they have left.
