Bad Music Venues

I just encountered a venue here in Asheville called The Get Down. It's a new bar/venue (there's no stage) with generally 18+ free entry, free pool tables and cheap beer.

The one thing about this place is - they book BAD music. INTENTIONALLY. Like sh!t punk bands, unimaginative beginner rock bands, just bad music. Their sound guy lives by the motto "HOW LOUD CAN THIS PA GO!"

I was just amazed at this place - and how well they seem to do. There were 4 local bands playing and there had to be at least 40-50 people there. I'd find it hard to believe the bands got paid. It's a small place and I'm sure they sold a lot of booze. Before I checked the place out I wanted to book my band there, but after going there...they'd probably turn us down for being "too good".

Just found it interesting that there's a niche place for bad music (by traditional music standards) to be played.

Tremont was a place that really went to utter sh*t. They used to book decent shows about 8 years ago. When I visited Charlotte a few years back, I was dragged there and watched some of the absolute worst crap I have ever seen live.

I've played there maybe a dozen times. With the Fillmore open now, national acts know where to go in Charlotte now.

      We were bad for years before Bryce Young and it wasn’t like this. I didn’t like the Rhule hire, but I didn’t drag the board down every chance I got. I didn’t like letting Cam go and bringing in Teddy, but I didn’t make it my mission in life to make sure everybody who disagreed with me was berated into submission.

      it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports team in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed ( I still content people falsely romanticize the old days).  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team.  if you are the most unsuccessful professional sports teams (Tepper's Panthers are that).....and a place like this isn't filled with very critical thoughts? Well, you probably don't actually have a real fanbase IMO.

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.
