TPK, Minton, Beastieboys.com
Can you give us an idea when some more east coast dates will be announced? Will there be multiple NYC shows?

Re: TPK, Minton, Beastieboys.com
it's not me minton nor beastieboys.com (aka johnny) who handle this tour "shit".
as soon as we're provided with the info, it gets posted on the site. so there is no delay on our part. we do the best we can to make the situation a bit better.

Re: TPK, Minton, Beastieboys.com
Admin puts out confirmed dates when they get them. If they are told there is going to be an announcement, they may mention that, but it's not their fault if the band, promotions, etc., change it. Would you rather they don't mention anything?
I don't mean to sound like some kind of admin defender when I post about them, but whenever I've asked a question, or e-mailed them directly about something, they have been responsive and helpful. The Beastie Boys board is pretty much the only one I post on, and that is in part because I think it is well run. (Although, admin -- I will admit it is primarily because of the band and info about them and the 2004 tour). |

i've been the most active admin in the live forum and i've tried to keep people positive by giving them answers and hopes. what people might not realize is that we can't give out any info at all, that isn't yet confirmed. so basically, we can't say anything re: tour if it's not on bboys.com except for upcoming "updates" and general comments and info re: tour.

dude, what the f*ck do you expect? you want them to e-mail every single freaking person on this board? i don't think so. they do a damn good job, and everyone else on this board knows it. it's a FREE service they provide to us beastie fans!! they could shut this whole f*cking thing down, and we'd have no inside info at all. if you don't like the way things are run, then get the hell off and try to find the same info they are providing!!!! yeah, you CAN'T! chill out. |

Re: TPK, Minton, Beastieboys.com
Hey you can be angry at a website all you want, but here is the story.
We do exactly as we are told. This site has not messed up once with presale/show announcements. That means we have posted the dates when we are told, we have posted the ticket info when we are told, we post the ticket sale information exactly as we get it from the people show are actually calling the shots. What could we have messed up? We get the times and the passwords from someone else, we post them. If it's messed up, we are not at fault. And we are monitoring these sales to make sure things are right, and if they aren't, we are on the horn right away to tell the people who can actually do something that things aren't right. That is all we can do. Having said that, It's not that we don't hear you re: your frustrations, but the simple fact is, there is nothing we can do. We just work here. We don't like the way the tour is being rolled out either (we are fans too), but who the heck are we? We're nobody. We don't have say in how this is done. What I CAN tell you is that it's not that the band has booked all the shows and we are just sitting on the dates. That is TOTALLY not the way it is. These shows are being booked one at a time, and we are announcing them as they are CONFIRMED. This isn't REM, this isn't PRINCE or MADONNA, it's Beastie Boys, and this is the way they are doing it. Not all tours book 50 shows all at once and do a big announcement of all the dates. To say were are just 'passing the buck' is a bunch of bullshit, and you know it. Stop being so damn angry all the time. Do you pay for this service? No you don't. THEY pay to provide you with this service. So as far as I see, you have nothing to stand on. In fact all you are doing is making some of us think "why bother". And that can translate into some of these services not being offered again. So then *you* will have to pass the buck when all the other fans who appreciate what this site does want to hunt you down. Some of you complain so much it gets to the point of being amusing. Like you are "owed" something. Wake up. When you buy the record you are owed some music. When you buy tickets to a show you are owed entertainment. When you visit the free website, you aren't owed shit. You get it for free. For fun. Not to sit here and bitch and moan. Wake up. This is an internet message board.

"services not being offered again". oh please! everyone is getting the tour info from someplace else before its even announced here. are you expecting me to to cry over the possibility of "services not being offered again" when, as of right now, you can get it somewhere else before its announced on this site. or do you expect me to believe that you're gonna stop doing shit cuz i and some others complain. yeah, i'm so worried now. "Wake up. This is an internet message board",, wow! such words of wisdom i would've never figured this place to be a message board. and all this time i thought it was the garden of eden. |

Re: TPK, Minton, Beastieboys.com
i got a question regarding tourdates...
MTV.com (i'm thinking that they don't know shit) posted a bunch of dates for this tour a long time ago, but as far as we know they weren't confirmed. what i want to know is, where do they get their info? why aren't you guys being told anything at all when the asshats over at mtv are jumping the gun and posting dates that they are basically making up? what gives? |

Ticketmaster has been posting dates without permission, and trust me, the band's management is bothered by that. They and the band want the website to release the dates, but TM continues breaking agreements and jumping the gun. On the flipside, is it THAT important? Does it matter if TM has the dates up a few hours before we do? All I'm saying is that to bitch and moan is pointless. This is just the way it's going to go, so we all might as well get used to it. We will be your source for confirmed info on the dates. If you want to listen to rumors and such, that is your choice, we can't control that.

press will always be press. as soon as they get a hold of info that would interest readers they'll publish it if it's from a decent source.

any idea as to how much of the tax burden is paid by the richest 2%? makes sense they should benefit more from any tax cuts since the pay more than everybody else in the first place, proportionally.....

Re: TPK, Minton, Beastieboys.com
I am just as upset about the dates being announced last minute and so far in between each other, but how can anyone get mad at the messager?? Let the Admins do what they are here to do. They are not teachers and should not have to deal with all this harassment. Anyways.....
