Hey Floyd, before you keep rambling on about Jake, just so you know, Jake was the ONLY ONE to come to WREKage to promote this fest. You didn't even make an attempt. But Jake got in touch with me and came to the studio to promote FTTA. So keep talking shit about the one person who took that avenue to promote your show.

Thanks for trying Brian, I don't think he cares.

i've stuck up for you in the past floyd as i didn't think you were a bad guy but thanks for proving me wrong so i don't have to defend you anymore. trying to back up your opinion is one thing, just blatantly insulting people is another...especially when it's someone who actually tried to promote your fest.

i did everything i could to help you and didn't criticize a single thing about your fest publicly and i really regret it now. i think you're a terrible promoter and the reputation you've garnered over the past decade that i've known you is proof of that. i've always thought you were a good guy but you are notorious for booking shows that do horribly if they even happen at all and then place the blame anywhere but where it actually lies, with you.

your choices throughout your entire promotion of this fest doomed it to fail, even with a good line up. you alienated the people who would actually attend your fest and then insult them and the city they represent when they don't show up. you bad mouth atlanta, and by proxy, the bands here and ensure that the touring bands you screwed will not only avoid atlanta in the future but also deter other bands from coming here with tales of "scene politics" and "elitist assholes." i've already seen it on other boards and it makes me really fucking angry that i tried to help you and you still managed to give our city a worse reputation than it already had and then turn around and insult the few people who tried to help you. newsflash floyd: everyone was voicing their concerns and criticisms whether privately or on the web because people were expecting it to fall a part at the last second...hence, shitty pre sales and shitty turnouts. you came off as having no clue what you were doing and by climbing on your soap box at every criticism you made enemies of your target market. ftta is still a fledgling fest, you NEED atlanta's support for it to do well, and the result is plain to see.

i sympathized with you and i still think that anyone who wanted to see these bands that didn't come out just to spite you is an idiot but you're not helping your cause by lashing out and insulting anyone with an opinion you don't like. suck it up, you're a promoter and regardless of what you do people are going to have shit to say, you can either be a man about it and let your shows speak for themselves or you can resort to petty insults and internet threats and make yourself look worse than you already do.

Honestly dude after your initial anti-FTTA comments made when the fest was first announced me coming down there honestly would have been a waste of a MARTA token. You know and I know it. In fact as late as late August there was nothing about FTTA listed in the WRECKage show calender when WRECKage is pretty much all over this site. So who you kidding? Anyone even list to WRECKage anymore?

Actually the show was listed in the events calendar...I know because I listed it myself.

My comments weren't anti-FTTA, in fact I made several comments about wanting to check out the bands. What they did criticize was your promoting style and you calling Atlanta "apathetic" and making comments such as "Atlanta isn't even worth defending." I also did a fair bit of promotion on the show.

But you're right, I don't think anybody listens to WREKage at all since we didn't have a single person call in when we were giving away free tickets to your show.

haha, Yeah I tuned into wreckage for the first time last week and Brian was talking about the fest and the bands he was excited to see. Oh and DIY ain't fucking dead. (Regarding the earlier comment about shows getting sponsored by fucking hot topic and coca-cola....)

Dude I'm on Jake's ass cause he fucked up plain and simple. Aside from Brian who let's face it is a dumb shit anyway and just needs to stick to playing shitty metal on wreckbutt Jake is the only person I got beef with.
as far as "the rest of Atlanta" I ain't got that much time to waste.

And Ryan I don't need to be defended. I doubt in the 10 plus years I've promoted shows in Atlanta 89-91, 01-04, 09-10 you will find more than 5 bands whom truly had reason to complain about my promoting. Especially when the same bands that aren't drawing here are not drawing elsewhere. For instance Black September played in front of about 35 people Friday and Saturday in Nashville they played in front of 8.

If I have one bad fault it's actually giving bands guarantees in some cases when I probably shouldn't. For the most part I don't do guarantees I do door splits. Thing most bands don't get is I promote shows I DO NOT PROMOTE BANDS. There's a difference. BANDS HAVE TO STILL PROMOTE THEMSELVES. For instance American Cheeseburger didn't even bother to list they were coming on whatever web presence they had. And it showed when only the other bands and FTTA staff watched them play. At the very least you have to especially in a fest confirm that you're coming. So whose more to blame for a crappy turnout the promoter who took the chance to promote an unknown band or the band who didn't take the time or effort to make themselves known? That would be my second fault booking a lot of bands that people simply don't know who the blimp they are.

[SlashAndThrash]

Floyd you are a fucking joke. now say something about fucking my mom. go and fuck yourself you trashy stupid worthless fuck face, atlanta doesn't need you, no one needs you.

[Azrael]

Floyd, I did'nt break any art. Watch the video. I have been trying to take the high road, and be mature. In the end you challenged my honor so for this I say fuck you. You lied about the art, so you are dishonored there fore whatever you say about me is non existant in my mind. I do not condone senseless violence, it causes only problems. With that said, I'm no coward, I will defend myself against accusations or anything else, believe that.

[Doomed Youth]

Hey, don't blame Floyd. He can't even control what comes out of his mouth.

i barely control what comes out of my mouth .

By the way, Phobia messaged us. Phobia, Wormrot and Maruta would like to have played the house show, which had more than fifty people. Unfortunately they sent the message last Saturday while we were out.
