I consider myself an optimist, so it saddens me to make this post. I hope I will be proven wrong.
I have always been a bit annoyed when people get angry at the R+ members because of shit that happens regarding management. I've always tried to separate management from the band. And I've never been one of those that feels that they owe me something. They are what they are, and I love them no matter what. I don't feel like I am more "entitled" to anything just because I belong to the FA. I don't think that paying to join there makes me any more or less a fan. I only joined this past year in the hopes of having some inside info. Or maybe a perk or two. There was no reason for me to join in the past - I don't order from the store because the prices are beyond outrageous, and from everything I've heard about the forum it is not the most fun place to be. I thought my "perk" came in the form of a reserved ticket to a Berlin show. Maybe I was wrong.
Right now I'm so fed up with it all. There are so many people saying that their supposedly "reserved" tickets are no longer being honored. And this whole big fuck-up has gone beyond amusing to being downright disgusting. I NEVER thought I would say something like this, but I have completely lost any and all excitement that I had for these shows. At this point I am even pissed off at the band members.... they are the ones who choose their "management" team, and if they don't give a shit about what's going on than I guess I don't either. Fuck them! For all the people who say "ooooh, the guys don't know.... they don't have anything to do with it....." I say BULLSHIT! If they don't know then they are either a) stupid, or b) disinterested. Either way, this whole thing has totally tainted the whole experience for me.
Apparently they think we are all a bunch of 16 year-olds who have time to just sit around refreshing our screens every 2 minutes in the hopes of getting in to their stupid ticket shop. And yes, I am one of the stupid people who did so today (although I am a looooong way from 16 years old LOL!).
I swear, I never thought I'd feel this way. I do not want to be one of the supposed "fans" who bitch endlessly about them and their management. I have never understood why fans would waste their time bitching about a band they claim to love. That's not what this post is about. I'm just really, really disappointed about this whole stupid thing.
I sort of liked Emu after seeing him in VBall. I thought maybe he was just a misunderstood guy who actually really cared for the band members and tried to do the best by them. HAHAHAHA! Right now, if I had a dick I'd tell him to suck it. (quote shamelessly stolen from Betty White)
I want my Rammstein. I LIKE my Rammstein. Why does it have to become a big fucking ordeal? I just want to have some fun.
I love those guys, and I hope and pray that that will never change.
On a side note: we have had major ant problems because of the warm weather and it's pissing me off so much!!!!!!!!!! *shudders*
And just so I don't totally lose my sense of humor when it comes to R+:
"Be young, have fun,
taste Richard's ass...."
rammstein,
