Im going to start my own music venue (for metalheads like me!)? -

Well, ill have it perfectly laid out so there will be a perfect place(s) for mosh/circle pits, and of course crowd surfing will be permitted. I wanted to make a venue where concert-goers could do pretty much anything without going too extreme. The only problem is I dont know how to get the money to start one, I dont know how to get bands to play there, and how do you think i should set up a mosh pit place?

where?i want to come!umm... getting the money would be hard... cos of investment being quite low etc... umm... loans and stuff are an option, but if u fail, u ll be in debt big time!i assume u ve thought of all that though.to get bands to play there u ll need to just surf through myspace pages etc finding metal bands within a certain distance of ur venue and then contact them and see from there. i m sure loads of young up and coming bands will oblige!to open ur venue u ll need to raise awareness through an advertising campaign... use a lot of word of mouth and post it on facebook and myspace etc as a group/event whatever!the one problem is that u ll need a way to stop all these crazy metalheads getting out of hand! i suggest more than one room, obvious i suppose.but u ll need rooms for everything... bands, equipment, coats (haha!), drinks... etc etcumm... or why not have this venue outdoors, like with a stage etc, so its like a gig every night (infact, thats a pretty cool slogan!) have a sheltered part too. i find lock-up tents are pretty hectic when the metal is pumping! have different themed nights etc (thats all obvious stuff...)free water (everywhere), sell alcohol (obviously) and consider any legal highs u can!setting up a mosh pit place... umm... there ll be some legal thing with that for sure... like, dont encourage it cos its dangerous and all that bullshit... so u could either let it happen, or just have raised platforms around the edges of ur venue so the moshing can go on down between them, like an actual pit! but just like the standing section really! but people will want to get down there to get close to the bands and stuff!dont have seats on all of ur raised bits, just a few on some more remote ones, for the chill and rest and DRINK! haha!and if u can get a venue going that can do all that stuff and still play METAL a lot, u will get some serious interest! but i d consider opening up to other types of music, seriously, cos otherwise u wont get loads of business! so theme nights, like metal, drum and bass, dance, whatever and standard club nights etc... but keep it hectic! no soft, chilled music! u want ur place to be known for its hardcore atmosphere, its non-stop sweat party, etc. definately get the hoses and foam etc...u ll basically just need to come up with a very good pitch and business sceme to put to investors and/or banks etc and really work out where and/or IF there is a good interest for this!i think it d be sick! and now i dont want to post this cos i like my ideas too much! but hey, i aint got no money either!

metal is a scourge to society...i dont wish people ill will like EVER, but i hope you fail in this...i know you will, thats all metal is, failing at life, making others fail, trying to be stronger but being fueled by negativity and then wondering why your life sucks...youre a joke...you know nothing about music, i killed myself to be the best shredder and i dont even like to play guitar anymore cuz metal almost ruined my life...youre a joke

You have to use all the tools life has given and investigate any way to get a loan or a small business loan. Work out a deal with your bank. Raise money. Whatever it takes. As far as getting bands to play you could ask around or look up your local metal bands. Those bands always know other bands through networking and trust me their always looking for a place to play. If you keep busy and make lots of friends you could make it happen. There are not enough heavy metal venues anyways! Good luck!

I don t know, there s many companies out there that could help you.But I know many people that would love a place like this! Very good of you to think of the idea.Gotta keep in touch with me and tell me how it all goes :P
