I've been wondering why is it that the Official VAMPS Myspace profile is not posting bulletins like crazy about the concert? Why aren't they promoting like the people here are? If the person in charge of the profile is the person you are talking about then why doesn't this person get an assistant? I'm just curious as to why they are not promoting this more.

I go to a lot of concerts here in NYC with bands that come from Europe and whenever they don't promote, they get a half full venue which is sad and bad for them. Last time I saw that was at the Sabath concert and I felt bad for them and angry with the so called fans for not showing up, but the band apparently had not promoted much. And this was a reunion of a band that's been around for ages.

I think VAMPS is lucky to have such loving fans, very lucky because otherwise they wouldn't sell any tickets at all with the kind of promotion they've been doing.

Sorry everyone, didn't mean to ramble. I'll stop now. If I offended anyone I apologize.

Spamming MySpace bulletin isn't also that effective.

1. All the bulletin will be received by Friends of VAMPS which probably, 75% of them are already going. No point.

2. Only J is running this MySpace page of VAMPS, atleast.. that's what it seems. Like you said, hire an assistant, but you have to understand, assistants aren't always helpful and especially this late in the game, it would be hard to fill that person in on everything about promotions. And besides, problems could involve things like money which they are probably on a tight budget.

It's really hard to promote a foreign band especially one that is as new as VAMPS. I applaud to those that are constantly calling those Radio Stations. I guess I will help put in a few calls this week.
