If You Could Open a Metal Store...

back to the store discussion...

i think my venue/shop would be all ages and not a bar. why? make it a hangout for kids. huge market and it will get kids into good music. revitalize the scene

totally. I recently started dreaming of opening a metal shop/venue here in town, and I would want it near the high school to encourage the kids to come and experience good music...obtain enlightenment

and then I can stand out front sweeping and shake my broom at them as they go zooming by on their skateboards.
"You damn punks!"
 
dont want one. cost is absurd. liscense, insurance... you get the idea

edit: TRIPLE NINJA'D!

If I cold open a metal store I would stock all the shitty metal up front because that's what sells. Then I would have nice little corners for all the good genres. This way I could attract people who like shitty music and then steer them to good stuff.
 
@ llama
thats teh primary reason for a store like that!

one of the cool things pit did, was have a board for musicians seeking musicians. another great idea

I'd have an ED-209 standing in the corner and someone would come in and be like, "Hey, I'm really angry and need some H.I.M.". ED would pop to life and say, "H.I.M. is gay. You are in voilation by wearing a bullet belt with black Converse sneakers. Remove them. You have 30 seconds to comply." and I could slowly look up from reading one of my Danzig Satanica comics and cooly say, "I suggest you do as he says..."

Yeah, that's the stuff. Oh yeah, I'd have posters and shit too.
 
I would somehow use the store to screw hot chicks.

.

I'd sell new and used underground stuff. I'd have CD players sitting around so people could listen before buying (my local CD store has this, it's awesome), I'd have a huge bulletin board for local shit, and I'd have shirts and stuff in the back. Every surface would be covered in banners, posters, stickers, patches, etc. It would be fucking kvlt. There would be everything from intense underground death and black metal to the latest Dream Evil and Angra albums. There would be a guillotine in the center. It would look fake and have fake blood on it. But anyone who asked if we had any BfmV, MCR, Trivium, or Children of Bodom would discover that it was very real.
