QN5 Music

You made the title too wordy, I never see titles that long on the front page ;(.

Still dugg up/upvoted.

EDIT: Tone, have you tried an Executive E-mail Carpet Bomb? I’m sure Don Pitts isn’t at the top of the ladder.

I’ve seen titles much longer on the front page.

It was #1 in the business sub-reddit and in the top 40’s of the whole site. Not too bad - if you could help spread the word I’m sure we could bump it a bit higher, too.

Hrm, I misspoke. What I really meant was that the title doesn’t flow very well. It’s not a big deal though, lol.

I’ll do my best to spread the word but out of the people know, not many people actually have accounts on Reddit ;(.

Also, good work with putting this all together .

Well, I decided to spread the word in Gibson’s backyard. Why fuck around with ONLY the internet? Then I decided to send it to the entertainment capital (yeah, I know that one’s a long shot, but heh, why not?)

So I sent a news tip to the Nashville’s local newspaper, The Tennessean, and to the L.A. Times.

We’ll see if anyone bites.

(Fyi, I sent you a copy Tone, of what I sent and gave them your press e-m address for f/u.)

Just sent it to Jon Pareles who’s the music critic @ NY Times who had written a good review of Tone during Lollapallooza. (I know, another long-shot… ) Then I sent it to the A.P.

Now I’m going to sleep!

Damn, nice work IronGrrl

For those of you interested in increasing exposure in the digital domain, reddit is extremely easy to register for…you don’t even need to wait for an email confirmation or anything like that. So @ the very least upvote on that site.

Also this topic happens to span a lot of areas of interest…QN5, hip-hop, guitars/Lollapalooza/Gibson, business integrity…basically, if you know ANYONE that might be interested in those things, tell ‘em. If you know me on Facebook there’s a template waiting for you…

Edit: I just shot an email over to illseed @ AHH.com’s rumor department, I figure 10Gs makes for a good story, regardless of the column. We’ll see if it shows up.

yeaaaa solidarity!

It’s on the front page of the consumerist right now.

http://consumerist.com/348960/gibson-screws-musician-out-of-10000-worth-of-equipment

It has almost 2000 views in a hour.

I love it. Some guy e-mailed Fender about this!

So I’m pretty sure this is getting to be a big topic lol. over 22,000 views on consumerist.com and almost 1000 diggs on that particular article. I think the server here went down from the influx of people coming over here.

“I can understand why they would be a little irked.”

There’s a HUGE difference between irked but still honoring the prize AND irked and completely fucking over the person who won the prize fair and square. This dude sounds like another one of those “rappers aren’t real musicians” idiots.

“Obviously, they donated the prize in the hopes of getting some publicity from the person who won, and not expecting that the person would be just planning on selling the prize on eBay.”

It was already brought up in the discussion at Consumerist.com, but wouldn’t Gibson have been better off paying Tone the (measly for them) $10,000 rather than not paying him because he won’t be shredding one of their products at his next concert and gaining tons of negative publicity? Or maybe they didn’t know that the QN5 street team can not only “rig” UGHH album of the year polls but take down huge companies as well.

Domingo… time to buy some more Sharpies, rubber bands and paper plates.

gibson is gonna wish they never did this.

I just made a new topic over at the gibson board and decided to screen print it just in case they decide to ignore it, that way I have proof that they don’t give a shit about any of this.

Here is the screenprint:

ok. so CustomerService just told me this:
“Thanks for the post. Gibson is aware of the issue and is making attempts to contact him.”

You can be a Gibson body popper, too.
