It’s really frustrating to see people bashing All Time Low for things out of their control. Such as the canceling of the show tonight and the “Lack of Women on Tour with them”. Yes I understand they have a say in who they tour with and who is in their crew, but like Alex was fighting on twitter, The Female Lead bands they offered the tour to, had other tours already lined up, as well as the Women they would have hired for their crew were working with other bands. They need to have bands that they not only get along with, but also appeal to their audiences, so if the bands that fit that criteria are unavailable they find different bands. They aren’t going to fire the crew they have just to hire more women, if they position arises and the person is qualified for what they need, I know that ATL wouldn’t hesitate in hiring them. Alex was just making a statement that this was a very male heavy tour, he wasn’t bashing women.
And on the canceling of the show tonight; I have read way too many comments saying “I’d rather get heat stroke than miss the concert” or “Just move it to a different place or play it outside” or “You should at least do a meet and greet somewhere, do you know how many people drove out to see you?” This is out of the band’s control, they are focusing on the safety of not only their fans BUT ALSO THEMSELVES, they are also jumping around and under the hot stage lights. I have been to concerts where there is AC and have still seen people almost pass out, it’s not a joke. And it’s not that simple to just move their concert somewhere else, it would be another safety hazard for them to just decide that they were going to do the show outside, or just do a random meet and greet somewhere, cities can be strict with that kind of thing. I went to a show in MN a few years ago and the bands had to cut their sets short due to curfews, and they were playing in the venue at the time they were supposed to. The meet and greets they do are monitored for both the safety of the band and the fans, by having an impromptu meeting or show not only poses a threat to them but to everyone around.
I’m not saying this doesn’t suck, I understand how hard it is but they did state they would try to reschedule if they could. This is out of their control. Stop being so selfish and acting like the band owes you something because they had to cancel. This isn’t about you, this is about the safety of everyone involved.
