Primus
14 years ago
Quick background. So this company called Zoltron does a lot of the printing work for the group Primus. I hope you already know who they are but if you don't:
http://www.primusville.com
Primus was the very first rock band I was ever introduced as a kid and how I discovered them was pretty damn random I might. I saw a kid on my public school bus wearing one of their band tees. I didn't know who it was at first but it intrigued me regardless to look into it. I come to come fid out the pic on the front of the tee is that of the cover of the "Miscellaneous Debris" album with the trademark Skeeter representing. The photo of the band on the back of the tee cast in a green tint also made me more curious. I swear Les was looking at me, hell he had freaking dreads in that photo ..just to give you a idea of how long ago this was.
Anyway Zoltron did a special poster for a recent Primus show that they had the entire band sign. This never happens! They said they would release details soon as to how they were gonna go about selling them. Unfortunately they decide to do a damn lottery system. Sucks. Well I took a shot in the dark and emailed them my thoughts. I don't know if it will help but it felt like one of those things I needed to do.
Here is the email.
I can't believe I'm typing this but I guess when a group such as Primus is involved you take the extra effort.
I was pretty damn excited to hear about the variants of the poster being signed by the whole band and eventually available to the public. What I wasn't happy about was it being turned into a lottery system. To me something like this comes along once in a blue moon and I been a devoted fan for many many years. Primus was pretty much my first rock band as a kid. I grew up in a very sheltered household where anything not of God was not allowed. My highly obsessed baptist parents found my Primus stash and burned it all. I had some old tees that you can't find on ebay no matter how hard you try. All my cd's were burned which just resulted in me buying more. It's true what they say, when someone tells you can't have something it just makes you want it that much more.
I never let them stop my passion for the music of Primus though even if it meant going against my parents way. Hell I can vividly remember the times I would lie to my parents about spending the night at a friends place only to use it as a way to get the "cool" parents to take us to a Primus show.
Now that you have some background on where my love is rooted from you should hopefully be able to understand where I'm coming from with this email. For all I know it could be late and the winners are already announced. I'm not sure what to think because I don't see a single soul gloating on your facebook that they won. So here's to hoping I'm right about my assumptions.
The point of all is exactly is it sucks that us fans are being left out on this one. It's very rare that Les and crew sign something like this. I have no reason to doubt we'll see this posted up on ebay at like $500 or more. I wish this would of been more of a contest than simple luck. Like a one paragraph answer for why you deserve to win, just something that singles out the ones who will treasure something like this versus those only it for the money.
Thank you if you read this far. I don't know if it will change anything but I had to say something.
Time will tell I guess.
