John "JT" Toomey Appreciation Thread

[strangegrey]

I told this story here before. That fucktard Jt tried to steal tickets from me. I had been working on the bands website for quite a while when they pulled into town on the arrival tour. I was promised 4 tickets in partial compensation for the work I had completed up until that point(which was pennies compared to the amount and cost of the web work I had done for the band up until that point). The day of the show, I arrive at the venue. I hadn't yet been to willcall yet. However, the other 3 in my party had already gotten in their respective cars to meet me at the venue. My wife had been driving from jersey (it took her 2.5 hours to get there due to traffic) and 2 friends were driving down from upstate and were travelling similar distances.

45 minutes before the doors open, I get a call from skylorde who tells me Jt has taken my tickets and put them in an envelope for someone else. I flipped out...given the fact that people were *already* on the way and had been in car over an hour each, including my wife. Sky had to literally dangle the website and threaten to take it down, before JT backed off.

The guy is an ethically challenged fucker. I understand the job calls for being an asshole sometimes...but there's a way to do it without trying to fuck people over and being a complete douchebag.

Sorry, I wouldn't piss on JT if he were on fire. Just my $0.02 ...perhaps others have had good experiences with him...but I personally feel he's one of the reasons why journey has burned some bridges out on the road...As a band, when you've got a complete cocksucker representing you to the external business public, you need to make sure he represents you ethically...and JT is not that.

He's a hardworking man, who's long overdue for some appreciation. Any stories would be appreciated.

Stop taking the piss.
