Lets face it, Neumos is for signed bands. You're lucky to get booked at Chop Suey the one night a week they feature rock, and if you aint on casseroles radar you aint never gettin a chance at the comet.

Sayonara KC. Don't let the doorman kick you in the back on the way out. Sounds unanimous to me.

Sayonara KC.

Don’t let the doorman kick you in the back on the way out.

The door man was a douche nozzle, the security were rarely overbearing to myself but I had seen them a little out of control at times. All in all I don't give a fuck about King Cobra going under because I can now just reserve my hate for the people I see on TV, I don't have to see them in real life.

Everyone is 'Tippy Toes' about saying it directly but that is the way it is. Just mentioned the closing of King Cobra to my girlfriend, her comment chastised, "Good... fucking pompous Fashionistas!" The Barmen were totally indifferent to customers and spent all their free time off by the staircase talking like Junky-Fresh Gossip Girls, the room looked like a corporate version of CBGB's. It smelled like ammonia and cheap whiskey. The doormen pissed everyone off... I have personally heard them actually turn away people by saying, " You might have a better time at the Comet". The only persons I ever saw doing their job in the place was the booker and sound guy who busted their asses! Classic Example of the KING COBRA: Two months ago at the last Sub Sonic happy hour, I stopped into the Cobra for a drink and call Chris Craig prior to meeting up with Kevin and Co, the filthy bartender was reading their newspaper at the end of the bar. I finally has to ask for a drink and they told me to wait til they were done reading. I was the only person in the bar! Throughout Seattle I have spoken with multitudes of people who have had enough with King Cobra's undeserved elitist attitude. It's not recent. A few months ago a close friend was visiting from Chicago to do some recording for an upcoming record and he given shit at the King cobras front door for wearing a 'Smiths' shirt. A 'Smiths' Shirt! He has sold out El Corazon on his last two Seattle Tour dates and he is rejected from the King Cobra for wearing a 'Smiths' T? He was pissed. A lot of People are pissed. Fuck you King cobra, you have done this to yourself. Like my girlfriend said, "Fucking Pompous Fashionistas!" I am not gonna candy coat it here, King Cobra Sucked.

When a club has asshole or overbearing staff, they do more to scare people away than just about anything. People want to feel safe in a club and be able to relax, but they do NOT want to feel (or be) oppressed. People go to clubs to get away from the bullshit of everyday life.. they are not looking for more bullshit from the staff of the venue. If said staff gives them bullshit, they are not only likely to avoid that venue, but are also likely to talk shit about it, thus influencing others to stay away too. A club that people avoid going to will fail. When will they ever learn? El Corazon, are you paying attention? I have to agree with the poster above me.
