Hmm. . . Albequerque is "mediocre sized". Uhm. . . ok. whatever.

LOL! I found that amusing too.

i found i liked the statement "washed up" i guess,he means you guys are "cleaned" musicians and bathe regularly before each and every gig!! how nice!! your somewhat more mellowed but,still proud promotional manager yet bein a tad sarcastic! lol!

wait a stinkin minute,here! its probably what he wants..his own private Ultimatum concert in his living room!!! i will be in agreement though,we call on the big guns..in the case the big lead singer!! sic em scott! dont let up until he agrees to post!!

Doug Van Pelt responed to a few of the letters written on that blog about bad reviews including Roberts letter.

i think what bothers me is the fact that doug allowed this review to stand for as long as it did with no rebuttal.had he made this statement when the review first was posted it MIGHT have had a better result.again,i take mr.frazier to task.the fact he refers to Ultimatum as washed up musicans..17 yrs in the business proves this band is doing something right.and his comments about Albuquerque were very insulting.i mean,his review compares nothing.had he said that with "lex metalis" as a cover cd;was a poor attempt;when the bands orginal material was much better" would have been something we all could have lived with it.he compares the new cd to nothing we have previously released.thats not a good review or a bad review,just plain ridiculous! makes no sense! he doesnt even compare the band to anyone else in the business giving me the impression that he had no idea what/who he was reviewing.regardless,how doug defends his reviewer! i will stand behind this bands decsion in making this cd.in many ways their songs are much better than the orginals in that they claimed these songs and gave them the Ultimatum flare we all have come to expect from them! i am very proud of them and this cd! i for one cant wait to see Ultimatum perform these songs live!! ok..jumpin off my soapbox again!

yea,rob,you're right..h/e when i read ben's post..got me all ticked again!! so sorry!! go ahead take a swing! lol!

Plus I have been to several of your local shows. I will be going to more in the future too.

I know you know who I am. We also hung out at your store for a while once.

Oh Yeah Allen I remember that Show was great I thought Killswitch Killed everyone there too. Disturbed was ok they kinda got boring after a while.. Hope to see you Jan 15 2010 were playing at the Warehouse 508 on 1st and lomas it was the Old Ice House Strip club um not that I would know that LOL! But yeah its now an all ages venue for shows FYi..

Looking forward to it!!!

hey ultimaniacs,i just read HM's newletter!! almost fell over here! they have a trivia question.."from what southwestern town is the band Ultimatum from?" lol! answer to reply back and gets a copy of "Lex Metalis"!! rotfllmro! after the dudes bad review everyone that reads the mag should know of the hometown!! lol! thinking he(doug van pelt) is def trying to smooth things over! i had a great laff and then replied!! lol!

Or he wants them to reread the review.

good point,rob! i guess i was too busy laffin (like this ) anyway,happy happy 2010 everyone be safe!!
