today I went to this music store in the city called The Missing Link, it has mostly underground stuff but what bothered me was that they had all these other mainstream bands there like Blink182 (ugh),Green Day (double ugh),AFI (their OK), The Used (triple ugh) and stuff like that but they didn't have The Offspring, like they also had T-shirts and hoodies and stuff there but nothing of The Offspring, no CD's, no t-shirts, nothing. I was just a big dissapointed, i was hoping to get a t-shirt. Anyone else from Australia been to this chain of music stores?

yeah but this was an alternative music store with underground bands and all this stuff that I hadn't heard of, and they had Green day's American Idiot there, I mean how more mainstream can you get? like I dunno if you've heard of these stores mate but yeah it's pretty much just underground bands, like it's rare to see mainstream stuff there, I was just a bit pissed off that they didn't have any CD's or merchandise for them, eh, fuck it everything was too bloody expensive anyway

Wow. You really jump to conclusions quickly. Just because they have no Offspring merchandise doesn't mean they hate them.

A lot of times independant stores will sell CD's by the bigger, mainstream bands in alternative rock to draw people in so they can make more of a profit, instead of alienating people who don't exclusivly listen to underground music. (Those people are stupid and narrow-minded anyway). The Offspring isn't really a big seller on either sides, so they probably didn't want to waste money stocking their merchandise.

Its as simple as this, they may me an underground store, but the fact is they need to make money (hence all the mainstream bands) there could be hundreds of reasons why they had no Offspring merch, why bother speculating?
Can anyone say stupid thread?

Go back when The Offspring release their new album. Then They'll have it and some of the earlier ones. The Offspring haven't been popular for a while, but a new studio album will get stores keeping their stuff in stock.

Does it really matter if some people dont like a band in a music store? Offspring hasnt been getting much buzz lately..so dont whine about nothing.

Did you actually try asking them if they can order anything in, or did you just flip out they didn't have anything on the shelves? Did it ever occur to you that they may have sold out?

none of you people seem to understand that this was a ALTERNATIVE MUSIC STORE! IT WAS MOSTLY UNDERGROUND BANDS THAT I HADN'T HEARD OF AND I'M PRETTY FUCKING SURE THAT THEY HADN'T SOLD OUT OF THE STUFF. I was pretty intimidated in that store so I was too nervous to talk to the guys who worked there, also Johnny Nemisis, fuck you man, what have you got against me eh? I may be immature and ignorant but I'm not retarded, remember I am still a kid so I have a right to be immature and stupid at sometimes, and people who actually know me and are friends with me would know that I am actually a very intelligent person, I got the highest score on my year 5 Aim test and I was the second youngest person in my class, and I also have lots of other good qualities, like I am a very artistic person and I got chosen to be in the year 7 orintation video last year because of my painting, so before you go and call me stupid remember that you know absolutely nothing about me, if you ask my best friends you'll know that I'm a very funny,intresting and smart person, so if you still choose to make fun of me that's your own problem

That's what they are employed there for you little dolt. If you have a query, ask, they won't bite, and if they do, they wouldn't be working there for very long. Why don't you stick to Sanity for your musical needs, at least they can't scare you too badly.
As for the questions I asked, I was actually asking them from curiousty, not to make fun of you.

I wasn't scared of them, just they looked busy and I didn't want to interupt what they were doing, and Sanity sucks, JB Hi-Fi is the way to go, also I already have all The Offspring's albums and I wanted a t-shirt, but they didn't have them, then I looked and saw they didn't have any CD's either, I was just a bit confused that they didn't have anything by them. also to who ever wanted some of my friends e-mails, well I hope they don't kill me but here it goes, bree_style@hotmail.com, that's my best friend Sabrina, but she's in Queensland for now so she wont be online and fli-fli@hotmail.com, that's Francis, he's a really nice guy
OK bye bye everyone, sorry if I sounded pissed before I haven't been in a good mood

You know, it is in their job description to aid customers. That means that they drop what they are doing to do it after you have amde your purchase or asked your question. And try ebay.

If you have to make a huge post about how funny and smart you are, than you're just disproving your point. Let people find out how funny and smart you are through your actions, not by you telling them.
And from the looks of things, this is turning into the next 'Noodles is gay' board. You keep changing your opinion every five seconds. Do you really think the band cares that they are not being sold in every single record store in the world? NO! So just get the fuck over it, and stop before you make yourself into even more of an idiot than you did with the 'Noodles is gay' board!
