Hey guys, not sure whats going on here?..but if someone IS cheating the system, PLEASE STOP!..you're going to ruin our chances of actually playing COKEFEST!....

2008-04-14 10:01:51 ET

When a band doubles their votes in 20 minutes isn't that slightly suspicious? No one said YNIN don't have fans or don't deserve to play, they do, there's just some monkey who's found a way to jippo the system. They aren't the ONLY band that deserves a chance. Whatever, I'm over this blog...

Gav
2008-04-14 10:02:02 ET

Yeah, i know 'Dissapointed'. I happen to play for one of those bands and it blows. But hey, this isn't an official poll in any case. So if someone is in fact 'cheating' the system, they're wasting their time in any case.

2008-04-14 11:43:15 ET

Hello All

We have noticed a sudden spike in the votes from the nomination YOUR NAME IN NEON. We are investigating this and will be posting the results once we have confirmed the problem. When we find the problem and the culprit...and we will... we will REMOVE Your Name In Neon from the voting poll.

We do not tolerate cheating and find it disappointing that people would actualy be this malicious.

We apolgise to all bands who have had to put up with this.

Regards,
Mr K

2008-04-14 12:03:06 ET

who said it was one of the band members cheating? i'ts probably an over-obsessed fan of theirs. the voting should b restarted or something. yes... good idea.

Rick (Your Name In Neon)
2008-04-14 12:33:36 ET

Wow, I found out about this competition yesterday night, and now I find out we got disqualified for something i knew nothing about :(

Nicely done whoever did that :(

Well I wish other bands best of luck, i personally would never resort to cheating and believe in morals. And will continue to allow the music my band creates and the passion we have during our live set to be our only merit.

I think all the local bands should jump on a plane, fly to the states and play My Pepsi Fest....sorted muhahaha

*this comment was written in a commical fashion and in no way implies that any local bands should jump on a plane in any negotive connotational way! the author of the comment loves all people and bands!....except FAILING FORWARD,...cos they grease monkeys....

*that last comment about failing forward was also commical, the author has close friendships with the members

Rick (Your Name In Neon)
2008-04-14 13:02:47 ET

Nic I just clicked on your link to see your guys music vid....wow i just pooed myself...that vid is so so so cool...and already liked the song from the Hammer The Masses compilation.

Rick (YNIN) - we rooting for you guys now since we got disqualified and all(*Mumbles) ha ha ha :)

Dan (Your Name In Neon)
2008-04-14 13:36:19 ET

Hi there, how can a band be removed due to the action of others? That's not really fair on the band is it? If that is indeed the case then best of luck to the rest of you, there are plenty of good bands on this poll, but perhaps there should be some anti-spam voting mechanism installed if cheating is ensuing. ps. no beef =) I personally dig both New Altum and Failing Forward, not to mention many of the bands on this poll like Crashcarburn, The Dead Will Tell, Knave, aKing, etc ...in fact most of the ones I've heard of haha. cheers, and thank you to those of you who voted for your name in neon

-Dan (YNIN)

Anon
2008-04-14 13:36:21 ET

I don't think that Your Name In Neon should be taken off the list, I highly doubt that they would spike there own votes, I don't think anyone from a band would be that desperate. I think they should just be taken down to a 0 votes, and allow them to retry, otherwise the competition is unfair.

Anon
2008-04-14 13:45:13 ET

At the end of the day ... these organisers are not going to pick the band with 648 000 million votes ... they'll look at the votes, compare them to their facebook and myspace pages ... probably go see them live and then make an informed decision ... this is just to get an indication for the bands who market etc ...
Anywho ... Go torment and Chromium!!! Nice steady climbing :)

Dear RYAN COETZEE

The rumours you heard were exactly that...rumours. Someone decided to April Fool some people and claimed that Cokefest is canceled. This is in fact incorrect. Cokefest is very much alive. I have spoken directly with the Local Music Director of Big Concerts and they will in no way cancel an event as profitable as Cokefest simply because of the noise. A different day or venue may be used for the festival. But it will be here in 2009. I hope you're saving up money to buy your ticket early because I have a feeling that as soon as the bands are listed and dates confirmed the tickets will indeed fly out.

Here's a tip...when in April...read the news...listen to facts and try not to make assumptions. Monkey see...monkey do..we're not monkeys now are we people?

Cokefest will go ahead...whether you're old or young...if you cant beat us...join us!

2008-04-16 12:56:48 ET

u have to add enmity to the polls guys, them and your name in neon r such awsum bands.... (HINT HINT)
aweee naaiers
id rather c them on that stage than any band thats ever played at cokefest b4

Agro was born in 1994 The band. Within the first two months of forming the band they had their first live appearance, February 1994 in Yeoville, Johannesburg, SA. After playing their local club and festival scene, Agro went into studio to record their first album; “From Within”. It was released in 1995. The Song “Lean on Me” reached No. 7 on the International Rock Charts on a popular National Radio Station. Their second album “Eyes” was released in April of 1997. It was a highly anticipated release and the CD Launch was a huge success, at Club Icon in Johannesburg, SA. The band went on to tour the album nationwide. It also got extensive radio play on National and Regional radio stations.
After the tragic loss of David Kietzmann, the band eventually got to work on new material, and went back into studio to record the third album “The Tree”.
The album was launched in Johannesburg in November of 1999. Fresh off the South African national tour for “The Tree”, the band had an opportunity to tour Germany in August of 2000. The highlight of this German Tour was the honour of playing alongside some of the biggest names in Heavy Metal worldwide at the Wacken Open Air Festival outside Hamburg, where 50 000 heavy metal enthusiasts from all over the world gather to watch this awesome annual event.
Their album in 2003, “Forthcoming” proved to be Agro’s true coming of age album, where they stood up to be counted as seasoned musicians in the underground scene of their genre. The album drew attention from Japan, to Australia, Argentina and the United States.
The band felt they owed it to the fans to come up with something a little special, enter the unofficial fifth album “Gouda than Hell”. Although this album is all in the name of fun, a tongue-in-cheek celebration of music and ten years of Agro enjoyment. A culmination of songs that were performed live exclusively and some select cover songs that have been Agro-ized and put together to form a brilliant, yet fun album to celebrate 10 years of brotherhood in steel. Released in 2004 , the album was not toured, as it was an unofficial album released solely for the enjoyment of the fans.
Their sixth album, “Ritual 6”, promised to be a creative and rock solid release, that won’t let the hardened fans or any new Agro recruits down. In early 2006 Agro joined the Armageddon Records fold, based in Doerpstedt, Germany. The recorded tracks were mastered in Stage One Studios in Hamburg, under the skilled hand of Michael Hankel (Holy Moses). The album “Ritual 6” was released on Friday, 13 October 2006, alongside Armageddon favourites Tourettes and Reckless Tide. A European tour is on the cards shortly after the album release.
Agro signed a full sponsorship with Dean Guitars.
Another tragic loss happened in the Agro Family. Manager Alan Pennicott who had been with Agro from the beginning passed away suddenly 3rd November 2007. This has moved Shane (son of Alan) into writing the music for Agro’s 7th C.D. It promises to be music from the heart.

PLEASE NOTE...

THE METANOYA ROCKONFUSION 25% (1537 votes) have been penalised.

We have deleted The Metanoya Rockonfusion from the voting poll as we have spotted strange changes and behaviour in the coding and can confirm that a anonymous fan of The Metanoya Rockonfusion has tampered with the voting poll system and has caused their band to be penalised.

This is indeed frowned upon and because of the extent of the damage to the harmony and to votes made on the poll we will NOT be allowing The Metanoya Rockonfusion back onto the poll until we have been satisfied with a decent explanation of how their votes went from 0 to 1537 in the span of 24 hours.

If The Metanoya Rockonfusion want to appeal they can do so by explaining themselves in their designated discussion area of the Facebook group Cokefest 2009: Bring These SA Bands.

To the rest of the voters, bands and their fans.

Please note that we are trying to HELP SA Bands here and if you mess about or damage the system in any way you are damaging EVERYONE'S chances of being noticed. If you are reading this and are guilty of abusing the voting poll system you should feel ashamed and are responsible for bands looking bad.

If bands and fans notice anything peculiar on the voting poll please report it here. Feel free to drop the creator of the FACEBOOK group Cokfest 2009: Bring These SA Bands a message explaining what happened.

Regards,
Mr K

Hi Mr. K
I am from The Metanoya Rockonfusion and I am posting an appeal in the Facebook group as we speak. This does not come from our side and was not condoned by us at all and in any way.

We pride ourselves in doing things with integrity and, although we do have a lot of fans, we will not question your system's ability to detect foul play. Is there any way you can trace any double votes or whatever it was that caused this mishap?

Dear Marius

If you read up and until the end of my post you would realise that we have given the band members of The Metanoya Rockonfusion a chance to state their case in the facebook group. I have also directly communicated with their leading band member and we have come to an agreement and an investigation is pending. For votes to go from 0 to 1500 in 24 hours is rather suspicious and the act of tampering with the system is indeed malicious.

Please be reminded that all the polls and blog have been set up on a Pro-Bono basis and that people and myself working on this blog do not get paid or sponsored at all thus our funds for hiring specialists to investigate and and pin point the perpetrator identity and location is currently not possible. All we can do is spot the differences in coding on our site.

We also really hope that the people the vote are HONEST and RESPECT THEIR BANDS.

At the end of the day it's the band's that get affected..not a company.

Thus it would be in the interest of the bands to make sure their fans play fair.

These polls are basically a facility set up for the bands. If fans wish to uphold the integrity of they must please help out and play whistle-blower if they spot anything out of the ordinary.

We are here to HELP OUT THE BANDS and get their names out their for companies such as Big concerts and Record companies to see and take notes.

I hope this has answered your query.

Kind Regards,
Mr K

Marius
2008-04-17 09:58:17 ET

Hi Mr K,

I am a specialist and see that your website is written in asp.net. I know precicely how to fix your site, but at a fee... :)

Mr K
2008-04-17 10:11:57 ET

Ah ...a fee.

We work Pro-Bono Marius. I'm quite sure you know what that means. We have no funds and only work with what we have and are offered. The only way we may be able to pay for a service is by offering advertising space for a certain length of time.

Thus it would be up to you to decide if you want to help out or not. Although since this site is being viewed by so many people I am quite sure we will ome across a gracious soul who has no intentions of making money off a pro-bono project would like to help out.

Thank you though for your offer, Marius.

Bono is a singer for U2!!!!.... DUH!!!!.....Not the load of rubbish you just explained.....He is called Pro-Bono ow cause he does allot of charity stuff and stuff.... Guess you didnt know that the first time you read that word.....

2008-04-17 10:39:48 ET

Mr K
2008-04-17 10:47:10 ET

LOL...my friend...Pro Bono is a latin word.

For all we know Bono from U2's mommy named him that because she knew her son was going to do all the charity you've mentioned.

Maybe you should have a look at the exact meaning of the word...

Go to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_bono

But thank you for your suggestion. We will see if your solution works. Pity we dont know who you really are as we could have written you a formal letter to thank you.

If you ever want to further communicate, leave your e-mail and I will conact you.

gys dont vote agro because litrually 20 out of 45 000 will enjoy them the rest of us will be laughing at ther long hair and stupidly aggresive poture, the bands that should play should be bands that make a differnce in the music MK89 is a good way to moniter who is up and coming yes it is commercial but so is Coke Fest..... it aint called metal fest..... sorry long haired viking people.
Bands who have GOOD and SUCCESFUL music videos and radio play shoiuld be considered as well as ones ratings on the poles, such as this.
but i am saying it once again Chromium , agro , all those metal bands reside from the same scene of music meaning they have the same 50 people going to ther shows and those will be the same people who enjoy them at cokefest, please consider bands who are really talented and authentic as well as different, and NEW. Prime Circle is not new

That be a shame for YNIN they a good band and it probably is not there fault for cheating!!! But yah Iberah, they are amazing saw them at black dahlia, crazy stage show, and in the way of metal "the dead will tell" also very good. Fuzigish are being overlooked they are a top SA band

how can any of you vote for crappy lil bands like your name in neon?? and crash car burn??? screw em!! vote for warthane, sacrifist and deity's muse!!! these lil gay rock bands who have it all need to give a chance to the metal bands who struggle for big events like coke fest!! they also deserve there chance!!! and why not get bands like IN FLAMES or AT THE GATES or ARCUTURUS to play at coke fest!!! not these gay bands like evanecense and Korn!! really!!! we need more metal bands at gigs like these coz thats where the real talent is!!! screw failing forward and all the gay bands out there who are nothing but commercial posers!!!!

Jonathan
2008-07-25 07:17:19 ET

ARCTURUS, IN FLAMES , AT THE GATES , OLD MANS CHILD, HEAVENS ABLAZE, NECROPHAGIST, 1349, EMPORER, THE HAUNTED, AGRO, ARCHITECTURE OF AGGRESSION(SA), DISSECTION, IMMORTAL, KREATOR, OBITUARY, do any of you gay rockers even know any of these bands??? why cant we have at least one of them at coke fest??? people went mad for korn!! now imagine some melodic death metal or black metal!!! you will see the true metal heads in force!!

cARIEN
2008-07-26 11:08:57 ET

hey? Why is 'STRAATLIGKINDERS' not there? I like them just as much as 'CRASH CAR BURN'.......

Mika
2008-07-26 17:07:09 ET

Jonathan... can you actually truthfully tell me in musical terminology what is so amazing about your local metal bands eg Erebus, warthane, Dean Crescant? These bands struggle because they are not serious musicians playing music that is good..... they sort of rip off other crap. I am not saying Crash car burn or Prime Circle are any better but dude.... remember this is a commercial show and the majority of people dont like "melodic emo metal black death core".

"lil gay rock bands who have it all need to give a chance to the metal bands who struggle for big events like coke fest!! they also deserve there chance!!! and why not get bands like IN FLAMES or AT THE GATES or ARCUTURUS to play at coke fest!!!"

How old are you Jonathan? 12? Anyone knows that bringing out bands like AT THE GATES or ARCUTURUS would never be economically viable. Not to mention that the Rock music demographic in this country is already so minute. Think before you made dumbass comments like the one above...And by the way, Metal isn't the only music genre out there...I happen to love Metal but can appreciate good Rock/Screamo/Jazz/Indie/Electro/Prog/D+B/ the like...

Dillan
2008-08-20 14:17:31 ET

Vincent let me Correct you.Jonathan must be 10 or 9.Not even a 12 year old could write such a stupid- dumbass comment!!Before you open your Big mouth think b4 you write.By your comment you know NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC and should stick to the FLUTE OR Letting your mom tuck you in at night jonathan!!Metal is cool and so is rock and all otha.I dont see you achieving what KORN or evanecense or even failing forward for that Fact...Go SA bands you doing well.Make us proud

2008-09-07 08:14:54 ET
