I wasn't much looking forward to the support Bands but when VOODOO 6 came on I was so relieved to see quality in front of me. I felt like I was seeing this unknown Band before they took over the World,might sound strange but I just got that feeling. I'm into singers & the front guy has a great voice and a great aura.

So therefore I don't have a problem with it.It's a **** thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053355188293146177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-26494183554352950092011-04-21T15:02:02.255+01:002011-04-21T15:02:02.255+01:00I've never had a problem with people not likin...I've never had a problem with people not liking the band, personally I find The Ramones over-rated and think the Black Crowes should be playing stadiums, but I know I'm a minority with those views.<br />And there's a lot more people that hate U2 than like them...<br /><br />Anyway, I'm gonna go get a life until someone posts something else worth replying to.<br />The zoo was indeed very nice!Voodoo Sixhttp://www.voodoosix.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-73133381675985061172011-04-21T15:01:27.910+01:002011-04-21T15:01:27.910+01:00and it goes on.

I bought Fluke last week and love it. <br />I went to see Mike Monroe just to see Voodoo Six play and they were great. Better than Mike Monroe.<br />Is anyone going to have a go at me because I thought Mike Monroe was rubbish?<br />If not. Then why not.<br />Its my opinion and I think Im allowed to have it. I would have the same if I had seen one song even though I stayed for them all. <br />When asked by friends what I thought of the show I tell them and no one has given me a hard time over it.<br />This is all juvenile stuff. One guy has the balls to say what he wants and everyone jumps on it because its not what they want to hear.<br />Grow up.<br />The album sounds different to me now and the memory of a great show has been tarnished.<br />Not because of a bad review, but because of the immature fans that the band seem to attract.<br /><br />TanyaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-30018048997368816332011-04-21T14:59:34.318+01:002011-04-21T14:59:34.318+01:00GET A ROOM U 2!!!

To be honest that was enough but I thought in the interest of being fair I'd give them another go. I was right the first time! It's not like they're bad or anything it's just that they're not that good in my opinion. The reasons? Hackneyed, samey, HM posturing and nothing to raise them above any of the countless other metal bands out there.'<br /><br />http://www.safeconcerts.com/reviews/michael-monroe/the-garage-glasgow/april-2011.asp<br /><br />Ooops. Even with seeing the full set in the Garage and seeing them once before, someone else has managed to come to the same opinion (Opinion. Remember that word.).<br />I wonder if he should have maybe bought all the albums and went to a few more shows before offering a critique. <br />I mean who can tell if a band is any good based on just two gigs.It's a **** thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053355188293146177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-89372947535334609392011-04-20T14:50:48.854+01:002011-04-20T14:50:48.854+01:00Sorry.

Are there any others on their page with that much traffic?<br />(There's that one song issue be raised again to. Maybe I am the only person on the planet that can have an opinion on something without immersing myself in everything connected to it.)<br />Now if a review like that had destroyed a young band then I would consider they are in the wrong game. On a monthly basis I see people getting onto stages and playing to a handful of people. Slogging their guts out to entertain and it must be one of the toughest jobs going. A job that most would agree needs a thick skin and a sense of self belief to be able to do.<br />If they don't ahve either then theer dream is going to be a short lived one.<br />I'll take your advice on spellchecking on board. In fact I just did it for this review.<br />Apart from the spellcheck not recognizing 'Spandex' everything else seems to be in order.<br />There's the names of people and shortened names for songs like nothin' that gets a mention to, but apart from that it appears fine.<br />If you want to look for spelling mistakes then you will find plenty in the off the cuff remarks I make in reply to people.<br />I think if I can handle the hate mail I can carry the burden of being criticised for my spelling.It's a **** thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053355188293146177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-40242640139504583652011-04-20T14:23:09.877+01:002011-04-20T14:23:09.877+01:00Exactly, you have got far too much attention for s...Exactly, you have got far too much attention for slagging off a band you didn't even see one full song of. This is how writers of the past behaved as it gets them instant notoriety. Easier to do it that way than write a reasoned, well written review. It's lucky that V6 seem to have a loyal following, if you had given that type of review to a young band it could destroy them - even if you are just a blogger.<br />I have only seen V6 once and really enjoyed their set. I can't say I'm a massive fan, so I'm not being defensive of them.<br />Maybe you should think of spell checking your reviews in the future too, after all if you give criticism you should be able to take it!<br />Bob BoulderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-43881245674906164852011-04-20T12:58:07.207+01:002011-04-20T12:58:07.207+01:00I hope that 'mint ice cream' isn't a e...I hope that 'mint ice cream' isn't a euphanism.<br />I think I'm going to have to make more less than complimentary comments about heavy metal/rock bands.<br />The hits have went through the roof.
