HE IS ALSO THE HOTTEST.ALL OF HIS VIEOS SHOULD BE AT NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kyle Dunn, Fourmile, KY 01/12/03 artist: Audioslave Review: I think that this album should be heralded as the best damn album of the year, because Audislave are the best musicians in rock. They strive to make the most beautiful music that anyone has ever heard. Tom Morello is the most innovative guitarist since the late and great jimi hendrix (r.i.p.). F#$% MTV! VIDEO KILLED THE ROCK STAR!!! Manufactured music must be stopped! And bands like Audioslave, Tool, Deftones, 7dust, Stone Temple Pilots, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, will keep real music alive in the hearts of all true rock and roll fans.

David Blakey 01/10/03 artist: Bo Diddley "We Ain't Scared Of You" CD single Review: Rock legend Bo Diddley and the funk/soul band Munkeez Strikin' Matchiz have recently recorded and released a brand new, hard-hitting song titled "We Ain't Scared Of You". Written to capture the feelings of patriotism that Bo Diddley has felt from the audiences at his US concerts since the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, the song's lyrics throw out a stark and direct challenge to America's enemies. To listen to an audio sample of "We Ain't Scared Of You", to purchase the new CD single, to read the transcript of a no punches pulled interview with Bo Diddley on the occasion of the recent broadcast debut of the song, or to e-mail him directly with their comments about this new song, Bo Diddley's many fans around the world are currently being invited to visit his new "Bo Bo Diddley's Turnup Root" website at www.turnup-root.com A deservedly early inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, plaudits bestowed upon Bo Diddley in recent years have included Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Rhythm & Blues Foundation and from the Recording Academy, a Pioneer in Entertainment Award from the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters and in May of this year an inaugural Icon Award from the performing rights organization BMI. That award is inscribed with the following few simple words that succinctly validate Bo Diddley's contribution to popular music: "In recognition of your unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers" . In conjunction with his new website, Bo Diddley is also currently shaping up to release CDs of brand new recordings as well as a series of exciting limited edition collectors' CDs of previously unreleased archive material recorded in his various home studios during the past 40 years. Additionally, and in response to his fans' many requests at concerts for T-shirts, stickers and other official merchandise, in conjunction with the launch of his new website Bo Diddley is currently inviting visitors to view and purchase a range of exclusive, limited edition Bo Diddley authorised designs available from the new Bo Diddley's Online Store powered by CafePress.com.

I have been to many shows and have had the best times ever. I agree that that was one of the poorer shows I have been to but still great. String Cheese is about being a family, loving your friends, and the music that's around you. The music isn't even close to elevator music.It is possitive, uplifting music that you can dance your ass off to. They are bluegrass, rock, calypso, jazz etc... Check out their background sometime...pretty impressive. People just don't like what isn't "mainstream music" floyd and kooter, ripperside.ca 01/09/03 artist: deadboys Review: In memory of bob from gameface from fullerton his favorite band was the clash may joe and bob have peace house of blues december 22/02 1945. nancy, chicago 01/09/03 artist: jeff tweedy Review: excellent review. you were right on every account. it was a phenon show! melissa mendez, san marcos,tx 01/08/03 artist: static x Review: I luve this band!!! c. ross, paducah ky 01/08/03 artist: nora jones Review: We got a copy of the nora jones cd when it first came out.

COLLEEN, SAN JOSE, CA 01/07/03 artist: CKY Review: They're the best band I've ever heard or seen live. They are awesome guys, they just hang out with their fans at their shows, they don't act like they're better than them or anything. betom, round lake, il 01/06/03 artist: The Strokes Review: I believe The Strokes was probably the best at the show. I went to the show and it was fun. Billy Corgan is just like Michael Jordan, he was great with the first band. And now it isn't the same. I think Tenacious D got the wrong venue. "Second City" is about 45 min. away. They're supposed to be comedians, not musicians. But overall, The Strokes are the best. scott 01/06/03 artist: SOAD Review: i think you are dumb lonnie, chicago 01/06/03 artist: corey feldman Review: you guys were way to hard on the guy. he's not that bad. lighten up man and get the dick out of your ass! karen hoffmann, chicago, il 01/06/03 Review: great site! keep up the good work. we love you in chicago.

"Don't think you understand" what they r talking about. This rating was Garbage, and it seems like you are not a true fan of Music, let alone Politics... This band is incredibly intelligent, leaving shallow and feeble minds like yours to rot. You f*ccin suck, that's all there is to it.

Collin, New Orleans 12/30/02 artist: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Review: Regard all critics as useless Learn to separate art from artist Remove fingers from Cave's neck Don't dictate (Penetration) Read Nick Kent/Lester Bangs/something with a shred of talent, originality or insight Do not claim to be a fan of something you obviousy do not understand. Nothing is as ugly as a pop music tourist; all wide eyes and vulgar intrusion. Leave this sacred places to the angels. Two rather inept and monotonous "jams" do not a return to form/worthy follow-up to No More Shall We Part make. chris cox 12/30/02 artist: supergush venue: bridge street music hall, syracuse, ny december 22nd Review: finally a band with great lyrics, good melodies, and songs you can relate with. supergush put on a hell of a show and I enjoyed every minute! Blew My Mind Erin, Okotoks 12/30/02 artist: Deryck Whibley Review: I think Deryck is totally hot, so what he said about him being ugly is totally not true.

Anna Cerial Killer 12/27/02 artist: System of a Down Review: Posers, tendy fashion following posers, that is all ig ot to say, first of f*cking all, the new album, "Steal this album" is all their first songs before the "Hand Album" redone and put into sotres, its a bunch of old shit they had lieng around. So if u like there "new" sound u acctually like their old sound so straighten the f*ck up and get your shit straight, or kill yourself. WHORES jennifer, des plaines, il 12/27/02 artist: alanis Review: sweet review of alanis and the pix were out of sight 2. Sam, Chicago, IL 12/26/02 artist: Alanis Morissette Review: i went to the chicago theater to see her!! the concert was soo awesome. i loved the pix you put on the page, but i do have 1 minor rant. when you said the audience seemed slightly detached i was wondering if you were in the same theater that i was. I clearly saw everybody in that theater dancing and singing w/ her. so i was just wondering. thanx for featuring this awesome concert!!

Layla, madison, wi 12/23/02 artist: Terrapin Station Review: I enjoyed the review by Tony Bonyata on Terrapin Station's shows at Alpine Valley except when he referred to the Midwest "like they've never seen anything of any color before." Wisconsin is the birthplace of some very colorful people including Liberace, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Georgia O'Keeffe (just to mention a few). carson, chicago 12/22/02 Review: might mean rapper mate.

Lori, Canada 12/22/02 artist: Tom Petty Review: Could be the 'squeeking wheel' will pack a punch down the road. To me Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers can do no harm. At least they've spoken up and got it off their chest. Better that than ulsers!! Love the LastDJ, and your rave review for the later part of the concert. I think Jackson could be replaced by maybe Remy Shand who has a different style or The Calling, or Sloan, or White Stripes, David Usher, Dishwalla, Silverchair and........ Thanks for your review and pics.

I love his show, which just like Poison, includes all his hits and a few newer ones.. Any jack ass would know that it isn't the artist choosing alone that makes his desicion to play all the classic hits. But the demand from a majority of the fans attending his show.. Evedently, you don't perform for a living, or would survive doing so, being that you have no clue as to what a majority of fans expect at that specific artist's show. Face the fact that they all rock.. But realisticly times change and with it comes the unfortunet let down that some are just a flavor of the month.. But than again.. looky who still has a following, I mean 10,000 fans at one place to see you play the same old shit....lol How many followers show up to see you, and how many times a year does this accure?? LMAOSHICC.... Todd Michael "Acoustic Music Entertainer" connie, buffalo, ny 12/21/02 Review: cool site! ali, Ireland, Dublin 12/21/02 artist: sum41 Review: That was the best bit of info bout the guys.

Mike Richards, chicago 12/20/02 Review: i've just recently discovered your fabulous site. As a photogrpaher (I shoot some concerts, but mostly portraits) I feel your site has the best concert photgraphs anywhere on the web. That includes Rolling Stone and many others. Your photogrpahers have a penchant for capturing the peak moment and the soul of the artist through emotion, timing, juxtaposition, lighting and smart intuition Cheers to the great job you're all doing on concertlivewire. ??? 12/19/02 artist: Chris frantz Review: david byrne hates these people and yet they act all innocent and coy about it. izzy, naperville 12/19/02 artist: the vines Review: i think this article is full of shit...craig is a very talented man, i saw him on stage and i loved it, all people can do now is complain about bands, saying how people are "posers" and "thats been done," there is too much of that now if you dont like it dont listen to it but stop criticzing people, let him be who he is, he loves to do what he does and puts lots of energy into his songs and performances! Trent, Hartsville, S.C. 12/19/02 artist: Corey Review: hot damn that parks is fine as hell, who wouldn't want their face buried between those legs. Wendy LeBlanc, Norwich Conn 12/19/02 artist: Tom Petty Review: I feel that TP's songs give you hope and get our dreams alive. His music makes you feel on top of the world and comforts you when your down. The way he treats his fans makes you look at him as a family member. Some may thinks it's silly, but it's true. Just like Elvis, his music will never die! TP and his Heartbreakers are the best REAL Rock & Roll Band around. Dave, Lincoln 12/19/02 artist: ZOLTAR Review: wot ive heard of the album so far has benn farkin sweet an id just like to say screw all u goth hating bitches out there u can f*ck off an die oh please can u send me the track listings that would be much appreciated thank you marj, detroit 12/18/02 RE: davy 12/15/02 Review: good points davy. your thoughtful words were reasoned and intelligent. you stayed the course and didn't resort to the verbal mudslinging many of the soad fans (and myself) did. it's easy to get angry and fight back with insults. your reason has inspired me to step back and use the power of debate instead of the mindless name calling. thanks Gracie, Chicago, IL 12/18/02 artist: Citizen Cope Review: Personally, I think that Citizen Cope is more than successful in his attempts to create beautiful and honest music. It isn't necessary that he stick to one particular genre, why would anyone want to stick to a specific genre?, I think that's what is so damn good about him, that you cannot pin point what category to put him under. I give Citizen Cope's self-titled album 10 stars, for its fresh, beautiful, and honest quality. Patrick Allan, UK 12/18/02 artist: The Vines Review: Your view on The Vines as a live act is just that. Don't tell me that's the truth. I know what the truth is, I've seen them live. That ain't the truth. The truth is something much different. I saw a band who were shockingly good and sounded great, as if they'd been on road as long as Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. I was amazed when they played Manchester UK. You may well have seen them on a different night, but don't tell me that what I saw was bad just because you saw something different. Don't you tell me the truth when I know what the truth is. You conceited motherf*cker. ??? 12/18/02 Review: who the f*ck cares what you think? Kimi, Sioux City, IA 12/17/02 artist: The Vines Review: I think that this guy is just jealous because he knows he can't punk out like the rest of us...and further more, I think the vined are pretty damn good and are finally puttin an end to this gay ass pop sappy music such as britney,aguilara,nsync,and other shit like that. Thank you for your time. Aaron, Torrance, CA 12/17/02 artist: Zwan Review: I think Zwan is and will revolutionize the face of rock as did the Pumpkins!!! I personally got to see them Live at Canes Bar and Grill 11/20/01 and it was one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. I also own a copy of this April 12, 2002 performance which in deed is great!! It's fair to say that Zwan is a boogie machine churning out over 70 something songs already and mostly playing clubs with a more relaxed feel to thier magic. Zwan shall live forever and The Vines will wither away!!!!! nick freeman, antioch, il 12/17/02 artist: faith hill Review: luv her new record! jenni, chicago, il 12/16/02 artist: alanis morissette Review: I agree with most of your review. i thnk she did a great job on stage and her voice was as good as it's ever been. nice photos too niva bye jenni candice, toronto, canada 12/16/02 Review: phil, your david bowie photos from area 2 in chicago totally rocked!! ??? 12/16/02 Review: I have not seen the shows but like many other smashing pumpkins fans I hope that billy is inspired to create music that not only makes him happy but inspires his fans to be interested in what he is writing. Needless to say he has enough talent to do zwan like he did with the pumpkins but the question in my mind is whether he will be saavy enough to market his new band so that people will be interested in listening to his music or will he just do what feels good and hope people buy-in to the new sound. I think Jimmy will have a lot to do with the success or demise of zwan because his drumming is nothing less than energetic and creative. Again, will billy be radio friendly and reconnect with his fans or will he be in his own world and just rock? I hope for the former, because he is too talented to be just a huge underground phenome. Davy 12/15/02 RE: marj, detroit 12/12/02 "Sorry, but all of your friends seem to be card carrying nazis in training." Ok, fair point, but it was still ineffective to sink to the level of hurling insults. They may understand it, but you ain't going to make anyone think about what they're doing - if you want people to stop speaking like Nazi's, tell them what they're doing wrong, don't just insult them. "You can never use reason to intelligently debate closed minded idiots like you " Hmmm? Of course you can, I'm always up for debate. Why do you say I have closed my mind? As far as I'm concerned I haven't drawn up any conclusions, and if you can find a good enough argument then my views will change. I'm guessing that this is what you disagree with - "They are against a capitalist state that is the closest thing you will ever see to fascism in your life." The reason that I'm against a capitalist state (or any kind of state for that matter) is that in my opinion power corrupts. Our government has a desperate urge to stay in power, and because of this it is impossible to run the country in the way that is best for its people. Do you debate this? Do you feel that Messres Blair and Bush really want what is best for us? If you do, feel free to say so, then we have a debate! "Apparently, you beat your chest the loudest from the top of the trees and took it upon yourself to speak for the subjective and downtrodden masses" At no point did I ever say that my viewpoint was the only one that could possibly be correct. At no point did I claim to be speaking for other people, both of which you seem to be suggesting I was. I don't speak for any "subjective and downtrodden masses," I simply suggest what I feel would be best for the majority. This is another point for debate, if you wish. Do you feel that it is right that people are born into positions of power over us? The richest 200 people, combined, have more money than over half of this worlds population, yet your governments say they are trying to maintain equality - is this right? "Banana for an original thought?" No, most of my views are not origional, people have fought against oppresion for hundreds of years. Was your gorilla analogy origional? Nope, but it hardly matters does it?

Veronica Von, Jacksonville 12/14/02 artist: Incubus Review: I think incubus is one of the best bands i've seen in a really long time.. i love the way they arent marketed and "pre-packaged" like every other band you see today.. they dont fit the mold.. and thats what makes them stand apart.. i think the people that arent incubus fans ... arernt because they dont know what their missing!..

Davy, newcastle 12/11/02 RE: Marj, detroit 12/09/02 (see below) 'shut the hell up all of you little pussies with no taste! system is about as good as limp bizkit. i'm so sick of you stupid little subjective nazis threatening the writer.' Review: If you're going to put something down, at least do it without totally undermining your own argument. So you don't like Soad? Tell us, why not? Don't like the lyrics, too repetitive, too noisey? Don't just tell people to shut up, as it helps nothing. If you tell someone to shut up, they automatically don't give a damn what your reasons for saying it are. You have tried to censor people in a state of free speech, your act is pointless and dangerous. What has made these people Nazis? You probably havent noticed, but SoaD are on the exact opposite end of the political scale. They are against a capitalist state that is the closest thing you will ever see to fascism in your life: look at the rich/poor devide, the way we are told what to buy and made to work for shit. Look at yourself; 'shut up.' This is censorship, one of the major strengths of the Nazi party (and most other dictatorships) is that they were successful when it came to censorship. Think, respect HARMONY KELLY PETERSON, ONTARIO BARRIE 12/11/02 artist: COREY FELDMAN Review: DEAR READERS I THINK COREY FELDMAN HAS JUST AS MUCH TALENT BUT EVEN BETTER BECAUSE OF THE FACT HE DEDICATES IT ALL TO HIS LIFE HIS FRIENDS AND THE WAY HE WAS COREY IS THE MOST AMAZING PERSON TO ME HE HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TERM OF YEARS, THE FACT THAT I'LL PROBLY NEVER MEET HIM DOES UPSET ME BUT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ARE THE MOST LUCKIEST PEOPLE EVER EVEN IF THEY DON'T KNOW IT. AND TO COREY YOU DON'T KNOW HOW AMAZING YOU CAN MAKE ONE WOMEN FEEL JUST BY KNOWING YOUR HERE. Bear 12/11/02 venue: US BEER CO,CHICAGO,12-13-02 Review: I saw a band a few weeks ago...being from the Chicago area I thought I was pretty familiar with the entire music scene all( at least current)I heard GRIGORI 3 was coming out and I thought,wellI saw the band came out and they were fronted by a blonde female and I thought-we'll I will give them a try. Then all of a sudden I was taken back...this band played a variety of sounds from Hard to melodic ...they described themselves as goth/industrial.-I noticed alot of goth/industrial sounds but it was mixed with some hard hitting rhythms and cool electronics and versitle vocals...If you get a chance check them out!! They are playing the: US BEER CO. FRI DEC 13th GRIGORI 3 (1801 N. Clybourne *Chicago)You won't be dissappointed!! They are also featured on a new compilation : "THE BEST OF GOTHIC RADIO"- Dark Future Music Jay & Silent Bob, Khabul 12/11/02 artist: Picasso Review: jeeves has helped me find this web-site, on the vital info on this band, Jeeves has been continuously helping me over the years, therefore I thank Jeeves from the bottom of my heart. cynthia, monterrey, nuevo león 12/11/02 artist: the vines Review: i love it larry, miami, fl 12/10/02 artist: vines Review: the vines r completely overrated! their music offers nothing new. i'm sick of all this revivalist rock that the press fawns over and the masses buy in droves. go back to your record collections and listen to iggy pop, lou reed and the clash if you really want to hear the real thing. xrayx, ConcertLivewire 12/10/02 Review: Sorry, Nancy we're not selling our vast archive of concert photos. nancy, ny, ny 12/10/02 artist: aerosmith Review: i luv all of ur great aerosmith photos.! can i buy any?? Vern, Orlando, FL 12/10/02 artist: Yes Review: Your Yes review was total shit!!! Terry you're an idiot!! marj, detroit 12/09/02 artist: system Review: i agree system of a down totally sucks!!! shut the hell up all of you little pussies with no taste! system is about as good as limp bizkit. i'm so sick of you stupid little subjective nazis threatening the writer. when in fact you're all probably fat little nerds with no life or girlfriend. marianne, chicago, il 12/09/02 artist: the vines Review: the vines play with mch more passion than any other band today. that is why one reason they were featured on the cover of rolling stone magazine recently even tho no one really knew who they were. you might have seen them on an off night or you just don't understand real rock n roll! see them again before you cast the first stone. michael kelly, Calais maine 12/09/02 artist: Johnny Winter Review: Great review!!!! Seen JW 19 times since '74 up here in Maine...he is THE BEST. mET HIM IN CAPE COD ALSO.WHATA A THRILL. hOPE HE DOES ANOTHER SHOW IN Maine. Love to see some photos of JW & Muddy.... Larry Gerson, Pgh. ,Pa. 12/09/02 artist: Yes Review: Hey Terry , you blew your credibility when your refered to the song as "hearts of the sunrise",no s ! The current tour was not my favorite. You still cannot find this caliber of musicianship in most of today's music.Yes is hardly past their prime. Proof of this is realized on their most recent studio recording "magnification" Obviously, you are too young and ignorant to know. You probably think The sex pistols are a more important band in the history of rock n' roll! Guys like you have helped to create the disasterous sound of todays music. just look at the billboard charts and puke !! nate 12/08/02 artist: ben harper City & State: Alpine Valley, WI Review: I was at this show and it rocked! If anybody has it i would like to get it from you! thanks, nate Return to top More Rant or Rave Archives Return to Rant or Rave Return to Menu
