Camyla, Lousiville, Ky 02/21/02
Review: Thank You sooo much!! Lennon Murhpy is by far one of the most influentail and ground-breaking artists, male or female, to date. Her words are poetic, yet coldly truthfull, and your review of her debut CD is rather impressive. Ciao, Camyla

Tiffany, Colorado 02/20/02
artist: THE STROKES
Review: The strokes are the coolest band and i think that they will save rock!! They are so retro. Not to mention Hot as hell! They are talented people and it goes to show that there are some people in this world that know how to rock! Not like any of that Britney Spears crap! A band like the strokes comes around only once in a life time be thankful that its yours!!

glad to see Sen Dog's true inteligence come out when talking about our president.("As long as you have marijuana illegal everybody knows you're full of shit.") Nice job on the interview anyway, Barry.

Erica, Ft Lauderdale Fl 02/19/02
artist: LiNkiN Park
Review: Although Ive missed the chance to see this amazing band live that does not in any way diminish their greatness in my eyes. Their music is an incredible mix of back beats, guitar riffs, and lyrics that could easily change someone's life. Their impact on the music industry has been apocolyptic and I for one am willing to wait a millenium for another cd like Hybrid Theory! LiNkiN Park rocks!


jeanette, toronto 02/19/02

Review: what a frickin juicy band. someone had to pinch me last time i saw them live!

Andrew Gelardi, New York, NY 02/17/02
artist: Moodroom
Review: Your article was right on. I've been following these guys for a year now am totally in love with their music. It's gratifying when someone with a louder voice than mine says good stuff about them.

Artist: Strokes
Review: hear hear. Yet another great review of the future. As good as Radiohead is, I fully agree with your reviewer. The Strokes are so vital and ALIVE! What a masterful debut album. Short, hot and furious. Whew I think they're only going to get better on their next album!!!

jenny, ft. laud,fl 02/14/02
artist: linkin park
Review: Hi there, I think your review on the concert was good but you should have gotten a little more info on the crowds' reactions. you should have asked the fans what they thought.


Shalin, Wyandanch, New York 02/14/02
artist: Linkin Park
Review: I saw the projekt revolution tour in new york on february 8th and my voice still hasn't come back.....i would definitely see this band again and again.


Randy, North Lima, Ohio 02/14/02
Review: i think your one of the assholes that doesn't have any real taste in music...so think before you type this shit again, because YOUR writing is tastless!!!


Emily, Richmond, VA 02/14/02
Artist: Lucinda Williams & Ryan Adams
Review: I was at this show and loved it. Flew from Richmond to see this show, and I've been hooked on Lucinda Williams ever since. Of course, I've been hooked on Ryan since last summer. I was front row and this concert kicked some butt. I can't wait to see both these artists perform this year. Good review!


MICHELLE, BRAWLEY, CA 02/14/02
artist: LINKIN PARK
Review: LINKIN PARK ROCKS. EVERYTHING THEY'VE DONE IS SOOO AWESOME AND THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO THEIR FANS. THEY'RE SO NICE TO US, AND WE COULDN'T ASK FOR ANYONE BETTER...AND FOR NOT EVEN 30 BUCKS TO SEE A CONCERT, WHAT COULD BE BETTER

Review: I absolutely love that picture of Steven Tyler that Phil Bnyata shot at alpine in 97. could you, would you can you sell me one?? I'd sleep with it every night :) :)


Bill, Tampa Bay, FL 02/13/02
ARTIST: Elton john
Review: I've seen Elton 14 times and this genuis only gets better with age. His melodies are first rate - copied by everyone. His lyrics (or Bernie's) stir the soul. Weren't you all moved at Princess Di's funeral. I admit it I had a tear in my eye. Bernie Taupin rewrote the lyrics to Candle in the Wind in one day! His latest album is totally cool even the video with Justin Timberlake - he really looks like THE MAN. So anyone who wants to get back to real music and real poetry - just put on any Elton John disc and take a smooth ride into bliss.


John Johansen, Trevor, WI 02/13/02
Review: Who the hell are the Corporate Avenger assholes? I say look in the mirror first before you trash everyone. I loved the review!

Review: linkin park makes me wet


Juli, Madison, WI 02/13/02
Review: I miss the Smashing Pumpkins so much. Billy's soft bald head and all the poetry inside. All the new music today pretty much sucks except for maybe Linkin park and a few others.


dagger, CA 02/13/02
artist: Cypress Hill
Review: how the hell could Cypress Hill open for Lincoln Park. Forget record sales these guys are the true masters and the young punks should've went first.

Silver, St.Louis Misery 02/12/02
Review: Corporate Avenger f*ckin rules they are everything i stand for and more!!!!


Christian DeKalb, Tucson Arizona 02/11/02
Review: Coporate Avenger simply puts the problems of our goverment into lyrics and then publishes them. THere is nothing wrong with that. You just fail to see that this is just a new way at looking at things, and it startles you. SO SHUT THE F*CK UP AND GO BACK TO YOUR BULLSHIT THOUGHTS


Derek Montana, NY 02/11/02
artist: Stereophonics
Review: Great review! You people seem to have a rash on your ass with brit pop bands. That's a good thing


krystal 02/11/02
artist: high sosity
Review: totally awesome band!


Pizzle, ,Seattle fool 02/10/02
Review: your quote "bombastic religious views on numbers such as "The Bible Is Bullshit," "Drug Dealing God," "Christians Murdered Indians" and "Jesus Christ Homosexual," where they insinuate that Jesus may have been gay, and that the Virgin Mary was a hermaphrodite," is inaccurate, maybe you didnt listen deep enough to the actual message.... christians that god created us in his image, but there are gay people out there, so they were also "created in god's image", therefore in order for everyone to be created in gods image part/or some of god (according to christian beliefs) must have been gay... maybe think before you go talkin about shit you dont understand -peace


mike, dallas, tx 02/10/02
Review: what's with alll this corprate avenger shit. they suck!!


Carol Lewis, Milwaukee, WI 02/10/02
Review: I have seen the future of rock n roll and his name is Ryan Adams.


perry, san diego 02/09/02
Review: first of all a quick kudos to all the corporate avengers fans that have shared their many articulate thoughts on this page. your infantile and one-sided views on life are quite a hoot. my only question is how did you get mommy and daddy to spell out so many no-no words for you? or should i assume that they are also fans of WWF wrestling, jerry springer, microwaved swanson pot pies and would rather pay for just one more hit off the crack pipe than to fix your teeth?


Constance Pride, Spokane, WA 02/08/02
Review: You people in the Chicago area are f*cking LUCKY. You get all the blues all day and all night. You're so f*cking spoiled and you don't even know it!!!

ADORE IS THE GREATEST


john, nashvil tn 02/07/02
Review: i think that ppl like you should not critisize other ppl with differnt ideas


Dark, LA, CA 02/07/02
Review: I did not care for your little speech about corporate avenger. You apparently do not see them for who they are. Men that call life as they see it and demand a radical change. You sir are a f*cking blind idiot and im glad that u do not like corporate avenger because they dont need tasteless sacks of shit like u as fans. They aren't rap metal u imbecile. They have their own style and for u to compare them to such shit as limp bizkit is utter blasphemy. Go back to church dickhead.


Frances 02/06/02
Golly gee and I spose you people like Culture Club too?


jimmy, elgin 02/06/02
pleased to meet you. hope you guess i'm gay.


Mike Olsen, Boulder, CO 02/06/02
I've been weedin' thru rants and I'm appalled at the complete stupidity of Corporate Avenger fans. I actually bought the cd after I read all the shit here just so I could form an objective opinion.
These guys are absolute whiners - complaining about everything while they long for the simplicity of the earth. The tribe. Give me a break when one of these faggots gets a sniffel what's he gonna do? wipe bison dung all over his face, of course. These idiots talk about oppression as they sip their beers in their climate controlled rooms as their cars are running waiting to take them to the next bar. Corporate Avengers sound like whining women in the throes of their periods. Stick a tampon up your ass - maybe then you'll really feel what bullshit feels like.


butch, international falls mn 02/06/02
blow me hard CA fans!


none of your f*ckin business 02/06/02
Artist:Corporate Avenger
Review: LIsten corporate avenger is a talented band. At least their talking about things that are actually plagueing our country...unlike bands like BSB and britney spears that sing about love and bullshit that sells records. YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT THE F*CK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SO SHUT THE F*****CK UP!!!!


Barry Brecheisen, ConcertLivewire 02/06/02
Review: Hi Buffy, Sure I can assist you with one word...Kinkos!!


Orleans, Sommerville, WI 02/05/02
I read an old Yes review on your site. Phil what are you on drugs!!??!! How could you hate them so much. You just don't get their music. Why don't you admit it. I've seen Yes with an orchestra and it helps to tie in the bands' complex arrangements nicely. You might want to take some music lessons before you see another complex band and stick to reviews of Britney Spears and Eminem.


jesse, LA 02/05/02
who is this lennon chick??? I think i'll go and check your interview with her right now!! bye bye


Hadley Gardner Chicago, IL 02/05/02
I find your Stereophonics review well written but rather one-sided. You apparently bleed Britpop don't you Scott?


buffy 02/04/02
barry don't be dissappointed I can't get my scanner to work. can u show me the ropes? don't worry i haven't forgotten!


leslie, uk 02/04/02

jeff, Chicago, IL 02/03/02
Review: Corporate Avenger are little pussies. Get a life CA fans!


Bonnie Wicker, St. Charles, IL 02/03/02
Review: Lennon is so f*cking hot on stage! This girl gives everything when she's on stage. Tight and hard music mixed with some really exotic good looks. The ultimate mix for a rock n roll star.


heather, somerville nj 02/02/02
Review: Lennon rules


Connie Bukowski, Detroit 02/02/02
Review: Mcknight has all the soul of R kelly, the looks of Maxwell, and the jive of D'Angelo all wrapped into one of the hottest musical acts out today!!!


Larry Owens, Fairbanks, Alaska 02/02/02
Review: You guys in the lower 48 get all the f*cking shows. Us poor bastards up here in Alaska just have to suffer and drown our rock n roll sorrows in a river of very cooooooold beer.


bluesboy21 02/02/02
Review: I consider myself a blues aficanado. I checked out all your blues reviews on your very cool site and especially love Tony Bonyata's Chicago Bluesfest review and kick-ass photos from last year's event. I hope to hell to make it up there for this years extravaganza.


Kevin, Orlando, FL 02/01/02
Review: Simply put - Lennon I want to marry you.


rob, victoria, bc 02/01/02
Review: I think your review of corporate avengers cd was shit. Your review came from a right wing christian view and i dont agree at all. I found that the song 'the bible is bullshit' was an amazing track. i feel that there music itself could use a little help, but there lyrics are very good. I would much rather see your review take a stand against there music rather than themselves. Please write back


jimmy, tampa, fl 02/01/02
Review: gichy, gichy ya-ya mama. man is that lennon chick frickin hot!


rodney, kansas city, ks 01/31/02
Review: Corporate Avenger! IS THE SHIT!!..tell it like it f*ucking is!>.someone needs to..finally someone has the balls to tell the flat out truth!


Cody, Las Vegas 01/31/02
Review: You are blind with hate.Open your ears you hate the truth.Corporate Avenger speaks nothing but truth.You fear this go listen to TOOL your opinoin is not respected.


Frankie-K2G, Wood's Harbour, Canada 01/30/02
Review: Corporate Avenger f*cking rule! They provide an alternative to the monotonous lifestyle of religious living..


chad dunlap, lima ohio 01/30/02
Review: i think whoever review this album needs kicked in their f*ckin head didnt the moron understand the f*ckin message in the music if they didn't then i guess they're another f*ckin government brain washed f*ck.


Darcy, Hartford CT 01/29/02
Artist: Glampire
Review: The lyrics stay in my head long after I stop listening to the CD. So many great songs on this cd, surely one can find a song that they could identify with on a personal level with experience's they might have had in life. Glampire brings out all those feelings you try to hide and let no one see. He makes you feel like you are not alone with your thoughts on love and life as it surrounds you everyday, He puts the words out there that you wanted to say and did not know how. It's like he knows how you feel and he's helping you put it all together when you listen to him. He is one of my top choices and I take his cd's everywhere I go.


Boyd Cusack, St. Paul, MN 01/29/02
Review: The average Corporate Avenger fan's IQ seems to be hovering around 60. You're really only good for mindless labor. Or maybe a programable, but very primitve robot. Like barking the kindergarten diatribes that your lords and "saviours" TELL you to think. You know, tell you something and you'll do it with all the fervor of a monkee fighting for the last banana in the jungle. Why don't all you idiots go back to your tribal ways and ask yourselves why the circling wolves are persecuting you as they close in for dinner. Then once and for all you will shut the f*ck up!


Xavier, Michigan 01/29/02
Review: Corporate Avenger is one of the best bands out there. I don't see Limp Bizshit singing about topics that could change America as they speak, wow, they're leftist on the polotitian scale, that makes them bad? Yeah, you're just another f*cking republican trying to take over the human mind.


Kevin Bowen, Cedar Rapids, IA 01/28/02
Review: I recentiy saw Weezer live and was actually blown away by the back-up band jimmy Eat World. Intense and personal. very cool way to be indoctrinated into some new music. It's rare when an opening act surpasses the headliner!


crazyboy, AL 01/28/02
Review: Man I'm digging the new bands like Puddle of Mudd and Disturbed. it's a whole new ballgame out there now and the likes of Slipknot and Sevendust better realize it.


Carrie, Boston, MA 01/27/02
Review:I think the Charlatans are so cool - nice job on the review!


Jam, ohio 01/27/02
Review: I think the corporate avengers are sweet, they are saying what i have been saying for years, in every aspect. they are just sweet.


McGoo, Milwaukee 01/26/02
Review: Uh, somebodys jealous of Kid Rock up there. Right on man. So the only thing about the Radiohead concert in Chicago that could have been better was if the Naperville, IL high school crowd wasn't there. I had to move "like" three times to finally enjoy the music. I give it a 9/10. I also recomend seeing G Love and Special Sauce if there in your area. Funky, Funky.


puttinout 01/26/02
I've got long legs, big breasts and a face that would make an old man cry for his youth. I'm the ultimate groupie. I bed down with all these f*cking bands that say they are up and cuming. I know I'll hit a home run one of these days with one of these f*cking bands. Until then I'll be there in the front row bouncing my body to lure you into my trap and one of these days I'll hit upon a real f*cking winner. And that poor singer will never know what hit him. I've tasted shit and now I want you to taste mine


Sandy Ellison, Chicago 01/26/02
Review: New Orleans music never tasted so good. Your review reminded me of what the heart of new Orleans has to offer. It's not booze and boobs, but heart and soul. Cha Cha ding ding!


Bishop, Carbondale, IL 01/26/02
Gosh, I suppose Buffy's a man. Now that would be a huge disappointment.


Barry Brecheisen, ConcertLivewire, Just a few thoughts. 01/25/02
1) My dear Buffy, I will never say no to that kind of offer. Well...unless of course it's from my Mother!

2) Well Crawdaddy of Elgin, You're not gonna be happy w/ me when I review the Brian McKnight show!!

3) Thanks Linda. Enjoy New Orleans but be prepared and leery of men offering you beads!!

4) Hey, Connie, For what it's worth Lennon's cd and Lennon live are two very different things. The cd didn't do as much for me as it did for the reviewer. However, when you see her live it's a totally different experience. She does let her guard down more. Especially when she plays the piano and the melodic part of her comes out! The problem with the cd may very well lie w/ the fact that no one on the cd played live together. Everything was recorded separately...just a theory I thought I'd share!?


nobby, Holmdel NJ 01/25/02
Review: Cory, you da f*cking man, well put and let corporate avenger speak the truth. let them serve this world to understand that they might be wasting an important part of life on something that they should think their real minds on and not be scared. Let respect for this earth go on.later people and get off this thing and try to do something to show the respect of life and this small beautiful and cruel world.


jeremy, minnetonka, mn 01/25/02
Review: What corporation does corporate avenger work for? R they exempt from all the bullshit that their employees spout off about. i doubt it. produce ur own records assholes and maybe we'll listen without all the hypocrisy.


starf*cker, CA 01/25/02
Review: Corporate Avenger is the most important band to come out in over a decade. Just because you idiots are so stupid and close-minded doesn't bode well for your reviews on other bands. How the hell can anyone with a brain ever take any of your reviews seriously?


Crawdad, Elgin, IL 01/24/02
Review: Spare me the f*cking new R&B shit out there today. It's all self indulgent whiners spewing inane lyrics wrapped in a forgettable tortilla of re-fried beans. When I hear the likes of Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly and Destiny's Child I want to fart but only shit instead.


kevin, IL 01/24/02
Review: Your site is very cool!


Linda Potter, Whitewater, WI 01/24/02
Review: I'm digging your Dr. John review. it's getting me in the mood for the Big Easy. I'm actually going to brave fat Tuesday. Never been there before so the only way to get wet is to dive head first right into the sea of vice!


Jeff Hill, Reno, NV 01/23/02
Top bands of all time!
The Beatles
Bod Dylan

Frank Zappa
Jimi Hendrix
Velvet Underground
Cream

Sorry I'm hopelessly stuck in the sixties.

Crystal Meyers, LA 01/23/02
jeez and I thought Corporate avenger were good until I read the shit (see close minds) in this forum. Lighten up and understand the lyrics of CA. You might not be so full of hate if you did.


buffy, IL 01/23/02
Barry do u really wanna see. I'll take some snaps and post 'em later. I think youl like em!!


Canned-ACE!!!, Rancho Cordova, CA 01/23/02
Review: Dude, I don't know what the hell you're thinking or talking about, but Corporate Avenger rocks! A friend of mine turned me onto them, and I have been hooked since! Sure, I'm a Christian and may not agree with everything they say, but it's still good music nonetheless. And they're not just "rap metal" or "hard rock/hip hop"...they throw in a definite punk sound, unlike the other bands you mentioned in your article. Whether or not you agree with the lyrics, you gotta admit their music is enjoyable and amusing, and if you can't see that, you seriously need to remove the stick from your ass. I'm out like a fat kid playing dodgeball...late!


Carmen, Cicero, IL 01/23/02
artist: Greg Allman
Review: Actually the Allman show I saw at HOB wasn't as good as your reviewer potrayed. It was rather lackluster and boring. No soul. It looked like he and the band were just goin thru the motions.


Frank, New Orleans 01/22/02
artist: Limp Bizkit ax serch
Review: What is the deal with the search for a new guitarist at a music store? Don't they have any connections? That would be like my contractor hanging out at Home Depot to find a carpenter..."ok nail these two boards together and we'll get back to you" What a bunch of losers.


Cory 01/22/02
How about reviewing the "O Brother, Where Art Thou" Cd. I realize it's late, but I still wanna know what you think of this gem.


Pete, miami 01/21/02
You people should take a look at our band down here in Miami, the Headspinners. It's hard, raw and totally original!


Jennifer, La Crosse, WI 01/21/02
What's all the buzz on your site about this Lennon chick? Probably because she has big tits!!!


Connie Hatley, Milwaukee, WI 01/21/02
Review: I didn't much care dor the new Lennon Cd. She's trying to be way too tough. If she'd just tone it down a bit and let her earthy voice catch the meldoies, it might just sound a whole lot better. I found out about it thru your review. I think you're off, but oh well I gave it a chance.


John Davis, Lake Geneva, WI 01/20/02
Thanks for all the local listings like Jody's Blue Room in Pell Lake. I go there a lot and always use concertlivewire before I go to see who's playing. Please keep doing exactly what you're doing.

Review: Who the f*ck is Gilby Clarke and who the f*ck cares!!


Paxton LeMoine, Overland Park, KS 01/19/02
Artist: WEEZER
Review: awsome show, great energy, but only one song from their best album. i soon figured it out though, it was a radio-friendly not-for-the-hard-core fan show. i like weezer in small venues much better; it is where they put on memerable porformances.


Mary, Dallas, TX 01/18/02
Can't someone out there invent an insecticide to rid us of all these dumbass Corporate Avenger fans???


Kristine Wiese, Mayville, WI 01/18/02
Your site is choke full of groundbreaking stuff!!


Jeff Hill, Reno, NV 01/17/02
We need a cool site like yours out west. We have nothing like it. Rolling Stone doesn't offer all the tour info and reviews that you people have. There are a few rinky dinky sites out here that don't really help. Oh well, good job and when are you coming out west young man?


Gerri, Libertyville, IL 01/17/02
Review: Here's my top 5 concerts of last year:

Too bad I was too young to see the likes of jane's, peppers, pumpkins and soundgarden in their prime! now we have shit like ozzfest, family values and the like. yech. : ( complete sellouts. I hope that a similar scene will arise from the ashes of ozzy and limp bizkit to dominate again!

Did you girls and boys miss me? I thought soooo. been campaigning for a new world order. No more Bush. Sex that is. I'm not going to live like an animal anymore and do the dirty. It's so physical and gross. I'm going to use my larger organ for the betterment of society. Oh if I was only born an hermaphrodite I could control these urges with level head!

Review: It's now 2002 and I agree let the Corporate Avenger rants go. Who cares what Concertlivewire thinks. So they didn't like the cd...so what. Move on and live in your own little bubble where Corporate Avenger is your GOD!

Review: Hi Cary Carol or Carol Cary. If "Cut's like a knife" was one of your favorite videos from early Mtv how come you don't know that his name was "Bryan" Adams and not "Ryan"!?

Dudes, your website is great. it is nice to see a site that can give a fair and REAL opinion and not just go along with the tide like the rest of the lemmings...I read your review of a Kid Rock show from about a year ago and I couldnt agree more. I mean, what the HELL is the big deal about this clown? Since when does a failed rapper who moonlights as a rocker cause such a stir? I mean, this idiot walks around like he is God's gift. I guess most dont remember him from 10 years ago, when his REAL debut album came out in the spring of 1991 on JIVE RECORDS! The same label brittany, nsync and o town are on! I worked at a record store, so i know. This chump use to have a high top fade hairdo like Kid from rap duo Kid n' Play! He was all like "yo yo yo, yeah boeeeey!" and all that crap. And of course it failed miserably and he was dropped from Jive. And u gotta suck pretty bad to get dropped from Jive! So the lil' wigger goes back home to ROMEO, Michigan. Cuz that is where he was born and raised(NOT Detroit), and he went back to live in his big house with his family, on a SIX ACRE property! Hmmm, dont sound like white trash or a trailer park to me?!??! Not to mention his daddy OWNS a Cadillac Car Dealership!!!

So at 21 years old his career appears to have been over. He is a sucker just like vanilla ice and marky mark... oh, but Kid decides to reinvent himself as some redneck trailer park rocker.. and he released 3 more pathetic albums of self aggrandizing crud on his own indie label while ripping off sooo many people i cant begin to count. This dude is a musical cleptomaniac. Not to mention his whole American Badass persona is basically a 3rd rate version of the TRUE American Badass, the ORIGINAL who had the pimpin' style, the midgets and the swagger, Diamond Dave, David Lee Roth! Kid musta taken Diamond Dave 101 on how to be a rock star.... So this hack Kid, who's real name is BOB, hits TRL in 1999 after gettin signed to Atlantic and getting a band that can play(cuz his skills on instruments are a JOKE) and BOOM, instant career.. So now the guy walks around like if he never did ANYTHING wrong, and swept his pathetic previous career under the rug while runnin around fooling everyone...except me of course... People are sooo gullible.. This guy is a POSER and a cliche'. He hasnt innovated a damn thing. Someone like Beck has been mixing southern rock, folk, blues, hip hop, country, rock, electronica etc.. since 1993!!! BUT HE DIDNT HAVE TO LIE ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND AND ACT LIKE A TRAILER PARK REDNECK TO DO IT! lol.. And rap and rock have been mixing for over 2 DECADES now!!! And I mean, did people forget Michigan is in the NORTH?!?! Why do they believe it when Kid acts like he is a good ole' boy from the south?!?? jesus h. christ! Man, as i said before, when a failed rapper who moonlights as a rocker can make it, the world is a sad place.. and so what if he got on MTV, sold millions and nails pam anderson.. so did brett michaels of poison 10 years ago!! loll.... whatever, Kid sucks, he is a total paper champion and a freakin POSER... ughhh.... So keep rockin guys.... and keep tellin the TRUTH.... Thanx

Review: You invest a lot of careful thought into your articles. Kudos to all the writers on board. I love reading the insightful articles and reviews. You are also brave enough to critique what you DON'T like. Let's hope ConcertLivewire is around for years to come.

Barry if you think lennon is good looking then look at me. Mine r real too! and I have a lot to say. try me!


Malinda blu, detroit, mi 01/10/02
barney rubble loved fred. abbott hugged costello. the deepest darkness always kisses the morning light so why do you hate Corporate Avenger Holiday? You should inspire not hate with words that shoot daggers thru the heart.


Nath, Devon, England 01/10/02
Review: I can't say for the States, but here in England, they've released the CD twice. Once as a limited edition double CD, and also the normal 1 CD, not containing Judas' (shock horror!). Don't know about you, but I think that's a bit rude! Apart from that it's great. You've got old favourites on one CD and a whole new B-Sides-esq release. Well they are the Smashies. It's bound to be good.


Kevin, Iowa 01/10/02

Review: dude, corporate avenger is f*cking awesome. they speak their mind on how life is.


Cory 01/10/02
Review: I think that you live a world of disillusion. You call Corporate Avenger crap because you dislike their musical style of Punk/metal/hip-hop. Corporate Avenger speaks a message, whether or not they are correct is irrelivant. They dress as "rodeo clowns on crack" to reflect the hatred and lies spread throught our history. You proved that their appearence works, people are put of by what they don't understand. We as humans are taught through various religions. More importantly we are taught that our Religions are accurate in all its teachings. Corporate Avenger is one of the few bands who reject these mentalities. Through their songs Corporate Avenger stresses the importance of spirituality and family. "The Bible is Bullshit" is a song that reflects their veiws on organized religion and their over all message that people put to much faith in their fear-based religions that have done no more than separate and seclude the human race. While the bible, or the Koran may have!
good messages they are not the word of god. They are texts written by men. Our true culture is that of our mother earth. Its not what type of musical style Corporate Avenger,like Rage, is its what they represent thats important.


Craig Warne, MK, UK 01/09/02
Review: Hmm, this isn't really a review on an album but rather a comment on the music industry which misses the objective you set out to achieve. Still failing to acheive actual objectives is common amoung right wingers I mean look at President Bush - The guy can burn Afghanistan but cannot capture Osama.


Barb, Milwaukee 01/09/02
Review: kittie rocked their asses off. So what they're only a trio now. Leaves more room for kick ass rock and roll!!!


bill morley, Pittsburgh 01/09/02
What is it with Ryan Adams. He was great in Whiskeytown wanted to go out on his own and write music that's not half as good as his work with the band! 2 stars out of 5


Heather Ebert, Anaheim, California 01/07/02
Review: You do not know what the hell you are talking about. I wanted to know have you ever seen them in person? Because you would know that Freedom is a State of Mind is their third album and they do not try to be black inner city homies. I just think you might be writing a bad review of them because you might be offended because your religious or something but they stand up for their beliefs and I give them props for that. Me and my boyfriend have seen them like a dozen times live and we have all three of their albums and we have become very good friends with the lead singer Spike. I just think you should give them a chance before you just go ahead and criticize them. Thanks for listening Heather

Review: I can't puy it into words. They were so slamin! I don't think that I have been to a concert with such force that humiliated even me. This band was bitchen. It was dirty rude and I needed a bath. That night sleeping on their crude words and hard music turned all my happy dreams into nightmares.


ed, dallas, TX 01/06/02
Great Natalie Merchant review. I think she's taken it a step further than with 10,000 Maniacs. Her music is truer and has better harmony. Her lyrics rock with passion. Can't wait to see her live again!

artist: Corprate Avenger
Review: Corprate Avenger is a great band the music they play is really unlike anything else out there. They are really difficult to catagorize at my local cd store for example they are found in both the rock and rap sections all i really have to say is just listen to whatever you want but if you don't like a band there is no reason at all to attack them personally i'm a huge ICP fan so i see it enough on that side of the fence and its just stupid if you don't like it just say your piece on the music not the band and then do us all a favor and shut the f*ck up!!!!!!!

Hey, nice interview! I met her at a show in detroit and she really is as hot as her picture tells. I think I know a lot more about her now. She came up with great answers. I'm going to tell my friends to take a look.


Becky, Lake Geneva, WI 12/31/01
Your site rocks! I've been looking for info on stadiums, found your site and couldn't believe the wealth of music info! Good luck and I am now a regular!


Sara, Pell Lake, WI 12/31/01
Tony Bonyata's review on Peter Yorn makes me want to buy the CD. I hope CD Warehouse in Lake Geneva has it. I also noticed that your site covers more up and coming bands on your CD reviews rather than older established acts. Very cool. How else are we going to check out new and exciting music?!!?


Judd, Spokane 12/30/01
Crystal Method has taken over where the Chemical Brothers stopped. Kudos to the reviewer on their latest relaease. nice job!
