artist: Axl Rose
Review: He released two masterpieces ,use your illussion 1 and 2 ,after him what the other rock singers have done so far ,have any members of gnr or any rock singer reached the point where axl has reached tHe can be manic depressive ,insane ,homophobic or whatever,however he is genius ,he has a world view about the life ,he is not a stupid person ,otherwise how can he affect so many people ?why are we talking about him ,cause he is valuable to do this ...,you can say goddamn things about his personal life ,but he is an artist and we should concentrate on his arts ,and his works about the art is enough to make all these people shut up

mortiz, milwaukee, WI 01/31/08
artist: walkmen
Review: In regards to the walkmen show on 1/18 - it was a good, not great performance and i hate to say this because they may be one of the more exciting bands out right now...i felt like they couldn't WAIT to leave for the night - (the weather was brutal, or maybe somebody was sick but come on it's not like they were headed to LA - they were going to MADISON) i felt like they could've put together a much better set given their live show - I'm bummed i missed the White Rabbits!

artist: Velvet Revolver
Review: "One of the foundations of GNR's music was the disorder and chaos that was so effortlessly blended in every song." -That describes them to a tee! Good review.

??? 01/24/08
Review: I believe the individual who "attempted" to write this "multum in parvo" (much in little), (Janes and summary), the author is in dire need of realization; a cornerstone of experience and art. As a writer's critic critic, those who long to be such should abstain. By precluding (the author of this "article"), we anticipate the joy, the awesome entertainment, freedom, and true art. NOT art as you see it, portray it, want, wish, or hope it to be, but art in it's purest form - how it is; which logically is not subject to be put in a "box", for the obvious reasons.

Laura Liebenow, Greenfield, MASS 01/22/08
artist: Hanson
Review: I think Hanson has continued to grow and mature as people and as artists! It is a shame they aren't getting as much recognition as they should. Not only is their music inspiring, but they are inspiring. I am forever proud to be a fan!

Kaitlyn, Kiel, WI 01/22/08
artist: Hanson
Review: Hanson is the best band EVER. They care and interact with their fans so much, unlike a lot of very popular artists. I don't go a day without listening to their music!


Hilary Doenges, Holland, Michigan 01/22/08
artist: Hanson
Review: Amazing! Ike, Tay, and Zac never fail to surprise me with their new ideas and their passion for the music they create! I ALWAYS LOVE watching the guys perform.


Ashley Winkel, Edmonton AB, Canada 01/22/08
artist: Hanson
Review: This is a rave for sure, I've kept up with this band in the in between years from "Middle of Nowhere" to "the Walk" and the level of growth and mature talent blows me away. Hanson clearly has a sound unlike anyone else, and they are a creative and unique voice in the music industry that stays true to it's roots. Their vocal harmonizies are amazing and instrumentation on both their studio and acoustic albums is so tight. Don't get me started on their live performances which are a must see for fans and skeptics alike. Hanson may just be the best true Rock and Roll group still going today.


amanda GENDRON, Newington, CT 01/22/08
artist: Hanson
Review: For nearly eleven years Hanson has continually released incredibly awesome music. Hanson's soulful tunes are a much needed remedy for those who are frustrated by the state of contemporary pop music. I am always impressed by the quality of Hanson's music. I will forever be a fan.


Brooke, New York, NY 01/22/08
artist: Hanson
Review: I am very impressed with the Walk acoustic premiere. It is a great album with such variety. This is a band that consistently produces quality music and songs and the fans are never disappointed.

Terri Misitano, Chicago IL 01/17/08
artist: Greg Brown
Review: This is funny: Although I had not before seen Greg Brown in concert, I knew I would leave feeling that familiar uplifting of spirit which Greg Brown and his art elicits. I arrived in Milwaukee with time to stroll through the city, Calatrava's Museum being first on the list. I meandered back streets and happened upon The Ynot Bar. Compelled by "A Place In The Country," in I went and I left with intentions of sharing the concert with a young local man. He was crazy about Bo, as am I. Bo quietly slipped into his chair unannounced, and so (this is the funny part) one might somehow understand why I thought he was Greg, or at least forgive me my stupor. Although slighter than I imagined Greg to be, I went with it while I waited, without recognizing one song. With his left pant-leg teetering on the tip of his boot, ever-so-endearingly, (Nice boots, Bo!) I enjoyed as I realigned my image of Greg to that which I was witnessing; and I listened. Then along lumbered Greg. ! GB is so "All-MAN": He's got the trajectory of an echo, the clarity of cobalt on a northern day, plants himself like a tree, and swings on the humility of everybody's best friend. The guy has such undeniable, pure presence. The house was up to its ceiling in feet. No one will take the beeper outta Greg Brown; not only is this guy alive and kick'n; he enlightens life itself. Thank you Greg and Bo, for an unforgettable experience. Terri

Review: Hey, I love your interview of Sen and Bobo. I drive around in my car with the first Hill album on the passenger seat, so I can blast the first song on it when I drive by someone who's getting pulled over and fucked with by the pigs. :D I'd love to talk to Sen, Bobo, and B about politics sometime.

Sheilah, NEW ORLEANS, LA 01/14/08
Review: I had the pleasure of being in Merrillville at The Star Theater in 2006.I flew in from New Orleans, and attended both concerts over the two night period ( i will follow "THE WHISPERS" anywhere). The shows were indeed bittersweet, albeit fanrtastic nevertheless!! Once i stopped sheeding tears,when Johnny and especially The O'Jays came onstage and begin to sing, i truly realized what a tremendous and talented group of artists were assembled for our pleasure.Now don't get me wrong, because NO ONE can sing "Gerald like Gerald"!!! That's probably why Eddie (GERALD) received a standing ovation that lasted for at least five minutes.
