Dan, Holmdel, NJ 06/23/10
artist: Scorpions
Review: Just saw Scorpions at PNC Bank Arts center. Just like Tull the week before, another nose thumbing at the old fans who made them what they are. After 75 minutes they had played only one of their radio hits, and Klaus Meine's voice sounded so bad, it was like chalk screeching on a black board. I left not caring what was played after that, another $150 was already circling fast and deep, headed down the tubes, and into Klaus Meine?s pockets. The sound of the toilets flushing in the venue's bathroom sounded better than the Scorpions !

One thing I gotta add is that singer is amazing! Didn't think anyone could do justice for the Doors, but this guy is absolutely incredible. Definately want to see them again. Who would think these guys could still rock in 2010? But they sure did!

Review: I believe all this is real my grandmother has told me stories and my family has lived her for years. I ALWAYS thought it was weird how Irvin l young library never had the books of the cemeteries in whitewater, i needed to do a class project on where u were from and i wanted to find which family members were buried in which Whitewater cemetery well come to find out after asking family none of them are, well now i know why the cemeteries have spirits the didnt want to be with for all eternity. im not like most people who want to get a cheap thrill and think its all stories and tales and grandparents who need to go to the loony bin i believe most if not all is real the whitches, sprits everything, ever since i have been born i have lived here and my family never told me family stories until the school project came up then i could tell they were hiding something but what .......

artist: Johnny Lydon
Review: I saw Johnny Rotten play with PIL some for the last time I have 10 years ago or more now in the London Shepherds Bush Empire Theatre and as always this guy does what he says on the TIN, delivers , the man influenced my musical tastes and my life choices back in the insane days of growing up during the punk rock explosion, getting sent home from school for wearing a Clash Bondage Shirt!, God Save The Queen Sex Pistols style during the Jubilee, along with the now sadly departed Joe Strummer and Ian Dury these three guys I owe more to my character than any other influence in my musical or otherwise life!

Thank god I was born when I was and not 10 years too late for punk! one of my favourite lines of all time came to mind during the last few days of UK elections "If Adolf Hitler was here today, they'd send a limousine anyway!" Joe Strummer "White Man In Hammersmith Palais!"

Rory Skillin 05/07/10
Review: Writing this as a massive fan of the band, and their large collection of work to date, I take what is written here as a fairly good summation of a Brian Jonestown Massacre 'gig'. When a band's appeal is not only their music, but their enthusiasm, charisma, beliefs and possibly folklore, then a one-off night of live music is going to be eagerly anticipated. When that show is one of 50, 60 shows over two and half months, then what you innevitably, unfortunately end up with, is a poor immitation of what you had in mind. At the risk of sounding too ridiculous, the BJM are better, the fewer the listeners. I'm not making a point here about fame, I'm saying give them a big stage and a thousand fans, and you'll lose the artistry that you know they are capable of. Having seen the BJM headline T in the Park, all be it fortunately (Hot Chip were unwilling to play the same time as Prodigy, supposidly...) I came away having seen the best band in the world, who write the best music, and sing the best lyrics. I would fully understand however, if someone who was standing right next to me, felt completely different. I suppose it would be how I felt watching Prodigy at a later event.
To call BJM an album band, would be doing them a great disearnest, but if the love isn't there having heard the albums, I don't think the live show is going to win you over.

Rachel, Whitewater, WI 04/26/10
Review: Me and two of my friends just went up by the watertower on campus and saw a lot of creepy things. It was reported to us that if we walked around it three times we would hear something, six time we would see something; and we did. One of the fence pegs was moved after the third time, got hit in the head by something on the 4th time, and after the 6th we found a strip from a book infront of us. Needless to say we are all freaked out.
