natalia, chile, concepcion 08/30/04
artist: the vines
Review: bueno , the vines es lo mejor que hay en cuanto a la musica en este momento , recomiendo winning days para que lo escuchen es muy bueno ifual highly evolved con la fabulosa y melancolica cancion autumn shade , en el segundo disco tambien esta la cancion autumn shade 2 esta tambien melancolica y con matices perfectos que se les puede confundir con los beatles , tambien hay un cambio drastico con fuck the world una cancion muy potente y donde se les compara con nirvana.
recomiendo los dos discos , son mesclas perfectas para comenzar el dia y para terminarlos tambien . lastima que patrick matthews se va , pero es una informacion que todavia no esta confirmada de ser asi igual compren el disco , primero eso si highly evolved. natalia

DahlKen, Fullerton, CA 08/28/04
artist: SxDx
Review: I think you have something onfused here in your Social Distortion review. SxDx isn't a punk band and hasn't been since the Prisonbound album was reorded. But of course Mike NEVER was a punk, he has always been what we all called..."The Bastard Son Of Johnny Cash." I've known Mike since long before he had ANY of those tattoos he paid hard earned money for in a nice safe tattoo parlor far away from his hometown. Why a band is selling out these shows when it is the first to alienate the fans and even his own bandmates is beyond me and everyone else here in Fullerton. Do you realize that none of the other band members can even get near him for any reason? Or that he only pays them a measly pittance per week instead of a percentage of what the band makes?? Or how he owns nearly a whole city block in Newport Beach now, but whines about the hard times and such? You people need to wake up and really get a clue to this farce. He is NOTHING like the person he dreamt o! f being in his songs. He was too scared to do what we were out doing in those days when it was dangerous. But he sure loved to hear the stories, so he could write songs and tell the girls he did it. Don't believe me?? I had Mommy's Lil Monster tattooed across my neck in '78, and Sick Boy across my stomach in '79! Go figure out when those songs were recorded and so on. Needless to say, put him and his band where they belong, in the Rockabilly Has Beens. Dennis wrote every one of the songs they ever recorded. And as for the original members....Rikk Agnew, Casey Royer, Frank Agnew, and Carrot. Mike came along later after Casey went to Adolescents to drum for them, and then Rikk got offered the guitar spot in Adolescents, and that pretty much ended the original S.D. So as for the original members.....there are none playing in it any longer, and none of the originals would. Not with Mike. Mike should really let SxDx go in respect for Dennis. But he won't, he is just! after the money. And as long as people like you continue to ! pay the outrageous amounts to see a fake, he will continue to rip you all off. If only you could see him for who he really is.......but then he is showing you....."Hope the police won't show up here, we'll have to hide out of fear." But you don't hear those parts do ya? Of course not.

Ann Spade-Smith, CA 08/26/04
artist: No Doubt
Review: Great pix! No Doubt is by far the best band I know. Their chemistry is off the charts and is one of the biggest reasons they succeed as a group. Gwen rocks! That girl is FIT!


Lizzie, England 08/25/04
artist: Lifehouse
Review: In my opinion lifehouse are the best band ever. I have loads of favorite bands but lifehouse are definatly my all time favorite. As you said thier first album was realy good, but their second is no different, the lyrics are meaningfull, emotional and spiritual and the sound it great! They can play their instruments incredably and Jason's voice is amazing! When i went to see them on 17th April 2003, In london everyone there was jumping around and screaming when they played songs from their newest album. Everyone has bad performances right? But theres no need for all that is there? God bless , lizzie


Mish, Lowell 08/25/04
artist: David Cassidy
Review: Well he may not have been the drunk I was referring to, I thought sure upon reading his review it was him. He said(DC) "Don't pull." because he's been nearly yanked off the stage before. And I still think the review of the music stunk. As far as that beer on you... I definatley will take it, if he returns to HOB that is ;o)That's the only way anyone could afford a drink there;o)


mary, twin lakes WI 08/25/04
artist: system of a down
Review: How can you give a band like SOAD only 2 out of 5 stars? These guys are AMAZING. Compared to so many other "nu metal" acts of today, SOAD's awesome guitar parts and totally driving riffs deserve alot of attention. Cornball lyrics you say? System of a Down seem to be one of the ONLY acts today who feel they acutally can, and WILL speak out about the decline of our nation, while everyone else is still messing around with love and their teenage dramas. If you think the lyrics are "cornball" maybe you just do not understand pure, raw insanity. Not everything has to make sence to mean something. If you want something that's easy to understand, go pop in a Good Charlotte record. I think SOAD are amazing- they're what metal SHOULD be.

Jessica Franklin, Lake Geneva, WI 08/24/04
Review: Live wire's reviews are awesome. I could never conduct an interview our write a review, but I am learning more as I read. I am a huge fan of slipknot and loved the interview conducted. (I bet it feels good when you ask a question thats never been asked, or when the band member tells you it's a weird question). Phil you did a great job! You have an awesome gig! (Great photos too) BigRed

artist: Kenny Chesney
Review: I recently went to a Kenny Chesney concert and I thought it was great!He looked great as he always does.I don't think I sat down once.The only thing I would change is that the concert was longer.Even though I didn't get home till midnight I didn't care it was worth it.My sister and I all we talked about was Kenny for the next week and a half.All our friends wanted to know how the concert went and my sister told them that it was better then anything in the world.Now my messenger name is " Rascal Flatts and Kenny Chesney Rock My World!!"


Phil Bonyata/ConcertLivewire 08/21/04
Response: Sorry, Mish...you got it all wrong. Andy NEVER drinks alcohol! You want to know what he drinks at concerts - WATER. Always water. Andy's a good friend of mine and he objectively called a spade a spade. Our readers are lucky to have such a passionate and thoughtful writer on board. Maybe a little Amstel Light might ease your anger. The first one's on me.


Mish, Lowell IN 08/21/04
artist: David Cassidy
Review: Hmmm...From what I remember you were the a** behind me drunk on Amstel light...how can you possibly remember anything about the concert? (Or how could you be stupid enough to pay 5$ a beer unless it was compt). I thoroughly enjoyed DC's (that's what his fan's call him...which brings me to another question since you're obviously not a fan why go....another question...do you actually consider yourself a critic?...don't quit your day job my boy)performance on aucoustic. Yes he was tempramental but if you were a fan you would know this already. Why do you people go to concerts if you're not actually fans??? You're review was harsh, perhaps it contained miniscule bits of truth (sound guy, fan admonishment etc) but your performance rating sucked. I enjoyed every musical minute! Since you're not even a real getting paid critic (if you are your bosses are as drunk as you were at the concert, were you the one who yelled out "Freebird"? A Kevin Matthews fan perhaps? T! hat figures I'm a Steve Dahl fan) Bottom line I enjoyed the concert although his attitude could have been better. It has been stated , howhever that he was sick....I, cannot see that as an excuse, proffessionalism must certainly prevail. WHile his behavior was perhaps not up to par as a proffesional, his performance was awessome.

artist: Cher
Review: What the hell is wrong with you!!! first off how many 58 yr old women can you name that can still fit in that shit and not look all slutty ?? none!. Cher's longevity is absolutely amazing and for her to keep going on Touring and still being able to dance around (without lip singing) LIKE Britney Spears ! and for her to keep going and touring like this puts all those J-Los and Christina to Shame. yeah maybe her voice isnt like Whitney, but wheres Whitney now ! Cher rules and she is the original Diva (FOLLOW CHER YOU BITCHES)
