Review: sweet pics.....wow. I like the guitar one on the left on top! Great FRICKEN job Matt! ha ha


Tim, Milwaukee, WI 05/11/05
artist: U2
Review: Chicago; May 7, 2005. Saturday was my ninth U2 concert and I am a die-hard fan but I have been shaking my since I left the United Center. Did I have a great time? Yes. Was it great seeing the boys again after a few years? Yes. Would I still rather have been there than anywhere else? Yes. Were they still better than any other band? Probably.
But I have to be honest, I left slightly disappointed. That U2-knock you on your butt performance where you sort of float for a few hours after was no where to be found. I have never left a U2 concert so "uneffected", if that makes sense. I actually caught myself shaking my head during a couple of songs, trying to put my finger on what the hell was missing. Their was something definitely missing with the band's energy and pardon my blasphemy, but Bono seemed rather ordinary. I can't believe those words just came off my keyboard. Were there moments that got me going?! You bet, but I have never left an arena or stadium after seeing them and felt like I did.
I am sure that this void I am feeling is partly due to such excessively high expectations. But the key is that they have never disappointed me before! They have always moved me like no other live band, not even close.
Well, I'll be back on Thursday for another go and will see them again in September. I just hope that the magic returns and am hopeful that it will. It just fu@#in' has to....

presian, sofia/bulgaria 05/07/05
Review: what is this crap im feeling
what is all this pain
it is something new
something i never felt before
i dont care
caus iknow how to make it disaper
when it all bottels upp to this point
the point where im about to brake
i find my only freind
the freind that dont ever lett me down
this freind you ask
oh, lett us call him blade
for the blade is all i need
when im lost withinn

I hate poetry but this, i think is the best way to express how i feel.I have some strange sort of depression and it's like that-Sometimes i feel really fuck'd up and sometimes i'm like living in the pretty pink world where everything is fine.i don't do drugs or drink or smoke.The problem is that i change my feelings too fast and thats when i hurt somebody(fisicly or psychical).But wait you don't care.sure you dont care its like i'm talking to the wall.well goodbuy wall.

charlie tate, Fredericksburg/Virginia 05/03/05
artist: Dead in September
Review: I've listened to the misfits since I was round three years old. My father was a huge fan and would go to every show he could make it to. Sometimes he would take me with him with my face painted just like Doyles. I have alot of influences in my band but, all of us love the misfits and end up covering most of their songs when we play at bars then we do our own. I think it's amazing that they have still stood the test of time. I mean kids that are twelve and thirteen are wearing misfits shirts like medals of honor. I hope the original members get back together to do an album just for old times sake. It could possibly be remakes of all the old best of record.
