artist: merel haggard
Review: i would love to have the address of merel haggard i knew and sang with him almost 30 years ago. i appreciate every thing he has done or any thing that he will ever do. please send an address for his fan club.


Mary, San Antonio, TX 10/09/03
artist: Aerosmith
Review: I consider myself a failry large Aerosmith fan. I've seen them each time they've come to San Antonio in the past 4 years. This was, by far, the most I've ever paid for tickets. They weren't even good seats. But, after all, it was for Aerosmith. Perhaps, you can understand how truly disappointed I was in their performance. They played only until 11:00, while in years past it was well past midnight. There were so many songs that they didn't play. But, worst of all, they didn't come back out for an encore. Everyone's standing around yelling and clapping and then the house lights come up and it's over. What's that about??? I will definitely think twice about spending outrageous amounts of money to see them again next year.


Greg, New York 10/09/03
artist: Jerry Only
Review: Jerry Only is the man. The Misfits kick ass and always will no matter what happens. I really hope that Glenn comes back and Doyle too! I would really like to see a new Misfits album with Glenn singing and get that old-school Misfits sound. Well I hope it all works out and see The Misfits rocking harder than ever.


Jessie Timm, Delafield, Wi 10/09/03
artist: Joe Nichols
Review: I was at Country Thunder USA this year haging out backstage with Joe Nichols! He is awsome! He put on a wonderful Show and putting me on stage with him was the coolest thing I have ever done in my Life! I also Met Montgomrey Gentrey, Brad From Emerson Drive Kieth and Ira! Kieth even gave me a kiss! What A Flirt! But Joe is awsome. I mean he even hung out on the camp Grounds with the fans! It Was a day I will never forget :)


Ari, VA 10/09/03
artist: Blink 182
Review: Yeah. So blink sold out these past few years. It.s sad. But they were..like my gateway drug. You know? They opened up the door for everything I like today, and yeah, they.re not exactly great anymore, but you can.t betray your roots. Dude Ranch and some Enema of the State is great. Anything before (buddha, cheshire cat...flyswatter), is awesome. Plus Tom is hot. Do I sound like a dork or what? Long live blink<3.


Patricia Nenes, Phoenix. AZ 10/09/03
artist: Aerosmith/Kiss
Review: WOW, just saw the s\Aerosmith/Kiss show last night and it was fantastic. Kiss was awesome even though ace wasn't there. But the best act was Aerosmith. They get better and better every time I see them. Their blues set was great these boy's do blues justice. They came out with a bang and ended w/ a bang!! Steven was so sexy and full of energy. The boy's were at the top of their game last night, definatly a show I will never forget!!!


silvia, miami beach 10/08/03
artist: radiohead
Review: This concert was amazing. I think all musiclover's could have enjoyed regardless of their allegance to the band. Also i would say this is definitely not a 'weak' album, but a groundbreaking album.

Peggy/Rich, Denver,CO 10/08/03
artist: aerosmith/kiss
Review: We had a chance of a lifetime to meet Steve Tyler,Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Peter Cris as well a Tommy Thayer. Awesome of them all to take time with the Denver fans; and awesome of FansRule along with KISS and AEROFORCE 1 fan clubs to arrange the backstage experiences we had on 9/30 here in Denver.
Keep Rock n Rolling alive!!!!

Darren, Los Angeles 10/06/03
artist: Dean Strickland
Review: I read in an online interview that Dean Strickland went to college with Norah Jones and that he also used to play in a band with Mike Britt of Lonestar. It's a small world huh? Dean is not one to give up...I hope he records another album soon. I like to hear some of his other songs.


Mike Dixon, The Woodlands, Texas 10/06/03
artist: Aerosmith/Kiss
Review: Despite the torrential downpour from the Texas skies, the Aerosmith/Kiss concert of October 5, 2003, rocked! Saliva was the entry band that really got the audience pumped for what was in store. Almost on queue, the lightning and thunder began to fire up as soon as Kiss hit the stage. With songs like Lick It Up, and pyrotechnics blazing in the background, Mother Nature enhanced the show with her own sound and light show. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons kept the audience ecstatic beyond belief. As if that was not enough, after leaving the stage for a brief moment, Peter Chriss came back and awed the crowd with "Beth". The accoustics were excellent for this ballad and it was as if Mother Nature knew to stop the thunder. Finally Kiss ended their segment with the classic Rock and Roll All Night. Next on the billing was Aerosmith, who started their set with a riveting version of Mama Kin. They did other favorites such as Toys In The Attic, Sweet Emotion, Seasons of !
Wither, and Walk This Way before diving head first into their latest more commercialized hits of Pink, Jaded and Crying. Another treat was Joe Perry's "Let The Music Do The Talking" which was a true guitar classic on its own. As far as ratings go, Saliva was definitely prepared and hungry for success and worked the crowd up and therefore I give them four out of five stars. Kiss, by far, was the best band on stage this night which was amazing since the fans had the worst storm surge during their set. Kiss clearly earned five stars out of five stars for their pertformance. Aerosmith (who by the way is my favorite band of the three), put on a very ho-hum show. They started out well with older music but as their show went along, it seemed they were ready to move on to their next gig. Of course, no encore even solidified that notion. I give Aerosmith four out of five stars. I think long time Aerosmith fans will be disappointed by their preformance.
In all fairness, I e! njoyed every last moment of the show and give the overall show!
five stars out of five stars. Just be prepared to have the climax during the middle and not at the end! - Michael Dixon

Jeff, Berkley, MI 10/05/03
artist: Stooges
Review: I saw the stooges at DTE in Clarkston this year. It was like I had been taken back in time. The band rocked like no other. There were no lasers, explosion or any other distractions. Just good old HARD rock and roll. Iggy and the stooges have always been a favorite band of mine. YOu don't hear music like that anymore, unless you go see the stooges.

Review: Fucking Rocked!! Best album in ages! Made my dick hard!


Marshall Rich -Stonewall, Louisiana 10/02/03
artist: Honeyboy Edwards
Review: I think Honeyboy is the best piece of history we have on Delta Blues in general. The fact that he doesn't linger very long on the Crossroads experience that Robert Johnson said he had (selling his soul to the Devil) is pretty much the proof that Honeyboy's not out to make up stories just to get attention or money. He quickly avoids the reference to Robert Johnson and begins talking about himself as though he really doesn't want to remember. Maybe he knows alot more than he's letting go of? Makes a person wonder when you read between the lines. He's truly a treasure.

artist: The Danger
Review: I am lucky to have met these guys at a Radiohead show, and think their CD is great. There sound is similar to a band American Minor, who you should all look out for. I actually helped the danger get a date down here in Champaign this month, so let's see if the quality of their show matches that of the record.

I did find his music available on the internet through his homepage. I listened for myself and yes Tony you do give fair reviews. No one can deny that Dean writes good simple songs and can sing...just my thoughts.
