[Stan Drews]

C&C are the best!

I too am a big fan of C&C - why they're a veritable music factory! (Crap joke aside, think they're both cool AF)

 

[Phranc & Open]

Agreed, she's a bit of a clown

But the goth rock pic is kind of cool. I'm playing easy to get, I know.

No encore? Something else?

Encore was We Hate It.

 

[On his way out]

That shadowy scuffle in Jack the Ripper was a little haunting

Ahh, Im Playing Easy To Get, if only they would play that.

 

[Malarkey]

Nope. It’s all about the retirement money at this stage. Or until he gets BOT out.

I can't see these being retirement money earning tours & the only companies interested in BOTs earn their living by scrounging - which takes a lot of content. He's had 1 song & 3 clips that did well with their audience for a day & 3 that lost him a couple of fans & went nowhere.

Ye Encore was We Hate It...

I thought it was a great show! I still put it behind the times I've seen him in 02, 12 and 06 but better than any others I've seen. The sound was loud and Camila was drowned out a bit on the keys but it was still clear enough. Can't comment on the sound from night 1 but this was definitely not bad.

Yeah the setlist is a bit stale if you've been following everything he does like a hawk, but not everyone are freaks like us and I reckon the vast majority of the audience got a set they loved. Personally I do wish it was changed up a bit, there's a few that have more than overstayed their welcome...glaring at Alma specifically.

As mentioned before I thought Carmen was amazing, a real stand out in the band. She has a rock star swagger to her and brought a much rockier edge to some of the tracks. BB has grown on me too, I thought he was great .. still miss Matt Walker on the drums though. All in all it was a great show and he was in good spirits

Amazing gig. Best I’ve seen him. I’ve a bunch of photos/video to post up from tonight’s gig - I can’t see any easy way to post directly from my camera roll?

Ahh, Im Playing Easy To Get, if only they would play that.

I am a simple man
Not much to gain or lose
"Older and wiser"
Never applies to me

Ok, that's something for the Alain Whyte band.

 

[Mimi Ramone]

Hmm, maybe:
- Self release two albums/buy BOT back
- Fire all yes-men around
- Give proper interviews with real journalists
- Do proper promotion
- Change up the setlist
- Make up with some old acquaintances
- Self reflect/Take responsibility/be honest
- Kill M Central
- Give real explanation why shows are cancelled on short notice
- Don't cancel
