"Fans" that make you go hummmmmm....

Ever have a fan come up to you and say something that made you go, "hummmmm?"

At one gig I had this older couple come up to me and say they really enjoyed us. They were surprised cause they heard we sucked.

I got a giggle out of that one.

Anyone else ever get some words of wisdom from your beloved fans??

I've never heard that you guys...err ladies suck....

But, I got a kick out of something similiar to this on myspace with the new local thing where people can rate the local businesses. Most give us any where from a B to an A+ (well, I have to admit, I rated us an A+)..but anyway, there was one rating of a F. This particular person has never been to our place. She frequents another venue. Now, I don't mind that she prefers another venue...each to their own. But why would you bash one that you don't come to? As far as I know, she's never been to our place in the 4 years that we've owned it.

Lisa, it sounds like someone is very good friends with the "other bar." Kinda immature to give you a low rating just because they prefer a different establishment. People are that way with bands too.

Some people will say a band sucks if they don't like anything they play or they don't like the genre. The band can be tight and sound great and put on a killer show but if someone doesn't like the type of music they do they automatically suck.

Or if they're friends with one band they can't like another band. So they bash you. There's room for everyone in the business. If we all played the same tunes or if a restaurant served the same food what fun is that??

I've been told many times that I can't like Overkill AND Led Zeppelin, or I can't like Bad Daze AND Fed Up. Why the fuck not?

I lean towards heavier stuff, but I liked to be entertained and have a good time. I go see ALOT of local bands and there's only 1 or 2 that I thought sucked. Even so, I'd never tell anyone who they were. If you cant say something nice....

BTW, the bands I thought sucked aren't even playing anymore, that I know of. So nobody here has to worry, lol.

My favorite of all time ( I usually here it once every 3 shows) - "wow, you really jump around and get into it for being such a big guy!" haha!

OR "I usually don't like that screaming, head-banging shit, but you guys were actually ok"- Gee thanks.

My advice- Do what you like and do what makes you feel good. Fuck the haters.
