Has any one here seen them live? the reviews from people I know are kinda mixed!


According to my Zone Mail http://www.Zone.FM

"Sloan is coming to town on October 19, 2003, to play Legends.

Tickets are $20.00 each, and will go on sale Monday at the Strathchona Hotel and Lyle's Place. " - Sat, 13 Sep 2003 12:10am

They haven't had a good studio album since their first release and their live shows are all "posey posey" boring! - Sat, 13 Sep 2003 5:53pm

I've seen Sloan live 5 times, and i wouldn't miss the chance to see them again. They put on a most entertaining show. Sloan rules. I highly suggest you go. - Sun, 14 Sep 2003 2:29pm

I saw Sloan when they toured with the Inbreeds (1995? Was this the show you saw Knifeghost? At Uvic?)

They aren't worth $20 since they really suck now. To be honest though, they have no stage performance talent unless you call standing in the same spot talent. Aren't they more of a girl's kinda band now? I can imagine a bunch of 14 year olds swarming them for some reason. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 4:38pm

You know dick about music if you think Sloan possesses no musical talent or performing abilities. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 5:30pm

so quick to shoot one's opinion down. Yet your opinion, in my opinion, is a load of shit too... sloan is good, but the way you've presented yourself and opinion makes you look like an ass cause really you don't know dick about music - Fri, 19 Sep 2003 11:39am

They know how to play their instruments really really well but they still don't rock. This is the fate of many bands: when they start out they sound great (energy wise) but as they progress in their music capabilities they loose their appeal and end up sounding dull and common. Their new songs all sound the same.


I still stand by my comment that they aren't entertaining live (not when I saw them at least). All they did was stand and sing: nothing exciting. - Fri, 19 Sep 2003 1:32pm
