Whoa, a little out of my own element here. Truth is I went down to Lucky to see my Cuz play in Amps To 11. Here's the rundown:
I really didn't like 3 Night Stand. I found it a little... uhhh... Good musicians mind you, but sure not my thing. The Stone Temple Pilots cover and dancing geeks in monkey suits didn't help the cause either.

I really thought that I wasn't gonna like Amps To 11 either. There is nothing worse than telling a friend or reletive that their band reeks. Thankfully I didn't have to. Once again it wasn't the style that I would normally listen to, but I was bobbin' my head to it. I would peg them as a combo of Seaweed with a little Black Halos thrown in. Pretty cool tunes with some funny lyrics.
Criticsism: Lose the wacky harmonica song and the sit down acoustic number. It drags the set down.

Both bands: You don't have to tell the crowd who you are after every song. The beginning and end of your set should be fine. - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 3:03am
Justin Well, i guess we can't impress everyone mr.strangehold
but the it was all in good fun! i had fun and the 150 plus people had fun... too bad you didn't like us... but next time you might. and i am pretty sure you like the monkey suit.. don't deny your true feelings.
oh and another thing, Everyone a fucking crictic in this place - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 2:33pm
Justin again...sorry hey i didn't get a chance to say i enjoyed amps to eleven's set too. but Ty, the acoustic song was very good... it was a good change of tempo. not everything always need to grab you by your nut sack and say hey... there's other ways. You know what i mean? anyways, that's enough from me... just thanks to all that came to the show and thanks to lucky for lettting us play the show! - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 2:37pm

Patrick Go Justin!!!! Frank really did the monkey-suit thing then, eh? That crazy German! - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 12:14am
brooke Ty was reviewing a show, you don't need to be so defensive- it's his opinion. It bugs me when people get angry about bad reviews... I'd like to see a lot more critical, honest reviews in this section and it seems like they get in the way. Oh well. - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 4:57pm
Pencil Neck Geek After the "sit down acoustic set", they should have smashed the acoustics over the geeky monkee's heads and lit them on fire; Like Hendrix. - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 6:21pm
Anonymous Light the guitars on fire or the monkey's heads? - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 6:25pm
Pencil Neck Geek The Guitars! I'm sure the suits were cheap and combustible..they would have taken care of themselves - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 6:42pm

No, the monkey guys were the first band, and the sit down acoustic number was the second band. Athough they could have set their gits on fire and hunted down the monkeys...

Anyways, thanks brooke for saying what needs to be said in the "Show Review" section.
It's all opinions. - Thu, 23 Jan 2003 3:59am
do you know? I need to set things straight... matt is probably gonna kill me for this but, its been bothering me for a couple days. I didn't mean to be so defensive about your opinion "Ty". I know its everyone's own opinion in this section, i was in a bad mood that day(various shit that don't matter to me anymore). I shouldn't have gotten so defensive in the matter. Anyways, with that i'll leave and won't bother any of you again... and as for the monkey suit, at least he had to balls to put that on and sweat it out for a mintue... cause i sure as hell wouldn't have :) - Thu, 23 Jan 2003 2:29pm
Ty's Mom Hey everybody... I'm just typing from 3 night stands house... but after I got through with them I guess they are going to have to change their name to 8 night stand. By the way Ty I don't appreciate calling me 'the geek in the monkey suit' I wasn't wearing a monkey suit and I'm your mother damnit.... at least I think I am - Thu, 23 Jan 2003 6:31pm

WOW..... lots of arguing. I am the drummer in AMPS TO ElEVEN and I just gotta say that was a fucking awesome gig!!!! 3 night stand, did I great job ( I asked them to play the gig, because I think they rip), they are wicked musicians (especially considering I think they have only been together for like 2 months or something). So thanks to them. Ty, I think honest opinions need to be expressed in here and that's what you did so codos. Glad to hear that you did't have to tell drew he sucked (he is such a frail young man.... he's going to kill me.) I think a dynamic set is good and the acoustic song might be or best track so thanks Justin for appreciating that. I do love to see some heads butt in this section, and honest is always the best policy.
Cheers
PS- Come out to an early all ages show this Sunday at Soundgarden to check out AMPS TO ELEVEN if you already haven't. - Thu, 23 Jan 2003 8:25pm

Geez Mom, I told you not come on the messageboard anymore. The reason being that NO ONE wants to hear a thin-skinned monkey cry over the teeniest bit of criticism.

Oh, it's just Ty, not "Ty"

A bad review is better than no review at all, right? - Thu, 23 Jan 2003 9:30pm
Brian Hey Ty in all fairness... it was me who posted that message about your mom and not anyone who was at that show that night.... So I'm the sad monkey =( - Fri, 24 Jan 2003 12:02am
