Um, no. I never said he wasn't a talented musician. Hell, I absolutely loved the last album he put out. I'm saying that based on the DVD (which was from 2 shows- one that looks like an opening slot for Avril in Japan and one a headliner in Atlanta), his stage antics would appeal to me if I was a teenage girl (which I am neither). I've seen plenty of concert footage from bands that I liked, but afterwards thought there's no real need to see them live. I'd say FoW, but that's for another thread. On the flipside, I've also seen several live shows on TV/DVD from bands that made me instant fans. -----Original Message----- From: audities-owner@smoe.org on behalf of Steve Sent: Fri 2/15/2008 8:47 PM To: audities@smoe.org Subject: Re: Butch Walker Live Download Ohhh...that's kind of like judging WAR AND PEACE by the cliffs notes. -----Original Message----- From: audities-owner@smoe.org [mailto:audities-owner@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Kouzes Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 8:33 AM To: audities@smoe.org Subject: Re: Butch Walker Live Download I recently watched the live Butch Walker DVD and came away thinking he's one act I never have to see live. Way to over-the-top and theatrical (in an emo kinda way and not the Peter-Gabriel-in-a-fox-mask kind of way). I've been a fan of Butch's for a long time, but my enthusiasm for him dropped a notch after watching the video. -----Original Message----- From: audities-owner@smoe.org [mailto:audities-owner@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Michael McCartney Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 9:07 AM To: audities@smoe.org Subject: Re: Butch Walker Live Download Count me in as a fan of Butch Walker. This guy really delievers in a live performance. I took my sister and neice to see him a few years back when his "Letters" album had been out for over a year. They had never heard of him or had much of an interest but since I was visiting from out of town - I told them it was my treat. They reluctantly tagged along. They were floored by him and my niece freaked out at how "awesome" he was. She was even more blown away by the fact that Butch actually took a photograph with her. He got two new fans for life that night. I should also add that his band that night was American Hi-Fi. Both the band and Butch were really nice humble bunch of guys with a great sense of humor. A friend of mine has flown out of Hawaii several times to see Butch in concert. If he ever hits your area. Check him out. Aloha, Michael McCartney KEAO FM / KONI FM / KPMW FM / KTOH FM P.S.
