Andrew, thought you might want to know...

Your MRCD9 tracks on CD1 are all out of order starting on the song before Robert Sall's track. Figured you might want to know so you can fix it.

Just listened some more, and I think there's only 4 or 5 tracks out of order. The last few seem right.

Jesus Christ, Jim, give the guy a break. He's listening to and reviewing Trixter: Live At Walmart.

Maybe Thats why i didnt like some of the tracks i thought for sure i would love

ONE track was mixed with the one before it. That's it. everything else is fine.

Which tracks did you like Jimbo, you must be pissed that there are no lost Chicago tracks on this one

You obviously didn't listen to the rest of the tracks. Click on Kelly Keagy's song and you hear "Mama's Kitchen". The song below that is wrong too.

P'OWNED!!!

Yeah, I am pissed that he couldn't get better demos from bands like Chicago... Honestly, other than the Robert Sall, and the Fran Cosmo songs, nothing really jumps out to me on CD1. I also find it very strange to hear a couple of country songs mixed in with the rock. They're WAY out of place. There's nothing wrong with promoting country on the site, but I would have made a separate disc for that.

The second cd, I like Redrum and Rock And Roll Sensation. That's it. I know many others will like a lot of the other songs, but they're not my cup of tea.

With that said (and it's just my own opinion), I hope Andrew sells a million of them. That way, maybe he'll finally finish the website he's been promising for years.

Did you listen to the bonus tracks? i didnt initially. My first impression of the melrock orchestra song was the chorus sounded cheesy. Listening to the 2nd version on the bonus part, the song sounds so much better without the layered extra vocals. Raine- splendid sounds interesting, the rock sugar song sounds good .I'd like to hear the rest of the 1st Michael riesenbeck song(not the instrumental) and the biggest surprise for me and probably the best song i heard out of the entire 3 cds worth of music is the phillip Bardowell song, I really like that one. Oddly i have listened to some of his solo stuff and i didnt care for any of the songs.

I thought for sure i was going to like the stuff from
Auras
kelly keagy
Robbie lablanc
bonrud
Shadowman
Salute
Aor
eric martenssen

Shockingly , i didnt care for any of it , the 2 Robbie lablanc songs just sounded like a different style of music compared to Blanc faces, i guess i was hoping it would be 2 more blanc faces songs.

Yeah, I was surprised too. With many of those names, I thought I would like more. I just don't care for them. They just seem like songs picked up from the cutting room floor that were leftovers not wanted for other projects. Not trying to be a dick here. Just being honest. Not like I had anything better to put on it! Lol!!

Jim - trying to or not - you really are a dick.

For not liking the cd or stating my opinion? Yeah, I can see how that makes me a dick. Go choke on a fucking kangaroo.

You know what you are doing. I'm logging off WTF and all further digs at me.

I tried to help you by pointing out the error on your front page. I'm sure the artists would appreciate you getting their tracks labeled correctly. You came in here in typical style and were an asshole about it instead of saying thanks and correcting it. It's your site. If you want to fuck it up and drive people away, go ahead.

I can't believe you can say that and not see the hypocrisy in such a statement. In case you've forgotten, you run Melodicrock.com and have allowed digs, barbs, slams and language so abusive it would make Mel Gibson blush! Yet, you can say that about what's been said about you on this site ... and you're running away?

Remember, you had the nerve to say the following to me (on here):

BUT....I will say that I have lost a HUGE amount of respect for you. HUGE. To be so up tight and pissy over this as to not even comment on ANY Dean thread, nor your own "Prayers For..." thread shows a deep level of contempt for those others that befriended you.

I cannot believe you made no post for Dean at his "home base". Appauling lack of apathy or just plain arrogance. Not sure which. Maybe both.

The above is not a "dig" either. It's a precise, direct, personal attack against my character. It is also, largely, unwarranted and baseless. But the folly of the whole thing is that you're playing God here. You're telling me how I should grieve for Dean and where I should do it. You also show an amount of brazenness that is unparalleled in both ignorance and due diligence. I won't bore you with the ways I reached out to Lula or how many people I contacted in PM or via text message to thank for the well-wishes posted (especially since I'm not doing it on YOUR board), but I will point out that this transparent narcissism and contempt on your part seems to stem from me leaving your board. I'm not sure if this is some bastardized version of postpartum depression, nor do I care. See, the thing is this, Andrew ... I keep my promises. Try doing the same (see "new board"). Regardless, as I've always stated, the people on your board come first, and I harbor no sour grapes. I'll be at your next Melodicrock Fest, should there be one, but I'd be self-suppressing and untruthful if I didn't tell you that I think you're a Grade A asshole. Now scurry along, as to not have to be distressed and tortured over the "digs" pointed your way here.

PS When you get the time, I'd appreciate a link in PM to the outpouring of grief over Dean's untimely passing by Jeff Scott Soto over at Dean's "home base." Especially considering Dean was that guy's mouthpiece, shield and sword. Not to mention his son Wyatt's Godfather. Looking forward to the link, buddy. Maybe I missed his eulogy.

I'm confused , i thought you did write something Dan, i could swear i read something, it just wasn't some overblown hypocrytical piece of garbage like some others wrote down.I think Soto did too, i believe it just wasnt written at MR i think there was a link to another site.

I had left Melodicrock for 5 full months before Dean's passing and my exit was final. Furthermore, I was feeling like absolute hell at his passing, and was admitted and spent a week in the hospital, starting exactly 4 days after his death. My mother's 68th birthday, February 26th, was his last day alive. And I didn't even make the couple hour drive to Chicago to see her. But none of that is important. Not posting on MR when, what and how Andrew wanted is, though.

I posted a few thoughts here about Dean and my hospitalization, but, more importantly, I shared a LOT of stories with friends via text, phone calls and e-mails. I felt no compulsion to publicly eulogize a guy that I considered a one-of-a-kind dude and an acquaintance. Some things just aren't for public consumption, and the majority of my stories and feelings about Dean fall under that category. I talked to and thanked people like Lynn, Melissa, Behshad, Natalie, Angela, Gayle, Jim, Rip, Crazy Deb, Ed, Ehwmatt, Ginger and a few others. It was good enough for me, and I'm pretty sure it was good enough for them, too. Whether it was good enough for Andrew is the absolute least of my worries.

All this being said, I think you should return. The board sorely misses your opinions.

You do, huh? Well *I* "think" that welfare trash should start getting jobs, that Israel should pack its shit and move out of The Middle East, that someone should use Hillary Clinton in a bestiality movie starring elephants and that Muhammad Ali should sit fucking still. None are gonna happen, though. And neither is my return to MR.

I knew i had read something.Grieving is a strange thing,people have many different ways of doing it some are common and some not so common, I never found any of them to be wrong or right, just a lot of variables that play with how someone reacts when someone they know or don't know dies. I didnt respond at all to Deanos death, and at the time i thought it was the appropriate thing to do given the circumstances i had in front of me.I don't think it was wrong but i could see how others might think that way.
