I laugh about this now, but at the time I didn't find it too funny. Way back in Sept. I had joined a few other music boards in an endless effort to spread the word about Danko Jones, and, hopefully pick up a few members for this board. On one such site, i received one reply, it was from a fellow canadian, it made me very angry...so here it is, first is my post...then the reply: .............................................. An old newbie here. Guess u could say that I've been a r&r nut since Elvis' time...so after all those years the music died in my souul sometime in the 80's... but now 'I'm Alive and on Fire' since my discovery of Danko Jones' hot hard rawkin sound. Wow, check out this band...punk, rock, blues interlaced with power. I've linked some songs in the listen section, and I've created a message board in their honor. Cheers, rock shithot!! ........................................................................................... He's alright......I've heard of him referred to as a "no chops Hendrix" before, which is a pretty accurate description if you've ever seen him play live before.
He's got a shtick and he does that shtick pretty well. So if that shtick is your thang then GREAT!!! If not, then I apologize of behalf of Canadians everywhere

Some people like to talk sh*t, even when they don't know what they're talking about. It's pretty sad they go "it sucks" without giving a reason or something to base their oppinions on.
But when i love something I love it regarless of what people might spit out or think about it. If someone has an opinion different than mine and gives reasons, it's totally fine, we're not all sheep nor have to be and think alike.
I keep loving Danko Jones and spreading the word, even if some dudes fail to enjoy this band as much as I do.

Well u know JFJ I was going to slam him back, but then I figured its just ignorance on his behalf or something. He is entitled to his opinion, but this apology on behalf of canadians everywhere was the kicker for me. Fortunately not all Canadians are like him, jeez. But yeah feel free, but you prolly need to join to post . Its on page 10, rants and raves section: www.gloriousnoise.com/bb/index.php

Like everyone, he has his opinion on the band. There are A LOT of bands out there, loved by many, but hated by me. However, I do not feel the need to apologize on behalf of an ENTIRE country for ANYTHING. That guy can take his "schtik" and shove it up his own ass.
Rock shit hot, dad, rock shit hot.
P.S. For all of us kids (at heart) I think this is my 69th post, so I tried to make it a good one.

Just trying to make you proud, dad. I am still madly in anger with the guy who replied that way! For the record, I did not think of "madly in anger with." A one, James Hetfield did, I am merely using it to prove a point

I can't wait till somebody starts a website called 'Danko Jones Sucks' cause that will mean they've truly made it.

still strange your post got only 1 reply... It's not a bad idea though...checking out other boards opinions about DJ... I checked out the Rolling Stones board some while ago & one guy asked about what the Stones fans thought of DJ opening for them... He got a couple of quite positive reply's

YEAH! we're a c8-)8-)l bunch!
other thing I noticed is that we all share alot of the same interests & stuff. Maybe you're right...there is something like a Danko Jones fan profile...
But they are (still) rare (equals) cool! ;D
