Tribute to Danko Jones

[Danko Jane]

I was lately thinking about my passion for Danko Jones (the Band) and why I have the need to support them in everyway that I can (and therefore am at every Gig they play in Switzerland)

Here is my result why I respect and love this Band:

- First of all they do some kick ass rock'n'roll I can shake my ass to
- the music and the lyrics let me forget my everyday problems and automatically set my mood to good ;D
- They like and do spend time with their Fans and are interested in feedbacks only Fans can give
- For them It's not about selling records (it's only a bonus for all the hard work), it's all about the Love for Music and the Love for playing Live Gigs
- They still are friendly, laidback and down to Earth guys who just love to do what they do

I know DJ now since the release of BORN A LION, I have seen and heard the different Changes they went through these years and still have the same respect and Love for this Band as I did at that very first day I read an article (which I still own) about them.

Danko Jones is and will always be a part of my Life, whatever happens

Well put, Danko Jane. Your enthusiasm is exactly what fuels the band. Each day they reach at least one more person who realizes there is something different, something special about this band. I agree, the band does an unbelievable job of interacting with fans and playing live Gigs.

Because we are all biased, we think they do everything perfect. Which they do. I love their onstage performance, their studio releases, they way they go about their business, their offstage demeanor, and their ability to simply kick ass.

So, one day, I hope there is a REAL tribute to Danko Jones. Until then, this is a perfect thread.

I pretty much feel what danko jane is feelin, but considering that I've been a fan longer....and that there are fans out there who have been fans before me....and we all still pretty much feel the same, I think it speaks volumes.
I've been going to shows for years...and I still can't wait to go when they come to town.
I think they have mad heart. They tour all over the world, come hell or high water...they throw 150% of themselves into the shows, whether there are 10 people or 1000 people there.
As soon as I throw on a cd or show up at a show....I'm right back there, at my first show, thinking "Hot damn this is freakin amazing".
Yep.
That sounded like a whole lot of ass kissing. But it wasn't boastin, it was just truthin.
They aren't perfect I'm sure, but who is?
Even if they were to change, and I din't like them anymore...I'd still appreciate the times I got to see their shows and I'd still listen to the music I have because its great.
I feel like they're what rock and roll should be.
