From Cheese16@webtv.net Mon Jun 15 22:26:21 1998 I think Peter is full of crap!!!! The Goo Goo Dolls are way coller than the Hip. For all of you out there who aren't sure of who the Hip are, THEY SUCK!!!!! I recently moved way down to Florida thinking that the Goo experience was a Western New York thing.WRONG! I manage in a music store and I get all kinds of people in the store asking about the Goo Goo Dolls. I know that they aren't Goo Heads like most of us from around Buffalo, but they truely do appreciate the talent our group has. I play ALL of the Goo albums in our store (Camelot Music, cheap plug) ALOT, and get a great reaction from everyone. When I tell people about the Goo Goo Dolls having a new album coming out soon, and tell people about all of the times I've met the Goo's and talked w/ them you can see the pure electricity in their eyes. So no one can tell me that the Go Goo Dolls cannot have as "great" a following as "ThE TrAgIcAlLy HiP" End of subject. See Ya, Cheese From rphpeet@nf.sympatico.ca Tue Jun 16 07:49:37 1998 Go to the next show in memory of those who have been dying to go for over 2 years and cant cuz they live in stupid Atlantic Canada provinces (ie. Me & Devin). Look--Devin-- there is actually someone else up here!!! From bc154@FreeNet.Carleton.CA Tue Jun 16 10:18:00 1998 I live in Ottawa, which is not exactly a backwater hick town, and still been foiled both times I tried to see the Goos. The first time, they were playing at a joint called Barrymore's which is licensed, and I was only 17 at the time. I was gonna give it a try anyway, but the Goos cancelled because of an illness in the family. Then, they played Ottawa the follwing summer, again at Barrymore's, but it was a secret because it was one of those stupid Molson Blind Date concerts, so I didn't hear about it until the day after! God, I hope after the release of Dizzy Up the Girl the Goos will finally come back. I can actually get into Barrymore's now, but I still hope they would play a larger venue then that little piece of crap club. Anyway, the point is, you can still be a huge Goo fan without having seen them in concert. -Dan S. From rphpeet@nf.sympatico.ca Wed Jun 17 07:21:56 1998 I completely agree with you. Seeing them would just be an added bonus (Anyone know if Robby reads this stuff, heehee) LITTLE ISLAND PROVINCES. Man, do I ever shut up about this??? Anyone know what kinda food Rob likes? I told him if the Goos played here I'd make him macoroni and cheese, but he didnt seem to excited. Maybe if I find out what he likes and THEN ask, then he'll come. Imagine if the GGDs came to my house for dinner...I'd have an asthma attack, I know I would. Heidi From rphpeet@nf.sympatico.ca Tue Jun 16 07:49:37 1998 heehee...they do suck...i gotta agree with you here From eaf@fabiano.com Tue Jun 16 09:08:30 1998 You couldn't possibly be using the word suck to describe the Tragically Hip Nah that would make you an narrow minded moron. Ed From blue@nospam.spamfree.org Tue Jun 16 16:24:33 1998 It's called, "I don't like your damn music." From eaf@fabiano.com Wed Jun 17 09:29:01 1998 That's Fine. I can accept the fact that you don't care for their music but to say they suck discredits everyone else that finds enjoyment in their music. I personally don't care for the Dave Mathews band and it seems like a ton of people think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. But for me to say "Dave Matthews Sucks!" would be a unfair slam on all the people who really like his music and that's narrow minded and indignant. Ed From rphpeet@nf.sympatico.ca Wed Jun 17 11:47:34 1998 Ed, I'm sorry, I know what its like when someone puts down your music. The Hip are good musicians, I will give them that, I'm just not quite into what they do. Heidi From Cheese16@webtv.net Tue Jun 16 18:36:20 1998 Ed,I believe that you and Peter are out numbered on the debate about the quality of music the hip put out, THEY TRUELY DO SUCK, FACE IT. Now stop the whining and go to the hip newsgroup, you freak, or do the Hip even HAVE a newsgroup????? Keep on rockin' the house all of you who agree with me! See Ya, Cheese From zipdrive@iname.com Tue Jun 16 15:27:59 1998 Pete, the Goo Goo Dolls have been around for years too....like over a decade now. They've always kicked out awesome CD's. Karen From ptmcnee@aol.com Wed Jun 17 06:40:59 1998 I've never even heard Tragically Hip....I've heard OF them, but have no idea what they sound like so can't really say if they are good or not, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. (I'm certain I would think the Goo's were the best though. :)) I've never heard them on the radio or anything here in Chicago but, most likely I have heard them and just don't know it yet. The Hip might have a large following in Canada, but I'm not so sure about around here. Theresa From rphpeet@nf.sympatico.ca Wed Jun 17 11:47:33 1998 The Hip have a super large following in Canada, but even they admit to being almost unknown in the US. It looks like the Goos are a lot bigger in the US, or in the NY area at least, than they are here. I guess it all depends on where you are from...a lot of ppl try and support home-grown talent before anything else. Heidi From zipdrive@iname.com Thu Jun 18 18:29:11 1998 Pete, I've never listened to the Tragically Hip before, but I think I'm going to have a listen. I've heard a lot of talk about them lately, so I want to hear for myself. To the others, please don't say that a band sucks or similar comments. It hurts my feelings because that band probably has a close following of fans somewhere like we are huge goo fans. Just imagine if someone somewhere (ie. a Tragically Hip newsgroup) was complaining about "how much the goo's suck" (in their opinion). Karen From Cheese16@webtv.net Fri Jun 19 18:25:20 1998 I apologize to all of the people with thin skin who took offense to my comment that the "hip suck". It' just that I have a freind who loves the Hip and he won't shut up about them, and is constatly putting down the Goo Goo Dolls, therefore I am btter about the Hip. They must have SOME talent to have made it as far as they did, it is just that I prefer not to hear their music, to say "they suck" was pretty harsh. I must say that saying that the Hip have a "global" followng is a little crazy though, look how many of us on this newsgroup have never heard of them, or don't like them! And as I have stated many times before, I live in Florida and the Goo Goo Dolls have a big following here as well as in western New York, so do not discredit the Goo Goo Dolls popularity!! I also would like to say that we did manage to get quite a response to our opinions displayed on the newsgroup. You can only agree to something so much, a little disagreement, or difference of opinion can go a long way. See Ya, Cheese
