I'm so glad to hear they are still rockin' I found this site completely by accident, btw. LOLOL Happy I did. ]]> 440518@blogcritics.org Mon, 11 Sep 2006 19:31:00 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/12/09/092030.php#comment-102637 I think people were a wee bit less critical about Girlschool first time 'round because they were a rarity (ie all woman band). Anyway, sod what they have done in the past, this lot rock now! ]]> 102637@blogcritics.org Fri, 10 Dec 2004 13:00:49 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/12/09/092030.php#comment-102632 I tend to think a band who have been around for 20+ years are more likely to give a good show that a current "flavour of the month" band. Any band who are crap live are simply not going to be touring after 20 or 30 years. ]]> 102632@blogcritics.org Fri, 10 Dec 2004 12:56:55 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/12/09/092030.php#comment-102616 They seem to be better than they were before...maybe I just saw on a bad night the first time. The difference between their two performances was enormous. It always amuses me that some people think watching a "mature" band that was first around 20 years ago (or more) means that one is lowering one's standards. More often than not, it just the opposite. All that time generally means the musicians are more skilled, more laid back and are free from the bullshit that often happens in the business. I like seeing a band that are up there having a f***ing good time. Older bands seem to do that better than the younger ones, at least these days. ]]> 102616@blogcritics.org Fri, 10 Dec 2004 09:19:34 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/12/09/092030.php#comment-102596 I agree. Girlschool is a great band. Their performance her (in Seattle) rocked. Maybe they are better than ever. peaceloveguidance ]]> 102596@blogcritics.org Fri, 10 Dec 2004 04:16:39 EST
