Re: Ginger gig in Bristol in Other Bands & Artists
Last post on this because im getting bored of it now. I said what ginger said at the gig, not after it. What ginger has posted on Twitter was out of line & im very disappointed personally that he reacted this way. Its a hark back to the bad old days of Ginger that we haven’t seen in years.
But im not talking to Ginger, Im talking to you. A guy who tweet the editor ofNME to bad mouth Ginger, a guy who posts messages about the Gingers sitting on his legacy because he wasn’t up for a single gig in your eyes. Despite many people at the same gig having a contrary opinion to you. A guy who seems to think he’s owed by someone he doesn’t even know…
But you clearly don’t see me opinion so I’ll leave it at that. You’ve succeeded in making Ginger look like a twat, which I guess was your intention. The problem is you’ve also made yourself look like a dick in the process

Yes your attitude Joel. Whilst I will not condone any of what Ginger said at this gig, I’m pretty certain he wont have been ranting & raving when he said it like you have been at him today. You say he has now apologized, I wonder if you have apologized to him? Because even if he started it, you & others escalated it with your abuse of him today.
Still, given you say that you don’t care whether one of your so called rock idols is having a hard time of it, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. Its just makes me a bit sad.

Re: Ginger gig in Bristol in Other Bands & Artists
Have to say Joel your attitude is pretty sh*t on this. To have an issue is one thing, but keep it between the two of you. Ginger is easy to contact at any time. But instead you’ve gone to every open forum you can find and slated the guy…
Having said that though Gingers response is equally disappointing.
One thing I would echo from SG5s post is the fact that for this tour he extended an open invitation to all fans who could not afford a ticket. Let him know & he would put them on the guest list free of charge. I cannot think of any other artist doing similar in the 15years I have been going to gigs. He also spends a huge amount of time almost daily answering fans questions on formspring. I don’t know many artists that put the same amount of effort in.
So he had a bad gig. It happens to every group (remember the Jagermeister gig T? Played??). Be a man about it and let it go. Instead think of the 16 years of great time he gave you, and accept people are human.
