Haha. Right.....NOT. America is the best country in the world, that's why all the morons want to imigrate here. We don't see hoards of illegals trying to break into France etc.... Now, back to the topic....alcohol is served at all American venues....and again, some American shows are awesome, some are lame. I'd imagine same in EU, some are awesome, some are lame. And at the end of the day, why would someone in EU care about what the crowd is like in Kansas or vice versa? The whole 'my crowd is better than your crowd' debate seems fruitless. Who gives a rats ars? Go to your show and have fun! Don't worry about other shows. Let it go. Breath deep & relax.

JBJ has previously said UK crowds know all the words as where US crowds only know the chorus would you say that was true Seb ?

They just chat through the songs. Throughout the whole song. I think the difference is caused by the entire American market. All of America is focussed on the shortest attention spans possible. No TV show goes on longer than 10 minutes and then you get 10 minutes of commercials. With radio it's just the same. And when it's off the radio, it's out of their minds.

And yes, Jon is right when it comes to knowing the lyrics. What surprised me is the crowd reaction to Keep The Faith. In Europe everyone pumps their fist in the air during the chorus when the "FAITH!" part comes up. In America they still seem to be needing to win the crowd over with that song, not many people actually know the lyrics to other songs apart from the eighties hits.

Right...Hoards of illegals trying to break into France? What the **** are you on? If you had any idea of what's going on in Europe you wouldn't be so proudly proclaiming about all your morons that want to immigrate there. America is far from the best country in the world, but I reckon the only people thinking that are the people that have no idea what is happening in the rest of the world.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

The comment about France was too stupid to even start replying to.

very interesting remark .... I think it's very true it's like they are focusing on EASY stuff ..the fun is fast easy and pre digested no effort required is the key
then it turns like ppl will overly love a show for a tee shirt color or a wink .. and that's it ...

Right then this is down to politeness....

In the UK people dont talk when someone is singing and certainly not through a whole song, thats just plain rude and disrespectful.... whether it is a major rock band or the local band at the pub I wouldnt talk while the person is performing.

No wonder BJ are not playing rare songs stateside if they cant get a reaction to KTF.

You couldn't possibly have picked a worse country than France to make such a stupid, ill informed comment about you cretin.

BTW if you're going to throw around the word moron wantonly, you might want to spell imMigrate correctly in the same sentence.
