Well I gotta say so far so good and thanks to everyone from all these countries and many more that have stumbled across Arena Rock! Thanks and many more thanks to my wordpress peeps! Especially Mikey,Aaron,Rich,Scott,J,Sarca,Geoff,Jon,Joe who have been awesome and so supportive at commenting and posting articles of greatness themselves which you can see there awesome works of writing at there sites!
Back in October I succumbed and went on Facecrack after my pal from work Brother Bryce told me that’s he would read my babble wabble on Facebook! So once my post is here in WordPress I forward it to Facecrack and I have to say it’s been great especially as some people who I have not seen too much like Probie who takes the time from there busy days to read my b.s and comment and man that’s what it’s about or like others like Robbo who after reading my review on the Neurotic Outsiders went online and purchased it! That folks to me is Gold at doing this site or when Rock Star Super Paulie went out and bought Whitesnake Live In The Heart Of The City after I reviewed it on my Whitesnake week(remember thats the one when I dropped Priests Point Of Entry halfway thru Whitesnake week! Doh!)
Special mention must be made to Muc(Mr Ladano calls him Muc Lange!) who was the really the first guy that I know had bumped his record collection to about 100 records as a 14 year old in 1981 and comments quite frequently on my stuff on Facecrack! Thanks for commenting along Muc! Safe journeys out west Young Man!
Of Course Tbone as well. I think I told Sarca one time that Tbone was and is great Blog Fodder as he has ridden shotgun or well been the dude on many album,cd purchases through out the years. It was Tbones idea to do 3/4’s Filler and for that I have thrown him under the bus on a continous basis but he loves this shit! Honestly he does! Thanks T for not kicking my ass!
The Top 15 viewed Blogs was pretty cool to check out to see what was popular and to be fair I got some help as in the two 3/4’s Filler Kiss Week a Kiss Fansite in Germany linked my articles and the views just went thru the roof! ( props to the German Kiss Army) and also Helix’s Wild In the Streets had a ton of crazy views also and that was thanks to Mike Ladano who shared the Helix review to Helix Bassist Daryl Grays Facebook page and the views for that one went up as well! Thanks Mike and thanks Daryl!
Out of all the reviews I have scribbled(can’t call it writing ha!) the Black Crowes Stare It Cold is the one that is always getting views kinda awesome that it would be that one and well it’s a great live one! But it just keeps on gaining slowly but surely and passing others…..
Of course it was neat to see mine and Tbones old rock n booze outfit Current River crack the top 10 with our two 20 year old re released songs get views ) what’s more surprising was my story on Tbones wife Christine’s 40th Birthday Bash(When Love And Train Wrecks Collide) I still have nightmares of Tbone wearing that friggin Mop On his head!
Seriously though thanks folks……
