Subject: what you didn't know but should
look guys, don't don't don't do an interview without knowing about what bloody sunday was in actual fact and what an iron maiden is in truth. no offense but you looked painfully naive and, for an outspoken/self-righteous girl goth band, that ain't a pretty sight. Visit the following sites NOW (in that order)
http://larkspirit.com/bloodysunday/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Maiden_(torture_device)
Take this as constructive criticism rather than a personal slag on you ok.

Eurgh, in advance I apologise, I'm not normally one to reply to loserish messages in a catty fashion. However, I can't help it when someone posts a message in a condescending manner, obviously thinking they're above everyone else.
I’d like to point out a few things; firstly constructive criticism on what? On how it’s necessary to have a certain knowledge of world history/events before giving an interview about music?
I think if you had been a little more thorough in your attempt to ‘educate’ the band then you would have included the other eight ‘Bloody Sunday’ massacres which have held important historical significance. Maybe *you* should check out; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Sunday
“You're totally elitist. You feel like the unappreciated scholar … So you shit on
the people who know less than you.”
Finally, I’d love to know who you are ‘Jon’ so I could ask you how you have gained so much experience of giving interviews.
Tron
PS …and well done on the Dark Angel project btw Leanne, Suze told me the good news so I thought I’d check out the site. Sorry that it resulted in me leaving a negative post!

I haven't actually read this interview yet but we just said that the name follows the same format as certain other classic rock band names. Blood - nasty. Sundaes - nice. Like guns. And roses. Kind of thing. Iron Maiden can also be looked at in this format though yes it is also a torture device. Reminds me of that bit in Bill and Ted where they go 'put them in the iron maiden' and Bill and Ted go 'Iron Maiden?' and do air guitar.
Our name is nothing to do with Bloody Sunday. Hence the 'e'.
Cheers for the visit though Jon!

hey hey :)
thanx tron!! wow wise words there :D i dont think i understood them all but i thanku!! heheeeeeee susietron mite be doing the project too...i spoke to ankha n she is interested :) and to jon, if u ever do actually visit us again, we dont have a problem with people saying things aslong as its constructive! if u had a problem with our music or ne thing and came on and said well i think the guitars need more of this or drums should concentrate on this or even said why is your name blood sundae etc thatd be fine, itd be good even we need critisim to improve, but you purposefully came on to 'wind' us up. If you were just informing us rather than mocking us then the way in which you spoke to us wouldnt have been so condescending, I'm sorry we caused offence, but to be honest so did you, and we didnt go out of our way to find your webpage/email just to tell u that.

Re: what you didn't know but should -- vanessa, 21:29:47 11/03/05 Thu [1]
are u thick? ...yes..yes i think u maybe as the reason why 'bloody sunday' was mentioned in the interview was because the interviewer asked us what reference our name was...and the reply was that many interviewers ask this question thinking we named our band in reference to 'bloody sunday' a u2 song..and the u2 song was about the bloody sunday massacres....i answered no. Do u get it now? I was disassociating our name with the issue. And iron maiden? r u having a laugh! Yes we all know wot an iron maiden is but r u so narrow-minded and stupid to think that it can also be a comparison of works in juxtaposition to each other meaning opposite things..hense blood and sundaE!!!
Since u were so thoughtful in giving us a nice lesson i thought i'd return the favour...
aw...dont u think u should lighten up jon? Am sure you've read worse reviews from other bands..and so u post abuse on their message boards as well? lol if u leave ur address we can send u a badge? lol

me again -- Jon, 15:45:38 11/04/05 Fri [1]
hmm, interesting, well I'm glad that wound you up. No you're actually the first forum i've wasted my time on but, since you feel like being petulent, I just shan't bother in future. Evidently you'd rather everyone only had lovely fluffy things to say.
don't bother replying, i shan't visit your site again,
J

before dignifying that with a response, I suggest you read a dictionary...it's a book full of words and what they mean...
...shit, that didn't sound too patronising did it?

was i the only one who saw that actually as constructive critisims.wether right or wrong i dont feel there was any need for the abuse Jon (whoever he may be) got in return.
oh btw... Guns an Roses were named that because of Traci Gunns and Axl Rose.

I thought that too - but then he really should have read the interview properly if he was going to comment on it ... Kids eh? It's always 6 of one and half a dozen of the other!...
