Tom Petty Fans airing out opinions about Stevie touring with Tom Petty.
Ya Tom Petty Fans on his board are airing out opinions about Stevie on touring
with him. Will everyone has a right to give out their opinions.alot of negative ones too.Hum .things like "BEAT IT STEVIE!!" and "well her site just said till the 9th I'm praying its true" Wow they hate her that much. We here are not like that with Tom. TP Board link. http://tompetty.infopop.cc/eve/forum...1/m/5671049851 |
In their defense, a lot of us were saying the same things about Don Henley last summer.
I, on the other hand, am totally bummed that Stevie probably won't be at Darien Lake on Tuesday.:distress: |
I don't think they really "hate" here. I think the TP fans have many of the same issues Mac fans do in that the setlist doesn't change much or at all. And they feel that Stevie being there cuts out the opportunity that TP will play something out of the blue or unexpected. Something they haven't heard in years or at all since it's his 30th anniversary. They just want Tom to dig deeper into his catelogue. Sure some don't like her and that's fine, but really, it's not like she's there for half the show singing away. And she's singing TP songs. And there's plenty that are standing up and saying they liked her being there.

F*** them! I hope Stevie doesn't continue touring with Tom Petty just so those people won't have the priviledge and honor of seeing her in person. His fans are really weird...i mean, how in the hell could you not love Stevie!!?? :mad:
|
we were all bitching (at least i was) about the tour with don last year, but i think this is completely different. she actually only sings (noticeably) on three songs, all of which are his - at least in part. if don was hanging around last summer to simply duet on a few songs, i may have actually looked forward to his presence.
and tom hasn't been messing with his setlist all tour. grrr, why do i feel like i need to defend Homegirl? ;) |

Obviously, you didn't bother to actually read the board before posting this drivel on here. If you actually look at what people are saying, the overall message is "We like Stevie, but - since this may be Tom's last tour - we just want to see the boys, not the boys AND Stevie Nicks." Even the person who said "BEAT IT STEVIE" goes on to explain that he/she thinks Tom might mix up the setlist more if she isn't there - the implication, of course, is that her presence obligates him to play "Stop Draggin My Heart Around," "Insider," and "I Need to Know." And without her, he can replace those with something else. Also, for every comment saying "I hope she isn't there," there's at least one more saying "I hope she is." Quote:

Oh thank God. Petty's fans don't have to live through sleepless nights worrying that Stevie's flying vagina of death will eat them alive during the concert.

Good God I can't believe I'm agreeing with you on something ;) But yeah - saying "F**k 'em?" ...a bit harsh. I can totally understand the frustration some Tom fans might have :shrug: And I've been a rabid Stevie fan for years now - I've come to terms with the fact that not everyone likes her, in fact there are many people who can't stand her (just like with EVERY artist). :shrug: And no one HAS to hate someone - they just sometimes to. I don't HAVE TO hate Mariah Carey, I just do (with a fiery passion) - and there are people who feel the same way about La Nicks. It's a fact of life - there will always be people who don't like/hate people that you happen to like/love. This life lesson brought to you by the letter T. I think it's great that Stevie fans get to see her this tour - but I can totally understand the Tom setiments as well :o |
Yea, my first outburst may have been a bit harsh, it was just my initial reaction to the Stevie backlashing on the TP forums. Although most people are saying they do like Stevie, the ones who don't, really don't, and i dunno, i'm just viewing it from my own Stevie fan perspective and not a Tom Petty fans' perspective.

Do your homework before you make judgements. |
Personally, I wish Tom would stop hogging Stevie's setlist. I mean c'mon, he sings with her on like four songs, and three of those are just harmony. The other 85% of the concert is just Tom doing a bunch of songs without Stevie. Stevie doesn't even do any of her own songs on stage! I know Tom's a special guest and all but that's just freakin' ridiculous! :mad:

You typed that response while I was typing mine. Don't worry I read it afterwards. I can't help the timing. :shrug: |

This lambasting of Tom Petty fans for--gosh! daring to speak on a message board devoted to Tom Petty!--is solipsistic. A lot of people hate Stevie Nicks & Fleetwood Mac. A lot of my very own friends & family hate Stevie Nicks & Fleetwood Mac. I'm sure the same is true of everyone. Are you going to work yourself up into a hissy-snit because of it? |

Totally kidding....I'm in a strange (lack of sleepish) mood. Forgive. :p |

Who cares. It's just a small handful of die hard Petty fans, who would probably say that about "anybody" that toured with him. I do have to laugh when I hear them say things like "you know that the set is always going to be the same when Stevie's there." :laugh: No guff. Us Stevie fans have had the same set list since 1983 :laugh:

I remember people bitching about Sheryl Crow on this board whenever she popped out on stage at a Stevie concert. It's all the same type of reaction. I don't expect everyone to love Stevie and I certainly don't care what Tom's devoted fans say about her on their fan forums. All I know is when I went to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers a couple of weeks ago - the crowd went ape **** for Stevie and so did I. We all had a great time and I wouldn't have gone if Stevie wasn't going to be there.
|
Well, on one hand, I can see the Petty fans' point. What if it was Stevie's last solo tour, would you want Don Henley there? :lol: Not exactly. Now if Lindsey showed up, that would be different. :lol: Different strokes for different folks, not everyone loves Stevie like some of us. :shrug:

Nice try, but no cigar. |

Certainly though, and like you said, most of the T.P. fans seem to really like Stevie... and even if they didn't, that's cool, too. We Nicks fans shouldn't get rattled every time someone comes along who doesn't like her. That's probably one of the biggest things that gives us such a bad reputation... though I'll add, for the millionth time, that we're certainly not the only fan community who's defensive and protective of their favorite artist. |

coughcoughsongbirdscoughcough :D |
I was hoping the tour would continue without Tom! :D
Seriously though, my initial reaction was "OMG how could anyone not want to see Stevie?" but that is of course b/c I'm a Stevie fan, not a Tom fan. I totally understand their perspective. When Stevie was touring with Don, I wanted it to only be her (which it was thankfully when she got to Cali) and even when she's with FM I perfer it be just Stevie so who can blame these people, they are die hard Tom fans. |
This is a bit harsh from one of the obviously hard-core TP fans but kind of funny at the same time:

So it's not even just diehards who complain about "special guests." :shocked: |

All I can say is that I can understand where the Tom Petty fans are coming from - if Tom Petty toured with Stevie on her last tour ever, I would want him to piss off so we could have more Stevie songs, even though I adore him :shrug:
