Stevie's fans vs. Deadheads
 
Someone asked me today who had a more loyal fan base and to tell you it's hard to say because
both groups of fans hold each performer is such high reguard. I know you can't compare the
deadheads to anyone but if you think about stevie's fans and the following she has had since the 70's
then you can tell that her fans are like no other. I think they match up pretty well...it's a tie.

I'd have to think the Deadheads are a bigger group. They've certainly been around longer. Stevie fans sure would give them a run for their money when it comes to rabidity though! :lol:

Lets put it this way Gerry Garcia is dead and they still go to the concerts.

The Dead were famous for:
1. Performing 3 hour shows
2. Performing different songs every night of their tours
3. Encouraging their fans to audio tape the shows


If Stevie did these things, I would go to many more shows. Wouldn't you?

No kidding! Exactly why I haven't seen Stevie or the Mac since Stevie toured with Tom Petty in '06 I think it was?

Methinks someone is overrating the relevance & significance of "Night Of a Thousand Stevies" JUST a smidge.

Yeah, sorry, but it's probably clearly the Dead fans though.

Rabidity? It ain't easy to be a rabid Deadhead fan when your completely toasted.:laugh:

I gotta say that its the Deadheads. My step dad went to a Grateful Dead concert and was selling acid to the hippies and took what as left and passed out, he woke up without his hat. (Something along those lines). I like some of the songs by them but haven't really gotten into them, I have a greatest hits of them. i read that alot of famous people are Deadheads, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, etc.

GREAT POINTS! The distinction is vast. Aren't Stevie fanatics know as Chiffon Heads?

StreetAngel95 03-14-2010 05:47 PM

i think Stevie Nicks is an acquired taste. Many people i know can't stand her looks or her "goat-like" voice. Also, my dad doesn't really like how some of her songs can be 7 minutes long in studio form and he says she overuses 'well". HAHAHAH

But definetly, for the Stevie fans that exist, they are the best and most loyal!

The coke-heads always beat the stoners! We stay energized throughout our shows and buy lots of merchandise while the dead heads nod off and make multiple trips to the snack bar. :laugh:

Glad you liked it! :blob2:

These two fan bases are too different to compare. You should try comparing Eagles/Mac fans maybe.
