Has there already been a TD appreciation thread?

I agree. another missed opp. there's more missed opps in Stevie's closet than bondage equipment in mine! I mean...oh I just don't have the energy...see Paula's posts above...that's basically what I'd regurgitate anyway.

Ya it seems like they always get gipped, when a new cd is released, it's not like
the old days the radio airplay last for 3 or more months, now Stevie and FM might be lucky to get a month of airplay,they have to compete with the crap tunes now days we hear on the radio. hahaha and jingle bells.
The only way we hear our Stevie/FM tunes is hell with the radio.is to keep our Ipods loaded or listen to muzak at wal-mart,k-mart,etc and Mcdonalds as you chow down a big mac.at lease they will be heard from that source..

Yes. A missed opp. for sure. They should have led with Thrown Down as the lead single or the second one. And they should have pushed Destiny Rules for the release of the documentary.

They probably figured it wasn't getting airplay, so why bother. Stupid f*cking Jingle Bells.

I just want to add here that I made a point of calling and requesting Steal Your Heart Away every day. The DJs always said they'd play it, and I never heard it even once.

you know...I can't listen to this song because of the "it's the same old thing" part. why? not sure.

I guess it's because I expect him to say "it's the same old TING" - with an English accent (and I usually love English accents). and I don't even know where I heard that, but it grates on my nerves.

Funny thing. The other day I was at Mcdonalds and I "threwdown" a big Mac. I suppose that doesnt count?

that's totally cool - i didn't know that was how IKINW got on the setlist. it was a great add.

as for thrown down... totally should have been in the setlist. it was released as a single, fer goodness sake! same with steal your heart away. they're by far my two favourite songs on the album. i literally get goosebumps when she says "you can sit outside his door and wait... WEEEEELLLL you can dedicate your pain to him..."

damn. why the hell didn't they sing that live? can you imagine the dynamics it would have generated?

Whats the World Coming to is very "radio oriented" IMO and I think that could have been a huge hit.

BTW...a little off topic, but I thought Goodbye Baby was a beautiful closer.

I agree about the singles even if I liked Say You will, it was optimistic at least. Peacekeeper though sounded a tired rehash of too many things. I would have preferred even as a first single Say Goodbye, or if they had courage enough, Miranda.

About the concert I'll never understand why they included WTWCT. It became kryptonite for me after the first three gigs I listened to. Miranda live would have been so great.

I think it is a fantastic song in every respect, & I am really very hurt that you do not think so.

Love it! It's just so catchy, I could sing along with it any time!

She does get points for touring with almost the same number of new songs as Bella Donna. But it's a shame that she felt she had to apologize for performing new songs, which she occasionally did on the TISL tour.

Regarding SYW single releases, I think Peacekeeper and Say You Will were the strongest contenders, at least the most commercial and accessible. Running Through The Garden, Thrown Down, and Steal Your Heart Away were all sent to radio. But all tanked.

Yeah, she did the same thing when she sang some of the more obscure tunes during the 'Enchanted' tour. I've watched and/or listened to several of the boots and I've thought, "don't apologize, Stevie -- just sing it." Of course, from her vantage point... standing on stage, watching people run off to get another beer or use the restrooms during the unfamiliar stuff... maybe one gets the feeling that they should apologize for not keeping people near their seats.

Having been on stage a few times in my life (puff puff) audience reaction is like a heorine shot in the arm. So, if you get a huge reaction from doing something, you are going to keep on doing it

I found it trite - or at least the sentiment in it. I also found the music boring as the lyrics - everyone's gone to the moon, what's the world coming to.

But, I will say this, it was better live and that is a kudo to him.

Finally, many like the song, so what the hell do I know
