Jinder Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi all, Could you please, please, please do my band of fellow Gibson players (THE MERCURYMEN) and I a huge favour and lend us your vote? We're in the finals of a competition to open for Bon Jovi at Twickenham Stadium (for non UK-ers, it's a 60,000 capacity stadium in London), but the final decision rests on an online vote, and we're in desperate need of your help in order to get through and play the biggest gig of our lives! You can vote online at: www.thelondonpaper.com/bonjovi and votes are, sadly, limited to one per computer...thanks SO much in advance to anyone who gives us a click. I promise I'll mention the Gibson forum from the stage in front of 60,000 people if we make it through!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 happy to oblige! good luck. BTW, i can't stand bon jovi but, i like you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks for voting, Jannusguy!! And thanks for the kind words. To be honest I'm not a Bon Jovi fan either...and that black Takamine has GOT to go!! But it'd be so amazing to play in a venue like that, to so many people.

guitarstrummer Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 My vote's been cast. You might want to mention the name of your band so everyone will know. It's the Mercury Men, isn't it? Hope so, otherwise I voted for the wrong band. I know it's in your signature line, but some may not catch it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 i'll bet it would be. i have a friend locally that played wembly a couple of times with his band and he said it was amazing. good luck and have a good photographer if you win! rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefleppard Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 CH' date=' that sounds a little snobby! [/quote'] sorry, JG. not to offend but that pickup makes the guitar sound like snapping a rubberband on a piece of cardboard. maybe, though, i'm just a bit jealous. don't tell robin! i have a good cheap trick story. well, good to me anyway. i was 13 years old and the trick were playing at london (ont) gardens on the budokan tour, summer '79. my mom wouldn't let me go w/o my older brother (19 years old)as a chaperone. i relunctantly agreed. we left for the concert, tore off in his '73 nova ss, parked, found our seats and the moment we sat down, out came a lighter, a small cube of tin foil and a butterknife. i thought, god, i'm so lucky mom sent someone to watch over me.

Greg Ferguson Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Vote cast. Good luck, Jinder. I'm not a fan of Bon Jovi, either. His music does nothing for me. There are many, many others that fit that category. That said, he seems like a genuinely nice guy, unlike most of those many, many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnt Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 happy to oblige! good luck. BTW' date=' i can't stand bon jovi but, i like you guys. [/quote'] Three votes cast here For exactly the same reasoning as JG. Can't stand Bon Jovi and if Genesis were playing you'd get 4 votes, I'd buy another PC!!! Good luck, we'd come and see you is it wasn't for the crap "supporting act"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terms thats Tools/Internet Options/delete then delete all You can get a second vote! Failing that re-set your IP If not there's always the email your contacts box. Needs must when the devil drives By the sound of some of your competition they've already done that or they come from Kent and have thousands of cousins. One band especially even I could blow off stage! Best of luck mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I voted you up but the closest I've come to piercing my eardrums with knitting needles is when Bon Jovi is on the radio. I hated him when he was hot in 1987 and now he's BACK. All knitting needles have been removed from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinder Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thanks guys!! I just found out that if you switch the cookies off on your internet settings, you can vote again and again...I still don't think we're going to win, though...we're up to 8% thanks to the valiant efforts of you chaps, but I think the leading guy has a massive internet savvy street team :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
