Britny Fox - "Long Way To Love" (5/6/23) M3 Rock Festival

[@thedude7099]

Just brings back memories of a time when Life was actually FUN...😢

[@mycheesesteak]

It's so great to see this band playing again!

[@josephine-j1p]

Only one original member....Its a joke!!!!!

[@patrickreeves4650]

@@josephine-j1p billy childs has earned the disdain from the old band that comes his way. they were all against him doing this. a few times, dean and the band have come close to playing some gigs, however michael kelly smith has ZERO desire to tour anymore. billy does this, and its just a tarnish to the small legacy they have.

You mean 1 original member ? The Bass player !

[@matthewandphee3649]

They are not still together. This is an insult to the original line up.

[@RockDawg77]

@@matthewandphee3649 No, it's not. It's just a comment from a toddler with a full diaper. Get over it and enjoy the fact that they're out there playing the music for people to enjoy and stop trying to ruin it. Sometimes the guys and ladies in the bands read these comments and the rest of us would rather like to see them out performing feeling appreciated instead of this kind of insult. It takes a little bit of effort to do what they do. Show some gratitude.

[@matthewandphee3649]

@@RockDawg77 I have respect for the bands who put in the effort to stay together. I don't know how old you are but I was listening to Britny Fox in the 80's in Junior High. I grew up with Metal. It's sad to see the number of bands who are jut a shell of the original.

[@RockDawg77]

@@matthewandphee3649 Same time period here. Metal head from the beginning. Just glad that people are out there pounding keeping things going. If we're lucky, we'll see another great scene like we had back then. This time around, the legends like Deep Purple are still playing and the legacy bands from our era like Extreme and George Lynch are out there tearing it up with wicked new chops more than ever. Anytime people take the time to put something together and hit the road, we're in baby! ;)

[@WingsandBeer]

I saw them twice at HammerJacks in Baltimore back in the early 90s. Great show.

[@jedsteelwell2354]

She ain't giving you these guys no play

[@brigham2250]

I think if bands want to continue with fewer and fewer original members and/or lineup changes they should at least name the band accordingly, like Britny Fox V2, Britny Fox V3, L.A. Guns V2... L.A. Guns V1001, etc.

[@bobbyw1510]

Nah just call it what it is. I saw RATT in 2001 and Pearcy was the only original. He billed a tour as Ratt and it was basically Arcade members. The ticket said RATT...at that time Jizzy Bobby Blotzer Robbie Crane Warren and John Corabi all had a Ratt band also. I thought that was who I was going to see that night but it was Pearcy and Friends calling themselves Ratt instead. Great show none the less.
