I would definitely prefer to walk out after Marty and the Lovehammers finish, because I honestly dislike JD and, although I loved INXS when MH was alive, I did not agree with their choice (JD:poser galore) and I did not like the sound of "easy easy" or "us" or "pretty vegas"....However...I might stay just for the possibility of Marty joining them again during the show...so I guess what I would do is find out first if Marty sings only at the beginning or if they will give the LH & Marty further participation prior to deciding whether I stay or not....but I'm leaning towards NOT, and I yearn for the day in which Marty & LH are THE act instead of opening.
BTW, does anyone have info on the list of cities/countries they will be touring??

I will stay for sure. To be honest I have not been very familair with INXS in the past so I'll stay and listen to them. If Marty likes them enough to have done the show I think I'll give them a chance. And, forgive me but I never disliked JD. (feeling tomatoes hitting my face)!!
As much as I did not dislike JD I ADORED Marty!! If there is even a slllllim chance that he'll get back out on stage after the opener.... well, I just can't miss that chance.

I won't be doing it so much to make a statement as I just can't stand JD Fortune. I actually like INXS but I'm not about to watch them with him. I'm over them not picking Marty. That's not even the point. If they'd have picked Mig, I'd stay and watch them. But JD just always rubbed me the wrong way..and..frankly, I don't like anything about him when he sings (and humps the mic and crotch grabs) Yuck. I am very anxious to see the Lovehammers though!! WELL SAID!!! I agree 120% with you! |

This has been a hard topic for me to add my “two cents.” I’ve followed it since it started (although that is what moderators tend to do…lol) but I’m still divided. I agree with those that have said if Mig was picked I wouldn’t think twice about leaving---I would stay because he is fun to watch and he puts on a great show, but it is hard for me to watch JD perform. He actually makes me nervous when I watch and listen to him.
I have no hard feeling toward INXS for not picking Marty because he needs to be with the Lovehammers and not made to sing someone else’s style of music/songs. However, INXS has helped Marty grow as a musician and that is priceless!
Which brings me back to my dilemma: I hate to come off as “rude” to INXS and JD by leaving, but yet I honestly don’t like to watch or listen to him. The only solution I’ve come up with so far is to bring ear plugs to wear after the Lovehammers are done performing. Seriously, I’ll stay for a few INXS songs out of respect for them and if it turns out to be enjoyable I will stay for the whole concert (that is the same thing I would do for any movie I go to see in a theater---I’ll give it a fair chance, but if it’s not good then I will just leave).
P.S. Those ideas about wearing the green shirts or LH shirts are great! But wouldn’t it be cool if we had Marty Casey.org shirts so when we were at the concerts we could recognize fellow forum friends???

Here's my creation  Long sleeve T-shirt colour Kelly green shirt, Marty Casey.org in white bold lettering on the back, Lovehammers in black bold lettering on the front waist, Tree Huggers in orange lettering on the arms, Sisterhood of Women in bold red celigraphy on the chest and Kool-Aid in bold yellow lettering with a yellow stain spot between SOW & LH  Did I forget anybody  Come to think of it maybe it is time to have a contest to design a one size fit all logo  Mine looks like a box of crayons got loose  |

Personally, I am in agreement with twog8kds. INXS has offered the Lovehammers an excellent opportunity to perform on a world stage. It would be disrespectful, and dare I say, somewhat childish to "boycott" INXS. They did Marty a great favor by NOT choosing him, and still letting the world see Lovehammers. I think Marty would be horrified if his fans were thinking this way. He is grateful and respectful to INXS, and so should his fans. |

I thought I'd replied to this... hmm, okay, guess not.
A few weeks ago, I could not have stood the idea of seeing a Marty-less INXS. Now, with him opening, and JD proving to me that he might be capable of putting on a great show and re-enlivening a once-great band, I will definitely stick around.
I also hope there is some kind of encore that involves Marty joining the band onstage. I feel sure that there will be, since I think JD and Marty get along very well and complement one another nicely. It's just something I'd see JD wanting to do.
I think the show will rock totally and can't wait for it to come to Toronto!

I'll go to see Marty primarily. Then I will stay to see INXS. There's no way I'm walking out of a concert I paid good money for. I think JD will do a good job wth INXS. I respect INXS for making Marty visible to us and helping his career. I am no fan of JD, either personality or musically but I agree that many of us would never have known about Martys talents without the show or INXS. I expect I would have to travel some distance to see the gig so would stay to see all of it but my priority would be to see Marty!!! The only reason I would stay through the whole concert was out of respect to Michael's legacy |

I think it would be so rude to walk out like that. I hope it doesn't happen. JD was not my pick but when they played there new song I actually liked it. You never know there new CD could be good. I would go there to see Marty though and probably be bored the rest of the time but I might be surprised. I'll give it a chance. Yeah I also would not want to pay all of that money to just leave after the Lovehammers. I wonder how much they will cost. I heard there performance in Chicago coming up is $1000.00. Someone correct me if I am wrong but if it's really that much I could never afford to go. Man, I will pay ANYTHING to NOT hear Pretty Vegas ever again in my lifetime! |

I will go to see Marty, but will have to leave before JD comes out. I'm sorry, I respect the fact that he & Marty are friendly, but I cannot stand the man, his performances or his voice. And don't even get me started on that frigging megaphone!! The megaphone is so sparkly and pretty, it looks like it belong to Richard Simmons |

I will stay for a couple of the INXS songs, but, in that time frame, if I do not like what I'm hearing and I'm feeling that I'm losing that groove, rush, and excitement that I had gotten with the Lovehammers playing, then I'll leave. I just think that if I'm not enjoying myself why stay. My money, my ticket. No disrespect to INXS. |

Well, as an adult I was thinking I would stay but now that I have read some comments on JDs fansite about throwing stuff at Marty not sure that I even want to go. Maybe will wait until they do their own tour. Sorry, just not into riots in the audience.

JD's fans want to throw stuff at Marty? Because J.D. won?! I think both men have talent (I don't particularly care for J.D. at this point, but he may surprise me!) especially since they were the last two standing at the end of RS:INXS. I'm glad to be at this message board since we tend to keep things positive and "agree to disagree" rather than throw things!
I might throw things at Marty ... winky, winky! I'd better stop and mosey over to the 18+ lounge,

Ah, thanks, bobswife. I was confused.
I hope JD's fans do act more mature and not really throw things.

Instead of going to the Lovehammers/ INXS concert, maybe I will just go to the Rock Star concert if they do decide to have one. I bet I would get to see alot more of Marty there.
