live wire needs your vote!!!!!!!!
go here & vote for live wire,it's my buddy's tribute band (bonfire) & if his band wins,they get to go to south america & perform. voting is on right side of screen. http://www.paulgillman.com.ve/2008/06/20/festival-de-musicaunida-2008
Voted, best of luck to them although I couldn't read a word on the site. Any idea when this ends? I'll plug it in the newsletter if it's still going into next month.
Voted. Let your bud know "Awe the best fae Glasgow"!!!
They only have 27% of the vote?! How is that even possible? An Iron Maiden tribute act is beating them... I've heard a bit of Live Wire's work, and it sounds great. One of the best AC/DC tribute acts around. Perhaps the best is Australia's Powerage (a bunch of mid-teens who "do it right"). I'm trying an experiment. Three browsers on one OS (FF 3, IE 7, Safari) and one browser on another (FF 3). I wonder if I could vote once on each browser. If it is successful, I'll report back here.
Scratch that. I tried it. They must have some sort of IP filter on the site. Ah well, my "Vote early, vote often" idea won't work.
voted, yeah they are behind but not by too much, so best of luck
damn it,sorry for the blank message,i clicked 1 to many times,lol!! but anyway,show is on aug. 16 & the date on the contest starting was on june 20,so i would think voteing wouold go on thru july or at least the first couple weeks anyhows. c'mon people,get off your asses & on your feet & vote for live wire,we have more then enough members here to have them win & it only takes a few seconds to vote.
voted from each IP I have. :) I'll spread the word come July 1.
I voted for Livewire. They are up to 29%. Let's go Riff Raff and get those votes out there. Nightprowler, Are we able to vote everyday at least once up until the July deadline?
I think we are. I was just able to vote again. I guess you can (somewhat) "Vote early, vote often."
thank you everyone for your votes! very much appreciated! It ends on Sunday June 29th at midnight...unfortunately we still trail by over 100 votes. hoping we can pull through!
ok, just sent an email out requesting a vote to 10,000+ members. Hopefully it'll do some good.
well,it sure can't hurt,lol!! c'mon people,get your vote in for livewire,i'm sure it would make bill & his gang happier then hell. & if you ever get the chance,go see them live,they really put on a damned good show.
Well, if the "Member #" is a good indication, at we can be assured that some will get it. Just look at paulr's number, over 12,000. Me and imma_rocker, over 8,000. So hopefully at least 500 people will get it, actually read it, and vote.
less than 12 hours after the email was sent out, Live Wire is now leading by 11 votes. nice work!
It looks like they might have gained a few votes since then. They now lead by over 20 votes. There still are a few days until the last day of voting, but I feel confident that the Led Zep and Judas Priest acts will not pose a threat. It's the Maiden act that is posing the biggest threat. And as I was typing this, another vote came in pushing Live Wire up to 442/38%. Now it'd be bad to win with less than 50% of the vote, but it looks like that might happen.
hey everyone... Nate I sent you an email to thank you, but it bounced. Just wanted to extend my thanks to you for sending that out last night, it's VERY much appreciated from myself and the rest of the band. Cheers for that!! and thanks again to everyone here for voting to help us out! We've got to get through today, Fri, Sat, and all of Sun still though (midnight) to win it, but we've got a 61 vote lead as of this morning...hopefully we'll pull it off. thanks again everyone!
well,now the lead is up to about 130 votes. bonfire,i do believe we may have done it,thanks everyone for voteing,but we still could use more to assure the win,keep on casting your votes whenever possible,i voted 4 times so far now from different computers & should be able to get on at least another 2 or 3 b4 the end of this, ;-)
If this goes on, Live Wire could possibly get over 50% of the vote. As of this typing, it's 614 (LW) / 457 (LAD) / 178 (MG) vote spread. Live Wire has 44% of the votes. And Led Zepagain are out.
Guess what, you CAN vote more than once on an IP. [EDITED BY MODERATOR] It may or may not work, but if it does, you've got yourself a second vote.
I want to see Live Wire win and all, but I'd prefer it be honestly. Also, if the site gets wind of any cheating going on, they could end up disqualified. One more thing, the fans from the other bands might get a hold of the directions and do the same thing. So that's the reason for the edit. Try & keep it legal from here on out.
Voted from my job and home. Best of luck to Bonfire. Hail to his friend NP ;)
Thanks again all- and I agree with Nate, no need to do anything non-legit. Thanks again for your votes & support.
well,now livewire is in the lead by almost 200 votes now!!!!!!!! keep up the good work everyone,let's make sure they stay up front,we got about 3 days to go. & hail to you also sap,how's it been going??????

Well, after the internet being off for a couple of days...I was able to get another vote in.

Cheers again and thanks for everyones help and support! Still have another 4 hours or so to go, so I'm not counting my chickens just yet.... but hopefully we'll pull through for the win!
Good. I think everyone voted from the forum :) NP i remember you getting married, is it a year already?! My god time passes fast. Happy anniversary mate! I hope your wifes gift will come later and be 2 AC/DC tickets!! ;) Cheers.
well,loks like livewire is going to south america!!!!!!!!! we did it,woo-hoo!!!!!! congrats mr. fire :-) . hey sap,yep it's been a year already,time does just fly on by. & don't worry,the day that ac/dc tickets go on sale i will do just like the last time,camp out overnight at the ticket place & be 1st in line & get front row seats once again. last tour i had section 1,row 1, seats 1,2 & 3 for the aug. 20th show in philadelphia,only thing that will be different this time is i'm gonna get at least 4 or more tickets,1 for me,1 for my wife & the rest for some of my close ac/dc friends.
For some reason voting is still continuing... not sure why yet. so anyone else who can vote for Live Wire, please try and do so if you can! thanks!
Bonfire, if you do end up winning this thing, all I'd ask is that you keep a log/journal of your trip and take tons of pics so I can post them in the Specials section. I personally would really like to hear how it goes and what your experience was like.
Sure thing Nate, will do! It appears that voting is still taking place... I still haven't received any answers from them about what's going on, but the other band is closing the gap on us a bit now.
I don't get what's going on either. But I was just able to get another vote in on my Windows install of Firefox. It just sucks that my sister's computer's hard drive literally shot itself in the foot.
Thanks again to Nate & NP and everyone here for their votes & support. the site finally closed the poll and announced Live Wire as the winners. The date of the show should be Aug 16th, but I won't have further info about it until July 11-12 or so. cheers again to everyone!
you will be recording your own performance and posting it I would hope, be nice to hear what we voted for dude cheers man & break a leg when you get there
Congratulations Bonfire! Good luck & have a safe trip down there. I hope everything goes smoothly. If you're able to keep a journal of your trip & take pictures, I know I personally would enjoy reading about it. Also, if you do happen to get a recording of the show, I will try and make it widely available if at all possible.
hot damn,congrats fire. don't forget to include me in the trip,u can say i play the part of mark or dave if needed,LMMFAO!!!! but i'll settle for those t-shirts we talked about instead, ;-)
Still no update on this yet... they're changing the show date on us, and we're still not sure when it will be yet.
Hopefully you don't end up getting screwed over after all of the effort everyone put out to get you the win. Best of luck Bonfire.
