Ok I was just wondering what everyones opinion is of Greenwheel. I think they are awesome. I saw for the first time last week when they were opening for OLP and got to meet them and talk to Ryan for a bit. They are very nice and i was pleasantly surprised by their performance. I now have their cd and shirt. The cd is great. Everyone should get it.

Yeah i 'm just a tad obsessed at the moment

I lovelovelovelovelove them. they're amazing. I saw them open for OLP on July 14th, and loved them after I heard just one song.

I ended up seeing them again in September - headlining at a tiny venue - and it was AWESOME. since it was their first night without Doug, they did some of the songs acoustic

the random Jeff Buckley cover during The End was a nice touch, too.

olpcc - you have the indie cd?! I've been looking for that EVERYWHERE. O_O

do you make copies for a fair amount? heh.

yea i actually searched here to see if there was one already started but couldn't find one so i just decided to start one. But yeah i really love the cd. 've only seen them once so far but hoping to see them again soon. They said they might start touring again after the new year.

I liked them for awhile, but it's not as if their music or anything they're saying is incredibly new or profound. They're doing the same stuff that's been done for five years, although they do it very well.

the part I enjoyed most when I saw them was their cover of Forty-Six & 2, and that's never a good thing for the longevity of a band.

They sound alot like this Montreal band that opened for olp at the last SS, there name is Rubberman, Greenwheel is like Rubberman + Matchbox 20

not for me. kind of boring. melodies are ok but every time i hear another "modern rock band" like greenwheel i automaticly roll my eyes.

i think greenwheel are really good live, but i never really enjoy listening to the actual cd all that much. they still have my respect though.

olpcc · Post by **olpcc** » 11/29/2002, 10:29 pm

i'll admit the cd's really that special, but but they are truely amazing live when i got too see them headline they were awesome, maybe the best band i have ever seen live

rubberman's pretty cool heh
a friend of mine sent me a few songs of thiers

greenwheel is amazing live.. the first night i just sorta stood there and listened and thought "wow.. if only THESE guys played the ACC show instead of fuckin noise therapy" heh

I agree, Greenwheel is amazing live. For me, they were a great opener for Our Lady Peace and blew Audiovent away completely.

I saw greenwheel live twice and both times blew the roof off the place. I disagree about the CD though, I think it is just as grand.

xoNoDoubt69 · Post by **xoNoDoubt69** » 12/2/2002, 4:02 pm

i agree i think they are awesome live and i love the cd.
