Yickle.

Thankyou!
It looks like a great show.. Man! that Elwood is good on the harp and both look very much like the real thing. Jake aint to bad either, and the lady who sings shake a tailfeather is great too.
Too bad the show's only ten minutes.

Just watched it-they're pretty good!

But I reckon that maybe they should make an effort to have a live band or something....apart from the saxaphone player.

[madmatt]

theay have the look down but the jake canot sing like jake the elwood has it down to the bone but he dident dance but man heas a good harp player wich makes up for it but would it kill the elwood to dance right for the song soul man and i might say that rubber biscuit olny sounded good beacus of the beat not his singing but nonthe less they are good but theay still have stuff theay need to work at

[beacky278]

i agree with matt; it was good, but they're no were NEAR as good as the real Blues Brothers

[Jay_Blues]

elwood was good, the guy that played jake was very ordinary.. nobody will ever match john belushi god bless him

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

I?m the only person who thinks this elwood is a little bit fat for the role?

[madmatt]

the only thing the Jake needs to work at is being a bit more animated john belushi was like a cartoon charter and Dan akroyd man he was a never ending SNL skit but those guys just have to be like more cartoonist and I myself being in a blues brothers tribute band have studied tapes of akroyd to get my Elwood down and it works they have done their home work and that?s good but nobody well ever compare to the actual thing and I think they just need to study a bit more because they have the talent but they haven?t seen the light
"In Blues We Trust"

[madmatt]

the Elwood is kind of fat would it kill him to drop a few pounds but Dan Akroyd is as big as a blotted hippo I was kind of upset when I saw him at the Atlantic city gig I mean he has gotten so big and he was wearing huge orthopedic shoes and he could barley breath and in soul man he couldn?t even dance he doesn?t relies how important he is to the future of classic R&B and Blues no body can make an impact but him and I hope he comes to relies that, and up cant say that Jim belushi can fill johns shoes because Jim really isn?t good when he sings its like he is trying to hack up a lugie Dan Akroyd is the only orange Blues Brother and he need to give it one more shot and I?m going support him he need to make Blues Brothers 3 not just for us for the future generation of the music we all respect and cherish we need blues

[beacky278]

i completly agree matt! we need to all support Dan as much as we can

[madmatt]

man this is a show that differnt people do every day theay get differnt trubutes and supply them with the car and the mics and stuff its a show that is done hourley

[madmatt]

Thanks i think we shuld try and support him so he could make BB3 it could go back to when theay were kids growing up on the side streets of chigo in the St hellin of the bellsid shroud that woud be a good idea

[madmatt]

I mean Dan Akroyd is the only man with the power to bring the music we all love and respect back to life we should try and figure out something to show he has millions of fans that support and believe in him we have to do something if you have aney ideas as to help me figure someting out pleas email me at [email protected]

[beacky278]

ya, like a pre-quel or something. thats a good deda

[Jay_Blues]

yeah a third one would be good, but if its as bad as the second i dont wanna see it. the script has to be terrific and the music has to stay true. i cant believe they did a carribean number....

dan is too old to fill the shoes of a leading role so i guess the concept of jake and elwood in their younger years would be good... but you would have to find actors that love the blues brothers. If they went with this idea i could see it turning into a really stupid spoof kinda movie like dumb and dumber sequel.

The Blues Brother franchise should just stay the way it is and be remembered for the legend its created.

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

Well, i want dan/elwood on the role,because i want more Blues Bros stuff, not "Blues Bros Tributes". I know dan isn?t young as in the first film, but in the second he could act, sing, play and dance, so, why not a 3rd film with dan?

And please,not a script with a "new generation of BB" like in the 3rd plot of Ghostbusters.

[madmatt]

Yes he could make a new BB3, but he would have to find a way to get that stupid little kid out of it J. Evan Bonifant out of it. The movie could go 2 ways just Elwood trying to get his life together, which would be boring. Another way is we go back to their childhood which would complete The Blues Brothers trilogy. Dan Akroyd shouldn?t be haunted by the past I know BB2 wasn?t the best movie ever but he would have to think this script over a lot. Dan can defiantly make a new movie but it well take a lot of thought it would be best for him to go back to the brothers childhood now that could be good and they could find actors to play the young brothers. It would be a grate movie if he really worked on it.
