Yes, Man Fans DO Exist!

Most have us have been to a show put on by Sam, Bobby or Marcus. When you look around, what do you see? A slew of women. And probably 90%  of the few men that are there seem to be there by force. This post is all about that other 10% of men.  Those men that may have come because the wifey made them, but stayed because of the talent.

I asked these “Man Fans” 5 quick little questions about their love for the guys, and here is what they had to say!

Jon

1. Who is your fave Brit boy and why?

Marcus – because he is just so fun to watch

2. Have you been to a show and if so, what did you think?

Yes I went to both shows here in Dallas. When my sister drug me out there the first night I really wasn’t a big fan but I didn’t want her and her friends going down to that part of town without a guy. But when the show started it was awesome. Bobby was great and Marcus really surprised me. He is fucking awesome.

3. As one of the few guy fans, what made you become a fan?

What really made me a fan was how the guys acted around me. At the show the guys had to use the restroom in the dressing room and when I went back there the were just really cool and talkative.

4. Favorite song?

Shadows of the City

5. Why should other guys give the Brit boys a chance?

Because the are just really cool and fun guys. They are just like any of my friends they just talk funny.

Nominated by his sister Katie!

Author side note: If you were at the Dallas shows, Jon was the guy in the Dallas Cowboys jersey! LOVE IT!!

More after the jump!

Michael (By they way, he is a sarcastic one!)

1. Who is your fave Brit boy and why?

I like Bobby because it sounds like he’s gone through some things and he’s putting that emotion into his music and it sounds like he also really tells a story in his music while the others, no offense sound more like they’re writing fluffy love songs. But I like Marcus, too because he got a blues-y style, it’s different compared to what we are used to hearing in the US.

2. Have you been to a show and if so, what did you think?

No, I have never been to any of their shows.

3. As one of the few guy fans, what made you become a fan?

I’m not a fan, I have to listen to this stuff because my wife is three feet from me and she doesn’t wear headphones like she should, like I do.

4. Favorite song?

No, because I don’t know any of the names of the songs to begin with.

5. Why should other guys give the Brit boys a chance?

Mmm. I don’t know? Maybe they’ll get cool points from chicks, if they’re lucky.

Nominated by his wife at The Pattinson Project!

Shaun

1. Who is your fave Brit boy and why?

My favorite recording artist from the “Brit Pack” would have to be Sam Bradley. He has an amazing voice and we have already seen him live twice. He puts on a good show and we have spoken with him briefly twice, and he was very nice to talk to and down to earth.

2. Have you been to a show and if so, what did you think?

Yes I have been to two shows and am scheduled to go to two more in the winter. He had great crowd participation and interaction, good stage presence.

3. As one of the few guy fans, what made you become a fan?

My wife…lol. She had said that she liked this guy and that I should listen to him. When I first heard him I was not…thrilled with Sam, but slowly over time I listened more and more to him and really began to enjoy his voice and his sound. It is a big change for me – while I listen to a variety of music I mainly listen to rock and classic rock. So the switch to the nice bluesy, soulful sound was a nice change.

4. Favorite song?

Do i have to pick only one??

Sidenote from the wifey: Yup, you have to pick just one. Maybe two, but Amber & LiLi may get mad.

Well if they will get mad then I’ll only pick one….Hmmm let me think…Well if I can choose only 1, I hate to say this b/c it is probably almost everyones favorite, would be “Too Far Gone” by Sam.

5. Why should other guys give the Brit boys a chance?

The Brit Pack is a good group of aspiring singers that give a good show and really put a lot of themselves into their music. I like their soothing sound at the end of the day or when I am trying to wind down.

Jon (Yes, a different one!)

1. Who is your fave Brit boy and why?

I suppose right now it would have to be Sam Bradley. I really have not yet had a chance to enjoy any of the other’s music.

2. Have you been to a show and if so, what did you think?

I took my loving wife to see Sam for her birthday. I really enjoyed the show. The venue was packed and we were right up front at the stage. Afterward we were able to experience the “meet and greet” where we were able to talk to Sam and “The Men”. Autographs followed along with a little discussion about their music.

3. As one of the few guy fans, what made you become a fan?

First of all I like the music styles. Second, Sam plays his music for the fans and really caters to them. Third, his music is original.

4. Favorite song?

I really like “Derek” I think it has a good groove to it, and the lyrics are great.

5. Why should other guys give the Brit boys a chance?

Why not? If you are a fan of music, you would really enjoy their styles. Where would we be today if we only stuck to “American” music? I have enjoyed music from several other countries. For example: U2 – Ireland, AC/DC – Austrailia, Midnight Oil – Austrailia, The Beatles – UK, I could go on with a whole lot more, but you get the point. Their (the Brit boys) music is up and coming music that fit so many lifestyles. They bring soul, rock, jam and a little bit of edginess to the table. I am looking forward to hearing, and possibly meeting more from them.

I am hoping to get a chance to listen to some more from the guys soon.

Nominated by his wifey, Amber at Eyes of Amber!

James

1. Who is your fave Brit boy and why?

Sam Bradley is my favorite of the three. His voice reminds of a young Billy Joel. (and having Bobby be my favorite, would mean I’d be agreeing with my wife and we can’t have that. LOL!)

2. Have you been to a show and if so, what did you think?

No unfortunately. Sam’s only been in Michigan once and we missed him.

3. As one of the few guy fans, what made you become a fan?

Well, I learned of the guys from my wife’s slight *insert sarcasm here* obsession with the “Brit Pack” as you girls call them. HaHa! I had, at first, only heard of Bobby, because of Amy’s insistence of listening to his CD on auto replay. I finally got myself an iPod awhile back and stole all Sam and Bobby’s songs off of Amy’s iTunes library and  I was extremely impressed with Sam’s music. He’s also a great instrumentalist. Bobby is also a great guitar player. You just have to appreciate that kind of raw talent and ability from all 3 of them.

4. Favorite song?

Passport by Sam Bradley

5. Why should other guys give the Brit boys a chance?

Umm..if you can’t beat em’ (or banish your wife from going to 4 Bobby Long concerts in November) just join em’. It’ll definitely get ya some points with your woman! LOL! But no seriously, I usually tune out anything Twilight related and just assumed I wouldn’t like their music at first, but all 3 guys seem pretty cool down to earth and are very talented. It’s kinda refreshing to see and hear that some musicians, such as Sam, Marcus and Bobby, still write, sing and perform their own music. That’s not very common anymore.

And Amber, I’m making Amy upload these pictures I took of my 2 year old Son (that won’t say “Daddy” but can pick Bobby out of a picture AND will point to the radio, in the car, and say “Bobby”?? then put his fingers to his ear because he wants to hear his music!! WTH??)  watching this video of one of Bobby’s concerts on my wife’s laptop. Yes, my 2 year old, will stand in place for a period of greater than 3 minutes and watch a video of Bobby Long playing. So, again, I reiterate, if you can’t beat em’, join em’! LOL!!

All together now… AWWWWWWW! So cute! Bobby, meet your youngest fan!!

James (and his son) were nominated by his wife Amy (AddictedtoRob)!
