Review: It’s Aaron Lewis, not Pearl Jam, STP, Tool ...

I don't blame him or the other performers that refuse to revisit Reno. This kind of behavior unfortunately typifies the Reno populace; trashy and inconsiderate. What a dump; I can't wait to move.

A couple of issues I have with this review. As anyone that has seen previous Aaron Lewis shows the crowd calling out songs for him to play is all part of the show and he ususally encourages it. He has even come out and said he doesn't know which songs to sing, which usually triggers the audience to start yellling out songs to play. Also, the part about him stepping away from the mike and singing a song, he did the exact same thing - and I believe the same song - last year! So get your facts right! He difinitely was not himself and didn't interact with the crowd as he normally does, that was a disappointment but he still has a great voice. I didn't mind him not singing covers so mush but I would have liek to hear some of the older Staind songs. There will always be a few people at the show

My wife and I saw him a couple of years ago and it was great. The crowd was wonderful and respectful...Too bad this time it was not as pleasant and my hope is that this does not put a dark cloud over Reno and the fans....It's nice to have shows like this and would be horrible if they did not show......

I hate to say it but here goes...RENO CROWDS SUCK! I was at the Dave Chappelle show at the Reno Events Center several years ago. I was actually ashamed to be from Reno because the crowd was completely out of hand and extremely disrespectful.

This was my 4th year seeing Aaron Lewis and I must admit I was a little disappointed this time in his show.. I know that he has a tremendous voice and a great talent. The first year I saw him he was VERY Sick and still put on a terrific show. Part of what makes his shows so wonderful is his interaction with HIS audiance. When we all are singing along and he stops playing the guitar to hear US sing TOGETHER. Thats what makes it special and makes him special for allowing us to do so. This year he wasn't playing for family he was doing his JOB. As for the RENO people who insist EACH YEAR in starting fights and being disrespectful... stay away and let the rest of his fans enjoy him... And next year will be a new year and a new show.

This is the SEVENTH time I have seen Aaron Lewis! His voice is AMAZING! The only problem is the crowd @ every show! I don't understand it! It's an acoustic show yet the audience thinks they can talk. What is with Reno crowds?? People ask, "How can there be fights at a show like this?" If you hear how many times people ask other people to "BE QUIET" you can understand why! I didn't pay to listen to YOU talk or try to SING like Aaron Lewis so next year..........BE QUIET!
