"WOW"-the Nation is alive and well!! A good sports team scout always sits away from the action to scout players. As President of the Nation I did the same and with joy and happiness I left Saturdays gig knowing that 2009 will be a year like no other in Johniac Country. Great job guys and you definitely "Rocked" and the "Nation salutes you"!!!!

One of the goals for the JOHNIAC NATION in 2009 is to double in size. One slight problem the NATION will have is trying to find a much bigger venue. As of right now the NATION is very strong as proven last Saturday Night @ Quimbys. So lets go into 2009 with these goals in sight and the NATION feels it will accomplish them. Happy New Year to the 5 best guys anyone would love to have as friends.

I've seen Jimmy kick some butt a few years, OK several years, ago with "Cheater." He was fantastic then and probably better now. I bet that Northside Johnny is a great band.

Wow! I just came home from Fairport Food and Music Festival, and I am excited!

I went to see your show on recommendation from your daughter, Mr. Milligan, (I'm a friend of hers.) and you are definitely my new favorite band. I actually preferred most of your songs to the originals. (Which I've heard five or six thousand times with my dad.)

Great show! Keep doing what you love!

We were there from Fort Lauderdale on Saturday night July 26, 2008 to once again be blown away by this power keg known as \\\"Northside Johnny\\\" at the East Rochester Firman\\\'s Carnival. It is amazing to be at an event like this and see the reaction of those who have never seen this band perform before. If you have not had a chance to see this very entertaining band, I highly recommend that the next time you have that chance, you do, you will go back again and again. The new Northside Johnny shirts are now being showcased as well in South Florida. Thanks for a great evening and we can\\\'t wait until our next visit to Rochester and your next perfoprmance.

Extra, Exrta Read all about it. NSJ sets new all time record @ the East Rochester Fire Department Carnival. 29 1/2 Kegs of beer !!!! The old record held by NSJ was 27 Kegs from the 2007 Carnival. The ERFD would publicly like to thank you 5 for a stellar performance once again and you never seem to let us down. The performance was the best and hopefully it was as much fun for you 5 as it was for us to have you close out a very long and demanding week for us. See you @ the Fairport Music Fest on the 23rd of August.

Well President Charlia did it. He got me to go to a few venues, and now I'm hooked. Ive meet all five of you and your all a class act. The ERFD carnival was awsome!!!! Some 800 or more people rocking the tent. I have turned some of my friends on to you now. I see only bigger and better partys comming, so I'm passing the word on. What a great band who enjoys entertaining us, and has a blast doing it.

Picture this. It is a warm Saturday Night, @ 6:30PM there is a huge firemens parade, followed by a huge fireworks display @ 10:00PM, and from 9PM until 12 Midnight the best classic rock band around is playing under a massive tent in front of 100's maybe even 1000's of rock happy people. You can be part of that experience by coming to the ERFD Carnival on Saturday, July 26th,2008 at the ER high school complex. Food, Beverage, and fun for the whole family. Don't miss this event as you will regret it for ever.

WELL WE DID IT. WE PACKED THE BAIRD ROAD PUB SO BAD THAT THE WALLS WERE BULGING. HATS OFF TO THOSE WHO CAME AND PARTIED WITH THE BAND THAT PLAYS HARD AND NEVER LETS UP. TO ALL JOHNIACS PRESENT, FUTURE, AND THOSE WHO HAVEN’T GOT THE ENERGY YET TO BECOME A JOHNIAC, NICE JOB. THE NEXT GIG THAT WILL ROCK THE PERINTON AREA WILL BE ON FRIDAY, JUNE 13TH, 2008 OUTDOORS AT THE BAIRD ROAD PUB. THE BAND WILL BE PERFORMING DURING HAPPY HOUR AND IT WILL BE A HAPPY HOUR FOR SURE. ALSO, THE BAND WILL BE CLOSING THE EAST ROCHESTER FIRE DEPARTMENT CARNIVAL ON JULY 26TH, 2008. IF YOU WERE THERE LAST YEAR THEN WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE PERFORMANCE AND THE CROWD THAT OCCUPIED THE BEER TENT. SO LETS KEEP ROCKIN AND SUPPORT THESE 5 GREAT MUSICIANS WITH GREAT PERSONALITIES. SO UNTIL THE JOHNIAC NATION MEETS AGAIN, LOVE, LAUGH, AND LIVE. ALWAYS KEEP ROCKIN!!!

Hey Tom,

I thought you guys were excellent last night. I knew you guys were pretty good but I was absolutely blown away when I heard the Zep at first and then Black Crowes... but then when you told me that you guys do Journey, I wondered if Chip would be able to pull off Steve Perry. It was excellent!!! I was groovin bigtime! Too bad we had to leave early, just when the fun was getting started. I missed the second half but I am definitely going to check you guys out some Saturday night to take a break from tax work at the end of the week.

Once again, you guys rocked and I was watching you on one riff. Awesome! Keep rockin.

Hello,

I just heard you guys on The Buzz this morning and thought you were awesome! I loved your version of Sweet Child of Mine (after you got it started, of course :-) ) I'm not that familiar with your band, but I was wondering if you have a CD available? I'd definitely be interested if you do. Please let me know.

Thank you,

Hey Jimmy-

Lost your info. Would enjoy continuing our last conversation. Forgot to mention Ron Roadie's birthday in Canada. Now that's entertainment!

Found Jay Styler. As in djaystyler at myspace. Techno dance music? Go figure.

Give me a call (I'm in the Raleigh, NC directory) or drop me an email. God bless you and yours.

President Vanscott,
My wife and I wanted to thank you for selling us the greatest pair of tickets ever purchased. I know you are getting older or its from years of masturbation the eyes are starting to go so will make it easier to read.
Last nights Show @ Nola's BBQ was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME ! Charlie we wish we could have stayed later ,but Jessica was dead on her feet. While the drinks were strong and yummy, the food was ok, the company and the music was the best. We just wanted to thank you for the tickets and it was great to see the band give you a wonderful shout out. We are very proud of you Charlie !!!!!!! Northside Johnny is now our new favorite band.

Chip, I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how great your show was on Saturday! I had no idea you were such a great singer - very impressive. I don't think I've ever seen anyone even attempt to cover Journey songs and you guys really pulled it off. Not everyone can hit those upper register notes. You're my new favorite band!

Anyway, hope you have a good week. I'll definitely plan on seeing you play again sometime.

Take care!

Hi Jon!
I was gonna e-mail you to thank you for the tickets, but you beat me to it! We had a great time! You guys SO ROCK!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!! Kathy especially enjoyed the music because they were all songs from her era-- growing up! :) She said that her husband, Steve, would also love you guys. He is also a firefighter (not from ER- but from the city) and he and his buddies all like the music that you play. So, she wants to bring him and others out for another gig that you have.

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US ROCKING!

As president of the JOHNIAC Nation representing all JOHNIACS and JOHNIACETTES across the globe, I am speechless, if you can believe that. Fridays performance in Canandaigua was a masterpiece that we will never forget. If people read this guestbook and have never come out to hear NSJ, Then you really don't know what you are missing in your life. Everytime we think we saw the best, NSJ blows everyone away the next time. It happens over and over. That is not a bad thing. Thank You guys from the bottom of all JOHNIAC hearts. As the great band called Journey once sang, "Don't stop believin".
As long as you 5 keep playing, we will keep coming. That is a promise.
   - PRESIDENT CHARLIAC

Hi Jimmy(and Ronnie) What a great way to reunite with your BROTHERS. Your gig at the Inn at Canandaigua was wonderful. Never a doubt in our minds that your God gifted talent could only bring you back to bigger and better opportunities. Your skill on the drums is remarkable and we truly enjoyed listening to you and the Northside Johnnies. We look forward to coming and listening to the group again and wish you all the best of luck and success in your ventures. God Bless and we love you. We are so proud and look forward to seeing you soon.
Love,

There is not enough room on a page to talk about this band..I need to write a book. I cant tell you how impressive this band is. I felt like I was in the 80's all over again. Each song this band does will
blow you away from start to finish. If anyone out there is a die-hard 70's and 80's music person this is the band to see..I can sit here and go on and on and commend this group on there perfection of music.''THIS BAND IS UNBELIEVABLE"

Uncle Jimmy:) watching you play in a band again is like a dream. Watching you play Saturday was like being at the drum corner watching a seminar given by Neil Peart or Steve Gadd no SHIT!!! What you can do on a drum-kit is something that all drummers wish they can do..and thats play as good as you do..God gave you this talent and I want you to know that I thank god that you are playing again and that we can come out and listen to you play..Its an "honor" and again this band is perfect..who can ask for anymore talent??? You guys have it all......This band cannot be commended enough on what they play and on how great they are...Enough said ,come out and see these guys..

Great band playing great tunes. Came out to see Jimmy Fox because I Was always seeing him with Toronto or Cheater. I was very impressed by the song's that were played and they were played very well. Will keep my eye out for more gig's and will tell everyone I know who like's a great band and great music to come out. Wish I could have stayed for the whole gig and hope to see you perform in Canandaigua this summer. Keep on rockin.

PS please turn up the guitars a little, Bass, Key's, Vocals and Drums were strong, Could not hear guitar leads very well.

Hey guys , thanks for making my, and hubbie Bill's , trip to Fairport so fun and eventful! It was great to see you and hear you play on St. Paddie's Day, 2007! We will check out the website from time to time before heading west and hope to hear you again! Great to re-live our youth and the "big hair days" of the eighties. Great to see Dave, Chip, Tom and John and relive the FHS years!

D*mn It .... !

...I have to miss this one too! I do not return from a CA - work trip until Sat. 4/7.



Listen, when this one is a HUGE success, make sure you do this again at the Canandaigua Inn on the Lake, a couple more times this summer. What an awsome place to rock out June, July, August...



Although I will miss, yet again, another night of fun with Northside Johnny, I encourage everyone to go! Great band, bringing back great memories at a great location.

Well, well, well. It was Saint Patricks Day, the beer was cold, the place was bulging with Johniacs both present and future, the beer was cold, the crowd included Uncle Plum and Me and the Boyz,the beer was cold, it was Johniac Kevins birthday, the beer was cold, the music was clear and crisp, the beer was cold, the waitresses were on the top of their game, the beer was cold, an old teacher from high school showed up, the beer was cold, and the band played on and on. Once again the Johniac Nation wants you 5 to know that you rocked our world again. We are having more fun with you guys than we have ever had. So please accept a huge "THANK YOU"! See you in Canandaigua on the 6th of April. Did I mention that the beer was cold?

Hey Northside Johnny,
Just wanted to inform you that we have attempted to see you the past two times you played,, but realized that you are so popular that we were turned away at the door.
Disappointed as we were, we knew that we'd be listening to you again according to your schedule.
We enjoy going to Heron Hills in Hammondsport and have to say that you guys would be awesome to hear there someday.
Check out Heron Hills sometime for a place to play.
Come September, the weather and surroundings are worth the drive.
Hope to finally see you again.

Hi Chip,

Susan and I really enjoyed seeing you and the guys the other night
at the Thirsty Turtle, (love that name!)-you sounded great and as I walked
through the crowd- I heard lots of people saying "man I love these guys!" &
"boy, are these guy good!".

As we left, the man at watch at the front door told a couple of people
in the group of several waiting-"well it's your lucky day!" and let two
of the group come in.

I'm sure you guys will draw even more next time you play there.

I'm sure the owner was poopin' his pants when he saw that crowd, and
they were packed at the bar area as well.

Talk to ya soon!- David

Thanks for a really fun night out on 12/23. I don't get out to bars much these days, being a middle aged mom and all. You guys definitely made it fun!

I'm looking forward to my next opportunity shout into Danielle's ear between songs!

Jon, Thank you for a great evening last Saturday. It was probably the most fun we have ever had. The Nation was there in full force and your solo on the Guitar of Silent Night was just a masterpiece that we are still talking about. May you have a Great New Year and we are looking forward to 2007, especially the 2007 Carnival. Keep Rockin and never stop. Tell Sue we wish her a Happy New Year also.

Well if Saturday Night the 23rd at the Baird Road Pub wasn't the best Christmas Gift anyone could ask for then they don't know a good thing when they see one. The Johniac Nation sure did have a great Christmas as the gift of music from NSJ came their way. A big "THANK YOU" to 5 of the best musicians around from the "NATION" and also "THANK YOU" for a great year. The JOHNIAC NATION is HUUUUGE and growing on a daily basis. We will be there in 2007. That is a guarantee.

Man, you guys SUCK! What a bunch of old geezer posers! (except Jimmy Fox -- never played with him) I mean, how much cheap draft beer would I have to drink before you sounded anything close to music? How much did you have to pay Bill Lewis to drum for you? I hear Gene Best is after the coveted lead bass position! I'm falling out of my seat laughing! Hey just kidding... If you want some REAL kick ass lead guitar -- I'll blow your head off! I'm as deaf as a metal head -- give me a call!

I have never seen such energy, talent, shownmanship before. I was totally in awe. I danced from the time they started until the night was over. The younger generation doesn't know what they are missing! I'm stilling singing all my old time favorites that were played last nite. Outstanding job you guys!!! Keep us posted of your upcoming gigs.

Like every Saturday night, we stopped at the Public House on the way in to the city to party. Now there are bands playing there?!?!?!? Joe has gone crazy. Your band was freaking incredible. Are you all ex-tour players or what? What's with that dude Chip? Is he Bono, Steve Tyler or Robert Plant? Guitars?? Yea...like in your face...that was cool. And the drummer was like 2 guys back there!! And Dave is cute, but he know it. We're going to keep an eye on this website b/c you guys are really great..andyou all live in Rochester? What a waste of talent...you'll never be famous. Ohhh well. We'll keep coming out!@!

Singing on the bar, moving ceiling tiles, etc. We never know what we will see at each show and that's part of what keeps us coming back for more. Your rendition of "Pour some sugar on me" was amazing.

We won't mention the other bands name, because we now know it wouldn't be fair. You guys are head and shoulders above the rest of these bands...we were foolish...sorry.

Hi Jim,
I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the gig at Johnny's on
Saturday. The people I was with are Bosnian refugees who have recently
become U.S. citizens. They were so impressed with you guys that they
told me to make sure I let them know whenever you play out. I thought
you might want to know that the band appeals to people from all over the
world. As Ismir said to me after hearing your first songs "wow, that
drummer really kicks ass". And that was before he knew you were my
cousin. Great job as usual.

Tony

It can't be possible. How the heck can you sound better than the last time. Rumor has it that the City of Rochester is going to change the name of Culver Road to Northside Johnny Boulevard after Saturday's Performance at Johnny's Irish Pub. Is Tom related to the Gibson family who invented the Guitar??? And to top it off an encore of Freakin' ACDC !!!!! You 5 absoulutely have people in awe when you play. They just can't believe what they are hearing. Just keep on Rockin' and never stop.

One of you guys asked us to put comments on your webpage after you played, so here it goes. You guys sounded awesome outside last Saturday at the Fairport Music Fest. My friend said you were a good cover band, but we knew every song you did and they all sounded perfect. We liked all the bands that played, but now we want to see if you really do a full night of all those tunes. Someone said you do a whole block of Zeppelin- that would be really awesome. Thanks for making our day even more fun at a great event. We'll try to make it out to your other concerts in the future. See you soon!!!!

Can't wait to see NSJ sometime again soon. Maybe you can play the "Don't You Cry No More" (as Caleb calls it) song for us. Keep on Rock'in!

We loved having you play at our wedding. Everyone we talk to tells us your the best classic rock cover band they have heard in a long time. Of course we have to agree!! Our wedding reception is one we will not forget and thanks for tolerating some of the wedding guests who had a little too much to drink! I am sure your were quite entertained by them!! We love you guys and look forward to coming out and seeing you play soon!!

PS. Uncle Jimmy, I loved the song you sang for me!!

PSS. We have had many friends ask if you would ever come to Syracuse to play! Something to think about :)

Just wanted to let you know that last Saturday at Slammers was the best "Live Band" show we've been to in at least 5 years...no kidding! You guys are awesome! We don't get out much these days so when we do we will try to see you play. We all agreed we haven't seen anyone even close to the way you all ROCK OUT!!!!!

Well you guys did it again. You absolutely blew the roof off Slammers !!!!! It was an awesome show and the Zepplin set was unbelievable !!!!! The nice thing is you 5 don't play any slow stuff. If we want slow stuff we would stay home and listen to the radio. You are all having fun and it shows. The 5 of you are really great guys and we can't wait for the next "GIG". Also, you aren't like some bands that take 30 to 45 minute breaks. Keep Rockin !!!! Hope to see you all at the East Rochester Fire Department Carnival, July 27th thru the 30th.

Hi!! My name is Michele! Chip put a card with a note on my SUV this morning. He saw my Aerosmith bumper sticker and Aerosmith shirt. Thanks for the note, I appreciate it. My husband and I have a wonderful story of how we met - of course it was because of Aerosmith, but anyway I have a question for you. Do you normally play out in clubs, etc? If so, do you have a list with dates available, because we would love to come hear you. Thanks for your time!!!!!! Rock on!

Hi,Guys! I'm the lead singer in 7th Heaven. We're also a 70's-80's classic rock band here in Ra-chacha. Our former bassist (Jerry Ziarko from Perfect World) told me about your band. By chance we had an open night on the 26th (last night) and our entire band & some friends stopped in to see you play at Quimby's. What a great time! You guys rocked the house! We were overwhelmed by the packed house at only 8:30 in the evening! Maybe we should start playing only once a month and start real early as well. LOL Great job on the Zep & Aerosmith..and everything else! It's cool to see a band paying attention to detail. And the arrangements/seguays(spellcheck?) were impressive. I remember Jimmy from his Cheater days-used to see them play all the time. All in all, a really fun night out. If you guys are interested,we'll see about getting you into Slammers here 'up North'. Take care & hope to see you again..Rock On!

My husband and I love NSJ. We got hooked when Chip was playing solo at Starbucks and have been following him since. We were very excited when he came back from a brief hiatus. We try to attend every show they play. Chip always makes the time to stop by and say hello and the band is in sync and just gets the crowd going. Thanks guys for giving us such great music and a great time.

I saw you at the Powder Mill Park benefit...that was cool being outside. Any new tunes? Still doing the Led Zeppelin set? NO ONE DOES THAT STUFF AROUND HERE ANYMORE. That singer (Chip) wails, your drummer is unbelievable and both those guitar players sound just like the original tunes. All together you guys ROCK!!!
