"Well, since the other reviewers here seem to be gloating about their Messiahs purchases, I'll just let slip that I own a mint vinyl copy of Gun-Shy...oh yeah, about this disc...well, the Screaming Blue Messiahs were one of the greatest punkabilly outfits ever to grace this salty earth...if you can't get on the goodfoot with these fellas, well sir, you just ain't human. Of course live albums are contractually obligated to have miserable sound quality, but try to get ahold of this anyway. It'll kick your Backstreet Boys CD's off the rack and set 'em on fire, and that can only be a good thing."
I hate to gloat

"I hate to gloat, but I own all 4 of the Messiahs cd's. That's right - I followed em when they were out there being under appreciated. Best band no one has ever heard of. I have yet to meet anyone that knows a damn thing about the Messiahs. One of the best live bands I've seen.Go track down Gun Shy. Pay any price."
These guys are great..re-release their work!!

"The fact that these guys are no longer screaming is a tradgety! They had a sound unapproached by any other band. Shriekback ,in my view, in their earlier music projected the same energy...and both lead singers had no hair...a coincidence!? Fact is I had their first albumn on record but would dearly love it on Disc..so if you can help...email me at chris@centralpower.co.nz I WANT THIS ALBUM....it is the greatest!!!! I have searched America and Australia for a copy but so far come up empty handed...please help me...I'm dying out here."
