Jean,

The worst part of it all is that this guy Ian is a complete egotisical asshole.

I heard him on a radio interview recently and the interviewer asked him how it came about that he was opening up for Cold Play and did he hang around with Cold Play back stage. He mentioned that they bowed down at his feet backstage becasue of how great he was. The above is paraphrased of course but the tone and his sense of own selfworth came through the air waves loud and clear.

Intrigued and disturbed I went to the Echo site and saw a couple of recent videos and listened to a couple of live MP3s. They should have packed it in.

To me they were a one hit wonder and Ian doesn't have a voice anymore. I now have the most distain for him.

I understand that some people may only see the Church ass one hit wonders. Fine. But at least they have continually improved and Steve on his worst day couldn't even come close to be such a ass as Ian Mc.
