Please, please do it again soon how about playing in Dublin or Derry or both. By the way where could I get my hands on some t-shirts. I bought one in Dundalk and although it's very nice its rather figure hugging and I haven't aged as well as the Petrols. If you look at the YouTube posting for Chemicrazy I'm the guy who got up on stage at the end to shake Reamanns hand and to give Steve a hug. Once again thanks for a great night and for giving us music to smile along to. Thanks a million for a fantastic night in Dundalk, you were awesome.

I'm still getting withdrawal symptons from seeing you live - you absolutely rocked it. Both London and Dundlak were amazing and even though I came on my own I met alot of friendly people with one major thing in common - the music of that Petrol Emotion. Part of me was nervous that you would still be great but maybe not as good - but what can I say - you completely exceeded my expectations! Not only did you sound like you hadn't been away, but that the band were SOOO tight! I've just got back from a damp weekend at Bestival and although I saw some good bands - they were not a patch on The Petrols. As Jason N said before - you are now up there in my top 5 of all time (and its a pretty big list). My only regret was to not see you at the Electric Picnic - although I have nothing whatsoever to complain about as I was very lucky to see you in London / Dundalk. So..... please, please PLEASE let this not be it lads - it would be a crying shame for you to not play live again - you have something to show the music world and I for one will be down the front again!!! Keep rockin'!!!! To the TPE boys - thank you for easily making my year. I’m still getting withdrawal symptons from seeing you live - you absolutely rocked it.

It worked amazingly well for us. I am still suffering awfully. As you know the flight back to Japan tooks us over 24 hours so I feel it was a longest dream... Well as far as I can see this site, I can reckon it wasn't ! How great, all of you makes me real. Overexcited we were, maybe some of you thought I was too loud, hasty, nasty and arrogant, but please excuse as I couldn't conrol myself. You know it took me exactly 23-years to experience TPE again .... What a long LOVE devoted?! How can I stop indulging myself.. All I want was feed me that real music I have been longing for those years. OK. Enough said. Now I can reassure where I stand and what I can do for the future. If TPE can manage to come over Japan, I will do e'thing needed ! And in that case, please all come over ! We must welcome you all just like you did for us. Thanks a lot again. Please hold my appreciation for the next time round ! Tomoko All,

I'm sure a lot of people who were at the gigs, and those who were not, would be very interested. And don't leave it so long to gig again either!

I think however it's sad in a way that the TPE legacy is always tinged with how big they "should" have been - bollox to that - their music and gigs affected many people's lives and surely that is what music is about -should we all spend the rest of our lives wondering how many more people we could have affected to make our lives meaningful?? Those who've missed out have lost out. Big up yourselve TPE - a great sound that will always have meaning in my life. :-) Well, I missed it all too but I too hope to relive the good old days with some live gigs I can attend too in the near future (yep, I’ve got a family now too:-)).
