Excellent, good to hear. I will pass the info along. Take Care! JL

I did not know he was from Texas but have had someone reach out to me because they haven't been able to contact him. Can anyone or Jim himself confirm he is safe after the storms/floods? Cheers, JL

Same here, I've got five kids...I hear ya. My bad Dan, JL

And just my opinion of course based on what I heard from the band he was trying to do in the last few years. It did not sound good to me. Did we really expect it to age well though?

I've been sitting on this for a couple weeks and haven't listened to it yet. The vocals are an issue for sure...

I've gone into it in great depth in many threads if you can find them, but the general gist of the whole thing is that yes, I love a lot of modern rock bands but to me these guys are very, very middle of the road and I think there are hundreds of better modern rock bands than them. Yes, they're okay, but it's kinda like those people who think Bon Jovi are the only good melodic rock band out there. There are hundreds of better bands than Shinedown, imo of course, yet people seem to think they're the beginning and end of the modern rock world. I find myself not surprised we disagree but really? Middle of the road? They may be the best in the genre of this kind of music. Way better than the other two bands mentioned. And that's the type of reply I'd expect from everyone who's only knowledge of modern rock is basically Shinedown and that's it. And that's what I mean by the Bon Jovi reply. If you heard the amount of modern rock bands I like to enjoy, you'd realise pretty quick that Shinedown are nothing special at all. The fact that you guys are comparing them to Cauterize or Papa Roach pretty much says it all. That's not far off comparing Pantera to Pretty Boy Floyd in terms of how similar they are. Yeah, they're all rock bands but that's about the end of the similarities. I'd be interested to see a list of all the bands they are supposedly better than in "the genre of this kind of music." I know enough about modern rock to know most of it sucks, other than Shinedown. I never used the above compared bands. I actually think Papa Roach is fairly decent but as I mentioned before, I wouldn't piss on Cauterize if they were on fire along with many more modern bands. And that's basically what I mean. I'd be interested to know how many good modern rock bands you've actually heard to make such a summation. Not that I think Cauterize would be your thing, but I'm guessing you've probably heard about a minute sample somewhere once and made your decision about them... as with most your modern rock assessments, I'm guessing. Nope, I downloaded an album you were raving about several years back and made it through four songs. Then I thanked God I didn't actually spend money on it

Yep, the Marvies were those three and they were very good.

I have seen this post as well and read all the replies from it. The deal is more than likely this would be Jess and three new guys. Hoping for some sort of small money that may be tied to the name for all of us that loved the band before. The sad fact is his voice..well, it's bad these days. And I can bet you any amount of money Butch wants zero to do with this.

Love the new tune and the last three albums. Should be a good one!

Love the song but the video kind of blows. You do a video with the word Playboy in it and it's a sausage fest?

Okay I will say it...I don't hate either song. So who IS playing guitar?

I would have to drink at least that much to get through a concert with Reece singing.

I'm sure Jon won't be losing any sleep over the fact that I'm probably never going to buy another Bon Jovi album - what irritates me is that he seems to be turning his back on the people who made him and his band a success in the first place. It would be idiotic to suggest that he should be penning material that sounds like it came from the late 80s but, equally, it has to be acknowledged that there are plenty of bands out there who are managing to keep both old AND new fans happy by maintaining links to their past without sounding dated. What bands exactly? Are you talking about small niche bands in our tiny genre? BJ are still a worldwide phenomenon, with 99% of their fans loving everything they do, including recent albums. For example - in my office there are loads of BJ fans (all of which have never heard of nor are interested in any of the bands that I listen to) - Facts - 1. None of them own the debut or 7800F 2. Most of the older ones got into BJ when SWW was released 3. 99% of BJ fans are like the guys in my office 4. 99% of fans are happy with BJs change in direction / sound and think its the best thing since sliced bread and harp on about what a wonderful diverse artist he is 5. 99% of BJ fans only listen to the music and couldnt really give a stuff who's on guitar..........as long as it sound alright. 6. 99% of BJ fans think BJ is the band Capiche?? I had to laugh at this a little brother...you have a strange office
