Yeah. I saw them on the Avalanche tour last year (got to meet Adelitas Way's Rick Dejesus) and had a great time. Who else is with them now that 3DG is over with?

Yeah. I'd bet the ski business is down. Here in Mizzou we haven't had a good snow (talking over 3 inches or so) in over 2 years. My little girl is 4 now and doesn't remember what sledding is like.

The first thing I noticed in those vids is it seems like he's actually singing better. Some of the last leg he was singing so hard that it was deterring from the song. Like the direction.

Have fun man. Shinedown is always a fun show (even if the bv's are partially fake nowadays).

Just finished watching The Game. Holy crap, I can't believe I had never seen it. Highly recommended.

Well if we're going by that then you'd definately want to be more of a Blackbird or Show Me A Sign guy than a Ties That Bind guy, lol.

Yes. but you know it's not going to happen. They'll play 4-5 songs from from ODR and the new album. 6-7 from BB and if we're lucky, 3 from ABIII.

I agree, I'd love more variety. But I'm also a realist.

It had a very country vibe to it, which I'm hit and miss on. But being as I'm gong to see these guys play in a couple of months, I liked it quite a bit. You're right though, it is a bubbly songs. 7/10.

I guess I'm in the minority w/Jim. The tracks on ABIII were perfect length wise. I want an album where I can go see the guys live and hear 5 or 6 brand new songs. Not going to do it if they go all Jethro Tull on us.

Agreed. Anyone classy enough to love that solo is sure to have some awesome favorite parts.

My favorite guitar solo ever (even moreso than Blackbird) from 3:43 to 4:45.

I was listening to this album the other day (which I never do, I can't stand most of it) and I think the intro riff to Bullets could be a sibling to White Knuckles. I kind of see where Mark was coming from with that riff.

Bon Jovi on April 13th. Also holding out for Sevendust and *crosses fingers* AB dates. Also 45 minutes down the road is Missouri S&T. It's a college full of engineering nerds. But one weekend a year (St. Patty's day) it becomes the biggest party campus in the States. The saturday after St. Pats ...

I don't think age is an issue either. I'm a pretty big Def Leppard fan. Those guys are in their mid-50's. Went to one of their shows last august, and they still rock. The AB boys still have alot of time left.

There will be more. We should be used to three year gaps by now.

New Monty Python in the works? Don't mind if I do!

Just out of curiosity, how many do you burn with a brisk walk? Sometimes I feel like I get more power walking than jogging.

I wouldn't think so either. You'd have to run like the Roadrunner to do that.

Anyone like old westerns? I'm getting ready to watch My Name Is Nobody. It came widely recommended by a friend.

Hate to sound like I'm beating a dead horse here, but yeah, you can run in the cold. I'm from the midwest too. But I run 3-4 times a week. Between that and portioning my food better (and cutting off fatty snacks) I have lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks. You just need to will yourself to do it.
