This thread reminds me of those interns that get hired to hand out free stuff to drum up interest.

I agree - The video is definitely lame and the guest vocalist is wayyyyyyyyyy too prominent in the video.

Nothing ya can do about that now though...I can't wait to see what their next single/video is...should be awesome..:D

Just finished downloading the Leno show. Damn the sound guy is REALLY lame. They obviously don't have a damn clue on how to use a soundboard and mix music. Horrible......the girl could sing and did a decent job but everything else about the sound was horrid.

I have to LOL @ the wolfman comments in that thread, but I'm with what X-Man said - I really don't notice it.

How can you identify the DRC? Is it just because you can hear her inhale/exhale? :confused:

there wasn't any "DRC" at the live show

if you are upset about this "DRC" thing on the CD, just go to a live show, it sounds so much better than my cheap car speakers, or even my 15 year old home stereo
if you get the chance , go see them live, they are out west this week, tomorrow/Tuesday in SLC, UT and Wednesday in Boise, ID
the shows are only ~$10 , so if you like good Rock , check out the live show

The set will probably be just under an hour. Maybe longer if they play the Heart Shaped Box cover...:D

As for who's opening it depends on the show...both times I went they had an opening act(s), which sucked because everybody was there to see Ev. :D

the shows recently have had from 1-3 opening acts of various quality ranging from major suckage to decent (from reading various show reviews on fan sites). in kansas city there was only one opener, they were kinda blah
the show in KC started at 7 pm , the opener did about 40 minutes and then it took about 20 minutes to reset the stage/etc

Ev took that stage about 8 pm , the set was a little on the short side, ~50 minutes including the encore . speculation for the relatively short set is 3 fold, most of these club gigs are "radio station listener party" type deals, in KC they had to go to a club at another location for a "radio station sponsored" appearance/meet the fans deal. 2nd, they are only promoting the Fallen album, not doing any old stuff at this point. 3rd, they don't have a full road crew in terms of the keyboards, strings and stuff you hear on the album, so they may not want to do the songs from the album that have prominent parts using those instruements


but what do i know? :D

they added that at the St. Louis show, so it was closer to an hour of stage time

Hey now! Just because the Nashville show got rescheduled when Amy got sick doesn't mean I get the boot!

I am still going to the April 12th show, dammit!!

I don't know who you are anymore, Wolfman......

Well, I'm back. That was an awesome concert. I was in the front row the whole time so I could reach out and touch Amy and she even spit her water in my face :) Unfortunately we didn't get to meet them after. Also the vocals weren't as clear as I would have liked, but oh well .. it was good.

Exactly. They played it last night so I'm hoping that it'll be on again! :)

Wolfman,

Dude, you wore the shirt of the band that was playing when you went to the concert? That's so lame
