Billly B Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Seen the band the other week. Gained a whole lot of respect for Ivan Moody with all the donations he made to Veterans groups, Police groups, Shriner, and St Judes. I was expecting a typically scream and mumble fest. He came out with a broken heal and for the most part sounded better live than the albums. He stopped the concert after seeing a woman fall over the railing. Got security out from crowding her and made sure appropriate medical personnel got to her. I have rarely seen a front man for any band make eye contact he truly interact with the crowd. Typically they say the usually gimmick things and get the money and leave. The band was pretty good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There set was really good and i loved the way he interacted with the crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 They have a really awful band name. I bet it makes many write them off without hearing a note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked some of the songs before seeing it with my girl friend. I now like them a lot better. Their respect for the military, police, and first-responders. Breaking Benjamin was great but it seemed like they were less personable and more of a scripted performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their songs gets blasted consistently on the active rock radio stations and they can pretty much co-headline an arena/amphitheater anywhere in the states with a similar sized band of their contemporaries. I say that's a pretty darn sweet deal for having a crappy band name. Not a fan of theirs, but I have nothing against them.

It isn't a 15 minutes of fame thing either, they have been rocking the stage for over a decade and still drawing with album sales being excellent. With Co-headlining they are the show stopper. With the name it shows that it is about the music and their cause and not the marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real McCoy Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Not a fan of their music, but I respect the fact that they're pro-military, pro-police, etc. Their guitarist, Jason Hook, is the biggest poser ever, though. Go look up the pictures of him from before he was tatted up and was the guitar player in a latter day incarnation of the BulletBoys....

Billly B Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Just because he changes his style doesn't make him a poser. He is a good guitarist. You are talking like he is DJ Ashba which he is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
