The GRATITUDE Thread
For Chris, Josh, Joey, JP and Brian:
THANK YOU for every autograph you sign, every fan you hug, every wave you give, every smile you
have for us. Thanks for the endless radio, tv and print interviews you do when you are asked the SAME questions over and over again. Thanks for listening to our little stories about how we are your BIGGEST fan. Over and over, city to city.
Chris , God Bless you for understanding that we feel part of your success and going our of your way to include us. Thank you for not being angry every time a pushy fan flashes a camera right in your face. Thank you for making the best of venues that do not give you the freedom to give the performance you want, and thanks for rockin' the house anyway! Thank you for sleeping on a moving bus, sharing a small space with a bunch of guys,when you really just want to be home with your family. Thanks for sacrificing your personal life to share your voice, your heart and soul and your talent with us through your music. Thanks for being true to your values, morals and family by being the man you are and have always been. Thanks for being wonderfully imperfect and allowing us to love you just like you are.
Fans come in all shapes and sizes, and we like to think we are the best. We know you think so too. Please forgive us for also being imperfect ,and know that we love you and support you.
Your wish is our command!
With love and respect,
Gayle

a huge thank you to RCA!!!! i for one was going insane yesterday....we need our Daughtry and our girls!!!

for signing with RCA.they are taking such good care of us here!!!

for putting all of our thoughts into beautiful words! I have NEVER felt this way about one band before in my life! Daughtry is helping me in ways I can't describe. Their voices, lyrics, looks, personalities etc are all perfect in my eyes. To see them perform live was unbelievable. My dream would be to meet them (yah, me and everyone else, I know
) But for now, listening to their awesome music is What I Need!

My god just reading the first comment from Gayle23 had me all choked up. This band is just phenomenal and I know that you all feel the same way I do about them. I have so much love and so much pride for them that I want to burst and cry happy proudful tears. I cannot thank American Idol enough for giving Chris his moment which in turn gave us Daughtry. They have been on tour for over a year and I know they have touched the lives of so many fans. I know they touched mine on 3-7-08 when I got to meet them and stand stage side for the show. They treat their fans like friends and they go out of their way to make sure their fans are happy and experience a great show. I don't think you could find a better group of guys that give it their all each and every day. I know they have their days, they feel like crap, they miss their family, they just want to sleep in their own bed, but on they go, city by city touching lives, and making dreams come true. They deserve each and every good thing that comes their way and I know they will continue to be successful. I will always back them 100% and I am grateful for all they do for us fans. I am sure they have had fan horror story or got bad rap for a bad experience someone had, but all in the all they shine above the rest and are incredible guys. And for all of that, I am grateful. I am also grateful for RCA and all of their involvement with this site and dealing with all of us! That is a job in itself.

wonderfully written.

alot about his Boey deal...I know it has nothing to do with the tour...but bear with me.
Chris meant so much to her in the hardest of times. His music and his soul gave her so much comfort, so much hope. I think that he and the guys have done that for alot of us, in a much less dramatic way. Its easy to get beat down by daily life and struggles, lose the connections you have with friends because of how busy we all get. If you even bother to keep up with the news, some days can make you wonder what is left good in the world. And then comes Daughtry...
that voice, so strong and pure. The way we have watched them learn about each other, musically and personally.We have witnessed their bonds forming, seen how they come together when one of them is in need..... building their own family ,beyond the music. They let us experience the joy they feel everytime they are on stage, its almost like they want us to know and understand.
they are such a powerful and positive force in my life. They live their lives so honesty, and are such good people...and that is inspiring to me. I cannot imagine the pressures they face daily, and still manage to do the next right thing. The treat us with us kindness, and there are days that it must be mind numbing for them...yet they give us everything they have, every day. All they really ask from us is that we show up...I hope we give them so much more.
So many strong bonds have been formed here, so many friendships that no longer are just about the music. It brought us together, but it isnt the only reason why we stay.
I hope the guys really understand how much they meant to her, and to us all. Sometimes I wonder if they really know. I hope one of them will wander across this thread one day, and I hope everyone will continue to leave them messages of love and support .
May your families be blessed in 2008!
XOXO

So grateful that my little girl isnt feeling sick anymore.

I am so grateful that all the little Daughtry children have their daddy's home for Christmas and that the guys are once again in the embrace of their families. Grateful for the sacrifices of these amazing families, and for letting us
into a part of their lives.
SO grateful for the friends this site and band has brought me, and for the lessons and perspective on what is important that have come from those friendships. its been a really great year...enjoy your time off guys, we will be waiting for your return!

that the guys are going to be "home" for the holidays. They've been working non-stop & have given their fans so much. Just happy that they can now get some well deserved rest & get to spend time with their families.
Thank you DAUGHTRY for an amazing 2007!
It was an incredible year. Love you guys!
