I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...simply, they rock! No seriously. As a former resident of the great state of NC, I admit, I was a hanger on during AI because Chris was from Greensboro, he is a rocker and he was unlike anyone else that was on the show. Genuine, honest, charismatic, family man then, we found out he could sing. And sing well! So, here I am, now living in SoCal and missing home and I decided to download the album (why I came late to the party, I have no idea and no good reason - sorry guys). For a week straight, it was all I would listen to - over and over and over again. Chris' vocals and a kick ass band and you have the makings of a fine rock album - one of the better ones I have heard in years. But in the end, DAUGHTRY is genuine, honest and insanely good. Why not be a fan?
Real fans saw a great show
So I was one of three people in my section rocking it out and loving it! Who cares about the tepid response, you play to the ones who want to hear you and we heard you. We loved it!
The band was awesome and more than I imagined live. I rocked out the whole time, singing along. The guy beside me was like, "You know all the words!" Well, duh!
Best song of the night for me was "There and Back Again" but "What I Want' was pretty freaking phenomenal too. Keep rockin' it, guys! There are some VA/NC transplants out here (like me) that will always be cheering from the back - just be sure to listen for us!
