alan and i were in royal oak last week and we saw this guy with a shirt that said "shove your fucking foot up your ass" im not sure why i thought it was so funny but i started laughing my ass off :lol:

to be on topic, i can't get the song "dim halo" out of my head

i can see your eyes when the stars hang low
like a crown the moon wears a dim halo

Try thrift stores. There's this awesome second hand store in downtown Toronto called Black Market and they've got the coolest t-shirts. That's where i got my kool-ass shirt. :mrgreen:

I did that. The value worlds by me suck. I need to find some good thrift stores.

Luckily for me, my mom was a cool teenager and she went on a road trip when she was 19 and got all these awesome t-shirts, kept them, and gave them to me last year. That's where the infamous "tampa bay rowdies" t-shirt came from. I've got one that says, "go hike the canyon" and "I climbed pikes peak" too. oh, and "spring break daytona beach, 1974." I wish I was as cool as my mom was when she was my age. :cry:

I saw them last night. I was surprised by their energy, especially Ryan's. I couldn't really hear some of their songs because the sound was pretty bad, but I downloaded some songs and they're pretty good.

Hope there's a good future for them.

once in a while, I go to my closet and take out my greenwheel drum stick and just stare at it for a few seconds. :nod:

Then I put it back in the closet. yep.

I would have gone for a stick, but I was distracted by the waterbottle that made contact with me :lol:

yeah, mine's all shredded up at the top. He really rocks out on the drums!

Yeah, in Portland he was really tearing up the sticks. He had a bunch of extras, and sometimes he had toss one to his side and pull out an extra. I saw several chunks of stick flying into the crowd later on in the set. It was amusing.

Greenwheel rocked last night they made Audiovent look like a band that was made up of a bunch of guys of the street. The singer of AV is HORRIBLE. I couldnt hear him and when I could I thought Brandon Boyd was singing.

Greenweel on the other hand rocked. I def. want to see them again in concert. The singer was amazing he very strong stage presence like Raine. He also used a different microphone then most bands which was cool. OLP should definatley take them on tour again.

^I totally agree. In Minneapolis when I saw them, I was impressed with Greenwheel and upset I didn't record them instead of Audiovent. I enjoyed a single song from Audiovent's set and I hadn't heard Greenwheel before and I rocked out to 4 or 5 of them.

I saw Greenwheel in Chicago and they didn't do anything to impress me. I liked the lead singers energy (although I couldn't tell if he was into the music or just doing it for the crowd) but the rest of the band was awefully borring. The whole time they stayed in place not even looking like they cared about the music. To me they looked like a hired band for the lead singer. Also, and I don't know if people have already said this (I'm sure they have, but I didn't have time to read all the posts) but the singer looks like he wants to be Brandon from Incubus and sounds like a whinny Rob Thomas. Sorry, they are OK to watch but nothing more then that. Just my oppinion, please don't get mad about it.
