Everyone I know has heard of OLP, but most of my friends haven't actually heard their music. I find that very surprising, as I live in Toronto.

or caves, perhaps?
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

Most people at my school are into that rap crap, so they know nothing about good music.

1> I can make a game as well, but scool isnt permitting of this right now, perhaps in the summer.

2> OLP has been my fave band since 94, I just wanted to lead in with that...

Puddle of Mudd was in my top three live acts I was last year. To put that in perspective I saw

Edgefest [Hip, OLP, Finger Eleven, etc]
Puddle of Mudd
Big Sugar
Pearl Jam
Silverchair
Neil Young
Matt Good
Offspring [in a club]
Finger Eleven again
The trews
Sarsstock[Stones, AC DC, Rush]



POM has some crazy live energy. their lyrics arent like PJ or OLP, but they still have more meaning than Good Charolette, Simple Plan, or Sum 41. I am a grunge kid, grew up on Soundgarden, Chains, PJ, and Nirvana. POM isn't ripping off Nirvana on purpose, it's called a record deal. The company calls the shots when you're freshly signed. give them a chance, check them in those small venues you're saying peope are hyping up as a huge announcement. You wont get the chance in a couple of years.

Nah, puddle of mudd is the same as everything else that's came out in the past few years. There lyrics are weak (I say this with ignorance because I've only heard what i've been forced to on the radio)


Maybe you like them and thats cool, I just go for a differen't style of music.

Fair enough, but I wouldn't be looking for lyrical value in a single.

'We are all innocent we are, we are"

how many times do I have to hear that? Check out Korns new video for "Y'all want a single" I don't like korn or the song, but the video really drives a good point home.

People at my school kept saying the concert this year was going to be Puddle of Mudd, but its actually Hoobastank, Ima Robot, and the Lost Prophets.

March 28th....if anybody is actually curious.

i heard hoobastanks new cd was pretty good. As for Puddle of Mudd, they non-singles are better then the singles, and they're good if your looking for some new nirvana like stuff. Nothing earth shattering, but hey, there's lots of other bands that arn't doing anything earth shattering either....ahem....*cough*....yeah

Most of my friends only know about OLP because I listen to them all the time. They haven't really heard any of it. Except, of course, the token friend who has heard Innocent and think it rocks.

Not that it's necessarily bad... maybe he'll get into more of their stuff. I hope.

haha same case here. im like THE olp fan around here and the onli reason my freinds will bother to listen to them is because i obsess about how good their songs are or i make them listen :P . people KNOW the band, like they hear them on the radio here and there but they dont KNOW them like everyone on this forum knows them. and half the people prefer their old stuff like naveed or supermans dead and have lost their interest.
