Thousands can't figure out just what they did, just what they, just what they did...

God help us all... :uhh:
“Music doesn’t have the power to change the world. What music does is it changes people, & that changes the world, so to say that music doesn’t change people anymore is just ridiculous. It does everyday. It doesn’t have to be on a political or social level. You could be feeling shitty & it makes you happy & if that’s all it does, it’s changing the world. It’s making it a better place.” ~ Raine Maida

Yeah....because the first thing I do when I meet them is insult them and their music.

The creeper fans are the ones that wait by their bus...

Don't drop to that level, Johnny. Instead stand in the show holding a sign saying "Steve: I'll wipe that stupid grin off your face with Raine's HIPT voice."

A lot of people's opinions changed on Gravity (one way or the other) between the initial leak and 6 months, 1 year, 5 years later. I initially liked it, then over time grew to dislike more and more of the tracks especially the singles. But the way they've played Somewhere Out There live lately is really quite nice.

It takes A LOT to get Johnny excited...


How much does it take for him to get upset? Perhaps his team losing 1st round in the playoffs will be enough... :bonk:

IF the season series was won by the Pens, I'd be worried. But as it stands, the series was split with each team winning two.

bah...means nothing....Pens are a completely different team in the playoffs. Im thinking series ends 4-1...And i feel pretty generous giving the Sens 1 win...so dont be surprised if you witness a sweep.

we had a girl form Australia at the Toronto VIP too - i swear to god most of the vip people arent even from the cities the shows are in its crazy - tons of Americans have been coming up to these shows too

nice to see that kind of support and dedication - even from you johnny ;)

Oh and I honestly think the VIP is well worth the 200 bucks - it seems that only people that have not done it still say that :)

Actually if you break down everything it is about the same amount money wise.

Take T.O.( shows I went to )
Tickets (2 shows)-$120-$130
Book-$35
Clumsy/SM posters( though ones given are smaller) -$30.
VIP laminate( given to me by friend)
Meeting the band( PRICELESS)

close to $200 but I did not aget a nice fancy photo to show for it. Did not have guranteed seats in first few rows..
I also got the hoodie and the buttons.. I think this is the most I spent on merch for an OLP tour


TW. In the last 5-7 years( since Gravity) Fans have been crossing the border from all over the USA. Even a few people from Europe have come out to the shows.. If OLP can not make it to the places these people live they will come up.. I lost count on how many times I been up to Canada for them..

This is s ahuge tour and unfortunately only Canada seems to get it. It is either come up to shows or miss it all together..

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again
