NO WE CAN'T ANDY! IT'S PRIVATE REMEMBER!? GEEZ.

To those who were at the LP: how was the live version?

I think that was the one they had tuning problems with and wound up not playing.

That was Tore My Heart Out I think, ABW left Another Heart blank in his live review which could possibly be argued isn't a ringing endorsement.

That was Tore My Heart Out.

Live it was pretty awesome!

Wow, some of those lyrics seem like a direct attack to Stapp.

yup exactly what i was thinking, even if they arent they fit well with the situation.

Thanks, these were exactly my thoughts.

#4 on the iTunes US rock chart already! Hope it gets to #1!

Had Stapp not had his blow up/crazy ordeal, would you still think it's about him?

I never got the feeling they were about him. I'd like to think Mark is over it all by now. It's certainly been long enough. He doesn't strike me as the type that would sit down and write a song like this about Stapp. Not like Stapp did on The Great Divide.

Yes.

Stapp didn't have a meltdown in 2012 and something had happened or couldn't be resolved to where they hadn't spoke from 2012 until Scott did have the meltdown.

So yes.
Mark seems permanently bitter towards Scott Stapp.

What I mean by that is that most of his songs start out really metal-like but then the choruses hit and it seamlessly switches over to all-audiences -welcome rock. I'm not saying I want cookie monster vocals or anything, just want something brutally heavy from him.

I actually do want cookie monster vocals. It suits him. Imagine a Tremonti song starting with a cookie monster roar going into an intro at insanity level in death metal style. It'd be so awesome if he'd be able to mix up cookie monster and clean like Mikael Akerfeldt does at Opeth or Tomi Joutsen on Amorphis' Silent Water.

I don't even know if he can or wants to do those type of vocals.
