A very WTF comment.</blockquote> I can sort of grudgingly understand what he means (if he really did say that). I was initially surprised that he picked Straight Ahead as the one AH song to play, especially since the ones that people seem to talk about the most are Silver, Truth, Let Go, Porcelain and Makeover. However, Straight ahead is more rocking than all of those songs and is probably more fun for the band to play. Let Go does have a guitar solo but it has an overall slower pace than Straight Ahead. Even though I would love to hear more AH, I do think it's very important for David to consider the band when he is picking songs, especially if he wants them to stick around. Otherwise it would just be David Cook and a bunch of backup musicians, and its obvious that he doesn't want that. David should still keep in mind, however, that some of his most powerful performances are the slower songs like Lie, Permanent and TWIK, where you can really hear his voice. I would hate to see songs like that phased out because they're not exciting for the band to play (Rumor has it that Neil hates Avalanche, which might explain why we don't hear it much). Regarding MWK songs as being better for the band: They might be good for the band but I don't think those songs necessarily suit Cook's voice (with the exception of Anodyne which he co-wrote). I really disliked Make Me, but I think 'till I'm blue is an improvement. I looked at a few videos of the Red, White & Boom concert and the band was on fire!

One song in particular that I heard Andy sing was Anodyne and he didn't pack the punch that David does when he sings the song. David's vocals are so much better than Andy, who is a little bit more mellow in his style but I feel David puts a lot more passion and feeling to it and packs a bigger punch. I think I read that David & Neil wrote the song but Andy performed it with MWK. Andy might have had some say in the song too, but this song screams David Cook. Just the word "anodyne" screams "word nerd." Andy is a prime example of being talented but never getting that big break. Neil also produced Cook's 2nd indy album. I have to think it must be difficult for Andy to be now a back up vocalist & musician but frankly, his career wasn't going anywhere and David is the star of this group. After Cook left MWK to strike out on his own he still didn't forget his friends as obviously, he was working with Neil and also got Andy to join on with EEB. I thought I read that Cook is going one step further in not only getting an official name for EEB but making everyone partners rather than just Cook's employees. That is why Cook is such a stand-up guy. I know that Andy was the lead singer with MWK.

It would honor both David and Andy/Neal as songwriters, and please the fans too. It has crossed my mind before to wonder if it's because Neal is music director that they don't sing AH songs but MWK songs instead. I like Neal but that kind of bugs me. I wish David would explain why they won't/don't sing AH songs when the fans are crazy about them (and they are great songs too). I also wonder if they have plans to re-record them and are saving them for that (but that's probably wishful thinking). I don't like Andy's voice. But in order to make the concerts longer and rest David's voice at the same time, I think it would be fine if Andy sang a couple of songs while David took a break. Actually there's a discussion going on at DCO about all this right now. Or it was yesterday anyway. I don’t see why they can’t play 1 MWK song and 1 AH song each concert.

I hope that's not true. If so, he should be just as tired of playing MWK songs. Surely, he's done those more. I didn't think Neal/Andy made the solo rounds with David in Tulsa. Hopefully, even if Neal is the music director, David still has the last say on what eventually gets added to the set and what doesn't. So, they’re not playing Let Go because Neal is tired of it!?

The closest he got when he was with MWK to singing lead was the cover of hunger strike where him and Andy sang. Now Andy was the lead singer of MWK and David joined an established group so he would not have supplanted Andy for lead. So I think the same holds true for this group, it formed around David Cook as lead singer and I would not expect Andy to sing lead in this group just as David did not sing lead in MWK. I would love more AH songs, if Let Go is a no go then any other would fit the bill. I am one who loves the whole album also.

The Shattered Dreams cover rocks. It's a little obscure. The only reason I know it is because my HAC radio station has an 80's request Friday. I don't know how big a hit it was back in the day? Till I'm Blue sounds go but I'll need to hear it a few more times. I think the whole Andy debate is much a do about nothing. The problem I have with the whole debate are the extreme reactions. I think there are some Andy fanatics that turn me off and there are Andy haters that turn me off even more. I love MWK cause they have some great music. Andy and Neal are made talented musicians in their own right. I think that with Dave and Joey and Kyle they have found a great chemistry that not a lot of bands have. Andy and Neal are some of the musicians I think Dave references when he says there are talented people out there that have never made it. I think together they are greater than they are alone I also wish they would play more Analog Heart songs. I know a fan asked Neal about Let Go specifically. I think this was at the start of the first leg of the tour. And he said that he was tired of that song. I guess he played it a lot back in Tulsa with Dave. And I think Dave was asked and he said you would have to ask Neal because he is the "Musical Director" So we have to blame Neal for no AH songs. Shakes fist at that damn Musical Director.

It wasn't done at my show on 4/2 and that was one of the highlights I was really looking forward to seeing after seeing the numerous concert vids beforehand but I still enjoyed the show anyway. :)

Nobody was worried about David Lee Roth owning Hot 4 Teacher when they covered that. Makes me chuckle cuz it's not like the boys really need advice in how to proceed as a band. Hmmm, how does that one part of Feed Your Ego go...You don't like what I do, but it's not fucking about you. So go on and feed your ego.... That about sums it up for me. Whatever decision they make, I'm sure they will do whatever is best for their creative vibe and not worry too much about the old school MWK purists movement or the I love Cook and only Cook activists or whatever. Most fans are probably middle of the road on the issue anyway. I'm pretty sure we will get primarily Dave on lead vocals, but if they want to occasionally mix it up, evs. Hell, it might even be fun to throw a Kyle song in there.
