Tour Diary #2

Average: 4.9 (452 votes)

Hey There,

What’s up everyone? Today we are in Council Bluffs Iowa. I don’t think we have ever been here so it should be a kick ass show tonight. The last week of shows have been awesome…Fargo…. Green Bay…Bloomington…. St.. Louis, all were some of the best shows we have done this year. The people just really seemed to appreciate us being there…. which gives a great vibe when we are on stage.

We are starting to write more on the road. We have some great new ideas for songs for the new record. Hopefully by the end of this run we will have a handful of songs to share with you all.

We have also been working on a lot of live video of the last few shows. I am pretty sure if you go on our website or you tube you could find them…. they turned out pretty good so check them out.

I am looking forward to the break coming up. These last five weeks have gone by quick…but I can’t wait to get home and see my wife and son. I am sure it’s going to be a shock when I see James…they grow so fast…it’s scary. While I am home its James’s birthday…so that will be cool to be able to celebrate with him.

Anyways that’s all for now…talk to ya soon.

Keep Rocking!

Cheers,
Brad

Glad the tour is going so well for you guys. Can't wait to hear some new songs, that will be great.

Saw the live video's already and they are fabulous! Get Out Alive was from the show I was at and it freaking rocked. Any plans of doing a full live video from this tour? That would be kick ass, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Smiling

Awwww......Happy Birthday to James! Smiling My son is 6 now, it's unbelievable how it goes by in the blink of an eye.

Take care and keep rockin'! Hope you all have a wonderful break. I'm hoping to get to the show in Asbury Park right after your break. Smiling

Ok for now---good bye Smiling

November 17 Best Day Of My Life! ....Its Not Too Late Its Never Too Late

You were here just last year witn Nickelback...well right across the street anyway at the Qwest Center in Omaha. The show was awesome, I couldnt DREAM up a better combination of bands playing in one night. I hate sitting through boring opening bands but I actually own Seether and BB albums as well so the whole night rocked.

Yay! I am so glad that you guys are writing new music, although the old will never lose its appeal for me. I am looking forward to seeing you live again in November. I am a parent, also, of a 9 yr. old and a 12 yr. old, and they are JEALOUS when I get to go to your shows. (I go to rock out and pretend I am not turning 30 whenever you are close enough... my treat to myself.) I am just glad that there is a band my kids and I can enjoy together that I know are good people trying to send out a positive message in what can be a pretty lousy world sometimes. Enjoy your time off, and just know that your fans really appreciate all that you do as a band. Take care and can't wait for the next show I get to see!

Hey Brad,
finally got to check out your Website and to find some more on you guys.. amazing ... and I had no clue! Hope your tour continues to be a blast! Hope you'll make it to Frankfurt again someday. All the best for you and your family - enjoy the break!

The Band and I are Desprete for a base player and some vocals so if you live or can get to Idaho Email me address at bottem

Awww! Is this going to be James' first birthday? I wish I could see him; i bet he's adorable! Anyways, I saw you a week or 2 ago in Huntsville and you guys kicked @sssssss. I'll be seeing you again in another month. You guys really know how to get the crowd going and excited. I've seen you twice and both times, I had the time of my life! I can't WAIT to hear some of the new songs! I bet they're greattt, and when you come up with a release date, I'll be couting down the days! Well, glad the tour is going well with you and I hope you have a great time on the road!

OH MY GOD! Amazing! I sprained my f-ing neck it was so great! I have been to many rock concerts but that performance was out of this world. You all should definitely be proud of yourself. You sound almost better than your album and I was just blown away! BTW Adam had a great hat! The night was almost perfect except the guy who said he wanted me to have sex with my face... creeper?! LOL Awesome job guys! Congrats on getting to go see your family, it's gotta be a fun job but I couldn't deal with not being with my family! Keep being strong though, everyone should see your performance at least once in their lives!

You nailed it Brad. Great vibes and we really did appreciate you being there!! We drove over 8 hours to meet you guys for the meet & greet and you didn't disappoint us. Thanks for the photos and autographs. We really had an awesome night. You were so accomodating when we met you and the girls really appreciated it. You take care of yourself and your family and keep rockin!! Tess, Dailyn & Janae

Your concert was my first rock concert ever.I've loved you guys ever since i started high school and you've helped me cope with all of the girl drama and broken hearts and anger toward my parents. I heard you guys were coming over the summer and that's when i knew i had to get my tickets.my friend and i went to your concert and you kicked ASS. I LOVED IT!!!!!!! so...

THANKS FOR COMING TO FARGO!!!!!

You guys brought something different to our city (not country) and everyone i know who went loved you all.

You HAVE to come back!!!!!

Wish James Happy Birthday for me! Glad your having fun on tour!! Keep on rockin'

----------Not To Late Late, It's Never Too Late----------

This was my first rock concert and I had A BLAST!!! all three bands were amazing but you guys were by far the best, "So here's the deal...I have a f***ing cold" pretty sure my friend and I cracked up the entire time about it!!! HOPE YOU COME BACK TO COUNCIL BLUFFS OR OMAHA SOOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!

You guys were Awesome at Hershey Stadium i loved it. Say Happy Birthday to James for me. BY the way enjoy your break and i can't wait to hear new songs.

hey

so ya i was reading and herd that Thee Days Grace likes hockey. but theres only one problem is that u guys like the maple leafs lol. I'm a big fan of u guys and u r my favorite band, but I'm from calgary and, go Flames! lol rock on Three Days Grace!

Last year, my son Josh and I met you at a Meet & Greet in Baltimore, Maryland (at the Sonar). We had all kinds of pictures taken with you & the other guys. When we were at home, I tried loading them on my computer, but accidentally deleted the entire set of pics., video clips from the camera, etc... Needless to say, it was a SAD day. However, one thing that I've always wanted to share with you... Josh, who is now 17... has been taking guitar lessons. He asked you a question that night about how did you toughen up your finger tips so it didn't hurt so much. Your suggestion was pickle juice, so the next day... we bought pickles. Fast forward to one year later... Josh is doing so well with guitar.... he's becoming an awesome player... he loves acoustic & the base. Even though we don't have our meet & greet pics.... we still have some awesome memories from that show & with meeting you!! Thank you so much!!

Oh... we did catch you at the Merriweather show last month in Columbia, Maryland!!! You guys are great!!! Loved the show!!!

Take care,
Anita

My band and i needs a new vocal (singer) so if you can put an add somewhere that would be great thanks brad
