I wonder if his comments about publishing rights, touring, etc. are just in reference to the Live situation? I hope so. I follow Candlebox fairly closely and things have always seemed like they were fine.

Candlebox took a 6 year hiatus from each other, returned with a new album, and have now begun another hiatus. Just as an outsider looking in, it doesn't seem like things are all that fine in Candlebox. They probably have some similar personal problems that Live have, while actually spending much less time together as a band.

I haven't seen anything about Candlebox taking any kind of extended hiatus. Taking time off in between albums isn't strange, and Candlebox' break up was quite a bit different from Live's. They lost members gradually until it was just Kevin and the guitarist, then came back with the full original line-up. The bassist only exited after the reunion because he is a lawyer and probably makes better money doing that.

Not saying there aren't personal problems, but I've never seen any hints of trouble like we all saw with Live.

Candlebox was smarter than Live not to make their problems public.

Then how do you know about the supposed "problems"?

I got the feeling from reading the blog... and watching some interviews with him... but Kevin is definitely a weirdo.

The way he writes this blog hurts my brain. It's like the run-on sentence is his best friend.

Kevin also says he is chief lyricist... I was hoping Taylor could write something. He can be poetic at times.

Mifamli Ok, so it's been several weeks since I've been on here spilling my guts, fears, hurts, thoughts etc., did you miss me? I sure did, I mean really, sometimes I just miss me you know! Anyway, it seems that I may tend to go a little bit overboard and lose some of you in the maze of my words and quirkiness so I'll do my best to ease up on the mind boggling (insert smirk here) and creative writing skills I picked up at DeVry over the spring quarter. Just trying to have a little fun in this crazy mixed up world wide web.

Ok, so here I am in Miami mixing The Gracious Few record with the one and only TLA (look it up) and I cant begin to explain to you how grateful I am that I get to do what it is that I love, honestly, this is my day job? I'm in love with music, I love everything about it, it is so beautiful and cute, i love it on blankets & towels & little paper bags, Music Forevah!

Right, so back to what i was saying. Music, Dahlheimer, Gracey, Hennesy, Taylor, Jerry Harrison & Tom Lord-Alge, Mifamli! This music is like crack cocaine baby, believe me when i tell you this, you are going to be addicted to the sounds of The Gracious Few. You'll be like "Hi, my names (insert name here) and I'm A Gracious-holic." It's that F*@+!*$ good. TURN IT UP LOUD, is all i can say because my ears are ringing with the sound of MUSIC!

You ever turn a song up so loud that you blew your speakers out and still didnt give a shit that the song no longer sounded the same but was still amazing yet you couldnt figure out why it sounded different and for that matter why you even cared that it sounded weird you just kept trying to turn it up LOUDER?!?

Little secret here for those of you that may not know. If you put a 1000 watt amp in your car to power your stereo you wont blow the speakers and you can turn that shit up so crazy loud that you'll blow your windows out before the speakers blow! Please note, i will not be held responsible for repairs to your car, car windows, speakers or ears if you choose to put said amp in your car, it's just a suggestion!

As I was saying, Having a blast down here, Delano last night, 8oz, Dewey's, Van Dyke tonight etc. etc. etc. but most importantly this record! So much magic happening and it's only day 3. We've been found once, the rest of you must not be looking hard enough, and will continue to slip the hints. If you can find us you can rock with us so keep on searching, we aint hiding!

antes de que nosotros hablemos otra vez,

I get the impression that both Ed and Kevin blog when they've had way too much coffee.

In light of our poking fun at Mr Ed Coffee, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen. It was posted to the TGF FB page a while back but I see it came from Kevin's page. Enjoy.....It's Dave Grohl

Not that funny with the knowledge that he was hospitalised with coffee abuse.

But funny again when you remember he tried to tell people that there was no such thing as AIDS/HIV

I think Nate Mendel (the bass player) was the driving force behind the Foo Fighters' support of the "Alive and Well" cause.

There used to be a link on their website to the organisation... but it was removed a long time ago

He's a genius anyway.

[Pokey]

Yeah I think they eventually removed it once they realised how ridiculous it was. I do remember some interviews with Grohl though where he was promoting Alive and Well and that he believed int it. blew my mind.
