Are you referring to the re-recorded versions of the TC songs? I figured they weren't mastered recordings or anything. Just DIY style stuff. But those are just rough drafts of a re-record project? Is that the cat you're trying to let out of the bag here?

Don't let me jump to a crazy conclusion now...

I still can't get the awesomeness of the originals out of my head.

There is hardly anyone who can do better than the original. And it concerns not only Live. However, I think you will not deny that Chris is a great fit there, kid.

As a fan, what I want now is to meet this new person. What's he like? Is he down to earth or is he arrogant? I guess I haven't looked for an interview but if anyone has a good one so I can learn more about shinn (in 2012) please forward it to me.

Bud, from what the people around the board say (some have met him already) he is a very shy and down-to-earth guy. No interviews have surfaced so far and I think it is a good thing. He still remains a bit mysterious

4) Whoever marked that version of I Alone as "final" must have been smoking something. The mix is horrible...the drums (especially prevalent with the cymbals) are way too loud, and the transitions between the verse and pre-chorus are not smooth. the other ones I found better, but the mix on I Alone was horrible IMO.

Those mixes were all recorded live in rehearsal studio and not well mixed or mastered I bet. They still sound cool to my ear though.

These are clearly live recordings that aren't intended to be final mixes. They were mixed and mastered a little but no more than that. Consider them demos, I suppose.

Personally I hope they are moving on rather than spending more time on them, seems like it's just a way for fans to hear what Chris sounds like and no more than that. Not a bad idea considering the situation, plus they've got the recording gear so there's very little overhead.

It's funny though, I like the way I Alone is mixed.

Its the little things that are making me an even bigger fan of Chris. White Discussion is the biggest example. During the instrumental sections he understands the importance of that moment. He doesn't ruin it by talking through it or making up some stupid lyrics, instead he embraces it by grabbing a guitar and joining in.

I had the amazing good fortune to be front row in York on the 12th, run into Chris after the show right outside the theater, and then sit next to him at the White Rose.

On stage on monday he was nervous and I think it's been mentioned how he appeared to be finding his proper presence (I'm really excited to have heard that he seemed even more comfortable at SXSW). I stood next to a photographer friend (actually I was between her and Jimmy much of the night) and she told me just how nervous Chris was. But I could tell that from where I stood. It was obvious, just from watching him on stage, how humbled and grateful he was to be there... especially at the close of tbd... when he covers his face with his hands.

outside the theater he was hysterical, he was very grateful to any comments he received, he had no ego whatsoever - took pictures with anyone who wanted them and chatted it up with everyone who spoke to him. When he took a picture with me he grabbed me and had me in a weird/funny headlock kind of thing that still makes me laugh. he was goofy (I think riding a pure adrenaline wave).

At the White Rose, as soon as he came in a few of us said hi and he signed some setlists and tickets and gave everyone roses. (from what I understand they were ones that his mom had given him, and he wanted to share the love). He again was funny and warm and just seemed genuinely thrilled to be there. He sat with and talked to Kevin Martin for a while, and I had no intention of disrupting him. By the time I wanted to leave, though, CS was talking to someone else, and that guy was blocking my exit, so I had to interrupt to get up. As I did, the other guy walked away, Chris shook my hand, asked my name, thanked me for coming to the show. Seriously. And he engaged me and my friend in a 5-10 minute conversation before spilling his drink all over himself (talking with his hands). By the way, he spilled a drink all into his lap, looked at it, shrugged his shoulders, and kept talking. people passed him napkins, but he just did his best to wipe his lap and didn't seem too irritated by it. When I left he shook my hand again and said "I'll see you again!" and I said "absolutely"

So yeah, Badman, I'd say he's down to earth. he's the opposite of arrogant. I know a lot of people are going to throw out some EK stories of arrogance (I have lots of great EK stories as a fan) but this isn't about comparing the two. Just compared to the rest of humanity that I've encountered, Chris Shinn seems like an incredibly normal, warm, thankful, pleasant, polite person. It was a pleasure to meet him.
