FADED SILVER SCREEN

FREAK: THIS SONG IS ABOUT YOUNG ACTORS WITH PROMISING CARRERS, BUT DIE YOUNG.....BRANDON LEE, JAMES DEAN, RIVER PHOENIX..... ETC...WHETHER THE FAME, LIFESTYLE, OR THE BUISNESS SUCKS, EVERY BIT OF ENERGY OUT OF YOU IT SEEM
SOMEHOW THE WAY TO GREATNESS IS TO DIE YOUNG..... SO UNFORTUNATE AND TRAGIC... I BROUGHT THE RIFF IN TO REHEARSAL ONE NIGHT AND HAD SOME OF THE SONG COMPLETE, BUT ONCE T-BONE PUT ME THROUGH THE RINGER ON THE ARRANGEMENT AND TEMPO OF THE SONG IT CAME OUT MUCH BETTER THAN MY ORIGINAL VERSION. CUBBY ADDED THE INTRO TO THE SONG AND MATT HAD THE HOOK AND IDEA TO THE SONG THAT
HE HAD WRITTEN IN THE BATHROOM EARLIER THAT DAY......IN THE STUDIO THE ADDITION OF PAULAS BACKING VOCALS WERE THE MISSING LINK...

HOLLYWOOD MADMAN:

FREAK: WE HAVE BEEN PLAYING THIS SONG LIVE FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS.... ITS A CROWD PLEASER, AND I GOTTA TELL YA, DREW CAPTURED WHAT WE ARE ABOUT LIVE ON THIS SONG..... A TONGUE AND CHEEK ROCKER ABOUT FAME, DRUGS, WOMEN, MONEY...... HELL ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL. HENCE THE LYRIC "HOLLYWOOD MADMAN SPENDING ALL THE
MONEY THAT YOU AINT SEEN YET...........OR DIAMOND RINGS AND YOUR COCAINE
PEARLS GIVING OUT RIDES ALL AROUND THE WORLD.........SUMS IT UP HUH.....

SLEEPER:

THIS IS OUR FIRST SINGLE.....T-BONE STEPPED UP HUGE ON THE RECORD AND THIS WAS HIS MOST PRIZED ACCOMPLISHMENT......HE BROUGHT THE RIFF AND CHOURSE IN....MATT HAD THE MELODY....I THOUGHT IT NEEDED AND HEAVY PART IN THE BRIDGE. MATT HAD THE TITLE AND I HAD THE CONCEPT.......THE LYRICS THOUGH WERE TOUGH. WE FINISHED THEM MINUTES BEFORE MATT SANG THE SONG.......T-BONE HAD THE HARMONY IDEA AND ITS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES ON THE RECORD BY THE BAND........

CHILD SUPERSTAR:

FREAK:THIS SONG IS ABOUT CHILDISH PEOPLE WHO TRY AND RULE A PERSONS THOUGHTS, ACTIONS, AND DREAMS. THE ROUGH COPY OF THE RECORDING WASNT AS STRONG AS WE HOPED, SO WE ADDED SOME MEGAPHONE VOCALS AND MATT PULLED OFF ONE WICKED HARMONY THE NIGHT OF THE MIX AND MADE THIS SONG ONE OF THE STANDOUTS.....I LOVE MY SOLO ON THIS SONG....ITS ANOTHER FREAK T-BONE MUSICAL CREATION........

HEALING:

WEVE HAD THIS SONG FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS. WRITTEN FOR THE OAKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING. WE REVAMPED AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD "HEALING" SONG FROM THE ATTACKS ON 9-11. ITS VERY MAGICAL. I
THINK WE HAVE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL WITH THIS SONG. THE WAY WE ALL CREATED THIS SONG IN THE STUDIO MADE ME REALIZE WHY I LOVE THIS BAND AND MY BANDMATES. BECAUSE WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE I CAN SAY THAT MY THREE BEST
FRIENDS AND I SHARED A CONNECTION THAT HAS MADE ME FULL THROUGH THESE YEARS AND I HOPE THE NEXT STEP IS A WILD RIDE......
