Hinder is a one hit wonder. Fortunately for them, there one hit was such a popular song that it opened up a door wide enough that even the pile of shit that was the rest of the album was able to squeeze on in to radio play.

never the less, what kind of rock band leads with a ballad?

the last one i can remember is steelheart!!!

New GNR is a better band than Hinder, plain and simple.

i'd be stunned if they went on tour with only two guitar players, assuming there will be a tour, which i think there will be

i would think that if buckethead was being considered in the first place they would have gotten him on board by now in order to represent this album as a band from the get go.

instead of releasing an album with a man all over the credits that is not in the band

all axl had to do is call him, maybe apologize, offer him a bunch of money, and invite him back.
if he says no - fuck
if he says yes - YAY!!!!

the point being that, if axl was interested, he could have made that call in 5 minutes while stll doing his part in getting the release negotiations taken care of at some point in the last 6 months or so

nice

keep us posted - sounds exciting..............................
and scary at the same time

meteorite?
