Absolutely, hide...Promotion and distribution are key. Jerry Cantrell's Degradation Trip is a masterpiece of rock in my mind (Ok, I'm slightly biased), and it's the best album people will never hear. Roadrunner Records did zero promotion and it did not sell well. The diehard Jerry fans bought it, but it could have done a lot better with the casual Alice fan who only knew one band member's name -- Layne Staley. They didn't push it on the radio stations, either, for whatever reason. It has at least four or five songs that would have made awesome singles. I just hope Wind Up does a really good job pushing the new band.

you biased noooooooo? :) i agree with you though roadrunner didn't promote it well and it didn't sell well. i think mf4's "second skin" had a similar fate, it seems Sony tried to push them as sort of a pseduo-creed with "eden" and it didn't wash. jerry's stuff (at least some of it) was certainly radio friendly enough. I think touring with Creed and Nickelback and now Kid Rock (??????) should help promote him a little better.

Yeah, I think he's doing his own thing and whatever he can to get his name out there. Not everyone's thrilled with this latest development, but I say as long as he's out there playing, it can't be anything but good! I still haven't found MF4's Second Skin :mad:....I might have to get it online, but I was hoping to find it at the store. Oh well.

It's ok Shadow....It was really to let everyone remember, that they all 3 were a part of Creed,they are all talented, and I just feel like they are gonna be awesome. No....Unfortunately...I haven't had the chance to go and hear them....but my son lived in Orlando, and has seen them play a couple of times....and he told me.....they were gonna blow my mined!!!! So... I think I am gonna wait till Brian can send me a CD :D

I hope Johellion that you would receive some special treatment from Brian ;)
