Columbus, Oh.- DAY ONE OF ROCK ON THE RANGE IS UPON US AND THE TIME IS GETTING CLOSE FOR FINGER
ELEVEN TO KICK OFF THE MAIN STAGE FESTIVITIES. THE CROWD STARTS TO GATHER AWAITING THE ARRIVAL
OF THE GUYS. YOU CAN SEE ON THE FANS FACES THAT THEY ARE EXCITED TO SEE THE GROUP WHO HAD THE
#1 HIT ON THE RADIO FOR WEEKS UPON WEEKS WITH "PARALYZER"; A SONG THAT NO ONE NOT EVEN FINGER
ELEVEN EXPECTED TO BE BORN. FINGER ELEVEN STEPS ON STAGE LIKE THEY HAVE FOR MANY YEARS IN THE
PAST AND THE CROWD GOES INTO AN UPROAR. YOU CAN SEE ON THE FACES OF SCOTT, JAMES, RICK, SEAN,
AND RICH THAT THEY ARE AS PLEASED TO BE STANDING IN FRONT OF THERE FANS AS THE FANS ARE . "THE
NAME FINGER ELEVEN IS REFERRING TO A POINT THAT GUIDES YOU IN YOUR HEART IN ONE DIRECTION BUT
YOU ARE BEING PUSHED IN ANOTHER DIRECTION." SAYS BLACK THE BANDS LEAD GUITARIST. NOW FOR THE
FANS THAT HAVE NOT HEARD A LOT ABOUT THIS GROUP LEARNED EXACTLY WHAT THAT DEFINITION MEANT AS
SOON AS THE FIRST RIFF WAS UPON THEM ALL ATTENTION WAS ON THAT VERY STAGE. THEIR SOUND WAS
DIFFERENT THAN OTHER GROUPS ON THE BILL THAT DAY AND YOU COULD TELL THIS GROUP IS VERY DIVERSE
IN THE STYLES THEY PLAY. THEY SEEM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO CRANK UP THE ROCK AND THEN BRING YOU
DOWN TO A MELLOW. YOU CAN HEAR THE CROWD SINGING ALONG AS SOON AS THEY STARTED PLAYING "ONE
THING" WHICH WAS THE SONG THAT GAINED THEM NATIONAL RADIO ATTENTION. NOW SOME OF MY PERSONAL
FAVORITES LIVE WERE "I KEEP YOUR MEMORY VAGUE" WHICH IS A SLOWER STORY TELLING SONG. AND
"FALLING ON" WHICH BRINGS A GREAT ROCK BEAT AND GOOD TEMPO. THE BAND FINISHED OFF THEIR SET
WITH THEIR SMASH HIT "PARALYZER" WHICH IS ONE OF THE FEW SONGS FROM A ROCK ARTIST THAT HAS THE
ABILITY TO JUMP GENRE AND HOLD THE NUMBER ONE SPOT FOR WEEKS. LIKE WE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY
THIS SONG WAS A SURPRISE TO EVEN FINGER ELEVEN THEM SELFS. BLACK NOTES "THE WRITING IN
PARALYZER WAS ACTUALLY JUST REALLY COIT AND VERY SPONTANEOUS. A FRIEND OF OURS WAS TAKING
PICTURES OF US JAMMING AND RATHER THEN PRETENDING WE DECIDED TO MAKE SOMETHING UP ON THE
SPOT AND THAT WAS THE RIFF THAT BECAME THE SONG. IN THE STUDIO IT BECAME QUITE AN OBSESSION TO
GET THE FINAL THING RIGHT BECAUSE IT IS KIND OF DANCE AND ROCK AT THE SAME TIME AND WE WERE
TRYING TO GET THE PERFECT BALANCE. IT HAS BEEN A TRIP SO FAR." WELL JAMES WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY TO
YOU IS THANKS FOR THAT TRIP! LIVE PICTURES FROM ROTR BELOW.
