| LIVE REVIEW |
Rock on the range- AS IF ROCK ON THE RANGE WAS NOT ALREADY OVERLOADED WITH SOME OF THE WORLDS TO
TALENT THEY HAD TO GO AND ADD THEORY OF A DEADMAN. THIS GROUP HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN AROUND
THE MUSIC WORLD AS A GOOD SHOW HOWEVER IT WAS AS IF THEY PUT A LITTLE EXTRA PASSION INTO THIS
PERFORMANCE. RECENTLY RELEASING A NEW ALBUM WITH A DIFFERENT SOUND THAN MANY FANS ARE
ACCUSTOMED TO HEARING FROM THESE ROCKERS COULD BE THE REASON. THEY STEP ON TO THE STAGE
AND THE CROWD IS ALREADY INSANE AS THEY START UP THERE SET. WHAT WAS NICE ABOUT THIS
PARTICULAR SET FROM THE GUYS IS MOSTLY IT WAS NEW MUSIC FROM THEM LIKE THE HITS "BAD GIRLFRIEND"
AND "SO HAPPY" BASSIST DEAN BACK EXPLAINS "OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE GROWN, AS MUSICIANS AND WE
WANTED TO BRING OUT SOME OF THE LIGHT HEARTED WAY OF THE BAND. I KNOW OUR PREVIOUS TWO
ALBUMS HAVE BEEN LIKE VERY HEAVY MATERIAL. WE WANTED TO THROW IN SOME LIGHTER STUFF AND SOME
FUN SONGS LIKE “BAD GIRLFRIEND” AND “HATE MY LIFE” BECAUSE THOSE ARE SONGS THAT HAVE A SENSE OF
HUMOR TO THEM." WE THINK BACK HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD WITH THAT STATEMENT AS FANS TOOK TO THE
NEW MATERIAL AS IF THEY HAVE HEARD THE SONGS FOR YEARS, AND IF YOU LISTEN TO SOME OF THE LYRICS
YOU WILL ALSO GET A CHUCKLE AS WELL. LEAD VOCALIST TYLER CONNOLLY SEEMS TO ALWAYS BE LOOKING
FOR WAYS TO CHANGE HIS SOUND AND GROW AS A BAND. " SO HAPPY" IS EXACTLY THAT KIND OF SONG. BACK
NOTES "IT WAS ONE OF THOSE SONGS AND IT IS FUNNY HOW THINGS WORK BECAUSE WHEN WE DID ALL THE
PRE-PRODUCTION ON THIS RECORD THAT WAS LIKE THE LAST SONG WE THOUGHT WOULD BE A SINGLE AND IT
WAS THE FIRST ONE THAT WE RECORDED. ONCE IT WAS RECORDED IT TURNED OUT SO WELL AND WHEN WE
FINISHED IT, IT WAS LIKE WOW THAT CAME OUT OF NO WHERE AND WE DIDN’T EXPECT THAT ONE. I THINK
LYRICALLY FOR TYLER AND I DO NOT KNOW THE WHOLE STORY BUT I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH A BUDDY OF
HIS BACK WHEN HE WAS A KID WHO HAD AN ABUSIVE AND DRUNK DAD AND I GUESS HE SEEN HIM A FEW YEARS
LATER AND HIS BUDDY ALWAYS SAID HE HATED HIS DAD AND HIS BUDDY FINALLY GOT RID OF HIS DAD AND WAS
ABLE TO START A CLEAN SLATE. SO I THINK THAT WAS THE INSPIRATION TO WRITE THAT ONE." IT SEEMS AS
THOUGH CONNOLLY AND THE REST OF GUYS ARE JUST STARTING TO GET GOING WHILE FOR SOME ARTIST AT
THIS TIME IN THEIR CAREERS THEY SLOW DOWN A BIT. WE AS FANS WILL ALWAYS GET A GOOD LIVE SHOW
FROM THESE GUYS AND IF THE CHANCE TO SEE THEM EVER COMES UP WELL ONE SHOULD SIMPLY TAKE IT
AND RUN WITH IT BECAUSE YOU SURELY DO NOT WANT TO MISS THESE ROCKERS!!!
