  • Riders Win Grey Cup…Oh, Wait!” Created by Darren Lang (Professional Speaker & Trainer)
    Staying Up in an Upside-Down World Newsletter “Riders Win Grey Cup…Oh, wait!” Created by Darren Lang (Professional Speaker & Trainer) It’s been 2 months, 14 days, 8 hours and 36 minutes since the 2009 Grey Cup. I think I’m finally ready to talk about it without getting too misty eyed or needing some form of sedation. It was November 29th, the Grey Cup game in Calgary. The Saskatchewan Roughriders v.s. The Montreal Alouettes. The party was in full swing at our house with all 16 of us decked out in Rider green. Our beloved Riders were playing their hearts out. Rookie quarterback Darian Durant was managing the ball like a seasoned veteran. The Riders surprised everyone with a 16 point lead. But, don’t count the Alouettes out, they managed to claw and scratch their way back into contention. With one second on the clock, the score was 25-27 for the Riders. It was all coming down to a 43 yard Alouette field goal attempt to win the game. A country watched from the edge of their seats. Montreal snaps the ball, the kick is up…it’s going wide. I hurdled myself two feet in the air and bellowed “The Riders won the Grey Cup”. As my feet hit the ground I heard my brother yell….”FLAG!!!”. I’ll spare you having to relive the final nitty-gritty details. The game was over. The Riders had lost. We all sat there with blank stares, “what just happened here?” Minutes later, our company left, my wife Darci hurried our kids upstairs for bed and the party was over…it was so over.

Shine Down 5. Hollow 6. No Rest For The Wicked 7. Bleeding Me play 8. Voodoo Too 9. Temptation play 10. Mama 11. One Rainy Day 12. I Thought 13. Safe And Sound Musicians: Sully Erna: lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards, drums, percussion, Tony Rombola: lead guitar, backing vocals Robbie Merrill: bass, Shannon Larkin: drums, percussion Godsmack may never garner the kind of praise that's bestowed upon its obvious influences (Metallica, Alice in Chains, Tool), but the hard-working Boston quartet has managed to stay at the top of the alternative metal heap for nearly eight years. IV, produced by frontman Sully Erna, doesn't stray too far from the formula, relying on big midtempo brooders and heavy, drop-D riffs to work in the usual themes of loneliness, betrayal, and the overuse of the word "bleeding." For the most part it's cliché done well -- the record opens with an audio collage of children saying their prayers before bed -- and the band can turn it up to 11 with the best of them. Stadium-sized cuts like "Speak," "Enemy," and "Temptation" are sure to please the masses -- 1 / 2 Godsmack – Godsmack IV (2006) Written by bluesever Tuesday, 12 April 2011 19:06 - Last Updated Wednesday, 21 March 2018 22:06 they even bring out the vocoder for "No Rest for the Wicked" -- and fans brought into the fold with 2004's acoustic Other Side EP will eat up the pensive, mandolin-led "Hallow," but there's little growth to be found, resulting in a textbook-executed slice of commercial aggression.

  • Rascal Flatts Debut 'Back to Life,' Experiment with Singles-Only Business Model: Lyric Video Premiere
    (09.28.18) - https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/8477320/rascal-flatts-back- to-life-lyric-video Rascal Flatts Debut 'Back to Life,' Experiment With Singles-Only Business Model: Lyric Video Premiere For the members of Rascal Flatts, new single “Back to Life” doesn’t just contain a winning formula for a hit; the midtempo ballad is also a sweet testament to the women in their lives. Lead singer Gary LeVox says the Big Machine Records trio was initially drawn to the song -- written by Cary Barlowe, Niko Moon, Dan + Shay’s Shay Mooney and Fred Wilhelm -- because of a melody he calls “so infectious” that’s also reminiscent of some of the band’s previous hits. “We’ve had such great success with those 6/8 waltzes in the past,” he says, such as “Easy” and “Come Wake Me Up.” Additionally, “We thought that melody on the B section going into the chorus was so different, and we just really, really loved it and thought it would be a great song for the end of the summer.” The track went to country radio Friday (Sept. 28). Billboard premieres the lyric video below: The lyrics also resonated with LeVox and bandmates Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney, all happily married. With lines like “Taking my hand, pulling me up when I’m going under” and “I don’t want to think about where I would be without her,” LeVox says, “That’s how we look at our wives, as just being the anchors, and our moms. They’re the ones that keep us from going under half the time.” Adds DeMarcus, who produced the single along with his bandmates, “It’s a pretty empowering song for women to let them know how much power they really have when it comes to being a support system for their husbands, and how much life they can bring to us whenever we’re going through dark times.” After 10 albums, Rascal Flatts are trying out a new, singles-based business model, which means that while “Back to Life” is a brand-new song, it’s not necessarily the lead single from a forthcoming album.

    (9.29.18) https://lasvegasmagazine.com/entertainment/2017/sep/29/gary-levox-rascal-flatts-the- venetian/#/0 At the time of a mid-September interview, Gary LeVox’s week was one of support and remembrance. Two days before, the golden-voiced lead singer for Rascal Flatts answered calls at the Grand Ole Opry House during the Sept. 12 Hand in Hand Hurricane Harvey telethon. The next day, he attended a friends-and-family memorial for the late Troy Gentry, at the end of a week of mourning in Nashville for his longtime friend. Shortly after, he and bandmates Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney needed to pivot their attention to rehearsals for Rascal Flatts’ upcoming residency at The Venetian, Night to Shine. “It’s a really sad day here in Nashville,” says LeVox, who had just watched Vince Gill vow Nashville’s support to Gentry’s family during the public funeral, streamed live from the Grand Ole Opry on Sept. 14. “Troy and I were hunting buddies. I just saw him a couple of weeks ago at the Opry. We were sitting there talking about deer season getting ready to start. … We started at the same time Montgomery Gentry did. We were out there beating the streets up trying to get a song on the radio, all together. We were kind of the class of 2000-’01.” Looking back at those roots inspired the recording of Rascal Flatts’ 10th and latest album. Back to Us reached No. 2 on Billboard’s country album chart shortly after its May release, while lead single “Yours If You Want It” became the most played song on country radio in August.
