So what's up with COLLECTIVE SOUL nowadays?
Last album was Blender in 2001 (besides the greatest hits), I know they fired Childress...but are they doing anything right now?
Really would like a new album. |
I like their dvd for music in high places. Its probably been out a while ,but I just got turned on to it.
|
I think they live in their mom's basement. for real.
|
Their new album Youth was released on 11/16. I got it the other day and it's on par with their previous albums.
|
Saw them in concert last week in Boston (part of the annual WBCN Christmas shows). Great show! Had a new guitar player who was really good, they joked around a lot between songs (jamming on AC/DC songs at a couple points), and Ed telling stories about how he went to school in Boston and used to listen to 'BCN back then.
(It was an especially great double-bill with the Datsuns, who rocked!!!) |
Okay, I'll dredge this old topic up to ask my silly question in, since it certainly doesn't warrant it's own thread! I have "Blender" at the bottom of my queue on yourmusic.com, but I know nothing about the band, their sound, etc... The only thing that caught my eye was Elton John being on it. Now I do consider myself to have a wide-ish range of music, but I haven't been too fond of much newer music.
So I guess my question is a bit of a two-parter; what would their sound be comparable to, and if I did just get it for Elton, is it worth it being a fan? Thanks for reading my inane ramblings. ;) |

No fans of the band here I see, we haven't talked about them in 2+ years. They just had a new release, Target exclusive (general release in 6 months?).
I'm enjoying it, very similar to their older stuff, which isn't a bad thing imo. It's been in my CD player for a couple weeks now. |
Just saw them on a triple bill with Live and Counting Crowes. Collective Soul opened the show, but they were the best of the three! Some new songs, some old songs, and an AC/DC cover tune...
|
That's quite a bill. I'm guessing Live isn't they live band they used to be. I saw them once at 99X Big Day Out opening for Marvelous 3 and Bush, they were awesome.
I'll be on the lookout for their new album on the cheap. |
I saw the lead singer and his wife on some kitchen remodeling show shot recently... the entire band came over and hung out... they talked about the lead getting a piano as a gift from Elton John, yada yada... they all appeared quite chummy with eachother, so I don't think they broke up.

They have a new album out and are on tour with Live and Counting Crows. They just came through Louisville about two weeks back. A co-worker said it sucked, mostly due to the venue... our AAA baseball stadium right next to the Ohio river and expressway. He said CC was the only one with a decent enough sound system to overcome the sound dissipation. |
