Guitarist James Valentine told Billboard he was disappointed by the lackluster sales of the bands latest release ‘Hands All Over’.
It is common knowledge to regular readers how I feel about this band. Well this band is actually part of the greater NickleFrayHouseSuck5, (combining Nickleback,The Fray Life House and
Maroon 5 cuz they’re all exactly the same and they all suck) and before you ‘Anony’ me get your brainwashed ass over to MTV and go watch Jersey Shore or something.
So Valentine tells Billboard
“Of course we could have liked it to have done better so far,” Valentine told Billboard. “It hasn’t sold at the pace that our previous records did.”
About the lack of response to this latest offering:
“I think with the last two records, it’s been a little bit unbalanced, in that we had so much success and there was so much of the world to cover that our studio/road balance was a little off… In a perfect world we’d tour for six months and maybe record for six months, but that’s not the way it works. But the whole point is to make more music, and if anything you can spend too much time out there.”
About the next album:
“I think everybody’s been pretty busy compiling ideas for the next one,” he says. “With technology and the recording capacity we have on our laptops, we can be a little more prolific while we’re [touring]. We’ve never been able to do that before. I think we could go in and make a record today and have a pretty solid album.”
Perhaps its because you cant keep doing the same thing as 5 other bands and get market share? You can only go so far on the front mans ego?
Anyway, best of luck on the new tour and album and being articulate.
