Going Through Puberty All Over Again

For our first email this week, I can't quote you anything because the dude didn't actually include any text in his email. He sent me an email with "more theory of a deadman in formation" as the subject line. I'm going to take that to mean he wants to see photos of the band dressed up like soldiers. Well BamEp8@***.***, I'm not fueling your fetishes here. This blog is for my fetishes thank you. Now would someone please put a roofie in my bourbon?

Hi Dragonforce,
I'm Davide, I'm italian from Milano and I am 12.
I listen your music for the first time playing Guitar Hero 3.
So I bought your albums and now I'm your big fun.
Your music is very strong: everytime I hear it a big charge rises inside of me.
I love your rock music!
DAVIDE
P.S. I'd like to receive a your photo with autographs. Is it possible? If yes I send to you my address.
Thank you.

Hey Davide, going through puberty can be a hell of an experience for a young man. You may think you're big and rising now, but things probably haven't even gotten started yet.

My name is Matt Ray and i am coming to New York tommrow and was wondering if i could set up a meeting to discuss my music with you on Monday.So if you could email me back ASAP i would greatly appreciate it

First, we didn't ask to hear your music. Second, you didn't even send anything to listen to. There's an off-chance we might've been bored and given it a shot.

Third, and most importantly, you cared so little about your music that you basically threw together a slapdash email two days before you'd be in town. You can't even spell tomorrow for fuck's sake. It doesn't look like you care about your music. Why should we?

To whom it may concern,

I am writting to you in the hopes you can help me. My name is John, I am a fan of Nickelback. I am also an aspiring author. After seeing the music video for Savin Me a few months ago, I want to write a short story or novel using the idea behind the video. I have told small concepts to a few people and they are desparate to read it. I however will not start one paragraph without permission. The ideas I have would not disappoint. If you could put me in contact with the people who decide these things I would be happy. This is not a joke. I have several stories I want to work on but that is is center stage.

Thank you
John Hedger

John, do you know how many derivative works there are of The Bible? On television right now is a show called Kings based upon the Book of Daniel (NBC, Saturdays at 8PM, or at Hulu.com). Now, Nickelback are great, but if you can derive a story from The Bible I think you're okay basing a story off of the "Savin' Me" video.

THEORY OF A DEADMAN'S SCARS & SOUVENIRS GOES GOLD!

New York, NY - Theory of a Deadman's Scars & Souvenirs has been officially certified RIAA Gold status. Scars & Souvenirs is the band's third Roadrunner Records release, and their first Gold album.

Frontman Tyler Connolly said, "We'd like to thank our record label, management and crew for all their hard work in helping us get Scars & Souvenirs to gold record status. We would also like to say thank you to all our fans who have bought the record and supported Theory over the years. This is a tremendous achievement for us and we are so f*****g happy!"

Theory of a Deadman is experiencing their greatest successes to date with Scars & Souvenirs. The album's first two singles "Bad Girlfriend" and "So Happy" both reached #1 on the Active Rock charts and Top 10 at Modern Rock. "Not Meant To Be" is the third single, which is currently Top 10 at Hot A/C. The track "Hate My Life" is fast becoming an anthem for our troubled times; sitting Top 5 at Rock and Top 25 on the Alternative charts.

The video for "Not Meant To Be," which features the track's co-writer, Grammy-nominated songwriter and American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, is currently in rotation on VH-1, cracking into the Top 20 this week and FUSE, where it sits at #3 on the Rock countdown. The video for "Hate My Life" is also shooting up the charts at both MTV2 and FUSE. In a rare occurrence, both videos were added to the respective channels' rotation slots in the same week!

Digital sales from Scars & Souvenirs have also proved to be very successful. "Bad Girlfriend" has sold over 625K singles to date, clocking in at over 15K per week. "Hate My Life" has sold over 130K downloads, averaging over 12K per week. Most recently, "Not Meant To Be" has seen 10 consecutive weeks of continuous growth, up 20% to 45% the past 3 weeks to over 120K downloads. This is due in no small part to the success of various singles at various different formats.

Scars & Souvenirs is Theory's best selling album to date. As singles continue to climb radio charts at all formats, sales are already fast tracked to reach platinum. This week saw the highest album sales yet since release with a 20% increase to almost 16K and a Top 40 position on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart.

Theory is currently on tour with Hinder and Black Stone Cherry, and is confirmed for Crüefest this summer.
