WOW!!...i was speechless!!..and for me that is almost a never occurring thing!!...i was only there on friday night as i had to work the weekend but what a friday night it was!!
The last time i saw the boyz play together was over two years ago and i thought there was no way that they could ever top themselves at that time...was i ever wrong!!!...what a tremendously talented five men!!...there must be some truth to the old addage "the older,the better" because they were amazing!!
I, too, had so many old memories come flooding back that when i left there were tears in my eyes!! (yeah animal, i do cry)...i saw so many friends that had slipped away over the last few years and realized many things had changed except the raw talent and the true love for music that each of the boyz possess!
So to you Lee, Brian, Brandon, Jason, and Animal..HATS OFF TO EACH OF YOU!!!...thank you for sharing a piece of yourselves with us that night!!..it will not be soon forgotten!!
~~Love ya all~~
Well, as week as now gone by since the bigh High Strung Reunion. The energy is still moving on with the boyz.
First off, I would like to personally thank Eric from HyTech Gear for letting High Strung reuinite under your roof. Not to mention letting us use some really kick A$$ gear. Thanks again Eric!!!
Second. As stated, some BIG shoes were filled!! Thanks Trevor for working for and with us to make the reunion a big success for everyone! Great Job!!!
To Lee, Brandon, aNiMaL & Jason: Being back on stage with you guys again was incredible. There just wasn't enough time in the weekend to play everything we know......(Sorry Amos!)
High Strung has always had an energy to whom have played in the band. However, when the band was at it's peak, I'm very proud to say that I was a part of that success. From the drunken arguments durring rehearsals, I QUITS & F**k YOU's.......We were only doing it to make ourselves better. At the end of the day, we only wanted what was best.
Now we are back to seeing things within High Strung clearer than ever. Though we are still in the very early stages of it, High Strung has been discussing the return of the band on a regular but limited basis. We'll keep you all posted as it happens.
Thanks again to everyone involved in making this Reunion a memorable one!!
Like many of you, I'm still buzzin from the weekend and wanting MORE! As a big fan, who has enjoyed the shows for many, many years now, I don't believe that I've ever seen so much energy and emotion coming from not only the band members, but the groupies too!! I don't remember the last time the dance floor was "jump-jumpin" on only the second song of the night. The five of you have such an incredible vibe together -- one that has bonded you with your fans in ways that cannot be described. The weekend was truly unforgettable and I can't tell you enough how much fun it was!
Re: Re: Re: The Bracken's show-what did you think?
Tina...You couldn't have said that any better!
It was an amazing weekend, wasn't it? I know that the boyz share those same thoughts that we do...it was amazing to them as well.
I know that I have thought about it everyday since! I cannot believe that it is gone now. We waited so long for this, and I thought last weekend would never get here! And now it's gone. ~sigh~
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another performance! It's just like them boyz to tease us and make us wait for what we really want! ;-) But that's ok! I'm good with that!!
It was really good seeing you out there! And Maria....it was good seeing you too! I know you had one heck of a drive from Wilmington to see the show! WOW...that is devotion!
Boyz, thanks so much for everything you gave to your fans. Did ya really know that the show would affect so many the way that it did? There's not a lot of bands that have that kind of an impact on so many people. If there was ever any doubt in your minds, I'm sure it is all cleared up now.
I love all of you ~I'm a chick so I CAN get all deep & stuff!~

Jen,
The hot tub suite at the hotel almost made the drive unforgettable. ..actually that was just the icing on the cake...the real treat was watching the boyz play together again after all this time..i cant wait until the next time!!
The next time i am up that way, you and Sue (and whoever else we think we can fit in) can come join me in the hot tub... ..i have the warm towels and drinks with little unbrellas in them!!
love ya all
