The combination of WJJO already having this in rotation, WCCC testing it on their hit or diss segment, and the fact that this song was the only one that was remotely memorable when I unfortunately had to sit through these guys opening for Sevendust suggests that this is the follow up to "The Way You Move". And as much as I'm dissing this band, and as much as I've dissed them in the past, "Life Of Mine" is easily better than "Guilty" and "The Way You Move" in my book. I kinda hope this song does well so that they will aim more in this direction with future releases rather than in the direction of "The Way You Move", but I also hope that after this, they bomb hard until they can write more material that is at this level or better.

I thought "The Show" was ideal for Active, but this a good pick too. This band has sorta flown under the radar, considering they have 2 top 20's already, both having some decent longevity, aswell.

Hmmm well, other than this song, they haven't really deserved that opportunity. There are many other bands in the genre who have had less success and have more potential to be consistently quite good then these guys. Obviously these are just my opinions. A lot of people seem to dig them, but the whole Sevendust crowd was not into them. When 10 Years hit the state after these guys, the audience grew a lot more enthusiastic.

Honestly, these guys would do better on a tour with POD and Pillar.

^That's true, but by the same logic, 10 Years would do better on a tour with Chevelle. I think the point is that there are a lot of people who aren't impressed with these guys. If Pillar opened for Sevendust, I think they'd get a much better crowd reaction because their musicianship is a lot higher.

Well, I don't think people want to hear 3 or 4 very similiar bands. You might aswell chuck Earshot in for the opening slot and you have the complete Tool disciples tour.

They sound more like Chevelle than they sound like Sevendust. And they both have that Tool influence. However Tool fans would be all elitist and diss 10 Years for not being psychedelic/progressive enough.

In my opinion, 10 Years sounds like a mix of Tool and Korn, whereas Chevelle is more like Tool and Helmet. |
