Wait, so the black women singing in the The Black Crowes's Remedy video and song aren't female? Oh my god, you mean Billboard made a mistake? But that's unpossible!

Billboard? I was talking about Timmy's post.. Didn't bother to click the link, eh? Typical Artie.

This can stay at #1 on mediabase for weeks, but no one will remember it, unless it hits #1 on Billboard. That's just the way it is. There seems to be an excessive amount of attention over this hitting #1 on Active.

Second week at #1 on Billboard's Active beginning next week. I'm not sure I'll remember this one either way. Sounds too much like a Hinder rip off. Hinder has never written a song as good as this, and this is coming from someone who thinks this is Skillet's worst album.

Hinder has written plenty as good or better than this. Wow, it's that easy to take subjective opinions and make them look factual! I should do that more often. You usually do.

Hinder has never written a song as good as this, and this is coming from someone who thinks this is Skillet's worst album. Agree with all of this wholeheartedly. Hinder has never done anything with the orchestral flourishes/epicness of this song. The only thing you can say is remotely similar is John Cooper and Austin Winkler's voices. That doesn't mean that this song sounds at all similar to anything Hinder would write, Artie.

Agreed on the orchestra. Hinder's not smart enough to pull that off. I was talking about the writing myself. Both similar and comparable. Neither better.
A little off topic, but why is metalfan87's name black and not blue like most of the others?

The username rockmaniac is the same person as metalfan87, right? They feel very similar to me. Has anyone else been wondering if this is true? I would guess that they are the same person with a decent amount of confidence.

I have no clue. I usually read the right column of the pages only. Why would anyone assume he was the same? Unless it's quoted somewhere. Because he has the same mannerisms.

I didn't guess that at all. I only asked.
