Tournament 3 of 16: bhowes
Final
5 What I Want (Daughtry Featuring Slash) 17-3 14 Hell Yeah (Rev Theory) 13-7
If Brian Howes is still following.... a couple of questions about your finalists.
1) What part did you play in writing the Daughtry song? I assume Chris had the lyrics and you provided music. Did he come to you with the words first or was it the other way around? And with Slash having no apparent writing credits, did you write his solo?
2) How about the Senators using Hell Yeah as its theme and intro song for the hockey club? That had to hurt just a little, no?

This is such an uneven final. "What I Want" demolishes the cock-rocker "Hell Yeah" in every aspect for me.

Actually we wrote the whole song together. I had a riff and melody idea and he liked it. We went in to the studio and banged it out in a few hours, lyrics and all. He's an awesome writer! Slash came in and ripped the solo when the final was being cut. No way would I ever write his solo...... r u kidding As far as the Senators go, it's worse that the Capitals adopted it as well.

Ha, didn't know the Caps did too. It must be somewhat pleasing that both franchises representing the capitals of USA and Canada loved your song.
As for Slash, was he an afterthought, or was there a connection with him already? It seemed on the surface at first to be strange, having a rock legend come in to play on an American Idol's band's song.

Haha that's funny. I actually go by Mediabase and BDS for actual chart position and number of spins. And this is my second-favorite.

Clive Davis hooked up the Slash thing when the song was almost finished. Chris and I we're stoked!!!

And Puddle Of Mudd in general, actually? I have to be quite frank, I was more fond of their earlier grungier material, although Famous had some good cuts. And I like "Crowsfeet". Totally should've made the album.

Well I'm glad the collaboration happened. Easily my second favorite song in the tourney behind Get Stoned.

I only did a couple of songs on the Puddle records. The prob is the label had them working with too many producers and too many writers and they ended up with no direction. They were desp for a "New Blurry" and it turned into cheesy POP thing rather than a "from the heart rock project". Also, Wes is completely crazy and really hard to work with. :)

My favorite album you've produced would have to be "Comatose" btw

Kinda sucks cause "Blurry" was so great because it wasn't cheesy or trite, it was a guy writing honestly. I felt that on their first two albums and then the later albums just started feeling manufactured and slapped together. I wish they'd go back to writing stuff like "Out Of My Head" and "Time Flies". Radio needs that kind of stuff IMO. But I don't get the impression they've been trying to get a new "Blurry" so much as a new "She Hates Me".
