If I promise to mend my ways, does anyone think that Jimmy would go out with me?
I know he's married, but a guy can hope, can't he?

ATTN: TRAIN fans! ***I know it's long but worth it!! Sorry I couldnt get the artical on the board but you can e-mail me and I will send it to you!

I am forwarding my e-mail to this idiot reporter who gave TRAIN a terrible review!! I am also attaching the article he wrote (not to promote him) so you don’t have to by the PD to read it and to get your blood pumping so you will drop him a line, if only just to say “You suck” and fill up his mail box.
So lets all ban together and show this no talent, no taste for good music, so called writer that TRAIN has a lot of dedicated fans!!
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MAYBE ARE NOT TO FAMILER WITH TRAIN, trust me that they rock and forward this to anyone that will send this guy a note!!!!
****Javene I know YOU can forward this to a million people!!

Subject: Idiotorial** Feel free to drop John a Line

Music and show reviewing, enjoying a concert as a fan, deciding which
derisive lines to use to describe a lame review, all can be an utterly
subjective experience. With the John Beck review of the April 18 TRAIN
concert at the Mystic Theater, not only can it be a subjective experience,
but a completely enjoyable one as well (the derisive lines, not the review).

Even as a fan of TRAIN, I can understand (I guess, some people don’t have taste) that not everyone would enjoy the
show...to each his own, whatever picks your guitar or sharpens your pen.
But I can not understand John Beck’s complaints about the performance.

Let’s see, they played a song twice in one concert...John Beck would have you believe that is akin to stealing from a Salvation Army kettle during the holidays( which John Beck may have to stand next to if the caliber of his reviews continue on the same path). I actually thought it was a bit of creativity, the crowd responded so well to the song the first time (its an amazing song), why not play it again as a treat to this hometown crowd, and enjoy it again. I have often wanted to hear a song again, in concert, but it has never been done. TRAIN did it for the fans, not because there was a lack of material.
Beck’s comment about Pat (the lead singer) “beating on anything he could get his hands on” what is that about, since when did “throwing yourself into the performance” become a bad thing ? I think loving what you do and having passion for it, is something this “writer” doesn’t understand. This fan would like to beat on something up around a certain reviewers head (figuratively speaking, of course...well maybe some rotten fruit wouldn’t be too violent).
Though Beck isn’t the headline writer, the idea of the TRAIN show being too polished is, in my opinion, like saying the wax job on the Jaguar is a bit too shiny. If TRAIN takes the time to put together a polished, creative, have them dancing in the aisle show, they shouldn’t be criticized for the fact. What it might do is encourage a certain music reviewer to do likewise, put together a coherent, well-thought out, polished (even over-polished) review.
The good thing was, we were able to hear their great new song twice. Fortunately for us though, we won’t have to experience the John Beck review twice, as unlike the TRAIN song, once was more than enough for his review. I mean we never know maybe John was beat up in school, maybe his mommy didn’t love him, maybe he had terrible acne which resulted in a youth of frequent masturbation. We do not know John Becks story but rest assure it is nothing to read about.
As for me I will never buy another Press Democrat … YOU SUCK
A Devoted TRAIN FAN ** Feel free to drop john a line about his horrible review of the train show. I have attached so none of you have to buy the paper to read it.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I had a great time at the show. I've never seen a show in a venue that small before. What I felt that night was spiritual! I'd like to give a shout out to the lovely school teacher that I spent the entire night dancing with. Also to the crazy mom and daughter combo - the couple from Asparagus - and the guitar player from Canada and his lovely wife. We rocked the night away and I came all the way from Vegas to see you! I'm not gonna bitch about Canes management cause I was just happy to be alive and there! Lots of love...

Jimmy and the gang,

Both Melissa and I look forward to seeing all you guys at thw Warfield in SF. We miss you.

Jimmy, thanks for the hospitality when we were in Las Vegas. Your family is awesome, you should be proud. We were too hammered to make Hard rock that night. I hope Melissa and I can return the favor soon.

Good luck with this tour. All our best,

Brian & Melissa

Hello all! I would just like to say that I am a Sonwriter and that I judge songs on this criteria: "Do I wish that I would have written that song?" and as far as "Drops of Jupiter" is concerned, I wish I would have. "Drops" is one of the best songs that I have heard in years. It has such a flow and such a good feel. I have been playing it on my acoustic guitar and everytime that I play it I think "Damn! Why couldn't I have written that!" I have not had a chance to see Train live yet. Please come to Memphis so I can! Keep the great lyrics and music coming!!!!!

(Oh...and I have some songs for you if you are interested!)

Doug Wilhite - Wed Apr 25 23:05:30 EDT 2001

here's my sad story - I should have known better than to wait for the last minute - but I had a reason. Now the Friday show is sold out and I'm left outside hoping to at least hear the music streaming out the open front door. Unless someone out there has a couple of tickets that they want to sell.

Email me if you do - save me.

Do whatever you can to see this band live! I first saw them at the Houston Earth Day Festival last year, then in San Diego at a small club. This year I won my tickets on Ebay. In San Diego Jimmy threw out a pick and I jumped the barrier to snag it, I have all of their signatures on it! Although, I did not get to meet them:-( But, maybe someday. My favorite song on the new album is Getaway, and I was thrilled when Pat said that it was also his favorite. Well, like I said do what you must, you won't regret it!!!!!!

There was a separate page that had all of the listings but now has been taken down. It seems that the Music Choice site is re-arranging stuff so I am sure that the times will be up shortly. The show airs from April 30 - May 6th.

- Wed Apr 25 21:12:08 EDT 2001

Great show in denver. It was awsome, however I was hoping that you all would play Blind, but you didn't. And the last time you played in Denver you didn't play it then either, and the time before that i really don't remember if you played it. In my opinion that is the best song you have. It is just so musically well written, but the lyrics are also amazing. You guys rule.
A loyal denver fan.

Just like everyone else I really love the Drops of Jupiter cd. I've seen Train in concert twice before and thought that they completely rocked!. I am asking--no wait, begging for anyone with extra tickets for Train's Boston show at the Paradise on May 9th to email me. Thanks so much! Can't wait for another great show!

Guys, I'm sure that y'all will sell out both shows!! We miss you VERY much-at least the X gives us a Train fix a few times each day.

I can't believe how big y'all have gotten. I was visiting relatives in a VERY small twon in Texas and I heard a Train song playing in one of the stores. We're all so proud of you here. Thank you so much for coming back to Birmingham! I can't wait to see you at the May 2nd show!!!

Did any of you guys read the news section with the Street Team feature on Train and some other bands? Is that tv show airing in ANY state? I checked the pull-down box on their site, choosing any state at random, and it always said that there were no air dates for said state. Does anybody know what tv show that is or where they'll be showing it?

bitinglouse - Wed Apr 25 19:07:28 EDT 2001

I was really pissed I missed you guys show last night. Hope you guys come back out here to Colorado, or to Nashville while I'm there. Hope the road isn't kickin' your ass. Take it easy fellas. Later.

I'm sorry that happened!

:) - Wed Apr 25 17:50:30 EDT 2001

I completely agree with L. Hidalgo. The way Cane's handled the train show was a joke. I had the exact same experience. It's a shame because I remember that night less for train's performance, but rather for the unprofessionalism of Cane's. Train was really good though:)

Mike - Wed Apr 25 17:46:04 EDT 2001

Guys....damn, I love the new cd. Last night driving across the city I had that sucker cranked so loud and was just singin' at the top of my lungs lookin' like a crazy woman. I have decided that the most brilliant moment of the whole album lies within' "It's About You"......COME ON JUMP TO ME......please please please tell us how you came up with that.

The great thing about this album is that it is much more 'celebratory' (for lack of a better way to say it)than the last one. The last one was great...it was just more melancholy. On "Drops" the vocals and the harmonies are RIPPIN! It's SO MUCH fun to sing along to the entire record. love you....bye for now. :o)

Lady D - Wed Apr 25 17:43:03 EDT 2001

Hey if anybody was wise enough to tape last night's show in Denver, if you could hook me up, I got a couple boots to trade. Also you will be rewarded on the other side..... Just give me a copy damn it, don't be selfish. I'd trade it to you.

Kevin - Wed Apr 25 17:42:29 EDT 2001

To Anyone That Enjoys Music:

I would like to share with you an experience I had last Saturday, April 21, 2001, while attending a Train concert at Cane’s Bar & Grill in Mission Beach.

Our tickets indicated that the show started at 7:00pm. We arrived at 6:00pm to get in line as we knew the show was sold out and the band rocked. We immediately got into a line of about 15 people. The venue offers shows to 16 and older and the line reflected all ages. It was cold outside, and after waiting an hour the bouncers came into the line to check our ID’s and give us bracelets indicating that we had tickets and were over 21 years of age. A half hour later, while still standing in this line, a bouncer went to the end of this line, now over a hundred feet long, and announced that they were forming another line of 21 and older around the side of the building at the entrance to the bar. He also told the people at the end of the line that they would get in faster. This news spread to those of us, freezing in the front of the line, as we watched the newly arrived go around the corner to form the new line.

Much to our disgust, we were not let into Cane’s until after 7:30, where, at the door, our Ids were checked again. When we entered the venue, all seats/tables were taken. We found out that the people that formed the second line went into the bar and were let in earlier than those of us standing outside for an hour and a half. Some people had been there since 5:00 waiting.

While standing inside, we asked to speak to the manager of the joint. He arrived in about 15 minutes with an attitude. At this point there were approximately 8 people that had joined in our conversation as they too were in the front of the first line. He told us that we could have gone to the other line and he was sorry, but it is first come, first served. We explained our outrage that the people that drove up at 7:30 walked in before us while we waited. His statement was “Well, they went upstairs and spent money on food and drinks. We take care of our paying customers.” He basically said tough, that’s the way it is around here, if you don’t like it, etc.

While arguing with this man we tried to explain that their bouncers should have gone to the front of the line and explained the second line’s purpose, giving us the opportunity to move first, thus getting the seats we deserved. Not only was the manager rude, he acted shocked to find out that when the doormen of the second line heard that the people in the first line were pissed, they temporarily halted the movement of the second line. I found out later that about eight people in front of me were so angry that they got their money back and left.

It is obvious that Cane’s employees don’t want to be bothered about anything. When one person in our group called a few weeks previously and asked if Train tickets were still on sale, she was told, without hesitation, that there were no tickets left. As a result, she got tickets through TicketMaster for an additional $9.00. A friend of hers then purchased tickets at Cane’s more than a week after her phone attempt. It seemed like the person at Cane’s didn’t want to be bothered to check on the ticket situation.

I’ve seen many concerts in San Diego at many venues. I have never seen such poor management of a bar in my life, not to mention the arrogant attitude of the manager. People, it is your money. You may want to think twice about spending your money at this place. They’ll never get any more of mine.

Sincerely,

L. Hidalgo

Damn you Train! How am I supposed to go do my crappy job after seeing your fantastic show last night. My lifestyle seems so boring today. I want to set out for Austin, but the damn show is sold out. Last night in front of the gothic, the ticketless wolves were hungry. "Got any xtra tickets?" The unfortunate fools kept asking. You guys played like a new monster...a band at a new peak of career. You have ruined me. Seeing that sh*t 4th row center was incredible. Next time you come thru denver, play the Fillmore instead. It holds I think like 1,500 more people, and it's almost all standing room only and the stage is a little bit bigger. That's the best place to go see a show here. As far as Matchbox20, I'd go to see you guys not them. You are above opening act, I think more people would go to see you than them.
Is the S.F show sold out? If so, you guys should add a second show. I might drive out there for a road trip. By the way Pat, your black shirt is cool. And Eggplant was a killer, perhaps you should save that one for last song.

Kevin - Wed Apr 25 16:03:33 EDT 2001

Also, you know... I gotta say Train is a great band. If they want some constuctive criticsm it would have to be, you guys don't need to do cover songs anymore. I would have rather seen Days or Sweet Rain or Counting On You or Idaho than Want You To Want Me. The only low point of last night's show. You guys now have an impressive song catalouge... other struggling bands are surely jealous. What you have put together is not easy to do. I am Impressed. Stay with one cover song mid set, it doesn't have to be Ramble On... play an obscure Who or Doors song that will bug people out. Break the F*cking rules. By the way, I like Something More the best. No one else on this message board has mentioned it, it has been stuck in my head for days. I think that one Needs to be either the second or third single off the album.

Kevin - Wed Apr 25 15:38:55 EDT 2001

Hi Jill! The lyrics and most of the music was written by Train, they had some outside help on the orchestra part...the name escapes me, but this same guy worked with Elton John in the past. Hope I've helped!

My girlfriend and I got to meet you prior to your show at the House of Blues last week and were really impressed by you all. We got some great shots with you too! Thanks for indulging us. I won this treat on Star 98.7. Now we both can't get enough of your music! We look forward to seeing you all again. If I can figure out how to send you our digital photo together, I'll send it! Thanks again, you guys rock.

Saw the Denver show last night, it was excellent, a fat joint, 6 beers and I achived "the altered state". Hey all you reading this, if you got tickets to upcoming shows, take my advice and fight your way up to close to the stage as possible. Don't be a wuss and sit at a table. If you know most of the lyrics, fight your way into the first 5 rows, and stand like a f*cking statue through the opening act. Make sure you get nice and faded first (a side note, I like weed a lot the stuff is great!! :>) ). Then you can sing and yell the lyrics along with Pat and bounce and yell yourself hoarse like I did. You won't even feel self concious because it's louder and everyone around is having a blast too. Trust me, it will be the most fun you ever had. Of course you'll have to pee like mad halfway through the set...

Kevin - Wed Apr 25 15:12:11 EDT 2001

Hey guys,
I am a big big fan and I have seemed to misplace my job somehow.Well the point of the story is that I live in Dallas and want to see you guys so badly.I missed you last year.As the subject says I can't find my job,so I have no money for tickets.I WILL WORK FOR TICKETS.I wash tour busses,tune and string guitars,I cook home cooked dinners,my girlfriend and I just want to see the show.

On the power of Drops of Jupiter I went to check out the rest of the CD. Man, the song "Respect" really kicks ass and has been playing in my mind for days. I really hope its your next single. See ya at the Opera House in TO.

Hey guys- I saw you perform at the House of BLues in Chicago last year it was great. I since have moved to Orlando and have been waiting paitently for you to arrive down here. However, I just checked out your tourdates and no shows in Florida. What is up with that? We have a House of Blues here in Orlando too. Come on book a show down here. And if you do perhaps you could give a shot out to me for raising the interest.
Please give it a thought.
Thanks -January

train - The music was awesome last night at the Gothic in Denver!
I heard the band on the radio last year and decided to catch your '99 show.
After that performance I was like, WOW!
You guys really put on a great live show--your stage presence is very intimate with the audience.
It's obvious that you all are having fun and the crowd feel s it.
I leave your concerts with a music high. Thanks again for all the great music.
I'll see you play again when you come to Denver next.
I hope you all have a really great tour.

I missed you guys in the summer of 99 (You were touring with my beloved Hootie & The Blowfish). I was very prego and too tired to go. I will regret that forever. But I have finally found out what a great band you are. Still learning the songs, but so far I'm loving them all. God bless you!! :)

Hey Train,

tell you honestly I am not a big fan of English music/ American music but somehow and coincidently I fell in "love" with the song " drops of jupiter" and its the song that will always recite in my mind .... oh! i like the stanza/the line "she acts like summer walks like rain"...Good Luck Train. "Adieu"

For the second year in a row you guys have amazed me. Your music and lyrics, as well as the lighting and entire set, is and will be the best that will ever cross these eyes. Once a year is not enough to treat the Denver TRAIN fans. Come back. Afer nearly getting to the "great and meet" (a disapointment that I didn't make it) I felt complete after hearing the 4 songs that changed me, "Free", "I Am", "Hopeless", and "Drops of Jupiter". YUou guys rock and should be an inspiration to all that are graced with your music. COLORADO SAYS "WELL DONE TRAIN" Come home soon. Thank you.

Nate - Wed Apr 25 03:38:15 EDT 2001

I had heard Mark and Brian (KLOS radio) rave about you over and over again... well they sure were right on!! I saw you on the David Letterman show and rushed out and bought the new CD and tape!! You guys are awesome!! I haven't had a song (Drops of Jupiter) move me so much in a very long time. Keep up the great work!!! I missed you at the House of Blues but, I'll be keeping my eyes and ears open for your next show close to me!!! Tamara Holbert- Rancho Cucamonga, Ca.

Tamara Holbert - Wed Apr 25 03:16:44 EDT 2001

hey guys! I just wanted to say thanks for ANOTHER GREAT show in DENVER. We love you guys here and can't wait for you to come back!

I don't know why but there is something so magical about the way you guys perform. You brought me to tears last year with "sweet rain" and this year with "hopeless". thank you for doing what you do.

by the way-next time you should try sushi heights or japon!!!!

cheers

I love Train! What I love most are the lyrics to the songs. It is about time that there are more artists out there who have something deep,thought provoking and intresting to say. It also is bound to stur up a few hidden emotions. I know I am getting a little deep but bite me. Just kiddin... I enjoy the music but when are ya'll comeing to Oklahoma? You can play at my house if ya need somewhere to play. Best wishes to ya`ll!!

I have been reading on different websites that Pat said they would be opening for matchbox twenty in August & September US show's. Has anyone else heard that? I don't think Matchbox will be touring the US at that time.

Trish - Wed Apr 25 00:44:24 EDT 2001

Ok guys....you sound hurt by us not selling out your two shows here. Don't worry, by the time you
hit the stage, both shows will be sold out. You
know your family here and the way 107.7 X keeps playing "every" song, you should be playing a much bigger venue. I think were all a little upset that we get the MID WEEK dates, but we are the only, yes ONLY town that has train for TWO DATES!!! So i guess we can't complain to much.
Looking forward to both shows here and seeing
Five For Fighting (great band). Here is my request.....would love to here "ain't talking about love" by Van Halen. As you know....we are the ones that broke out your cover "ramble on"...so....let us break this one out also.
Will rap it up know.....THANKS again guys for coming to town again and again and again and again and again.....You know you have seen Train to many times (7 times) when you here a song and look over and my wife is imitating Pat's moves to each song!! *L* Keep rocking guys and stay STAFE !!!

Hey guys, hope you are enjoying your tour. My wife and I seen you in L.A. and San Diego last week and we were pretty disappointed. The reason being is that it seemed you would not do anything that was not on your set list. And in San Diego it seemed like you all were pretty burnt out and didn't even want to be on stage that night. Ever since we discovered you guys we have really enjoyed your music, especially "FLATFOOT". Which Pat I am sure you remember us from San Diego in front and center with the little sign that said, "FLATFOOT PLEASE". Don't get me wrong we enjoyed all the songs that were played, but we really enjoy Flatfoot alot!!! So hopefully in the future you guys will start to feed off the crowd. Enjoy the rest of your tour!!! Keep on writing GREAT music. See you next time you are in L.A. Mikie

Jill - Tue Apr 24 21:55:31 EDT 2001

Missy - Tue Apr 24 21:14:38 EDT 2001

right now that is my FAVE song. Train rocks! and i'm glad that they don't try to appear what their not. they sing their feelings. and to me, that is the coolest! :) :) :).

Nicole Garrison - Tue Apr 24 21:08:55 EDT 2001

I agree with Susan - please come back to the Northwest this summer. Especially to Seattle. We loved you here! You knocked my socks off.

Kelly - Tue Apr 24 20:59:09 EDT 2001

Hey guys. Wonderful show at Buzzfest. I got a few things autographed afterwards and I must say meeting each and every one of you really was great. Thanks for putting on a great set and for being true gentlemen to your fans. Other bands could learn a thing or two from yall. Best of luck one the rest of your tour.

shane - Tue Apr 24 20:54:19 EDT 2001

Make 2 CD's and a lot of great hits, and then come give Train your advice. Until then shhhhh. I think they know what they are doing.

Hope to see you in Toronto.

toni and amanda - Tue Apr 24 19:31:01 EDT 2001

I really just want to let the Train guys know how amazing the SD show was this past weekend - I was totally sick and thinking of not going BUT the show was sold out and it seemed a shame to not use the tixs - and I am SO glad I did!! The Zepplin cover was better than the original!! Thanks for THE BEST show and come again soon, San Diego loves you!!
The second thing I wanted to say is that there's a lot of talk here about 1st Vs. 2nd album and I just want to say that they are each a work of art full of talent, heart and honesty - I am in awe!

PoppyLady - Tue Apr 24 19:22:58 EDT 2001

Hey just picked up the new cd. It's awesome. I love 'Hopeless'

Jenn - Tue Apr 24 19:20:17 EDT 2001

I'm not quite sure where I've been for the last couple of years, but I didn't know Train! I fell in love with this band, and all I wanted to say is thanx for the music that is just like a fresh breath of air!

maggie - Tue Apr 24 18:59:42 EDT 2001

Music is my healer, and this CD, Drops of Jupitor, has helped make peace with another wound. Fantastic work.

Charlene - Tue Apr 24 18:24:21 EDT 2001

Anyone have any insight on summer dates? How about back to the great Northwest?

susan - Tue Apr 24 18:21:04 EDT 2001

I could be wrong here, but I think that "Heaven" in this particular useage is a
metaphor for the destination of the journey this person. She's out there looking for
something ("Heaven" would be the ultimate), and when she gets there is it a case of
the actuality not being everything she hoped it would be. It's not very different than
analogy of "did you sail across the Sun", obviously this would not be feasible. I'm
sure the band is leaving the actual state of Heaven to the experts and means no
offense.

Pam - Tue Apr 24 17:43:14 EDT 2001

Our Lady Peace will be playing, along with TRAIN, at Atlanta's Music Midtown on May 4th, 5th, and 6th. Our Lady Peace is on the 4th and Train is on the 5th. Be sure to check them out as well as getting the latest release of Our Lady Peace, "Spiritual Machines."

James - Tue Apr 24 17:25:46 EDT 2001

I'm gonna make two requests here. The first is that you guys come play in Athens, GA or you come back to Atlanta again this summer. I can't make it to the music midtown show cause my friend is graduating in SC. The second request is probably a little impatient, but what can I say. I'm just hoping that the time between the second and third album is the same as between the first and second. You guys put out some great music to chill out and relax to and I hope you'll keep it coming. I'd love to hear some more stuff with a little bit of the bluesy influence you guys had on your first album. Don't get sucked too far into the black hole of pop that seems to be sucking good bands into oblivion these days.

Erik - Tue Apr 24 16:53:27 EDT 2001

Nothing important - I just found out that the song I keep referring to on your first CD (track 12) - which I keep calling "Look at Yourself" is actually called "Train". You know, I thought that the first time I heard it but it didn't seem to fit as well as the name I came up with (don't take that personally). Also, I just happen to tap into a message from Pat on April 18,I believe, after the Rosie show and he was doing laundry in a laundry mat. I always wondered what guys like you do to take care of the hum-drum normalcies of life. Glad to hear you all are still normal and I hate laundry too. Keep looking for my next words of wisdom, encouragement, nonsense and so on.

Love ya,
Shelly

Shelly - Tue Apr 24 16:45:40 EDT 2001

Just wanted to chime in briefly. I'm a huge fan of the band and have been for some time. I have to admit though, I'm more fond of the first CD as opposed to Drops of Jupiter. I'd have to agree somewhat with "Weeds" as far as this album sounding much more "pop" compared to the first. This may be the down side to having commercial success by way of "Meet Virginia". I think songs like "Eggplant" and "Idaho" show just how diverse Train can be. (Lyrically and musically.) I think the new album is crying out to the typical short attention span radio public. I don't dislike the new album, but hopefully the next one will have less string arrangements and MORE OF JIMMY'S GUITAR!

Dave M. - Tue Apr 24 16:41:10 EDT 2001

You need to listen to the new CD a few more times. When I got the first CD I thought there were a few good songs on it. The more I listened to it, I grew to love the whole CD. It's definitely more rock. The new CD is note as heavy as the first (the first being easier rock). I had to listen to the new CD a few times and I will tell you I have grown to LOVE the first 7 songs (especially "It's About You"). The others are growing on me in a different way because they're a little mellower. You need to expand your mind a little and experience each song. I experience new CD's while playing cribbage. Put it on with a mix of other CD's and you will grow to love it too. I actually rock out to both of them while getting ready for the day. It primes me for a great day. Sometimes it's hard to get going because I don't want to miss any of the songs. Anyway, just a thought.

Train guys - just keep doing what you do best. Play YOUR music and, Pat, keep those vocals caressing the rest of us who truly enjoy to listen to you.

Shelly

P.S. Still waiting to hear from you.

Shelly - Tue Apr 24 15:57:50 EDT 2001

Hi guys! I am obsessed. I received your first cd for a Bday present and became an instant fan. It is rare (at least for me), to buy a cd and actually listen to it from start to finish. Thanks for reassuring me that there is still great music to be made and played. How about adding some Tampa dates to your tour!!!!

lauren - Tue Apr 24 15:22:47 EDT 2001

Just wanted to give the guys in the band a little positive feedback on the new record. It is great. You guys are just getting better with age. Had a chance to see you in jacksonville for free and then in Atlanta before that. Both times you guys blew me away. Make sure you came back to Atlanta. Good Luck...

AJ McGahee - Tue Apr 24 14:56:37 EDT 2001

HI guys, my name is Ketti, I'm 21, majoring in Law, fine arts, I saw you twice you rocked! Its funny I wasn't planing on going
and my niece who is 17 wanted to see you guys play she loved ur work... I on the other hand was much more leary, and kinda had to
be forced to take her, but I have to say it was a great decison. I loved the concert it was nice to have something in
common with my niece. We even went to see you at another venue. I guess I just wanted to say thanx... you gave me a way to relate
to my niece, and regain the closeness that we once had. Now we talk all the time, and are planning on seeing you again in may! Its become
our way of getting together.. we actually bought each other the new CD and gave it to each other for easter.. it was funny and nice to know that
we are soo alike.
Also on a side note its nice to see soo much creative writing in a band these days. My room mate who won't listen to anything made past 1975 ,
Will periodically be found listening to your CD, and I must say it takes alot to pull the Beatles out of her hands.

Well I must go and study for my finals... Have a nice summer and keep rocken...

Whatever you were doing when making the first album is what you should go back to.
A lot of people have mentioned Matchbox 20 on this board. And I feel the same about their first album compared to their second. First rocked, second sounding more pop'ish.
Something was different, like you and them are getting soft or maybe too many suggestions from producers/directors/and suits.
Just dont go to faggy on me.
Y'all gotta admit that Drops of Jupiter video is made for 15 yr old girls.
Im a 32 yr old male and really enjoy your first album still. But it seems your target audience is different now...stop that immediately.
I dont know

Whipping Boy

Ramble
I Wish You Would

She's on Fire
I Am

Getaway
Drops of Jupiter
Heavy
Eggplant

Shirley - Tue Apr 24 12:18:32 EDT 2001

You guys are the best band out there today. Both of your CD rock. I haven't taken the new one out of my car since the day it came out. I love Missisippi (?) but I love it!!!! You guys really touch alot of people and I can't wait to see you in Chicago in May!!

Krissy - Tue Apr 24 10:29:09 EDT 2001

I loved your last cd and now I can't get enough of your new one. I can't wait to see you all in concert, possibly in Nashville. Never have I ever heard such great music. Everything sounds so original that it could only be the love for music that makes each song have it's own personality. I know that "Drops of Jupiter" is to be the big song on this cd but I can't help but love "Respect". To me, that is the deepest sond on the cd, so much said in three minutes. I love it man keep writing and making awesome music.

Jerry Sherrard - Tue Apr 24 09:40:01 EDT 2001

The new song Drops of Jupiter is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it sOo much!! Definetly my favorite

Rob: Left you message on your cell. Mystic Theatre concert superb. Only non-perfect moment was in second encore when people began to fidgit. No "rockers" in encores. Second singing of Drops saved the day. From the audience perspective, one constantly wonderful aspect of Train concerts is audience participation ex: letting audience sing Meet Virginia by itself. Everyone knows so much of the lyrics and practically all your songs.
Keeping with this successful "audience participation in Train concert" program, why not let audience pick the last song of last encore. Give them a choice of fast ones (you definitely want to leave them with a rocker): I would let them vote on, say, Virginia, Drops, Respect, She's On Fire, and Ramble On. Let them vote by applause after first giving them the options. Think it would leave everyone in audience feeling closer and rocking all the way home. It also might give you a rough feeling (after doing this at several concerts across the country) as to what should be your next "single".
Just my thoughts from your oldest fan. Keep up the good work. Just noticed that you held #18 in week 3 on Billboard. For the record, Bruce Springsteen, who premiered like you in the top 5 or 6, is now behind you. Not bad company.
Travel carefully, Uncle Stew

Uncle Stew - Tue Apr 24 03:13:42 EDT 2001

Your thoughts i just got on the web page and saw that the band is going to be in dallas on friday i was wondering if anyone knew if there was any tickets left and if so how to get them... i would love to see train.... especially in a small venue like deep elum live... well

Shane Runyon - Tue Apr 24 02:07:40 EDT 2001

Please tell me that there is a way that myself and my Train-loving friend would get to meet the band and get autographs if we drove from Mobile to see the show. Waiting almost patiently...

Amy - Tue Apr 24 01:17:35 EDT 2001

Just wanted to thank you for the great new song! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album, hopefully it's at least half as good as this song, because that would still make it a kick ass cd! Take care!

Sandra - Tue Apr 24 00:43:26 EDT 2001

My brother told me about the album and I picked it up almost immediately based on Drops of Jupiter now playing on MuchMoreMusic. I haven't listened to it yet, but from what I've seen here and what I've heard elsewhere I can't wait

Sandra - Tue Apr 24 00:33:44 EDT 2001

I was just reading the last few days messages and wondered if anyone else saw the humor in "Daniel's new side". The message from his mother is priceless: please forgive daniel, he holds a lot of aggression towards train, because my husband(who is also my brother) are both train fanatics. as a child he would only listen to barry manilow. we forced him and his first girlfriend(his sister) to listen to train, apparently that was not healthy. we try to force him to take his medicine, but he is very reluctant. doctor fishburg feels that danny likes train, but is in the closet and trying to come out with his new personality. he did stop wearing dresses and that is a big relief. please be patient with him and let him come out in his own time.

Erin - Mon Apr 23 23:27:32 EDT 2001

thank you for reaffirming my love for good music. you have all managed to capture my attention and ignite all of my sensons, supplying me with both unhappy and pleasant feelings. that ability is called talent and i couldn't be more appreciative for you guys making me feel like the sun is shining only for me. keep it up ( i enjoy smiling!)

Julie A. Castellano - Mon Apr 23 23:17:38 EDT 2001

Train,
Thank you for the amazing song, "Drops of Jupiter." I heard it about 4 weeks ago, while I was flipping stations on the TV. I came across an interview you guys were doing with Much more music. I watched your video, and you guys instantly became my favorite band. Your song Drops of Jupiter is so amazing, every time I listen to it I get in a good mood. After I heard your song, I immediately told all my friends about it. They could hardly wait to hear what I was talking about. Slowly the radio got a hold of your song, and now evryday it is played more and more. This song is so great, I can hardly wait to get the cd. I can't wait to hear all your other songs. I just wanted to say thanx for the excelent music, and hope to see you in concert one day. Wishing you all the success in your future.

Erin - Mon Apr 23 23:11:46 EDT 2001

I heard your version of Light My Fire, and it rocks, and i think you should play it in Indy....any Zeppelin tunes would be awesome...Hey Hey what can i do, or Tangerine would be really cool....anyway, I love Pat's soulful voice, not to mention the awesome guitar sounds, See you guys this Sat. in Indy.

Allen - Mon Apr 23 23:07:36 EDT 2001

Hey Train Guys!! Just thought I'd say (like everyone else) that I love your song
"Drops of Jupiter"!!! And, Pat, I am totally astonished that there is someone else out there
who loves both The Wizard of Oz & Willy Wonka! As a 29 year old woman, I've seen both
movies more times than I care to mention. The Scarcrow rulz, Veruca Salt is a bitch,
and the Flying Monkeys & Oompa Loompas freak me out!!!!!!! Also, this year, unlike past New
Year's, I made a resolution that I knew I would keep : to learn how to play Chess!!!
(and I thought I was the only one who'd never played before!)

T H O R - Mon Apr 23 22:42:18 EDT 2001

Your old record was WONDERFUL. But this new record is ASTOUNDING! Absolutely a masterpiece, and I don't say that about many records, but this one takes the cake. INCREDIBLE job!

Jupiters Drops is thee most beautiful song I have ever heard. It is absolute poetry! It is quite the master piece and I hope you guys keep it up!

Jupiters Drops is thee most beautiful song I have ever heard. It is absolute poetry! It is quite the master piece and I hope you guys keep it up!

All I can say is .......what the? Man I am going to see Matchbox Twenty this weekend, and your GOING to be touring with them? DAH! Funny thing is I told my friend it would have been the ultimate if you guys were touring with Matchbox Twenty....now that would be some tour! I love the new song..I think I have overplayed it and my friends are tired of listening to me rave about it! Best of luck with everything! Peace!

Stacey - Mon Apr 23 21:35:50 EDT 2001

I was just wondering if you were planning to stop off in Alberta, Canada on your tour. Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, they are all real nice cities and we all love you here.

Hi guys. It's me again. I just had to say, Pat, I would love to have the opportunity to dance with you. You just seem to move to every moment in your songs. We could really groove together. The rest of you, I have your music down pat (for dancing purposes only - I can't play a stitch). I do, however, have a guitar I got for Christmas a couple years ago. Haven't found the time - need to really bad. Been a dream of mine for a long time. Anyway, Pat, put on those dancing shoes next time you come to Portland and we can dance through the Milky Way, or we can just freefall and see what happens (Ha ha)! Love ya!

Shelly - Mon Apr 23 20:27:36 EDT 2001

Saw Train in Portland, OR on April 13 for the Earthday concert(with Shawn Colvin and John Hiatt). I was so disappointed you guys weren't top bill. We didn't stay much longer after you guys finished playing. Nothing could compare to your time on stage. Danced to every song in the front row (do you remember). (I don't see how people can just sit through a concert as good as this one). Got the O.K. from Chris to meet you guys after the concert (Chris, we had a few words from a short distance), but needed a pass to go backstage. Would love the opportunity next time you come to Portland. Please keep me in mind. Don't know if you answer personally, but would love to hear from you. Anyway, you guys are excellent. Love the new CD (especially the obvious DOJ, but also, She's on Fire, I Wish You Would, It's About You (wonderful). Your Train CD (first one, I believe) is excellent (love track 12 - no name - I'm guessing Look At Yourself - WOW!) Anyway, keep playing and I hope to see you soon. Let us know about a return trip to Portland, OR. Thanks

Shelly - Mon Apr 23 20:20:18 EDT 2001

Hey everyone! I was just curious as to who is going to the April 28th show in Indy? I have tickets but I don't think I am going to be able to make it. My car is in the shop, ie to transportation to get there. I could rent a limo and show up in style, but I spent my last $20 on my ticket. I hope something happens and a car appears on my front lawn Saturday morning, but if not, I know the show is going to rock. Have fun if you are going. Take care, bye!

Lindsay - Mon Apr 23 20:00:38 EDT 2001

I was at the LA show at the House Of Blues on April 19th and was hoping to get the set list. I LOVED the show.

STACEY - Mon Apr 23 19:56:02 EDT 2001

Hey Pat and guys,
I just got your new CD last week. I couldnt wait to hear it. The new sound on this CD is very addictive. I haven't taken it out of my truck since I put it in the cd player last week. My 8 year old son loves the first track "Fire".

I'm also stoked to hear you are going to be touring with Matchbox 20. I first got into your music last year when you opened for Collective Soul in Jacksonville, FL. I bought your CD the next day. You guys have a very refreshing sound. In days where everyone is sounding the same or over done you guys come across in a way that is hard to describe. I know with more and more exposure everyone will have to have your new CD. I hope you will be comming back to Jacksonville sometime in the near future. In the meantime, I will continue to be a fan and make everyone who rides in my truck listen to your music. Wishing you guys great success in the future!!!!
Carol in Jacksonville

Carol Corley - Mon Apr 23 19:09:46 EDT 2001

Hey Guys:
It was good to you all down south - glad we got to say hello and chat for a spell - stayed in La Jolla - beautiful place but San Francisco is my home - so Pat I know how you feel when you said you missed the Bay Area SOOOOO much. As always you guys were great - thoroughly enjoyed both shows. Also enjoyed your rendition of "Brown Sugar". Never, out of the 3 gazillion shows we've been to, have we seen/heard you all perform that song. Now, Pat, all you have to do is prounce around the stage "Jagger Style" and you'll be good-to-go hee hee wink wink. Looking forward to the Warfield show. If I may, I would like to request that you all play "Hopeless and Mississippi" (our fav off the new CD)and my OLD OLD fav "Sorry For" (highway). By-the-way, speaking of "Sorry For" can you tell me what this song is about - I've been quessing for the longest time and if I told of my quesses you all would laugh yourselves silly. One more thing I get a real charge out of seeing you guys on TV - caught the Letterman and Rosie show and I must say, Pat, you can work that camera - looks as though you were born to be in front of a camera. Alright alright I'll stop.

As Always you all take care, be safe and enjoy your success.

Love JoAnn & Joe/See you soon

Johnny Borden III - Mon Apr 23 17:05:44 EDT 2001

Howdy Boys. Just read you did an acoustic taping of "Ramble On" - most excellent. Look forward to hearing it (when?).

I'm doing my best to get the word out for your gig at the Opera House (Toronto, Canada). Fab news that you are coming back. Look forward to the seeing you all again - a step up from Lee's Palace, finally! About time. We'll get you in the Air Canada Centre soon enough. Not that I don't prefer the quaint pubs but time to share the music! Please PLEASE include "I am" on your set in T.O. Where's the party afterwards? Where's Arnie, is he coming? He owes me a drink!
Cheers & beers boys, karen ;)
PS - are you flying first class yet?
PPS - your song is still getting heaps of air time on the MIX 99.9fm

K. Bruce - Mon Apr 23 16:39:50 EDT 2001

I have had the song drops of jupiter in my head all day long and i would really like to know the lyrics. I've looked all over to no avail. Will someone please email them to me. I would really apriciate it!
Thanks!

nikki - Mon Apr 23 16:35:19 EDT 2001

I was at the Rosie show when you performed. It was great. Drops of Jupiter is great, but I think It's about you is just as great or better. Good Luck.

Sarah Lou - Mon Apr 23 16:32:43 EDT 2001

Your Buzzfest show was wonderful - as I expected it would be! Hearing you sing Zep was awesome. I always know that putting in one of your CD's will make me me feel good - your music is powerful. Thanks for rockin' with us in Houston and thanks for the autographs. Come back soon!

Hey Jimmy,
A shout out from your family in Dallas/ Fort Worth. Konni finally returned my message and she said yall don't always play whippin boy. Please play it Friday!! We look forward to seeing you. Love the new CD!! My personal favorites are whippin boy, hopeless, let it roll( its got a Texas feel to it). See ya friday.

Uncle Robin - Mon Apr 23 15:26:59 EDT 2001

So I followed the band from the Petaluma show to L.A., Scottsdale, and San Diego. All were great and I had SOOOOOOOOO much fun! The San Diego show was amazing, "Sweet Rain" and "Brown Sugar"(AWESOME!) were a treat! Thank you TRAIN -y'all are fabulous! Have an excellent time during the rest of the tour!

shani - Mon Apr 23 15:16:14 EDT 2001

I've already got my tix for the May 16th show - but I have a dilemma!
I am dying to hear "Gas" and "Flatfoot", but since my husband is 6'3", I
can't watch the show (and thus make the request) next to the stage -
people tend to get exponentially angrier each foot closer he gets to the
stage... SO, I'm sending my pre-show song request on-line instead - is
there any way you guys can fit one of these songs into the Chicago show???

Can't wait to see the show - I've seen you guys 5 times already, and I
ALWAYS have an incredibly fun time! Hope you never lose that energy!

Dave Rossi at the X has been trying to get someone to do a cover of the song "Black Betty". When I heard it I thought "It has to be Train"

One of the other DJs mentioned getting you to do it.

Why dont you think about it and give Dave a call.

Eeyore - Mon Apr 23 14:41:04 EDT 2001

My encouraging thoughts! You guys sound great. Don't have the album yet, it's on the "need it" list. Your sound is uplifting, and your lryics really thought provoking. Keep up the great work.

Deborah - Mon Apr 23 13:59:24 EDT 2001

San Diego performance this weekend
was even better than LA!! "Brown Sugar" and "Sweet Rain" were OUTSTANDING!!
Pat told this story about a seagull
eating a jalapeno - corny & funny as hell.

Little note for Bob Schneider fans,
he WENT OFF! Literally - crashing into
Mike's cymbols, throwing down the mic stand.
Afterward, he said he'd recommend
doing that when you have a crappy day ...
but maybe not in front of a couple hundred people. LOL.

Amy Jo (A.J.) - Mon Apr 23 13:50:10 EDT 2001

This is a great song. It has brought me to a new view and life, and for that I thank Train. The question I am pursuing refers to the line "and that heaven is overrated". What exactly are you getting at with this line? Fantasy can bring us to a new extent of thinking, but religion in itself is a concept far beyond many of our comprehensions. So often in our society, love will take the place of peace in our hearts, so we eventually think of love as God. This dilemma is brought about in music so often that it scares me. The unconditional love from God and the love for another human being are not even close to being even and if this song is portraying this, I believe that "train" might be portraying a negative message on the sense of where love should come from. Thanks for the inspiration with love, but lets keep it at humanly love, and not the supreme love of God.

Micah - Mon Apr 23 13:30:04 EDT 2001

I've heard all about your live shows and have loved your music - you now have a lifelong die-hard fan! You guys ROCK!! Keep up the great work... I can't wait till you come back to Houston... be safe on the road!!

I had the absolute time of my life at the New Guys Breakfast Show at the Martini Ranch in Scottsdale. The setting was incredibly intimate and the music was fabulous! Being able to hang with the guys afterward was a definate bonus... Thanks for all the autographs and pictures and for being so nice! You are all GORGEOUS!!!!
Also wanted to let all of my fellow trainiacs to see the news at AOL about your HOB show... here's the link

tim - Mon Apr 23 12:46:59 EDT 2001

saw the san diego show and had a blast. loved the choice of covers, they fit your style great. I'd like to make an obscure cover request for the future, anything by Big Head Todd and The Monsters. I suppose you'd like everyone to know the words to songs you are covering, but if you are anywhere in CO, WI, IL the audience will follow. Thanks for the great show.

Judson - Mon Apr 23 12:36:08 EDT 2001

You guys rock! I only have email access at work, so have to make this quick, but I just wanted to say that I had so much fun at the San Diego concert on Saturday. My fiance has been following your music before it was heard as much on the radio, so I gave him the tickets for Easter. Now, I'm looking for the next show we can catch you at. And, hey, good choice of opening acts, too. Bob was great. :) Hope we can make it to another show soon.

Lisa - Mon Apr 23 12:19:46 EDT 2001

I was at the show in Petaluma last Wednesday night and I must say that it was awesome! I feel bad that all loyal Train fans don't get the opportunity to see them as 'up close and personal' as you do in a venue as small as the Mystic Theatre. Pat was phenomenal.....the voice! talking with the crowd!...just everything!
Thanks guys!

Debbe Vinje - Mon Apr 23 11:03:53 EDT 2001

It's me again.....I can't wait till I can get your new CD.......One more day till I can......I am writing again because I seen you guys on much music saying that you check your messages, I was impressed, so I am once again saying hello!!! Keep up the great work and you new song is still my favorite!!!!!!
Take Care Amanda xo

Amanda - Mon Apr 23 10:58:53 EDT 2001

I think it's awesome that Train did a New Guys Breakfast for the listeners of KZON 101.5 in Phoenix!! I only wish I had known about it before hand so I could have gone!

Sharon - Mon Apr 23 10:10:40 EDT 2001

Can anybody tell me where or how I can get a copy of "Drops of Jupiter" with the extra tracks on it?? Thanks!!!

Kathleen - Mon Apr 23 09:03:08 EDT 2001

I saw them do Sweet Rain in concert last year in NYC. It rocked. Pat even played the wooden flute, exaclty like it sounded on the version on the "1 1/2" CD. The song is awesome. If some of you guys don't have "1 1/2" you should, they also play an ecoustic Meet Virginia and Hopeless, plus Ramble On.....Enough Said! D

Dalton - Mon Apr 23 08:56:38 EDT 2001

I didn't know anything about you, then I saw your concert on April 18. Splendid! You told me you'd come to Sweden in June. Which dates and where?

Take good care,

trainfan - Mon Apr 23 03:00:50 EDT 2001

I saw the concert last night as Cane's in SD. The show was awesome. I have to agree with what Leslie posted earlier about the crap that Cane's pulled with letting people in after standing in line for almost 2 hours. I was about 10 poeple back from the front of the line and when I got in there wasn't a place to sit, standing room only. And the area right in front of the stage was already taken. That's BS!

Anywho- the band played a spectacular show. I hope the next time they come back to SD, they will try to play at the 4th and B again. I am sure they can fill the venue. I saw them there last spring when they came to town and it was a intimate show.

Also- LOVED Bob Schneider. After he played, he came out to sign CD's and talk to the fans. What a great performer. The best part of his show was when he completely let go during "Blue Skies for Everyone"! I was three people back from the front, and we were sure he was going to fall off the stage! Way to go Bob!

Hollie - Mon Apr 23 02:57:08 EDT 2001

Ralph, the band does play "Sweet Rain" in concert and the song is on their CD, One and a Half.

I've been following you guys since we played with you in Chico Ca. (Sunset Red) I just want to say that you guys are a true class act. You are all amazing musicians, but even more important, you all extremely humble and down to earth. I look forward to seeing you at the Warfield.

Take care,

Hi Everybody,
My name is Bryan, and I really like Train and their work. I am also a huge fan of a band called Our Lady Peace (OLP). If you like Train, I suggest giving OLP a listen. Occasionally I will be posting messages on this message board to keep everyone updated on any new developments with OLP (new albums, tours, etc...) I just thought I would take this chance to introduce myself...so I look forward to chatting with you soon.

Hey guys
I'm a 21 year old university student in Ontario Canada and I just wanted to say I bought your first cd (Train) last summer, and it's been in heavy rotation in my cd tray ever since. Today I saw the video for your new video, Drops of Jupiter, and absolutely loved the song. It was actually the first time I'd seen any of your faces, and was pleasantly surprised. I just wanted to say that in the age of boy bands and teen pop sensations, you guys are like a breath of fresh air, not to sound too cliche. I'm hoping to buy your new cd ASAP and I really hope to come see you in May in Toronto.
Anyway, keep up the fantastic work!

Shelby - Mon Apr 23 00:10:22 EDT 2001

Can't wait to see the boys here in Charlotte. I saw them for the first time last year in Atlanta and I can't remember the last time a band blew me away that much. I was so impressed.

The new album is absolutely amazing and is such an amazing display of songwriting intensity and showmanship. You guys really did it right!

Keep it up and I can't wait to see you here in Charlotte. I would love to meet a couple of the guys as well and talk songwriting since i'm a singer/songwriter myself. Anyone on here from Charlotte? I'd love to hear from some other Trainheads in the area!

Peace & Music,
Don

Saw Train almost two years ago at the Warfield in SF and I've been waiting for their return. I'm going to be there 5/26, I can't wait. Your CD's don't do justice to your live shows. You guys are great. Come back to SF more often, you have a lot of loyal fans here.

I sang Drops Of Jupiter to my boyfriend, and he said it was some of the most beautiful lyrics he had ever heard. It was an amazing relationship, we were so insync, intuned with each other emotions and thoughts. Then one day he told me that this was a difficult time in his life and he couldn't do this anymore. He told me i didn't deserve pain like this and swore it wasn't another girl, but wouldn't give specifics. i was so blindsided I left with out fighting for an answer. it was one if the hardest things i have ever had to do, i just got out of the car, and left him, with all that pain in his eyes and confusion in his heart, now every time i hear Drops Of Jupiter i think of the moment one day he wrapped his arms around me and held me close like there would be no tomorrow, and a single tear falls. Your music has moved me.

Cassandra - Sun Apr 22 22:38:03 EDT 2001

I am so excited that I get to see you guys this week. I love your music, and I am
hoping to hear "Hopeless" live. Have fun in Austin, it is a
great place to be...and I will see you on Friday night in Dallas! --K

Karen - Sun Apr 22 22:31:15 EDT 2001

Hi all-
I really enjoyed seeing Train last year at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC...and they REALLY won me over when they came on playing "I Want You To Want Me" as their first encore! I border a bit on "stalker status" when it come to Cheap Trick..anyway, I posted a nice review of the Train show on the TrickList (yeah, I know....get a life! hahaha) and got an email from Rick Neilsen to let me know that he had read it. No wonder I enjoy the musical stylings of Train- they obviously have GREAT taste in musical infuences! Rock on Trainsters!!!

Kathy with a "K" - Sun Apr 22 22:20:55 EDT 2001

I would like to know how to play the opening piano solo in Drops of Jupiter(tell me more).....that would be cool if i could learn how to play it. if any one knows how please e-mail me

Jason - Sun Apr 22 22:10:10 EDT 2001

After seeing the boys at the HOB in LA on Thursday I could not wait to see them
again last night at Canes in San Diego. Didn't think they could match the energy,
but sure enough, they did. Great show. (For those of you who do not want to know
what they have been playing stop reading now). Another beautiful version of
"Getaway," my new fav Train song. Also "whipping Boy" was new from Thursday and
excellent. Also covered "Ramble On" again and Stones' "Brown Sugar" which was
a very pleasant surprise. and Ralph, they did play a funky-cool version of "Sweet Rain."
Great show all around and I will agree with an earlier post that the Canes setup kind
of sucked. Not enough to take away from a great show though. The two shows in
three days sandwiched my 26th b-day and it was a terrific b-day weekend. Can't believe
I have to go back and teach tomorrow. Reality (and the end of spring break) sucks.
Well, can't wait for the boys to come back ASAP and there is always U2 on Thursday.
Thanks again guys. Keep up the good work.

You guys just get better each time I see you. This is your Number 1 fan Youlanda in AZ. The New Guys breakfast was great, I'm glad you like the stuff I had framed. Hope to see you this Summer with Match Box 20, keep the faith. Hey Rob did Tom give you the picture from your younger days? Until we meet again. Youlanda

Youlanda White - Sun Apr 22 21:22:54 EDT 2001

can anyone who has seen the band on this tour tell if they do sweet rain. and why wasn't this song on the new cd. thanks

Wow, what a show Friday night in AZ, I had such a great time! Train is just awesome and that's all I need to say :) I wish they were coming back to AZ, or some place close, but no go. I'm going to Chicago for a few weeks and I miss them there by 2 days :(

What's this I hear about matchbox 20 and train together!? Anyone know if they are coming to AZ? If so, send me a quick email, please!

Train, you guys are the best! I've told everyone I know how awesome it was Friday night. thanks for such a great show, keep it up!

Carly - Sun Apr 22 20:03:19 EDT 2001

I bought the new Train CD and I am THRILLED! I missed their show at the House of Blues last week, :( but I am looking forward to seeing them when they return to LA.

If the band happens to read this note, PLEASE stay in the same vibe as this recent album. Your lyrics, music, and passion are beautiful and it is refreshing to hear a band's whole CD. It touches my soul and inspires me. PLEASE don't sell out and go commercial like other bands have.......ie; Dave Matthews Band.

Keep up the amazing work! It's bringing alot of joy to people's lives. :)

i've just been reading some of the latest comments. i don't quite understand how some people, not naming names (daniel), can totally slam one band and then praise another.
i adore radiohead, bless the day thom yorke was brought into this world, and i also love train. i don't think thom yorke, as a musician, would think too highly of anyone putting so much effort into slamming another band. i don't get it.
why can't you just say, "this ain't my cup of tea," and move on with your freakin' life????? or do you have a life? there's too much negative energy out there already without you.
find something else to do.

Hey guys--you seem to know a lot of counting crows stuff and since i'm addicted to train and everyone seems to be comparing the two, i was wondering if somebody could recomend some good counting crows songs for me to download--please email me: Lilac24aj@aol.com

Lilac - Sun Apr 22 18:44:14 EDT 2001

what makes a person such a fool?
just because someone could put into words what someone else could only feel? doesn't mean someone else has to get petty and jealous...
i know when she left i hurt like hell
still i wouldn't vent frustrations on ones who could make sense of it all just for their having the courage to share with the world the feelings caused by a similar situation...
really who's got the time to hate?
all m' fellow pasengers who let the music take them...

No wonder you are the way you are. Your mom seems cool for someone that married her brother. LOL

mike - Sun Apr 22 16:34:23 EDT 2001

mom you are wrong. please don't come on this site again. as for me, i used to like barry manilow, but not anymore. my sister amy and i only dated 3 times so drop it. i did not buy a train poster nor cd, as i go. i also do not wear dresses anymore. i still don't like train, but the singer is kind of cute, your comments do not affect me, blah, blah, blah

daniel - Sun Apr 22 16:25:01 EDT 2001

I've heard and I now know...hello epiphany!

...further investigation on this "new-er" band (if you will) and I see nothing but BS!

..."F" the comparison's, "F" the critics opinions on the song writing, "F" all opposed to the band's music, "F" it all. you all forget! it's the music not the image.

KUDOS....gr8 work!! :)

.........& keep it up!

Hi Guys,

Just a note from a fan, the new album is fantastic!!
Thank you so much for the words,
the music, I feel them in my soul! Love it!!

Connie - Sun Apr 22 14:01:42 EDT 2001

Wow what an awesome show. Then again so was the last Train show I saw. The energy comming form the band to the fans is awesome. ou guys are the best.

Myt only complaint is about Canes. THey totally ruined part of the evening for me and a handful of others.
They had us all in one line to start and before opening the doors they gave us wristbands and checked ID's for 21 and up. Mike and I were third and fourth in line and we got there at 5:30. (really 4 but ew hung out listening to Train first in the car)
SO a few min after we get the bands some guy comes out saying something about the back entrance you can wait at too if you are ????? this is w2here we couldnt tell if he said 21 and over or the people without wristbands. And being right in the front of the line we were ot goign to race with the other people to the back door. We complain as we see the other door's line disapeer. They dont do much then finally realize they better let the screaming people in and dsid. However, all the best spots were takin. They had let the back door people in and the people who had been eating upstairs and were also waiting to get in. No one told us this. SO here we are fighting for good spots with people that just got there. Mind you its right by the ocean and freeeeezing. So someone complained to the manager and I walked over since I was apart of it and he wasnt helpful at all. Says thats the way they do things and so on. Well they need to let people know sooner. The bouncers who were at the door should have known and said somethign. Anyway ive "Rambled On" enough. Not sure I plan to go back to canes anytime soon, unless train plays again I will :) But this is a good FYI for the next time anyone goes there.
(I have tons of pics thouhg there are poles in the way cause of my horrible seat) i will post soon.

Thanks for listening

Leslie

Leslie - Sun Apr 22 13:45:45 EDT 2001

I think it is great that Train is playing at the X-Fest in Pittsburgh because it is a great concert. My only hope is that the band plays all of their new stuff because I love the new CD.

Rich Johns - Sun Apr 22 11:39:34 EDT 2001

I was wondering if anyone recorded the performance Train did on Craig Kilbourne's show about a week ago. I heard it was a great performance and was wondering if anyone recorded it and converted it to .wav or .mp3. Thanks. They played Drops of Jupiter

Matt - Sun Apr 22 11:29:52 EDT 2001

I can't say enough about "Drops of Jupiter". Being a musician myself, I haven't heard such a wonderfully written piece of music in a long time. It's got a beautiful flow and it really inspires me to create. My respect for this band is enormous!!!!

Just got in from the show at Cane's in Mission Beach. The guys totally rocked the house!
Pat's voice is so clear , strong, and smooth, and it stayed that way right up to the last note.
Amazing energy and stamina! Scott was a madman, and I so loved it when Pat and Scott
did the two man percussion jam. Jimmy's mandolin sounded so sweet, floating above the melody,
I think I may have had an out of body experience! Loved the cover of Brown Sugar during the encore,
and Sweet Rain was also very touching. I would have liked to hear Let It Roll,
but Jimmy said they tried to stay away from the real slow ballads because it was more of an
upbeat venue. I really want to thank Pat, Charlie, and especially Jimmy for taking the time to
stop and talk in the parking lot. Pat sez DOJ came to him in a dream. How magical is that?
Thanks for the autographs, the conversation, and most of all for an honest, passionate performance
of some deeply inspired music. Namaste! ~Sylvia

Sylvia Lynn Morgan - Sun Apr 22 04:54:08 EDT 2001

please forgive daniel, he holds a lot of aggression towards train, because my husband(who is also my brother) are both train fanatics. as a child he would only listen to barry manilow. we forced him and his first girlfriend(his sister) to listen to train, apparently that was not healthy. we try to force him to take his medicine, but he is very reluctant. doctor fishburg feels that danny likes train, but is in the closet and trying to come out with his new personality. he did stop wearing dresses and that is a big relief. please be patient with him and let him come out in his own time.
embarrassed mother(and train fan)

martha focker - Sun Apr 22 04:32:55 EDT 2001

my first thought about the plane logo was that it represented DOJ - directly from the line in the song about the man too afraid to fly so he never did land...(that, and the original DOJ video being shot in an airplane hanger or something)...
but if it's just a take on the old "planes, trains, & automobiles" thing, then that's cool, too.
i did get a kick about the tie in to Amelia Earhardt, though...

peace
Trainiacs!

TiKi - Sun Apr 22 03:36:41 EDT 2001

i cannot tell you why those lyrics are brilliant,
personally i do not find that they are. i never said radiohead was brilliant, i said i listened to them at times. i do not own that particular song, nor will i bother to. this is not a battle of the bands. i wave no flags for any band, nor will
i bother defending my tastes. i don't have to qualify myself in order to have and post my opinions. i think train is garbage music, effortless and disgustly mainstream. for
whatever sad reasons, american music buyers
seem to forever gravitate towards the bland
and the uninspired. we have become a society
of passive simpletons. beer will win out over
spirituality every time. we are collectively
lifeless, not born to run, but wallow in front
of the tv watching soap operas and cartoons.
perhaps it's fitting that this hell has a top
forty soundtrack. as for me....no thanks. i'll
take my orb and liszt cd's and hit the highway..
laughing at the comedy of your pathetic souls
as i go. whatever. you don't care and i don't care. that's pretty much the way it's always been.
your comments don't affect me, i don't know why
mine should affect you. blah blah blah.....whatever....
and...by the way....the 'real daniel' can construct a sensible sentence, still dislikes
train, and has no yahoo address....seems bad
imitators go right along with the bad music on
this site....

you guys are just playing right into my hands aren't you?? you're so easy...replying to my hate Train posts and giving me the attention i'm just begging for...like if my posts are really what i think, you're actually going to change my mind or something...you're really just encouraging me to keep on going...if you want me to go away, why don't you just ignore me?!

love always,

not the Daniel...(hint, hint all my fellow Trainheads out there!)

hi all...i was wandering the same thing and got the answer from the horses mouth...so to speak...according to the source, the airplane is just a "Train style" joke...get it...airplane...Train...ummmm...car...submarine...hahaha...hiliarious those guys are...

- Sun Apr 22 01:52:38 EDT 2001

I know this is probably how everyone feels...but when it happens to you, it's just hard to believe. I haven't been this into a band in a long time. I actually stopped listening to the radio because I couldn't even listen to anything out there, and then well need I say more. Thanks..

Random replies....To Debra: I agree, MB20/Everclear/Lifehouse was an awesome show! I hope the MB20/Train tour does come through your way, because I'm sorry to say that I think you've already missed Train's headlining Portland date. To Melissa: Have you ever visited amiright.com? I can't remember how I stumbled in there the first time, but I can't stop going back....it's a site for misheard song lyrics and it's absolutely hysterical! Maybe I'll submit my own misheard Train lyrics--anyone else got any of those? My favorite is actually one of my friends': she heard "One day I'll wear the wig" in Rat. To all the frustrated New Yorkers: I hear ya! I can't believe they're not stopping in NYC en route to Philly :(. I'm sure they'll come back here eventually, but for now I'm following a crazy impulse and going to Hartford and Albany as well. It'll just about kill my car, but one show just isn't enough! And to Cynical and Daniel: wouldn't you guys get more enjoyment out of discussing music you like, instead of music that upsets you? I happen to like the Monkees and the Bangles, and I think Radiohead is brilliant (though I'm not going to attempt an interpretation of Creep on the Train BBS), but if you guys disagree then talking about them's only going to bring you down :(. Ehhh, I don't even know why I'm saying anything...all this wonderful Train must've gone to my head!

Laura - Sat Apr 21 23:09:15 EDT 2001

OK, even though they so unfairly shoved all -21 up onto the balcony at last nights show, I had the best time. Never in my life have I heard so many people sing along to one song like they did for "Meet Virginia". And despite my initial irritation, I think that we got a better view from above, since we were practically on top of the stage! So I was one happy little camper. And the three members I got to meet were incredibly gracious and sweet. Charlie chatted with us for a good twenty minutes, and I have to say he's much too soft-spoken and timid to be such an amazing "rock star"! And Pat is even better looking up close than he is in pictures. They were all much more down to earth than I thought was possible for such talented musicians. I can't wait until ya'll come back!

'ropa - Sat Apr 21 22:09:52 EDT 2001

Hey im way excited about the sounds of a tour with matchbox 20...i just saw them with everclear and lifehouse...it was AWESOME...i would love to see Train!! You guys gotta make a stop for a concert in Portland Oregon!!!! Take care y'all

Annette Alexandrea - Sat Apr 21 19:57:43 EDT 2001

Hey train fans! I'm also from the matchboxtwenty.com GD (hey matty! hehe) and i'd like to say i'm VERY excited about seeing Train and matchbox twenty touring together. i love both bands, and you train fans who are going to the shows will NOT be dissappointed with matchbox twenty's performance! i saw them in march and they were soooo awesome! let's not be like "oh, mbt is soo much better!" or "train kicks mbt's ass!" let's keep it that the bands are touring together so they respect eachother and like eachother's music, so we should respect their decision.

Later days,

Alyse

p.s. feel free to come visit us at matchboxtwenty.com's GD!! we love having newbies! we met lots of everclear fans who were soo nice!

Daniel will you tell me why the following lyrics are so brilliant. I don't get it. Enlighten me please:

Thank you

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
She's running out again
She's running out
She's run run run running out
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

After the fall-out on this site regarding "Van Halen" vs "And Heaven", I went in search of a book I bought years ago with nothing in it but misheard lyrics. They are hilarious.... Here are a few:

Jimi Hendrix/ Purple Haze: 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy (vs: 'scuse me while I kiss the sky)

CCR/ Bad Moon Rising: There's a bathroom on the right (vs: There's a bad moon on the rise)

The Doors/ LA Woman: Well I did a little dog about an hour ago (vs: Well I just got into town about an hour ago)

Pink Floyd/ Another Brick in the Wall: The Dukes of Hazzard are in the classroom (vs: No dark sarcasm in the classroom)

The Beatles/ Michelle: Sunday monkey won't play piano song, play piano song (vs: Sont des mots qui tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble)

Nirvana/ Smells like Teen Spirit: I'm blotto and bravada, I'm a scarecrow, and a Beatle (vs: A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido)

Michael Jackson/ Billie Jean: But the chair is not my size (vs: But the kid is not my son)

Manfred Mann/ Blinded by the light: Wrapped up like a douche another roller in the night (vs: Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)

See, happens all the time... hope the folks that misheard the lyric as being about Van Halen get a kick out of this and lighten up a bit.

Anyone have one they'd like to share?

Melissa - Sat Apr 21 13:45:42 EDT 2001

So, as my frenzy stage is waning
(just until tonight's performance),
my logical, over-analytical self emerges
and starts to think... hmmm, a group
called Train using Airplane symbols for
this CD, tour, etc...

Let's discuss ... Does it mean:
A) The airplane as a modern bird,
symbolizing the release of the spirit
from the bondage to the earth? (afterall,
these guys ARE thinkers)

B) An Amelia Earhart connection, since Pat's
daughter's name is Emelia? (I know, it's
a stretch)

C) stop overthinking things, A.J.,
it's just a cool logo some manager
developed.

anyone, anyone???

Amy Jo (A.J.) - Sat Apr 21 13:31:36 EDT 2001

this second train album is worth waiting for. LET IT ROLL is perfect for a lazy day and MISSISSIPPI is elegant. Train is somewhat un-heard of with most people but those who know them praise them. I saw them them in Nashville and they blew me away with their music and their version of RAMBLE ON. Drops of Jupiter ROCKS. Cant wait till they come to Europe.

I just saw Train in Scottsdale and again they were great!! I've seeen them 3 times and wish I could see them more than once a year! Although the Cajun House isn't my favorite place to see them. I'd prefer to be able to sit down and not have people pushing me over to get their beers.

Pat you're groovy moves are such fun!!!

thx TRAIN for being such a great group!

They are truly one of the best bands around and i even bought a Train poster. Train fans rule.

On this message board he is no longer a pain,
Oh and

Oh it looks like Daniel
He listened and found himself surprised..

Whoa, oh,oh..

How we do feel for TRAIN... And the songs have set you free...
You know we're right... We see the TRAIN'S headlights

If you guys ever see the movie High Fidelity (with John Cusack)...watch for the part in the beginning where Jack Black comes in singing, "I'm Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina & the Waves. Right when he's singing by the cash register, look at the counter. Train sticker! Woo woo! And what's cool is that in the movie, the guys that work in the record store pride themselves in their great taste in music. What a GREAT plug for a great band, ay?

wedge - Fri Apr 20 23:31:44 EDT 2001

As much as I appreciate LA Mad Dog's enthusiasm, please no more set lists. I am on the east coast, and would like to have a little surprise to my show.
Although I am totally psyched that they played Getaway. I pray they play it over here. And Idaho, how cool is that!

But please, leave me some suspense, even though I know the show is gonna be great no matter what.
You could tell me every song in order and it won't matter.

Hello Charlie,Rob,Pat,Jim & Scott,
Just wanted to ask you guys to please tour
in the northeast penna. region ... love both
albums... I am 31 with two beautiful girls
and the greatest wife in the world. We love
to spend our "quality time" together going to
see artist that we can relate with... we love
everyone from Bruce to Petty to the Wallflowers
and you guys seem to have that same feel...
It is great to see that someone still writes,
sings and actually performs their own songs!
Hershey,Wilkes-Barre and Reading are some great
local markets where I'm sure you guys can fill
the place... or you can play in our yard!
let me know... we could put you up for the night
as long as you don't mind free beer and good music! Good Luck with your tour, jim b.

What more can a person say about your music that hasn't already been said? I can only agree with only the great things said and say thank you for allowing your lyrics and sound to be shared...and touching my heart...a place I haven't allowed to be touched in so long.
Thank you *smile*

Any chance of a stop in Oklahoma City? There are several decent venues here. My husband and I really like you guys.

Karen - Fri Apr 20 21:48:00 EDT 2001

I had heard you drops of jupiter song on much music and loved it. I got your cd and every song is
amazing! You guys are seriously like my favorite band now! I am huge in to music and you
sing exactly the type of music I love. It's weird you said here on your site that you are opening for
Matchbox twenty cause I was going to say you sound alot like them and Counting Crows
Anyways I was a little disapointed to see your not coming to calgary but maybe you are
with match box twenty...When matchbox twenty came I was all psyched and got tickets
and at the time i was in grade 11 and my parents were all strict and didn't trust my driving
skills in a big city since we are 2 hours away...but if you guys came I am sure I would be in the first row.
If you could let me know that would be great...it would be more than a priveldge to listen to
your guys great talent live!......Thanks sincerly, Lani Alger. alger18@hotmail.com

About a week ago I was listening to my local radio station when I heard that Train was playing close to where I live. I couldn't believe it! Right after the shock passed through me the DJ informed that the show was sold out! Bummer! Oh, well, I'll catch you guys next time you come around.

Keep on Rockin'- Delia B.

P.S. I love the new CD!!!

Delia - Fri Apr 20 20:56:19 EDT 2001

GET OVER HERE TO HAWAII!!!!(and get me a ticket!)
so dying for killer music!
island fever, ya know?
well, thanks.

Zzz...

ps- i am so serious, no one comes to hawaii at all! ever!!!!that would totally rock if you guys could!

Zeldah - Fri Apr 20 20:49:51 EDT 2001

I saw "Drops of Jupiter" for the first time a while ago, and i could not stop crying. and i dont think that it was the message as much as the passion you could hear that was put into the song, and then i came to sanfrancisco and heard you guys on the radio on Alice 97.3 and i was like, "aww, $hit" cuz i didnt make it in time to see you guys. oh well. maybe next time. well, i hope you make another cd soon, because i think this is a really good one. music conveys a cetain pesona, and your music sends an uplifting sense of contentment in life, so thanks.
be happy...

tears of joy,
tiana

ps- you guys should come to hawaii soon!

tiana - Fri Apr 20 20:32:23 EDT 2001

I recently picked up your cd, "Drops of Jupiter"..
WOW!!! Every track is burned in my memory!
It has become my favorite cd....my husband even likes it..(and, he usually does not care for my music.) A thirty-something, mother of three..I have never expressed my appreciation to a band for great music, but, you guys are awesome and I wanted to tell you so. Peace and God Bless....Abby

Abby - Fri Apr 20 20:18:51 EDT 2001

Couple of things:
1) Set list- while maybe not the exact order, Train played the following songs last night:
Respect
She's On Fire
Meet Virginia
I Wish You Would
I Am
It's About You
Eggplant
Ramble On
Drops
Something More
Getaway (for the first time ever according to Rob)
Hopeless
Free
Idaho
Let it Roll

I think that's it. I also had special "meet the band" passes for after the show and got to hang with Rob for a while. Totally down to earth guy. Just happy to be playing music. People will go to the Train/M20 show to see Train. They are so much more musically talented than M20 it is unreal. By the way, a friend from Sony hooked me up with the tix, but just barely. Apparently the band is so "hot" right now, all the Sony/Columbia tix went to industry insiders. later

LAMadDog - Fri Apr 20 19:55:25 EDT 2001

Hi there!

The name is David and I love train!!! i want to see you guys in concert, but my dad, im 12, thinks that all rock concerts involve underage drinking and heroine and just plain out pandamonium! I know that this isnt true, but if you could write it to my dad saying that it isnt, i would be so thankful!!

Thanx a million, keep up the great music,
Dave

Hey guys, just wanted to say that I love your music, I think it's really great. And Jimmy, I wanted to let you know that I'm good friends with your cousin Jenny Gibson. We used to semi-work together. I work out of a corporate office in Dallas, Texas and she worked in one of our properties in Columbus. She called me up and asked me if I knew of a band called "Train" and I was like HELL YEAH! I would be so honored to be able to see you play in Deep Ellum next Friday. I've always wanted to see you play live. Well,keep kickin' ass!

Love, Shelly in Texas...

Shelly - Fri Apr 20 17:10:09 EDT 2001

The first 2 people to email colcontest@sonymusic.com with your name, age, mailing address, phone number and 'Train - Englewood' in the subject will receive a pair of tickets to see Train on April 24th at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, CO. NO transportation will be provided.

ColContest - Fri Apr 20 16:35:23 EDT 2001

Wow, I'm impressed by you guys. Not only do you have a fantabulous web site--clean, clear, interesting, and informative, but you guys can clearly write songs and sing! You've captured the complexities of women with "Meet Virginia" and "Drops of Jupiter." For that, I thank you.

Andrea Gloor - Fri Apr 20 16:10:01 EDT 2001

Hey I'm 50 years old and have never written a band in mylife but I had to tell you guys you fuckin rock!!!!

It is so cool that Train will be touring with Matchbox Twenty. I absolutely can't wait, that will be an awesome show!!

Rhonda - Fri Apr 20 13:54:37 EDT 2001

Petaluma on the 18th was the 13th time I've seen Train live. Glad for their continually growing success and have never seen them give a bad performance. BUT, I have to say the sound system at McNear's was atrocious. WAY too much bass for both T. & the opening band, felt I could hardly hear the drums. I'm sure the musicians already know this, I thought I saw a few well-timed grimaces. No criticism of the band implied, more the venue. And having to wait more than an hour after the posted opening time to get inside was just amateur. Last time I saw Train at McNear's I enjoyed the place, but now I'm thinking, haven't they hit the big-time enough to play somewhere with good sound and functioning toilets?

Oh well. Looking forward to Warfield.

Longish-time fan - Fri Apr 20 13:51:19 EDT 2001

Does anybody have any tickets to sell for the San Diego Show at Canes Bar & Grill? Or know someone or where to get some? I'm desperate! Please help? I just found out that theye were playing This Saturday. Just in time to also find out that they are SOLD OUT! =( If you have any info, please email me ASAP... cking@qualcomm.com. Thank You!!!

Cassidy - Fri Apr 20 13:45:30 EDT 2001

Your thoughts Hey Scott, you problably will never get message, but I thought I would try. Remember me, your cousin Laura. We have a bunch of your cousins coming to see you guys on May 12th at Norhern Lights. Even, Uncle Dennis and Aunt Laura will be there, along with Baby Carol (My daughter) who is now 17 years old. Can't wait to see you. You guys sound great!!!!

Love Cousin Laura

Laura Megill Murphy - Fri Apr 20 12:32:51 EDT 2001

I was so wired I couldn't sleep, even
though I was exhausted ... and now
I have a perma-grin that no one can
wipe off my face... you'd think it was
sex... but, alas... it was the boys
in LA at HOB last night. WOW!!! Gotta
agree with my buddy Steve, "Getaway"
really grooved with Pat's sultry bari-sax playin'... and "Idaho" -thanks for
that one!!

For those of you who don't have
tickets to the other venues, if the HOB
is any indication - there were ticket
sellers outside. Some honest guy selling
a ticket for $20... all the way up to
$80.

And... Bob Schneider ... what a pleasant
surprise. A little quirky, funny and
funky all rolled into one. Not bad to
look at either. Go early to see this guy!!

And... I can't get enough ... I'll be
headin' down to San Diego tomorrow ...
anyone want to hook up beforehand??

Daniel, have you truly converted? Do I see drops of jupiter in your hair?
Are you heavy on your knees, tired of being down, down, with no information? Are you begging for more forgiveness, and looking for something more?
Say it isn't so. Who will we have to argue with on this board?
Because I know if you really did pick up either of the Train CD's,
and listened to the WHOLE thing, not just DOJ,
not just Meet VA, you would be converted. So is it really true? Have you been saved. ARE YOU HEALED? Congratulations if so.

But I'm not sure I believe you. After all you were pretty adamant before. Just Like Sam.

CJ - Fri Apr 20 11:49:04 EDT 2001

Hey Guys, Great show last night at the House of Blues. Can't wait to see you again Saturday in San Diego. The new album is great!! Keep Rockin'

Damon - Fri Apr 20 11:31:24 EDT 2001

I have to be honest I am a METAL head in the biggest way(I idolize TOOL).But my girlfriend got me listening to some Train and I have to tell you these guys are one of the greatest bands I have ever heard.I am so impressed I am going to purchase all of their CD's in about 10 min.

Anyways train you now have a huge METALHEAD fan in your corner keep pumping out the GREAT tunes!!

Jeff T - Fri Apr 20 11:13:40 EDT 2001

Hi everyone,

To Train: You guys are the Best!!!!!!!

For all you comming down to San Diego just wanted to see if anyone wants to meet up. I know a few people comming already. But it would be neat to get the online group together.
You can email at the above email :)
Hope to meet some of you there

Micheal - Fri Apr 20 09:49:10 EDT 2001

How cool is this band! Pat sends us a wav message that he is doing laundry, too bad it got cut off, but still very cool.....This band not only makes amazing music, but you can tell they are just normal guys, have finally(deservably) made it big.....but still know that the fans are what makes a band truly successful!

Thanks TRAIN!

Dalton - Fri Apr 20 09:43:39 EDT 2001

We are hoping to catch you next Saturday in
Indianapolis.
You all are awesome - you're my new favorite

Teresa - Fri Apr 20 05:04:45 EDT 2001

I loved Drops of Jupiter the very first time I heard it and after getting a glowing review of the CD from a co-worker I decided to buy my first Train CD. I got the last CD on the shelf at a Target store in Pittsburgh. It's been rockin my headphones for the last six hours straight. I'm in love with Train now! I'll be getting my tickets for the show in Pittsburgh at the Post-Gazette StarLake on May 11th. Can I put in a special request for either It's About You or Mississippi when you're here.
Thanx a Mill,
Teresa

Teresa - Fri Apr 20 05:00:14 EDT 2001

I just left the LA House of Blues show with a guitar pick Jimmy handed me, a set list, no voice and,of course, a SMILE!!! So I just wanted to say THANKS to the boys for a great nite!!

ROB, thanks for your friendly smiles and those harmonies! So sweet!
SCOTT, thanks for those groovin' drum beats and those arms!
CHARLIE, thanks for some awesome guitar grooves and the killer smile! How cute are you?!
JIMMY, thanks for the cool guitar solo, the guitar pick after that solo and for wearing those leather pants!
What an awesome show! It was great seeing you all again and hopefully I'll see ya in San Diego on Saturday. I will definitely sleep well tonite with "Hopeless" playing in my head!! :o)
Love you all and miss you always! XOXO, Amy
ps-Bob Schneider...awesome choice for an opener!!

Friend of Train - Fri Apr 20 03:33:13 EDT 2001

Well, I caught the guys at the House of Blues tonight in L.A. and they were amazing.
Great versions of "Ramble On," "Getaway," and "Idaho." Second time I have seen
them at the H.O.B. and I am traveling down to San Diego to see them again at Canes
on Saturday. My birthday is Friday and this is an awesome way to spend the ol' birthday
weekend. Quick question, Do you guys ever play "Rat" in concert. It's my favorite
Train song and I have yet to hear it live? Also, I would love to hear Elton's "Daniel"
or the Black Crowes "She Talk to Angels." I think you guys could do killer versions of
both. Thanks again for a great night and I can't wait to see you again on Saturday.

Stevie B - Fri Apr 20 03:17:12 EDT 2001

hey all, just got my tickets in the mail today for the Detroit show. cant wait should be fun.
Hope to see any other Train fans there, and of course meet up with luke
again (hey man!) The fan appreciation show in chi-town
was awesome and im looking forward to seeing another great MI
show. A note for the guys/ or their management, 19wheels is hot
right now and would be a great opener. just a thought.
good luck with the kicking off of the tour!
the cd is amazing and i cant get the songs out of my head.
love whipping boy-good stuff.
thanks-Rob Ashmore

Rob Ashmore - Fri Apr 20 01:53:03 EDT 2001

Im a college student here in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Your music is amazing and I truely wish there was a tour stop near us. SCSU is an hour north of minneapolis, though our student body is large and has supported other concerts like The Wallflowers and most recently Ever Clear. Are there any plans to make a trip near us sometime soon? On a personal note I have just taken my first guitar lesson this past tuesday. Your music and lyrics have helped motivate me to find again what once was lost. Thanks again for your time. Keep up the work!

I just picked up the new cd, and boy am i ever glad I did that. It has to be one of the best albums this year. Didn't catch the first one but you can bet i'm getting it real soon. When you guys going to hit up Vegas, I love to see you guys live. Thanks.

Mike - Thu Apr 19 23:51:09 EDT 2001

I'm one of those loyal Huntsville fans who saw you in Jacksonville at JSU and am going to be seeing you in Birmingham on May 2, it'll be right after all my finals, so me and my friends are really gonna party :) I can hardly wait, and its not just because schools out for the summer :) Love you guys!! See you soon!

Cara - Thu Apr 19 23:01:11 EDT 2001

As much as I love the CD, you are incredible live performers. Caught your show at the Mystic and
had a great time. Man...you rock on stage.
Amazing musicians...amazing songs. Can't believe
the number of instruments that you play. Hope everyone gets a chance to catch you in concert.

Joel - Thu Apr 19 22:46:40 EDT 2001

Jimmy, Rob and Pat are married. Scott and Charlie are not. At least this is the case as of a month ago. Though a lot can happen in a month in the life of a rock star on break from tour.

- Thu Apr 19 22:45:58 EDT 2001

Hey. i don't know if you guys know anything about this or not, but i heard something about train touring with matchbox twenty in august and september. is this true? also, i love drops of jupiter, it is wonderful!!

beth - Thu Apr 19 22:16:57 EDT 2001

Your thoughts Just wanted to drop a line and say
hey, super record guys, good vibes all the way
through, guess that's why Pat gets the credits,
Jimmy thanx for that favor a while back, and to
show my appreciation I'll be seeing "yous guys"
sun the 22 in spacetown (NORTH) and I'm a gonna make the road trip for the lazonarosa show next

jessup - Thu Apr 19 21:39:56 EDT 2001

The show at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma last night was great. Was kinda irritated 'cause we got in line (close to the front) at 6 P.M. and
doors didn't open at 7 P.M. as they were supposed to...so we waited in the chilly weather until
a little after 8 P.M. when we finally could get
inside. Wound up with seats in front row but
moved upstairs later on when it became too jammed
down by the stage. The show was great. Thought it might be more "bare bones" but the lighting..sound system..everything was good.
Don't know how far back the band could see, but people were rocking up in the balcony. Was very
happy you did "Drops of Jupiter" twice...especially again at the end. Everyone left the show totally satisfied, even though we
would love to listen to your music all night long.
Have good seats for the May 26 Warfield show...and
can hardly wait. Talked to a lot of Train fans in
line before getting in and it sounds like a lot are following you wherever you travel. Let me say too....TRAIN FANS ARE THE BEST TOO!!
Catch up with you at the Warfield.
You guys ROCK!!

Your name - Thu Apr 19 20:23:47 EDT 2001

hey guys, i was getting into one of the songs on the new disc(unbelievably perfectly shaking, btw)and was trying to understand some lyrics better and it made me wonder if the guys were married -does anyone know? its bothering me and i need to know-email me if you can help

Lola - Thu Apr 19 20:12:03 EDT 2001

I saw you on Rosie the other day and you sounded outstanding! Would love to see you live. I noticed there aren't any St. Louis dates on your tour...hopefully that will change. Hope you have much success :)

Marina Allen - Thu Apr 19 20:04:58 EDT 2001

Okay, one of my best friends has screwed up my Train viewing schedule pretty severely. I've seen Train three times now (every time they've been within a state of me), SC, NC, and GA. I'm begging you guys to come back to Atlanta or make a stop in Athens somewhere at the tail end of the tour. I'm missing the show at Music Midtown cause my friend is graduating from college that day and she says a Train show isn't a good excuse to skip. Can you help me out?

Erik - Thu Apr 19 19:51:03 EDT 2001

I dont get you at all. What the hell are you playing at? Weirdo!

magnolia - Thu Apr 19 19:03:08 EDT 2001

I can't wait to see the band again Saturday in San Diego. After buyig their 1st CD last year, I had to see them in concert! I absolutely fell in love with the band. I bought "One and a Half" after last year's concert and I have recently purchased 3 copies of "DOJ", one for each vehicle and one for the house. I honestly have to say that Train is the best band out there right now. It's general seating Saturday, wish me luck on a good seat, we'll be there early!

Hollie - Thu Apr 19 18:28:44 EDT 2001

Hi! I'm a new fan who was absolutely floored by Drops of Jupiter. I am looking forward to any new singles and to tour dates in and around Toronto, Canada. All the best for the future! v.

HI I just wanted to say I am choreograhing a dance for an up coming show of mine (freelance dancer) and this morning as I was getting ready to leave Drops of Jupiter started playing and I just broke out with some cool moves and had it all down by songs end My 3 year old daughter (already in dance ) started flying with me and at the end she clapped it was so awesome If I get of the show I will send it to the guys if they want! PS any costume suggesstions would be cool It will be barefoot btw but something to go with the flow of the song........

Kellee - Thu Apr 19 17:54:56 EDT 2001

Train obviously reads these because at the petaluma show Pat mentioned my earlier message on the last minute cancellation and the extra ticket for the "preferably cute girl" Thanks for the plug we all got a lot of laughs out of it. Theresa from Santa Rosa ended up with the ticket and I am thankful for all the beer her and her friends bought me. I saw Train at the Fillmore a couple of years ago and also met Pat in a buffet line at Ceasars in Tahoe when they were opening for Bighead Todd, he was just as personable then as he is on stage, anyways great band and incredible show in Petaluma . By the way Pat, we were in the front and you high fived my sister, I don't think she's washed her hand yet.

Looking forward to the show at HOB tonight. Couple of thoughts on songs you should put into the set list. From your old stuff: Flatfoot (when are you going to record this song!) and I Can't Wait. If you are looking for new covers, how about Who Are You and Rocky Mountain Way? later

Dear Devoted Toronto Train Fan,

I think they're pretty good too. And you know what I bought tickets too and I think you sound pretty cool if you like this band already. Message me back and we'll talk from there if we haven't done so already.

Look forward to seeing you at the concert and well... thanks for putting up the message.

Yours sincerely an interested and curious fan of Train.

I would just like to say that Train is the greatese music group of all time. All of their songs are great, especially Drops of Jupiter, it is just so poetic. All of the other songs on their new album are also awesom. Congratulations for providing the world with some music worth listening to! -Matthew

Matthew - Thu Apr 19 16:56:48 EDT 2001

After seeing/hearing you in the Alice radio studio this week, and then not being able to get into the Petaluma show, I'm doubly baited for being at the next local SF gig.
Hang in there Scot, love'll come around and bite you in your ass when you least expect it - oh, but wait - you mentioned you don't have one. I can't say I noticed. I was too busy looking in your eyes.
I will say "nice biceps!" though : ) Dropped you a note in the mail today. Guess you're not gonna get it while you're on the road. It'll be there in Oakland when you get back.
Hoping to see you again at the Warfield.
Don't take no wooden nickles.

Okay so I have lost my mind I am 30 with kids (look twenty ) am respectable and am no groupy
But I suddenly see Pat as my soul mate ,the eyes, the scar (how sexy and mysterious), The way he moves .....
Please marry me.....oh yeah i keep forgetting about my husband.......marry me anyway!

I happen to love let it roll

Does anyone love "Let it Roll" as much as I do??? I go back and forth btx DOJ and Let it Roll...

If you are going to the upcoming train shows make sure you get there early and catch Bob Schneider. He is so unreal, and his album Lonelyland is one of the best albums of the year so far! If you like Train, you will love Bob... Trust me!

Paul D - Thu Apr 19 14:49:26 EDT 2001

i think that you guys are a really good band. My sister cousin and myself cant stop playing your song Drops of jupiter!!! i just wanted to let you know! bye

I forgot to mention that Bob Schneider was also amazing last night. I pretty sure he made some new friends / fans at the show. Great opener Train!

Billboard 200 - Thu Apr 19 14:26:16 EDT 2001

Hey Train...
Lets see...goregous men singing & playing instruments that they hold so nicely and play so sweetly, dancing and grooving with Pat, and hearing Juipter twice what more could a girl ask for...
Thanks guys, you were awesome. Sonoma county loves you.
peace,

enid - Thu Apr 19 14:18:12 EDT 2001

Just had to share how awesome last nights show at the Mystic in Petaluma was. It/they totally rocked! Heard Drops twice which was unique... but rather cool. The crowd was awesome and the band sounded tight and ready for the road. Thanks for a great evening. Oh and Bob Schneider was a great opener. Keep an eye out for this guy as he's definitely going to catch on. :)
All Good Things,

Hey all,

I got the self titled CD about five months ago on a lark. I liked "Meet Virginia" and had one of those record clubs telling me I had to buy three more disks or pay for them anyway, so I picked that one. It hasn't come out of my CD player at work since. (Ok, maybe I exaggerate, but I do listen to it all the time.)
Now I'm psyched to go out and get the new disk. I saw the video for Drops of Jupiter the other day, and I love love love that song.
Now I find out one of the guys is from Erie, PA -- forty minutes from my hometown, where we hicks from the sticks of south western New York (j/k -- I'm a WNY girl at heart and always will be) go for big shopping trips! That makes it all the more exciting -- to know that something so wonderful can come from something I know. Its a good feeling.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi to everyone and tell the band how much I appreciate what they do and what they have to say. You guys are the best. I had just about given up on good rock music -- I had switched my dial to the country station to get away from N'stink, Crackstreet Boys, Britney Boobjobs and Christina Hoochilera, but a very small group of bands are restoring my faith but this band has restored my faith. Thank you!

Hey Guys,
I met you at WPLJ in NY, I was part of the "Train gang". We had a great time & you made some fans for life! So when are you going to do a concert in the NJ/NY area? My Letterman tape will only last so long, I need to see you live . I really like "I'm on fire" is it going to be released as a radio single soon?

Renee - Thu Apr 19 12:00:03 EDT 2001

Thanks for the great show last nite. Charlie, you are soooo fun to watch. Love your playing. The band sounded great, keep up the great work but stay real!

One suggestion, lose the light at center stage directed at the audience in the first song. It's pretty obtrusive and takes away from the good grooves.

Love you guys, peace

Jennifer - Thu Apr 19 11:59:39 EDT 2001

hack hack,wow that was harsh!! turn the old internal drive to random once in a while, you might find the change refreshing. on the other hand,i dont know that i would ever grow tired of hearing "meet virginia" live and there are so many people who never made it to the limited venues of the past that would be sooooo bummed not to hear it, but to each his own. after seeing and hearing the "train" tour for 3 years im ready for the new. like the world around us we are changing. i find it fulfilling to hear the growth train has gone through during that time and like yourself patiently await the next album. but in the MEAN time im going to...let it roll.

First time train fan a little late but here nonetheless. Great show last nite at the Mystic. I felt like I was watching the new INXS. Sound was good for that venue. Tried to hang around after to talk to Pat but he was busy. I'm from Erie also, actually fairview and am really tickled to see someone succeed in music from there besides Ish Kabibble. Just kidding. Good luck and see you at the Warfield. Al and Nancy

Bree - Thu Apr 19 09:43:47 EDT 2001

The first time I heard the song, "Drops of Jupiter", I loved it so much that I ran right out and purchased the CD. I was wondering who the lead singer is and what the song is about. My friend thinks it's about a relationship in which the female either kills herself of goes out of her mind. I simply felt that the symbolism in the lyrics was referring to someone who perhaps moved out to California to try and find fame and fortune but was disappointed in it all and returned home just a little bit different from her experience. If you could clue me in on the meaning, I would really appreciate it. We have a small bet riding on this one.

P.S. I love the CD. You guys are great. Keep 'em coming.

Thanks!

Hey Guys. Since you're skipping St. louis this time around, i'm coming up to Chicago to see the new show. As a suggestion to the post in the Road Notes, Pat, with your background doing Zep songs, a couple good ones to do would be Kashmir and I believe the title is Ice And Snow. And no offense to you or everyone else that likes this song, but it might be time to retire Ramble On for a while. Just 1 fans opinion.

Take it easy.

shane, from St. Louis

I just got back from the Petaluma gig. This is the first time I have seen Train in concert. I had no idea Pat shakes his bon bon so much.

It sounded AMAZING. The harmonies were so good. I should have thanked the sound guys who I was sitting behind, but forgot.

Someone left a backstage pass, so I stole it. Well shoot. I didn't have ticket stub and I needed a memoir!

SEE YOU AT THE WARFIELD.

Theresa D. - Thu Apr 19 04:07:36 EDT 2001

Just got back from the Petaluma show. Man did they blow us away (or did we blow them away?) Pat, Jimmy, Rob, Charlie, and Scot were just too awesome. It's my second time seeing them live and they get better each time.

I think standing front and center on the stage helped out this one. It's tooo cool to see them that close. It's almost like they are "real People". LOL

I won't post the set list, just to keep everyone guessing, but I will be comparing it to the set they play at the Warfield at the end of May. (Yes I got a copy of the set list that they had on stage.) Slapped hands with Pat and Charlie, and one of Jimmy's solos was directly in front of me.

Keep it up guys, my nephew and I will be going to every show we can. (This one was for his birthday, it was the best present I could think to get him.)

Hey, guys! I don't usually post to band sites very often, but wanted to find out more about you after buying the new CD.

The other day, I heard "Drops Of Jupiter" on one of the Internet radio stations and couldn't figure out who it was. I finally picked out Pat's voice after hearing "Virgina" came on shortly after "Drops". (You know...where you think, "Hey, wait a minute...THAT'S IT!!!)

After listening to "Jupiter" again, the lyrics just slapped me. The song makes me think of a great friend I lost several years ago. She always used to talk about needing to "get away" from me by hiding out in some "space" she was able to call her own. (Needless to say, it's as if you read her mind :) .) I don't feel such strong, mixed emotions very often. But, wow...you got me.

So, thank you so much for a great memory, a great song, and for not being afraid to put yourself in front of us in song. I believe it will pay off big time for you.

Good luck!!

By the way, Im sure Chris Robinson/Black Crowe's is eating his heart out that this isnt his song. This song would have been a phenominal career come back for him. But I am glad to see the real singer of this song isnt a strung-out looking hag like Chris. Pat, I caught your performance on Rosie. You are one "cutie-patootie". And WHAT A VOICE.

I know I've never posted to this board before, but I was just sifting through its contents like I do every now and again when I noticed some responses from some Daniel guy...well, Daniel, I know we train fans seem to be simple-minded and uneducated to you, but I believe that is not the case. Who made you the god of good music anyway? It would surpirse me if you could play a radio, let alone an instrument. Personally, speaking from the standpoint of the "uneducated fan" I am currently close to completing my college education with a degree in Computer Science minoring in Mass Communications and Business Administration. As far as music is concerned, I am a member of three bands (playing three different instruments) including The Marching Southerners of Jacksonville State University. I currently play a total of nine instruments quite well, and I'm still learning. Furthermore, my "simple-minded" self loves the music of Train and believes that they are one of the best bands out there today. It's a shame that you have nothing better to do with your "perfect" life than to harass a disscussion board for a band with "uneducated" fans....really sad, danny boy...really sad...

What a CD! What a song! Heard it on the radio but could never find out the title of the song or the name of the band. Finally checked out the radio stations website where they list the top 20... figured it out from there! Glad I did. After listening to a few test tracks, I ran out and bought the CD. Haven't stopped listening to it ever since. My husband and I are big Del Amitri fans (and Blue Rodeo fans) and Train reminds us a bit of each. Overall, just great! Hope some closer concert dates are down the road... Is there is a Montreal-bound Train coming our way?

Lori Doré - Wed Apr 18 20:44:42 EDT 2001

I have been a fan of Train ever since they came out with Meet Virginia. Both Meet Virginia and Drops over Jupiter make the hair on my arms stand up. Every song on both cd's are put together so well. Train is going to be around for a long time. Lets get them on TRL, vote those boy bands off and get Drops over Jupiter on! Rock on Train!

Hey, you guys should check out this band, cause I think you might like 'em. They are a chicago band called Blue*Nova (http://www.bluenova.org/). From what ive heard off their next album is really awesome.

Allen - Wed Apr 18 20:10:43 EDT 2001

I was driving down the road and Train's song "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)" came on the radio. At first I thought it was a new Black Crowe's song. I must say that the song spoke to me in a way that made the hairs on my arms stand up. Thank you for that rare moment.

Deana - Wed Apr 18 20:10:39 EDT 2001

Train does an awesome version of Ramble On, and I think they should play it at the Indianapolis show (ahem ahem) because the vocals are the closest thing to Plant Ive ever heard (besides plant himself). Mississippi is one of my favorite songs on DOJ, and the album rocks, cant wait to see 'em.

Allen - Wed Apr 18 19:56:05 EDT 2001

Many thanks to Train for the awesome show they presented Tuesday night at the Expressions Media Center. I can say that this is the best concert that I have ever been to. You guys are out of this world, I still have goose bumps all over my body just thinking about last night. Thanks again for the pictures and autographs and a special thanks to Rob's daughter Erin for her autograph too, You are a very cute and cool girl. And lastly, Congratulations! To my favorite of them all (Sorry guys) Jimmy Stafford. CONGRATULATIONS to you and your wife on your new baby.

Thanks again. I love you guys!
See you at the Warfield on May 26th.

Pat..Are you coming to Vegas? Since leaving Erie to move here, I have been wondering if I will be able to see you guys again? P.S. Saw your new house in Fairview and it is sweet. Hope to see you guys soon and if you need a tour guide when your here, i'm your man!

Hi, everyone:
Wise says that it takes a certain personality profile to come in and "troll" up the message board,
and yes, that seems Wise....but I would go one further, and submit that it takes a certain personality
type, too, to respond to a troll.....
So, like AJ recommends, let's all try to IGNORE... period....not another word.....shhhh!
Wouldn't it be cool if we could all agree to completely starve (through ignoring) a troll?
Yours in cooperation and spirit,
Gueneviere

Gueneviere - Wed Apr 18 18:22:17 EDT 2001

the definition of "ignore" is to refuse to pay attention to; disregard.

AJ - Wed Apr 18 17:57:25 EDT 2001

I must say you guys are really on a roll these days. Keep it up. I just purchased the new CD yesterday and it's absolutely fabulous. Big fan.

I now live in the East Bay area across from San Francisco and it was good to hear you guys on live radio yesterday on Alice (the radio station). You guys rock. I love your style of music and enjoy listening all the time. I have seen you guys three times and have loved each and every time. I hope to see you guys at the Warfield in May. Until then, take care and have a fun and safe tour. You keep playin', I'll keep buyin' and listenin'.

AJ - Wed Apr 18 17:52:17 EDT 2001

I was so disappointed that I had to miss Train at SXSW - my friends said the show was great. Now I see that I'll be moving back to Denver a WEEK after Train plays there - unbelievably bad timing. And it drove the stake even deeper when I saw that Bob Schneider would be opening! I've heard great things about him. Any chance of another Colorado show this summer sometime?

Jennifer - Wed Apr 18 17:36:50 EDT 2001

While my fellings about this band are somewhat mixed (I liked some songs, others not so much, others not at all) I certainly believe that all music has a place and an audience. If it wasn't that way, then we all be listening to the same music all the time, and that would be very very...pathetic.

Daniel, my friend, after reading your post I will tell you this:

A - I know most people in this board probably DO NOT go to website's of bands they hate and start up typing insults and down right nasty messages. And I am sure most people here are a mix of teens, college and adult listeners, so age is not so much an issue as it is intellect and simple common sense. You , for whatever reason, seem to lack both of them.

B- I have been in the net long before it was even known...And for what I can gather, you fit the profile of a "troll" very well. A troll is what is usually known in the net slang as a troublemaker, a person who starts up shit for the hell of it...I have read many articles about some studies done at NYU and Standford and the one thing that both came up with is the same: "trolls" have issues, personal issues of many types and colors. Trolls find their way to message boards and newsgroups as a need to "drug" their inner pain with the doses of "fake" self-steem and euphoria that such behavior produces. You are as tranparent as air from where I stand.

So , with that said, go to your nearest mirror, take a look at yourself, and with a very subtle tone of voice and without any anger say this to yourself: "What the hell am I doing?"

I am sure the answer will surprise you.

To the band: Good luck with your tour and keep at it. I am sure by now you know who your fans are. And there are many out there for what I see. That is a great thing for you. Be good to them and they will be good to you.

Hi fellow train fans(not including that guy). I'm new at this message stuff. Saw train at the pa.Hard Rock Wmmr show , was the best. What made it the best was the pick given to me for my collection,it has gone next to dan and daves of the counting crows... If it wasn't for them I would not know train. also say them at the TLA,GREAT SHOW.Already have my tickets for the electric factory show in May can't wait...

Debbie May - Wed Apr 18 16:49:41 EDT 2001

I think that train is the greatest band in this Universe! No matter what crazy, jealous, person tries to cut you guys down, you will ALLWAYS be my favorite band ever!!!!!

It's not Train's fault everything didn't work out the way you had planned. They ARE a great band, even to those who only listen to Miles Davis.

Fred Savage - Wed Apr 18 15:45:47 EDT 2001

You know, I really love every song on "Drops" especially the title song, But I really think "Respect" will be the second hit off the CD, I really love it! Oh and Pat, where did you get that awsome accent from? My husband is from PA and sounds NOTHING like you (especially the hey hey part-oh how sexy!)

Lisa - Wed Apr 18 14:30:08 EDT 2001

First of all, i have to say, i love you guys. your music is very inspirational to me, and there's rarely a moment when one, if not both of your cd's aren't in my cd player.
That being said, i know the band tours very heavily, and visits as many cities as possible. however, i was wondering how often the band members actually get to come back to their hometowns, where they grew up. i'm not sure how old pat was, or how long he lived there, but i know when he was younger he lived in Erie, Pennsylvania. you guys have ALOT of fans around here who would absolutely love to see you live. are you making any plans to visit erie or any surrounding cities?? we'd all love to see you come home pat!
Rock on Train

You guys are the bomb. I bought the new CD the other day and I can't stop listening to it.
Good luck on your tour

love the album, love what you guys have been doing. Pat, great to see someone finally made it out of Erie. Hope a show comes by NYC so I can go. Getting all my friends on to Train. Band sounded great the other day on Rosie!
take care,

Amy - Wed Apr 18 13:34:53 EDT 2001

I'm in love w/ you Patrick (and the whole band too)! jk, I don't even know you, but I totally dig your music and didn't realize how amazing it was until some friends of mine made me go see you guys live during summer and now I'm obsessed w/ your new album. It's just fun and quirky and gets under your skin until you find yourself crazy w/ it's rythym and words. It has a great positive outlook and really is stellar stuff...So thanx, and stay together, puhleeze.

See you guys on May 13th! Can't wait!

Train Fan - Wed Apr 18 12:17:01 EDT 2001

This due to circumstances beyond my controll lol, was the first time I have ever heard you interviewed or singing off your album. There seems to be an outside force causing me to miss every freaking appearence! Anyway you guys sound incredible off your album, something not alot of bands can claim. And your all funny to boot! Just so you know I think it was wise to rethink the title "Pat" lol. Anyway just thought I'd share lol. And to Daniel the moran on this bored, Get A Life! Your obviously in need of one seeing as you spend your whole day posting at a bands websight you hate. Whats really the matter? Brittney
Spears relationship with that nsync boy break your heart?

hey guys!
i watched you guys on freshly pressed on much more music and i thought you were great. you said you checked your message board almost daily so i thought i would give my opinion. i think your album'drops of jupiter" is absolutely amazing. i loved your last album but this one if my favorite by far.you guys are also amazing live, i watched you on a late show. awsome work and i am looking forward to seeing a full show soon, come to halifax!

Penny Lane - Wed Apr 18 11:47:22 EDT 2001

Hey Train!!My name is Sabrina from SF, CAl. I just wanted to say that I am really enjoying your new single ' Drops of Jupitar'. Everytime I listen to the radio and I hear that song, I turn up my stereo very loud, even louder when my parents aren't even home. I hope to get your new album really soon. You guys will be playing in SF@ the Warfield in May 26th, but I won't be there because it turns out that day I'll be in the Santa Cruz BLues Festival. I bought tickets weeks before I knew about your show. But when you come back to the Bay Area next time, I'll definately see you guys. Any ways best of luck ( well you guys already have it, but wish you more luck) -Sabrina

Sabrina - Wed Apr 18 11:45:32 EDT 2001

Guess what! Yesterday morning, I watched VH1 - and there was "Meet Virginia" ... and guess what happened then! They also played Drops ... I sat on the sofa, singing along, a smile so big, it went around my head ... If anyone had watched me, they'd thought I went insane (and finally showed it).
For the last week, I think I've seen drops everyday on VH1 - that either means, I'm watching too much of that station ... or TRAIN actually get played quite frequently ...
Yet, when I told some people at school about TRAIN ... the common response was: "Who?" "TRAIN" "Is that a band?" "Aha ..." "What was their name again?" "T-R-A-I-N!" "TRAIN? Like train?" "Yeah, just like that." "And they are a band?"

Is it just me who sees them all the time? Am I watching too much TV?
Is it just me who enjoys this music?

Anyway, everyday I get more excited about Saturday. Take care y'all ... and keep on rocking ....

Katja - Wed Apr 18 11:39:38 EDT 2001

Purchased Drops of Jupiter last night. After listening, I am compelled to say that this album is lyrically smooth and very well produced. After falling in love with Train's first album last year, I was excited that to hear "jupiter" continue to reveal the fine musicianship, and poetic musings of a great band. Noticed you'll be in Nashville in a few weeks. I'm excited to hear you live for the first time. Thanks for sharing your music with me. It's worthy of my attention.

Denise - Wed Apr 18 11:29:15 EDT 2001

Hey guys! I've never missed a show of yours in Chicago, so I can't wait to see you at the Riviera on May 16th. I'm bringing some first-timers, so make it a good one! And Pat, will you please wink at me? Enjoy your tour and see you soon! Love, Amy

Amy - Wed Apr 18 10:55:01 EDT 2001

Hey guys,

What's up????? NMH. I just wanted to let the guys of Train..or anyone else who wants to know.... that "Drops of Jupiter" is an awesome song! Everytime I hear it... I get chills you guys. It has an awesome beat and I just love it. Well guys I guess I'm out, and just wanna let ya know.. Train your doin an awesome job and I wish you guys all the luck!!!! Peace, love, and stuff Ü

Hey Danny, please Oh wise one inform us (the unwashed masses) on what YOU listen to these days. It is too simplistic to fire off a message like you just did and not clue us all in to what is good out there today. I pray it is not some post industrial neo Depeche Mode stuff or country or whatever. My main question is if you hate this band SO much why are you spending your time posting messages on their site. Rather silly Danny is it not? Better yet why don't you go and write songs (well first you better spend about 10 years or so learning an instrument) and then get a record deal and so on and so forth... so then we can all delight in your passion and artistic creations!! But what is this... your Walmart manager just busted you on the internet posting notes on the train message board! Well looks like you just lost out for stock boy of the month. Hey Danny maybe next month. Take care.

Lisa - Wed Apr 18 09:12:35 EDT 2001

mr driscoll: train is singularly the worst band on the face of this planet. they are without any
artistic merit whatsoever. the lyrics are childish, the songs are mundane, the vocals
are insulting to all breathing, rationale creatures. no true person of thought and depth
could possibly enjoy the warmed over partridge familyesque snot this band calls music. they
define banality. and that just barely scratches
the surface of my contempt for this band, the cow
dung it creates, and the morons who enjoy this
crap. but i will stop, for now, to respond to
you, paul, personally.
i will say anything i want,
and in any manner i choose.
please note this is not a train fansite.
it is a website, certainly the band
realizes not everyone will relate, yet
the message board remains open to all,
to express whatever they feel.
therefore, i express.
at length.
however i want, and without regard to your
imaginary 'rules of posting'.
and you sir, can do nothing, will do
nothing.
because, like the rest of the
girly pack so attached to this
silly bands' music,
you are without soul,
without spine.

lkc - Tue Apr 17 21:21:59 EDT 2001

I just wanted to tell you what a huge fan of your music i am. I only recently heard about you. I saw your video for Drops of Jupiter on VH1 the day it premiered. I have never heard a song just one time and gotten so excited about it. That's what happened though. Right after i heard it..I got on my computer to see if anyone on napster had it. Luckily they did. I listened to it non-stop for a week. Then I heard that y'all were the same band that did Meet Virginia. I remembered liking that song too. Anyway..I know you probably hate hearing people getting your stuff from napster..but it was only until the cd came out. Then I went and bought it. I also got the self-titled cd. So in retrospect..one video just sold two cd's, and made a fan for life. I live in Augusta,Georgia..so there is no way y'all would ever play here..but I found out that y'all will be in Atlanta in May. I also saw that y'all will be in Charleston the day after that. I hope to catch you in one of those places. I am also planning a trip to San Fransisco at the end of May and saw that y'all will be there at the same time I will. So without a doubt I will see you at the Warfield. I just feel very blessed that your music came into my life. Sounds cheesy I know..but y'all are awesome. I absolutely love the song Hopeless. Whipping Boy is great, too. But by far my favorite has to be Drops of Jupiter. It just amazes me that y'all came up with those lyrics. It's so original and upbeat..and with all the crap they play nowadays it is refreshing. Anyway..I didn't mean to ramble on for so long..just know that I think you are great and I look forward to hearing alot more from you in the years to come. Keep up the great work guys..and see y'all at the show.

Jennifer McDougall - Tue Apr 17 20:42:45 EDT 2001

It's been a while since a artist or band has caught my attention like Train... I can't believe it seemed I was the first to hear about them when I heard "Drops of Jupiter" and told two people I know that I love the song and they told me that they already knew about the band. One even saw them. I felt like I had been in the dark, I mean, is it just me or have I been living under a rock all this time?

When I heard "Meet Virginia" that was it for me. I mean, I was hooked again. I felt it becoming my favourite at one point - eclipsing "Drops of Jupiter". :) *Great* lyrics guys, kudos to you! You're brilliant! Best I've heard in a *very* long time. :) And I'm glad your here.

Well I guess I'm also here to say that I'd like to go to the Toronto concert with someone who's as much of a die hard fan of Train as I am (or as die-hard as I can claim to be thus far).

Message me and let me know. I want to buy them soon before they sell out! (I'll be very disappointed if they do before I get to them!)

Devoted Fan

Your thoughts Hi from Edmonton Alberta Canada, I just wanted to say that the new album is really good. I love that southern gospel soul influence. I love how you guys use alot of instaments to create rock songs. The piano is great. Please consider coming to Edmonton to play some shows.

Matthew Oosterhuis - Tue Apr 17 17:38:07 EDT 2001

Just wanted to say HI to Scott Underwood and the rest of TRAIN. I'm an acquaintance of Scott's mom and she keeps us all up to date about TV appearances and such. We're all fans of the band and we think it's great that Scott's mom is so proud of her son and his bandmates.

Can't wait to see the show May 12th in Clifton Park, New York. Scott- be assured many local fans will be there! We love the new album!

Kathy - Tue Apr 17 17:09:54 EDT 2001

The first time that I heard this song, I'd only heard a little bit of it and thought that it sounded like Chris Robinson, of The Black Crowes.

I couldn't find the song though and kept looking.

The song really hooked me. Believe it, or not, I "got a message" in the ether last night, while I was watching a NHL playoff game. The message said turn to "MuchMusic". I did.....and guess what was playing......the last half of Drops of Jupiter. That was the end of the program......and they didn't say who it was.

It didn't come back into my mind today until now. I've never been on the "Much" site before, but I decided to surf and lo and behold....I found the name, band and got to hear this fabulous tune. Fantastic stuff......I'm on my way out the door to buy it!! I hope that you're in Toronto, or Pittsburgh this tour.(Just for ur demographics....I'm a 45 yr.old middle class white dude who's really digging this stuff)

Christopher - Tue Apr 17 16:26:39 EDT 2001

I see a Charlotte, NC tour date, but aren't you guys coming to Raleigh, NC soon? Now I know you haven't outgrown us, not yet! No 8a-5p professional from Raleigh can go to a Monday night Charlotte show and make it to work the next day! (But, needless to say I've got a group who is going to try and make it :-) Anyway, I am a devoted fan, personally responsible for your album sales (both new and old). A friend first turned me on to you in the early 'Free' days by giving me her cd and buying a new one. Since then, I have carried on that tradition. I have compiled quite a large Train following here in NC! First saw the band at a Greensboro, NC show, then met the guys at an acoustic performance at Wherehouse records prior to a performance at the Brewery here in Raleigh (although this was a couple of years ago, thanks to Jimmy for putting me and a friend on the guest list). Hey, I even went to Davidson College to hang with the teeny boppers and watch you perform there (it was painful, I know, but I guess the rich kids could afford you). Ok, I won't torment you by recounting all of the shows I've seen, but the new album is out and I want you to come to Raleigh soon! Please say you'll try. You have a huge fan base here - thanks in part to me :-) Hey Jimmy - can I get on the guest list again when you make it here?

I really like your Drops of Jupiter album. I heard Drops of Jupiter on the radio hear in Minneapolis before the album came out. I hope to see you tour the midwest so I can catch a live show. Thanks for the great music.

Sarah - Tue Apr 17 15:24:39 EDT 2001

Train MUST come and play in Orlando! I must see this band perform live!

Lyncher - Tue Apr 17 15:16:28 EDT 2001

I'm soo excited, going to see Train tomorrow in Petaluma, and also at the end of May at the Warfield show. So I get to see the begining and the end of the tour.

The new CD is great, and they just keep improving. I hope they keep having fun and putting out music like this for years.

This style of music was long over due. It's a cross between Black Crows and Blind Melon. Sounds groovie! The 1st 4 tracs are amazing mellow groove. Keep'em coming!!!!!!!!

Freddy Trevino - Tue Apr 17 14:28:26 EDT 2001

To those of you who live in the Bay Area, Train will be on Alice (97.3) at 1pm live w/ Gretchen!
whooo hoo!

Bay Area Fan - Tue Apr 17 14:14:27 EDT 2001

I was really suprised to hear that this mystry song that was being played on my local radio station was train. It's almost a new sound for them however when the announcer said it was train it did make sense...much better then meet virginia, there ability to write has really grown.

nici - Tue Apr 17 13:46:06 EDT 2001

Ah, who cares about Daniel? He is entitled to his opinion which we all know is whacked.
I love Train and *hopeless* is amazing. I cannot get sick of it.

Cindy - Tue Apr 17 13:23:50 EDT 2001

I am 37 years old and I remain, and hopefully always will, totally open to all new music and musicians. I think it's sad to get stuck into one period of music. One misses out on so many new, wonderful singers and groups. My sister turned me onto Train with their first album and when DOP came out, I was so excited. I had to get the CD right away. I think what happened on Dave Letterman says alot. Letterman was so impressed with them and the song, DOP, with the string section, that he went on and on about it for days after on his shows and then they decided, for one night, to add a string section to their band. That says alot, I think.

As far as people who come here and ridicule Train, can I offer some advice? I go to and read other message boards on other groups, actors, and so on that I enjoy and admire. And on them, there are ALWAYS people who come and trash the person, group, etc., the MB is for. Why? I don't know. But, I found the most effective way to deal with these people, just like with bullies and people like this is real life, is to just ignore them entirely. Don't even respond to their posts. Make like the post in non-existent. I know you want to state a comeback and stick up for Train. That's what they want. They want a rise out of you. By responding to their posts, you're doing what they want you to. We've ignored posts like this before on other boards and they get tired eventually and leave.

People have all different tastes and that's wonderful. Some have diverse tastes, like me, and others are more limited. It's all good. However, it's not good to force your beliefs and likes/dislikes onto others.

This is just MHO, but I've seen it work. So, my advice is 'IGNORE'. Just bite the bullet when you get the urge to whip off a post to the offender.

Meanwhile, enjoy Train and they're wonderful contribution to this world. Music is such a gift to us. :-)

Much Maitri to all. Namaste!

Sangye Dolma - Tue Apr 17 13:21:41 EDT 2001

wow ive looked at all these messages and mine seems so insignificant but ill write it anyways...both of your cds rock. i even had to buy the first on twice because i worn the first out so bad it wouldnt play. the second one i brought i absolutely love too and i cant wait till you guys release another one!!

Maria - Tue Apr 17 12:52:56 EDT 2001

Pat - everybody from your hometown is very excited
about your band. We love seeing you on your television spots. It is very cool to know you,
especially being musicians. Is it ok if we live
vicariously through you for a while? The CD is very good. She's On Fire, Let It Roll, and Something More are the favorites here. Something More could be a good next single. It has a combination Beatles and Electric Light Orchestra
feel. The strings, like in Drops of Jupiter, really give the song a high-class sound. Best wishes in your continued success. By the way, thanks for dinner. You're a great chef. If you can, write us back. It would really be cool hearing from you.

Chris and Julie - Tue Apr 17 12:23:04 EDT 2001

I just read in the YahooChat transcript with Pat that their favorite place to play is Deer Creek in Indianapolis...I just thought that was awesome, since I have seen them there before opening for Hootie and the Blowfish. I would love to see a headlining tour at Deer Creek next summer!! :)

Natalie - Tue Apr 17 12:22:59 EDT 2001

Hi, Trainliners:
Because I use my pc at work, I am never able to "hear" any of the audio components of this or any other site.
Could someone please tell me what Pat is saying in the audio message posted under the News pulldown?
Thanks a bunch,
Gueneviere

Gueneviere - Tue Apr 17 11:57:36 EDT 2001

Hey guys,

Just got the the cd friday April 13th, and I think it may be worn out by now...not sure...

It't fantastic.....love the many different sounds and styles....

I never get bored of it....my question to you is how come Montreal seems to be forgotten in

your tour dates, I noticed Toronto and Vancouver, and was hoping to be able to see your concert here, but unfortunately I was a little disappointed.Hope that next time you'll come around Montreal, I know you have alot of fans here who would like to see you perform.

Sincerely, a new fan from Montreal

A question for Christine from Toronto
get Amanda marshall to come down to the Paradise in Boston. I've only seen her briefly when she was opening for John Mellencamp at the tweeter center and she did a small freebee at the alley cat. I'd love to see her.... if she needs an opening act, a perfect match would be Beth Hart.

Hey Jim - nice lawn! Thought I would check the web site and try to find out where you guys will be in June. Unfortunately, it is not posted yet. My friends and I will be in Europe June 1st through the 20th, and I was hoping to catch a show or two. I will keep checking.

Leanne - Tue Apr 17 10:19:06 EDT 2001

Daniel,
You are obviously just mad at your dad. Go listen to your Marilyn Manson music and paint your toenails. Nobody here likes you. I have a feeling that this may be a familiar situation for you........am I right?

Jason - Tue Apr 17 09:58:53 EDT 2001

I am just hoping the band does read these posts because I want them all to know how incredibly talented I think they are. You guys are one of the most intelligent sounding bands in quite a while. Also,...you really do rock! Anyway, I have been a fan since I first heard Meet Virginia. Ran out and bought the CD, loved it, and was ecstatic to hear the second one when it came out. Also loved it. I saw the tour dates a little too late though. I have had a lot going on in my life lately and have just found the time to breathe again, but alas the tour dates in my area are already sold out!! Please if you can, add a date in Southern VA, or Northern NC. Post it or let me know on the board or SOMETHING!! I would love to hear you guys live. PS --- I live near Roanoke, VA if that helps!! :-) Love you guys.

PSS - Saw the Virgin Suicides T-shirt on the site's home picture. Great movie!

seems like I'm seeing Train on tv every day....I love your music, especially Drops of Jupiter
what fabulous lyrics, great vocals, extremely tight band. Best wishes for much more
success for you guys...you deserve it!

Jeannie - Tue Apr 17 09:09:27 EDT 2001

I think train is a perfect name for a band that has obvious capabilities to mooooove people... all that I have heard... sounds great... you guys have awesome energy ... hurry up and come back to canada... (ontario)

Mair - Tue Apr 17 08:34:21 EDT 2001

Daniel, no-one necessarily wants you to make positive comment, merely informed comment. If you do ACTUALLY have an opinion on Train then express it, legitimately. Perhaps you merely wish to attempt (attempt being the operative word) to insult the people who DO have an opinion – most of them being positive - and the physical characteristics of the band? If you can comment on their ability as musicians or their popularity then, if you must, please do so. However do this ONLY if, you feel you can do better.

PS please let us know the track names of YOUR contribution to world music!

Paul Driscoll - Tue Apr 17 08:26:32 EDT 2001

I just wanted to say that i think you guys are really great and the new single is very good! I wish guys all the success in the world!

Ok, well where do I start. Coming all the way from Downunder (and yes I do mean Australia) I first heard Meet Virginia here on a CD single but then my sister who recently visited the states heard the band on the radio and thought I would like the music so she bought it home for me not knowing I had heard of the guys. now? IM IN LOVE, with the music of course. Drops of Jupiter being my fave song as well as Let it Roll. Cant choose just one though, Respect awesome. I guess I am just writing to let everyone know I love the music you guys, even if you cant get it in Australia.

I am going to be in the states (various parts) in August and September this year. REALLY REALLY wanna be kept posted on the Tour dates cause I would soooo love to see the guys live.

Ok I have rambled on enough.

Cheers,
Bec

Bec - Tue Apr 17 05:48:35 EDT 2001

i have nothing good to say
about this horifficly cheesy-bad
band today...so i'll be quiet...
wouldn't want to offend those
of you empty enough to be inspired
by such creampuff lyrics and 4cent
chords...god knows you are sad enough
as is. ....by the way, caught the crappy
video yesterday on VH1 (of course)...
me thinks the lead singer is smokin'
something...his eyes are Whacked...

TRAINGIRLnAZ --

I am SO there! I've had my tickets for that last week! I just heard about the breakfast show yesterday on the Zone, and I would LOVE to go! I have no idea how they're giving away that, but I almost called them up and begged (which I realized might have been a bit frightening. So I refrained). Are you going? Heavens, if you are, I might have to kill you....

'ropa - Tue Apr 17 02:57:00 EDT 2001

Hello there! My name is Faye Lynn and I am from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada and I have to say that I have been a big fan of yours for a long time. Recently, I saw the "Drops of Jupiter" vidoe and I was once again, completely blown away. Your songs, your lyrics, your overall style brings tears to my eyes. Your music is beautiful, filled with a sense of hope and thought. Thank you so much for touching my heart in such a unique way. , Keep it up and please, DO A CROSS- CANADIAN TOUR AND COME TO REGINA! Hope to hear from you soon! Thank you, Love Faye

Faye Wallenberg - Tue Apr 17 00:35:11 EDT 2001

sunkissed - Mon Apr 16 23:09:11 EDT 2001

I have to say, I've loved Train for a looooong time, and you keep getting better guys! As far as the fans go judging by your post you are some of the coolest people I have ever encountered in the world of fandom. With the exception of some of the "pat is hot post" due to post rosie show converts lol. Anyway, you all seem very devoted and interested in the music! I cant even stand Sheryl Crows sight their all so wrapped up in her personal life. So guys of Train, keep up the INCREDIBLE work! And to all my fellow Bay Area fans (and beyond) you rock!!

magnolia - Mon Apr 16 22:50:12 EDT 2001

I know Rockford,IL was a terrible gig for you guys- but please come back... or come to Chicago on a Saturday night. I can't take weekdays off of work and I can't afford to go anywhere outside of Illinois to see you.

I dunno if anyone reads this for any other reason other than to read their own posts, but here goes. I've been having a *fun* (note sarcasm) time in my life recently and whenever i get into a rut i always seem to find a song to sing along to (badly, i might add) to help pull me out, or keep me company untill i do so. Anyway, if you haven't guessed yet, Drops of Jupiter has done just that for me, I was wondering if any of you guys out there have interpertations about what the song means, if anything. I have my own notions (self serving as they might be). thanks a lot.

i got the bay area email too late too as far as in house radio station gigs go. I was sooo sad. But I am already going to see them in Petaluma and San Fran, but STILL!! I'm greedy!!

I think I need to be a little more grateful, huh? Finally A BAY AREA BAND I CAN GET EXCITED ABOUT.

Not JOURNEY or METALLICA or THIRD EYE BLIND.

TRAAAAAAIN....it's about time. They really fill a void around these parts.

Theresa D. - Mon Apr 16 21:06:57 EDT 2001

Hey Guys, just thought I would drop you a line saying congratulations! I saw you guys when you came to Toronto for Mix 99.9's free outdoor concert that headlined Amanda Marshall. I was surprised to see so much underground talent at that concert, and must admit I was there to hear Amanda, but was pleasantly surprised by your performance and See Spot Run's. I thought instantly that your bands would definitely make it and here you guys are after all this time on the top of the charts. Not such luck for See Spot Run which I definitely think are a great band as well, and will hopefully join you guys some day on those charts! After that concert I went out and got both of your bands cd's and really enjoy them. You guys did a great job at that concert and I enjoyed the fact that you kept it real and the atmosphere was fun. Your guys looked as though you really had a great time! Don't lose that live energy you showed as it really makes a concert enjoyable when the bands are down to earth and enjoy themselves on stage! Unfortunately your concert is sold out down here so I'll have to catch you the next time around. Please don't forget your fans in Toronto!
Good Luck on your tour, stay positive and keep it real!
Take Care
Christine:)

I'm going to share ... people on this site
are THE BEST!! Since I started visiting
the site, just a short 3 1/2 wks, I've
met & E-mailed the coolest people.
I stood in line at the Late, Late Show with "Queen of Rain" who is so adventurous
and fun. I've bonded with Ferlen who
is as Train-obsessed as I am (but "there's
a time we all deserve to lose our mind"!).
E-mailed Obi (so funny!) who has quite
the Train collection. And after the San
Diego performance, a couple of you that
I don't even know will be crashing in my
hotel room (since y'all are Train fans,
it's all good). Lastly, since it appears
that my HOB connections are not materializing,
I send a HUGE THANKS to Jill for the 1 very prized ticket to the show Thursday!!

Thanks for making my semi-dull, corporate
9-5 life more exciting. Y'all rock!!!!!!!!!

Train rocked on Rosie today! Pat, you are just adorable....You guys have such stage presence... As if seeing you on the show today wasn't enough, I was lucky enough to get a copy of the Apostles CD from your way early days! What a find... I love all of the songs and can definately see the seeds of Train planted in the music. Can't wait to see you guys on Friday at the breakfast show in Scottsdale!!!! Only 112 more hours to go....

TRAINGIRLnAZ - Mon Apr 16 19:48:33 EDT 2001

Hey~ I just wanted to say that I have been trying forever to get on the Rosie show and I finally was able to through the "stand by line"...I had never actually knew any train songs or anything till I arrived at the show and now I’m a HUGE fan!
They are outstanding. I can’t stop playing that CD that they gave out at the show, I practically have that hit song memorized! (I think the drummer is so hot! anyone else agree???)

Hey everybody I have to let you know that this past weekend on April 14 I saw Train live at Benaroya Hall here in Seattle and although I have not been to a lot of concerts this was the best I had ever seen Train sounds even better live if you can believe it. They did about 9 or 10 songs and there cover of Led Zeppelin's Ramble On just
had the whole house on its feet and we are talkin people from 12 to 50 years old. So if you have a chance to see them don't miss it.

Saw Train on Rosie. Very very awesome. Sad that they didn't get to do an interview. Weird because Rosie usually does them with guests.

Yes to Train touring with Vertical. They compliment each other's musical styles.

DANIEL- Dumb question--Is this is only message board that you post on about enlightening the masses to "better music"? Because well, it is rather STRANGE that you have posted here several (not once) times about how Train's music sucks and so forth. If you feel so strongly about it, why did you go through the trouble of finding the official site and even more to post here? You must be feeling rather bored.

Everyone else...Please ignore him. He's in dire need of attention. And if we give him what he wants, then he's going to keep coming back. So if we ignore him, he'll get tired of this, find another board to pester, and move on with his life.

magick - Mon Apr 16 18:45:47 EDT 2001

Go Paul and Dan! I have almost commented to Daniels' rantings on several occasions, but my replies would not have been so eloquent! Just two words to Daniel, Go Away!
Question for Dan, why not MBT? Although not as inovative as the bands you mention, I just saw MBT for the first time last week and they put on a great show. Although I haven't had the pleasure of seeing Train live yet, I think that it would be a great pairing. It would give Train an opportunity to be heard by a fan base that may not normally hear Train. I have to admit, I was surprised at the variety of people at MBT, everyone from teeny boppers, to metal heads to cowboys to Grandmas and Grandpas. I just think that it would be a tremendous opportunity for the guys.

melodies - Mon Apr 16 18:43:54 EDT 2001

Felt the emotion bleed threw your words. With absents of bliss-stolen kiss, Reminisce yet never miss the empty words that filled my heat. Where did I find this dreaming, where is it in me that I can hear the calming of the steam trickle down, cause its there that I can find you again & again. Painting something over my heart, throbbing... like the thrusting that is rushing over me. Whispered tears like screams of pain as if the murder of innocents was raped from me, bleeding still.

Nicole - Mon Apr 16 18:27:46 EDT 2001

Nordicson - Mon Apr 16 17:35:43 EDT 2001

Hey everybody! Just wanting to know what you think the song Drops of Jupiter is about. I think that is it about a girl that has broken up with her boyfriend to go find herself. and the boyfriend is asking her when she returns if she missed him and if she did did everything she wanted to and if it was really worth her leaving him. I dunno? It was just taking a stab at it. let me know what you all think.

Drops of Jupiter is greatly written and arranged. I was wondering is their anyway to obtain the violin, viola, and cello parts and who wrote the parts.

Train will always be one of my favorite bands...when my friend and I went to see them in London, Ontario they were so nice to us and took pics with us etc. They are not fake, as many bands tend to be. They sing what is real and what is on the minds of many people in this world. Congrats on the new cd, I hope you are making lots for it!

TARA - Mon Apr 16 16:27:36 EDT 2001

I just scanned some messages I noticed it was mentioned that you may be touring with matchbox twenty.
I have seen them twice at the Orpheum in Boston
a couple of years back. Here is my two cents,
keping in mind that I have seen more then my share of bands (it's my greatest source of enjoyment) Go with Tonic or Vertical Horizon
To the person asking what Led Zep song you cover
it's ramble on.
And last to 'DANIEL' What the hell is your problem
I think it may be time to have your medication
changed or adjusted. I'm not sure how old you are,I'm 46 so I've heard alot of music,your entitled to your opinion but you know what they say
opinions are like assholes...everybody has one !
p.s. did he really say Air Supply was good music ? they were a group from down under, all sappy love crap....oh excuuuuse me....I mean not quite what I like

Dan G - Mon Apr 16 16:07:01 EDT 2001

I bought "Drops of Jupiter" CD--and really like it. I get really tongue-tied singing it and i'm driving my friends crazy especially when i'm singing with my portable CD player!

S. - Mon Apr 16 15:05:52 EDT 2001

Just a quick question for those lucky 500 of you out there that got the autographed DOJ cd's. I purchased what I beliveed to be one of these cd's of E-Bay and when it arrived there wer two seperate cases 1 looks just like my Walmart copy of DOJ and is unopended the other has ONLY the lyrics book in it. My question is have I been screwed? Did this guy just get a second cd and sell me that + lyrics book therefore I don't have bonus tracks or not
Thanks

Jeremy - Mon Apr 16 14:58:54 EDT 2001

Hi guys "Drops of Jupiter" is destined to be a classic. I've written a song with
George Baisch entitled "Young Again". George is no longer with us but he was a legend in the San Fernando Valley during the '80's and was a brilliant singer like Pat Monahan. Please listen to the song as I'm sending a CD to the PO Box. It's called Rescued and the song is the second cut.
Call me at 805-522-2757.

Thanks

Dave Watkins - Mon Apr 16 14:51:04 EDT 2001

Have heard alot of people saying how much they like your band.....come to Columbus, OHIO and play at the Polaris Ampitheater.

Jenny - Mon Apr 16 14:43:02 EDT 2001

I have never heard of "Train" til I was doing some family history research and found the Buckler connection....anyhow, since then, I have heard your song "Drops of Juipter" on the radio here in Columbus, Ohio and I am constantly hearing people calling in to request the song as well. I mentioned my connection of family history to a few friends and asked them if they have ever hear of "Train" and to my surprise, they said Yes. Now, they come up to me and say "Hey do you think you can get us tickets to one of their concerts?" I just laugh. Cause I'm saving that question for tickets myself now...lol Best of luck to you all!! May God Richly bless you and keep you!

Jenny - Mon Apr 16 14:28:19 EDT 2001

Over two months ago I heard a new song which I knew was you guys so I called Newbury Comics to ask when your CD would be coming out. On that day I picked it up and left a message asking that you come back to the Paradise in Boston. Low and behold..... I got my tickets
thanks !
p.s. you guys just keep getting better.
much success

Dan G - Mon Apr 16 13:46:25 EDT 2001

When is Train coming to detroit!!!! I love them so much they need to come here!! My computors not lettting me go to the tourdate sight so can anyone help me out here?

Katy - Mon Apr 16 13:42:32 EDT 2001

I love train sooooo much!! They are the best band around!! Scott is soooo cute!! I cannot wait to see them in Dallas on the 27th!!! The new CD is soo good!! Drops of Jupiter is the best song I've ever heard!!

Wendy - Mon Apr 16 13:39:37 EDT 2001

the first time i saw train, they opened for carvin melon at ziggy's in winston-salem, nc. honestly i had no idea who train was. after the second song i was looking for a cd to buy. they're stage performance was so strong, it completely swept me away. i have the train self-titled cd and drops of jupiter cd. every song is a journey to a special place, a moment in time, the chance to look deep inside ourself. the words make you stop and think of things buried deep inside. they take you to the top of the mountain, to the banks of the river, and beyond. you remember things you had forgotten. the music takes you back to a time and place, we all wish we could live forever. thanks for helping me get to that centered place in my mind, when it seems the whole world is on your shoulders.

tonya - Mon Apr 16 13:32:19 EDT 2001

What an extraordinary presumption, Daniel. Irrespective of your personal likes or dislikes, and you are obviously entitled to them, surely as someone who is obviously my age (or older) you really ought to have learned manners by now.
I , and most people, enjoy a VERY wide spectrum of music and judging by your comments I share a lager proportion of my taste with you. With your derogatory comments about ANYONE who likes Train you must, by default, be including yourself in this as I enjoy similar music to you!?
Sorry old chap, grow up, and let the ‘kiddies’ do the slating. Are we to expect profanities next?
Interesting too that the courage of your convictions does not extend to your REAL email address...

Paul Driscoll - Mon Apr 16 12:48:28 EDT 2001

I got your newest cd for Easter from my boyfriend and inside it was a little flier from Sony Music stating that they would refund my money if I didn't love this cd! You have got to be kidding me, what a WASTE OF PAPER!!!!!

Anyway, I've gotten to see you guys twice in concert and I was just writing to BEG you to come back to the Cleveland area this summer.

Jess - Mon Apr 16 12:41:51 EDT 2001

I live in London and here in the UK we have never heard of Train. You may (or may not) be pleased to hear that I found your track 'Drops of Jupiter' on, you guessed it, Napter and I've been playing-the-pants-off-it! What a fantastic song. I think we've all been there at one time or another. I hope you have plans to release in the UK ad even tour, in the mean-time I'll be telling EVERYONE over here about it. And don't worry I've ordered a copy of the Album from Amazon!!

Paul Driscoll - Mon Apr 16 12:30:41 EDT 2001

I was sleeping this morning, when the damn alarm clock went off, and I actually liked the song playing so I left it on. I hadn't heard it before, and they said it was by train, so I figure it's new? Any ideas? (6.2 diesels rock)

6-2 Burb - Mon Apr 16 11:44:15 EDT 2001

I have never sent an email to a band before. However, I just felt inspired and so here I am. I just bought your CD this weekend after hearing 'drops of jupiter" on the radio. Now, I can't get enough of it. Just wanted to let you know that I love your music, the lyrics move me. I hope to see you in Toronto (I haven't been to see a band in years).
As an aside, I saw some of your photos from Australia. Isn't that an awesome place!! I spent five years in Australia and loved every minute of it! Keep it up guys you are the best. I'm sending you love and luck, and many happy moments for your tour!!

Kim - Mon Apr 16 10:51:33 EDT 2001

As a musician from the 70s you guys make my listening a pleasure again, your sound will help my music do good also See you in DC

This music takes me away. . . It's delicious and full of soul - I bet it's unreal to see them live! Thanks for making such contagious music Train! Hope I get to see you live. . .

Kate - Mon Apr 16 10:29:16 EDT 2001

PLEASE DONT FORGET THE SMALL TOWN OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, WE LOVE YOU GUYS AND WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR NEW STUFF, TRAX OR STAR HILL WOULD BE SOME GOOD VENUE. BEING A SMALL TOWN THE ONLY GOOD TIME WE HAVE IS WHEN YOU GUYS COME TO TOWN.

Hey did anyone see.....there is an poster autographed by all the band members on eBay.

Nate - Mon Apr 16 05:19:21 EDT 2001

Hi Pat,
We were in the front row for the show in Seattle yesterday (4/14). All three acts were awesome, but you were the highlight (which says a lot since I'm a huge John Hiatt fan). We were in the front sitting on the aisle. Robin, the friend I was with (tall, good looking blonde) has been a big fan of yours for a long time. It was her birthday today and I was hoping I could figure out a way to get you to sing Happy Birthday, but I didn't want to be obnoxious yelling up on stage. Any chance you could wish her a belated happy birthday? If so, send me a message back and I'll let you know how to reach her. Or better yet, head back to Seattle and we can take you to listen and dance to some other great music!

Kristin - Mon Apr 16 02:11:27 EDT 2001

...seems i must once again enlighten the masses. not that it really matters what i listen to, or what else happens to be in your libraries, if you like train, you are hopeless. however, todays menu
consisted of: radiohead, kate bush, miles davis,van morrison, and whatever WDET played. (www.wdet.org) at the moment i am listening to
BraveNewWaves, a radio show that hails from Canada.(www.cbc.ca/programs/bnw) once again though, it can hardly matter.
nor can you redeem your empty souls by explaining to me the diversity of your personal tastes. painting your broken down car will not get you any closer to my side of paradise.

Daniel - Mon Apr 16 02:06:23 EDT 2001

i think train is a pretty good band and i'm just starting to realize this but anyway i was hoping to find chords to hopeless but i cant seem to find them anywhere.....if anyone knows where i can get them or if they can even type em' out email me somethin.. Thanks

biz - Mon Apr 16 00:11:04 EDT 2001

I was wondering if anyone has a tape or a CD of cover songs Train has done and/or live appearances. Please e-mail me if you do!!

Hey! I'm a 12 year old female from Erie, Pennsylvania! I love Train so much! All their songs kick major butt! I see that there is a concert in PA. I wanna go to it so bad, but I dunno I hope I can! Anyways when I heard "Drops of Jupiter" on the radio I fell in love with it! I heard "Meet Virgina" but I didn't know who sung it.. but one day from school like a couple weeks ago I was watching VH1 and they played Drops of Jupiter and then Meet Virgina.. both of the videos were awesome! Train needs to tour in Erie! lol. I went to trains yahoo chat and it was kool, there was a lot of Erie people in there. I will also watch Train on rosie tomorrow. I have a train club please join it! it's http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/eriepatrain thanks :o) bye bye -Gen-

You know, for someone who has shown such obvious disdain and lack of respect for this board and its patrons, you sure seem to be giving these topics a lot of extra thought. Any particular reason why?

Cerena - Sun Apr 15 19:02:51 EDT 2001

I love you! Drops of Jupiter is the best song I have EVER heard. I love you, I love your song and I want to marry your band. Cerena Train sounds good to me.

I know you are playing at the Paradise in Boston soon. I work there as a part time lighting programer and designer among many places in the city. I am a big fan of your music and would love to volunteer to do your lighting at no cost to anyone. I also work at a large lighting rental company and can get alot of cutting edge lights for once again at no cost to you.

I have no Idea if you people read this or even care about lighting, or have your own lighting guy
I don't want anything from you at all, I work there and will get in to see you anyways, it would just be my pleasure to give one of my favorite bands an outstanding lighting show.

Pete

Pete Hansen - Sun Apr 15 16:45:33 EDT 2001

Donna says we should be called traintrackers, because most of us follow the band (or plan to) I have changed my mind though. I think we should be called trainiacs because we are all fanatical (in a good way though). I AM A TRAINIAC!!

- Sun Apr 15 15:47:45 EDT 2001

I have just got back from the US after purchasing Train's magnificent album and I was wondering if you were due to come and conquer the UK (releasing singles and albumns?).... Hope u could let me know... Lizzie

Lizzie - Sun Apr 15 14:55:48 EDT 2001

I remember the first time I heard a Train song. I was on my way to the Sausalito Art Festival, Labor Day Weekend, 1998, and I heard "Meet Virginia" on the radio. I thought,"What a great song!" I got to the festival and was there to see Tod Rungren. Knowing how popular he was, I decided to get to the stage early and check out the band going on before him. Train came out and I instanly liked the music. Then they played "Meet Virginia". I knew then I had a new favorite band.

I've seen them live three times. I turned my husband on to them and they are one of his favorite bands as well. Unfortunately we just missed them in Seattle yesterday :(

I'm loving "Drops of Jupiter". I just hope the radio doesn't over play it. I hate that.

Happy Easter...Happy Passover...Happy Spring....

Jen :)

Jen Lees - Sun Apr 15 14:53:21 EDT 2001

Hey Train Fans

Just thought I would visit your board and say

hello from atlanta. i am a 31 year old session musician ( drummer ) and i just want to say that
drops of jupiter is fantastic. it's the kind of album that i hope i get the chance to make. drops of jupiter is so good i wish i had TWO copies of it.

cris mcavoy - Sun Apr 15 14:35:43 EDT 2001

I think the new Cd is really good. I bought it on Sat. April 14 and I already think it is really good. I like most of the tracks with a lot of Piano stuff in it

Justin - Sun Apr 15 14:30:21 EDT 2001

train is the best band that i have ever heard ! i just got the new ' drops of jupitor " cd ! it is the best ! i have every thing of train! you are the coolest ! just keep going on and on ! Never stop writing new songs! And i will never stop buying your cds! Always and froever your absoulute # fan Christine ! P.S. trains the best !

christine - Sun Apr 15 13:54:52 EDT 2001

Hi there, I wish Train could perform at the Clio Ampitheatre this summer, but I know they probably have thier dates set by now. On the new CD, it's a lot meadower than the last one which is a nice change of pace. Respect and Hopeless seem to be the best tracks on the CD, that's excluding Drops of Jupiter which is doing well here in Michigan. The CD seems more personal than the last as well.

Hope to see ya soon.

Jon Owen - Sun Apr 15 12:48:45 EDT 2001

Hey guys! I saw Train last summer at the "Uncle Sam Jam" in Indianapolis and I've been a huge fan ever since!!! I got the new CD this morning actually and just wanted to tell you it's awesome! I totally agree w/ the post by Craig, there has been such a downfall in music lately! Train is just bringing back the good stuff! You guys are great! Have a good Easter! xoxoxo

Lauren - Sun Apr 15 12:34:08 EDT 2001

Daniel,
I'm just wondering...what kind of music do YOU like? I think we'd ALL like to know. Thanx! :)

Kandi - Sun Apr 15 12:24:07 EDT 2001

Hey everyone!! Happy Easter! :D
I can't wait to see TRAIN on Rosie O'donnell! (spelling?) I'm so excited! I hope you all get the chance to see it! :)
Have a wonderful day!!!

Kandi Kalis - Sun Apr 15 12:21:39 EDT 2001

Why does everyone seem to think Daniel is an old man? Has he stated this?
I think he's just some young, lonely kid, or atleast acts like one. So if he is an old guy, that makes him twice as pathetic.
Daniel, you have still not enlightened us on what you find to be good music. Please, I think we all want to know what we should be hearing. I would hate to miss out on something truly great...

CJ - Sun Apr 15 11:47:00 EDT 2001

This guy Daniel seems to have some sick obsession with the scatalogical as evidenced by the title of one of his posts and now the latest one. Get out of here you sicko old man.

Theresa - Sun Apr 15 11:28:19 EDT 2001

Train is just really good rock music. It's not too hard, it's not too soft, it's... just right.
So much better to listen to than most of the crap that's out now.
When you listen to them,it seems as if all of their music was written personally for you.

craig - Sun Apr 15 11:12:36 EDT 2001

TO YOU ALL ...

Queen of Rain - Sun Apr 15 11:10:23 EDT 2001

Does anyone know much about Pat Monahan's early
years?? If anyone knows please write me to
confirm this...I grew up with him and his sister
and his bio matches the same guy...And he sure
was a great runner as well as a big steelers' fan.

teak mapon - Sun Apr 15 05:56:08 EDT 2001

Bob has this song called Tarantula that is too much fun to hear. If you only learn one of Bob's songs, learn that one. Bob is the guy with Sandra Bullock. When I saw him in Austin, he was opening for Eric Johnson. His show was a lot of fun. Seems like a good guy too. The people of Austin love him so much. He plays for 3 hours sometimes.

josh - Sun Apr 15 03:37:33 EDT 2001

clearly your brains as well as your ears are not functioning properly. the obvious name for those of you who love this noise is: trainuses.

daniel - Sun Apr 15 02:59:52 EDT 2001

... that I am not the only one who is obviously addicted to the new album (Wait, I'm not that old ... but how old would that be anyway?) ... Even if I try to put something else into my CD player ... the only thing that made it so far was TRAIN's first album ...

About the style of music: I have no idea ... but someone on a Counting Crows board once wrote about their (CC's) music as POETICAL MUSIC - I like it and guess it would fit TRAIN too, wouldn't it?

About the name: I have no idea either ... there were many good suggestions so far ... Trainiacs is really cool, but Trainliners is too ... In Germany we agreed that we would be A Murder of Crows (as Counting Crows fans) ... but there's not really anything that works nearly as well with trains ... Maybe we should use something out of their songs ... like Traindrops (instead of Raindrops) ... But that sounds really stupid, doesn't it? So, just forget it ... and let's stick with one of the other suggestions ...

Take care and keep on riding the TRAIN ...

Queen of Rain - Sun Apr 15 02:38:21 EDT 2001

Hey what kind of music is Train exactly?? I heard them the other day and cant figure it out!! Somebody tell me please!!!!

Mack - Sun Apr 15 01:43:01 EDT 2001

Hey Guys, I never heard of you guys until I was on the TV crew the night you guys played at the Fillmore in San Francisco last year. You guys really put on a great show, although I only saw it from the TV truck. Anyway, bought your first album...loved it, second Album, loved it. Tickets go on sale tomorrow for your show at the Warfield. Hopefully I can get decent seats. I was hoping that Five for Fighting would open for you guys, but it doesn't look that way. I have been emailing John from Five and he said he is with you guys on the east coast leg. I thought I could get to see my two favorite bands on the same night. Anyway, good luck, have fun and keep on putting out great music.
Alex Casadonte, San Jose, CA

Alex - Sun Apr 15 01:02:48 EDT 2001

Being that true fans are CRAZY about Train, I think Trainiac is the perfect way to describe us. If you don't believe me, wait till you see the affect this band has on a live crowd. It's absolutely awesome. :):)

As far as a favorite new song, I can happily say I don't have one. Every song on the new album (did i just give away how old i am by saying album)has a special meaning and tone that makes each song special on it's own. There are not many albums (again) that you can say have that affect.

Keep on writing Trainiacs, whatever you want to call us, I think it's great that we can let the band know how much there creative energy has made their music so wonderful. Keep it real!!

me - Sun Apr 15 00:00:39 EDT 2001

I'm having a hard time deciding between "Getaway" and "I Wish You Would". I agree with CJ on the whole "chills" thing. I think Pat's voice has a great blue-esque quality to it. Very soulful and achy, and hearing him sing the vocals to such heartbreaking, bittersweet songs seems to be a perfect fit. And well, I'm just love listening to the chorus in "Getaway".

And hey, what's this about you having two extra songs on your CD? Did I understand that right? And if that's true, do I have the right to be utterly jealous?

'ropa - Sat Apr 14 22:53:03 EDT 2001

I've not bought a cd in years...
because ive not been impressed by much of the
music being released.
The first time i heard Drops of Jupiter it grabed
me ...the wonderfull thing is it never let go.

The rest of the cd is great as well
you guys really have a special gift. Thanks for some great music.

jeff - Sat Apr 14 22:52:29 EDT 2001

i am absolutely addicted to this music. your sound and the songs on "Drops of Jupiter" are like themes that have always resonated somewhere deep in our collective unconscious, music that we knew existed somewhere, somehow, but it took this amazing group to bring it out into the open.
wow, that's pretty deep! what do i know? all i know is that i'm kicking myself for not getting tickets to your Toronto show sooner...boohoo. hopefully the next time around won't be too far off.

I'm too old to buy new cds by new bands - but Virginia caught my ear last year and when I realized the same band played this new Jupiter song, I had to go buy the cd. It's so refreshing to find a great band writing awesome lyrics and music - and then sounding great when they perform. I'm so psyched that I found out now, in time to catch you guys in Clifton Park next month!

I MADE IT!!! I MADE IT TO PORTLAND FOR THE KINK102 FM EARTH DAY CONCERT!!! I can die happy! I have seen train live and i love them even more now which I didn't think quite possible. I missed Craig and Dave, though, but they're will be reruns and I am not even the least bit disappointed! Thank goodness for Train doing what they do! (They were obviously having a ball under that "solv" art!!) I Am extatic. I hope train retains this amount of fame, it is perfect for the band and for all their "trainiacs!" I am floating soooo high right now!

Iris - Sat Apr 14 20:58:48 EDT 2001

I love the newest train cd but also have been a fan since meet Va, which is where I was living until 6 months ago. I'm new in Boise, idaho and would love to connect with any "Train" fans around this area. I'm 41, single and very much into music. I try to spread the word about Train and how great they are....to everyone who knows me. I know they have many fans in Va and at least one in Boise :+) That would be me! email me anytime. janie

janie in idaho - Sat Apr 14 20:50:44 EDT 2001

We like Trainliners.
Sounds Misterios, cool, unique.
Trainliners

Jack, Dave, and Betsy - Sat Apr 14 20:36:05 EDT 2001

I like either trainliners or traniacs.
That's just my opinion though.
Trainliners sounds a little better outta the 2.

Darcy - Sat Apr 14 20:33:30 EDT 2001

hey there train! I just wanted to let you all know you put on a great show last night in Portland. And even though, there were only about six of us standing in the front row, while the rest of the auditorium sat, we enjoyed your music so much! Last night was only the third time I've seen you in concert, but again it was amazing. You are by far the best performers I've ever seen. And I have pretty high standards, being that I've gone to a lot of concerts. Your music just "gets me" so good, and even more in concert. Your lyrics are amazing, because they have a hint of mystery, but at the same time are very easy to relate to. I just wanted to congratulate you all your great talent in music in the studio and on stage and thank you for providing me that wonderful music. Good luck on the rest of your tour and I hope you come back to Portland soon!

Terah Yerke

For another name how about "ho-bo's", ya know like the the ones that ride the trains. i think sometimes Train's music just takes you heart and soul on a ride, we are all just riders, and they are driving. HMM??? Of course I missing medication time, while i'm typing this, so that could be where the idea is coming from. i think about it some more after nap time.

The Dude - Sat Apr 14 17:49:25 EDT 2001

you guys rock!!
the show at the Big-E was great.. we were yelling the whole time! we can't wait for you to come around again

lisa dimente - Sat Apr 14 17:28:27 EDT 2001

yeah, i was scrolling through the messages for names and sexual chocolate was one. thats too funny. i still like the trained for a fan name.

joshua - Sat Apr 14 16:53:01 EDT 2001

Last night, April 13th, I went to the Earth Day concert with SOLV. I was sitting in the very front row and let me tell you that you guys put on one of the best shows I have been to. You are really talented and I would love to see you again so you have to come back to Portland very soon.

Angie - Sat Apr 14 15:20:04 EDT 2001

Anything by Zeppelin would of course make a great cover tune, but Pat's sound reminds me a little of Lindsay Buckingham, so I was thinking maybe "Second Hand News" or "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac.
Maybe "Sympathy For The Devil" or "Under My Thumb" by the Stones, or a fully acoustic version of "Alive" by PearlJam.
Or something funky like James Brown.
Train's got soul!

CJ - Sat Apr 14 15:16:51 EDT 2001

Trainliners or Trainiacs sound like the best names to me so far. This label for us fans is not at all an easy thing to come up with.

I am pleased to see that people are back to posting what their favorite new songs are.
Did everyone vote for theirs in the NEWS section of this website?
Go there and vote if you haven't.
I guess it's not fair to say "It's Love" or "Sweet Rain" are my favorite songs since a lot of people don't have those two extra songs on their CD, so I stand by "Getaway".
It has killer atmoshphere and still gives me chills when Pat sings "...Seemed like forever...". Even after almost three weeks of non-stop listening!

Take care Trainliners, or Trainiacs, or whatever the hell we are...

CJ - Sat Apr 14 15:03:29 EDT 2001

Hey guys, I guess I've become a Train groupy.
I have second row tickets to your Indy show, so how do I get back stage passes for four hot babes having a girls nite out. We are coming from SW Michigan to see ya rock. e-mail me if you can help us out. See ya at the show!

Hi iven just got back from the states, while over there i brought both train albums. My friend and I both love the music. ( Drops of Jupitar is the best song, it sounds every oasis, but so much better than any song theve ever done) We were just wondering if the are planning to play the uk in the near future. And any info on the band would be well received.

Thanks
Rob

Michelle - Sat Apr 14 09:11:29 EDT 2001

Maybe Train will pick a name for us if we keep on them about it....how bout it guys what do you think??????

Daniel, did you eat paint chips as a baby? I think so. I also think that jealousy rears its nasty head in you. You Must be sad that you are the one who is talenless. Pat Monahan has always been very creative and full of talent, and he always will be. His bandmates just bring out the best in him, as well as themselves, that is why they have made it! And, no there are no rules/regulations stating that only positive things need to be posted on a message board, but why in the realm of Jupiter would you wast your time (when we have so little time here) on a board that you are not a fan of?????? I think it is a sorry cry for attention, and I also think that this should be the last posting to Daniel so that he will go away just like Wildman did!!!! Peace Out to all the Train Fans!

pearlbean - Sat Apr 14 08:06:33 EDT 2001

Brandi - Fri Apr 13 22:21:17 EDT 2001

So...what do you all think about some train covers. THey mentioned Elton John's Daniel and Van Halens Ain't talkin bout love.
I think both are really good songs. Fuel does a killer accoustic version of Daniel...it is amazing. I would always love to hear an other Zeppelin tune like maybe Rain Song. Possibly Whipping Post by the Alman Brothers band.
Tell me what the rest of yall think
PEACE!!!

Scott - Fri Apr 13 22:09:26 EDT 2001

Viki - Fri Apr 13 20:00:42 EDT 2001

I'm not a big fan of fan message boards, for just this simple reason. Daniel's right; there is no law that only positive comments must be posted. But that simply begs the question: Why would anyone who DOESN'T like something, go on a BB whose sole purpose is to connect fans with a common interest, and TRASH the one thing that person is SURE 99.9% of the members like? The only possible reason this "Daniel" (if that is your real name) is posting such negative comments is either because 1) He has no life, and WAY too much time on his hands, or 2) He's just a jackass. And I'm betting on both. Daniel, hun, you can post whatever rants you want about how "simple" our tastes are, or how "uneducated" Train's music is (which, by the way, I would LOVE to know how you decipher between "educated" and "uneducated" music....). You're right; no law against speaking your mind. Just remember that we also have that right and on here, you are seriously outnumbered. Oh, and what's the crack about "hell" all about? Never in my life have I ever heard that having a certain preference or opinion will send you to hell. Personally, I think you need to unkink your colon and maybe try getting a few more hugs before your lack of tolerance gives you an ulcer. You're only shortening your life span by sweating over what kind of music other people like. If you get that upset about people not agreeing with you, then I pity you, because in life, you're going to find that the majority of the population doesn't share you "enlightened" view of things. And the sooner your narrow-mind windens, the happier you'll be with things! And the less chance you have of being run down by a disgruntled motorist. Just thought I'd give you a little tip there.

And yeah, this is only my second post. So sue me. This just reminded me of why I left the Tal Bachman board. I came here to discuss why I love Train's music. Not to be made fun of, simply because someone doesn't agree with me. I wish this would stop, I don't understand people like this. It makes me sad.

Oh, and oddly enough, I really like the idea of being called "cabooses". How cute is THAT? Whoever came up with that, it's awesome. *L* But I'm also kinda digging "traniacs".

I, too, think it'd be cool to put an official name to all of us Train fans out there...
what I've read so far are:
trainees
trainliners
trainheads
train rats
trainiacs
hobos
(cabooses...that's funny)

keep posting ideas
but what would be cool is if the band could officially associate with one and start calling us that...that way one would stick. judging from their diary and the possible new cover songs, they DO read their board (and have great sense of humors I might add). so, if it means anything to anyone else, post and ask the band to help us out with nailing down a fan name.

chad - Fri Apr 13 16:54:25 EDT 2001

when i heard meet virginia i thought it was agood song and i liked it. but train was soon out of my mind, i thought they were a one-hit wonder. then drops of jupiter was released. music hasnt moved me since dave matthews crash album. it looks as if train is here to stay and i am happy to see it as well. there needs to be more music like this. keep up the good work guys.

Hi guys,I'm from Montreal,Que.Canada.I must admit that I didn't know much about you but when I heard "Drops of Jupiter" I said to myself "this is a song I gotta have" because I can relate so much to it's words and emotions that come along with it.Thank you for putting into words what so many relationships go through.I really like your album and hope to have news about your visit to Montreal. Daniel.

I would like to know where to get the password to buy tickets for the chicago, may 16th, concert.
Anyone have it????

Bill - Fri Apr 13 14:43:29 EDT 2001

Jesus H. Christ. I go away from the message board for a couple of days and look what
I've missed! Can't I leave you people alone for two minutes?

First, I'd like to address Tiki's post: I rather like "Trainees." But I'm cheesy like that.

Secondly, since we're on the subject of cover songs, I'd like to suggest "I've Got a
Feeling," by the Beatles. There's even a train reference in the song ("Oh please believe
me, I'd hate to miss the train. . .") and I can already hear Pat singing it. You guys can
fight over who sings the counter-melody. If we're just picking songs for Daniel's benefit,
how about Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up?"

Third, I'm in agreement with Val and Obi. Daniel, who, pray tell, are YOUR favorite bands?
What's your definition of good music? Personally, my definition would be any music
that makes me happy. I listen to everything; rock, pop, country, classical, opera, folk,
new wave, techno,Sinatra (he gets his own category) etc., etc., etc. But I don't feel it
necessary to impose my musical tastes on anyone else. As the great John Lennon
sang, "Whatever gets you through the night is alright." Listen to what makes you happy.
Let your freak flag fly. Why can't we all just get along?

Tiki - You HAVE sparked conversation - I was actually discussing this with friends last night. One very uninterested friend suggested "cabooses". THAT is not going to happen - it just screams that we're some sort of asses (no comments from Daniel - pleeeze!). I think we're classier than "hoboes" denotes. What about "Trackers" (wait, does that sound too much like Trekees?)?

Discussion ... Anyone, anyone ....?

I fell asleep watching TV last night and woke up to the sound of an awesome song from a group I never heard of, IT WAS TRAIN!! I am psyched to hear them on Craig Kilborn and was calling CBS across the country to reach The show just to find out who was this band!
I was moved, touched and psyched
A new true fan !
I am blown away that here in Florida I have never heard of Train Thanks Craig Kilborn and Train!

Kellee - Fri Apr 13 13:30:08 EDT 2001

Daniel, dearest. If you hate the band so much, why do you go through the trouble of finding Train's official site and ranting about how much they "suck"? That's...just weird...

To the peanut gallery...Ignore Daniel. He's just immature and is in dire need of attention. By all of us posting in reply to his message, it's giving him back what we wants. He just wants us to get all riled up...and honestly, there are other people out there who express the same sentiments to Train but aren't posting it here. Yes, this should be a congregation of love but you know what? Just ignore them. So just ignore him and he'll eventually go away. Or find another board of another band to post and rant about how much they "suck" and whatnot...

magick - Fri Apr 13 13:24:32 EDT 2001

Paul:

Don't forget he talked about a band called Air Supply too. Are they from the 1960's or something I have never heard of them. This guy really is old. I like senior citizens and all but you really can't take their opinions on current music that seriously. So let's chill about him.

Since you guys pulled your NYC date, my husband and I will be travelling to Rhode Island to see you in May. We saw you twice last year and have been huge fans of yours for the last two years. Drops of Jupiter hasn't left my cd player since I got it the day it was released. Every single song touches me in some way. She's On Fire is amazing and I can't stop dancing to it! Thanks for the wonderful music! We're looking forward to the show in Rhode Island. And, please, please, please come to New York City or NJ!!! :)

Thanks for pointing out the road diary thing. I always forget to check that out, and that is TOO FUNNY about the cover tunes.
Truth is, they could cover those Van Halen and Elton John songs and you know they would sound great.
But why pay tribute to an ass like Daniel or an "overrated" band like Van Halen?
It's good to know they tell the truth about reading this board.

CJ - Fri Apr 13 11:58:13 EDT 2001

Awesome job on the Late, Late Show! I was fortunate enough to be in the "cattle call group" to be shepherded in to to see the performance. For those of you who saw the show on T.V., they cut "She's on Fire" - Jimmy just rocked!

I was wondering if anybody knew how to make more direct contact to the band or tour manager...I am a Yamaha Piano dealer in Albany, and I would love to offer a Yamaha Grand for the performance at Northern Lights! I will pay for all the moving/tuning, I just thought the guys would like a grand to play for the night. (Especially if they might cover "Daniel"!

Thanks....hope to see some of you at the show here in tha Capital Region of the great state of NY.

Sean Kingsbury - Fri Apr 13 11:13:22 EDT 2001

Did you all read the Road Diary? How do you like the little dig at the end about doing "Daniel" by Elton John and a Van Halen song. I think it is a little sarcasm in reference to the two idiots who have been making the negative comments on the board. The one dude who thought the DROPS said Van Halen is overrated and that middle aged guy Daniel who has been recently making those negative posts. Well he must be middle aged by some of the bands he mentioned in his post Bread? Eagles? REO Speed Wagon? Chicago? Who the hell are they? I wonder how many "Depends" Daniel goes through in a week hehehehe sorry older Train fans. Well go away Daniel. Get back to the nursing home.

Craig - Fri Apr 13 09:55:09 EDT 2001

Train is the first band I have ever loved all of their music and it felt like forever until DOJ came out, now all of a sudden I realize that I am made a fatal mistake by not checking the tour dates sooner. I am stuck out here in Jackson Hole WY with the next concert in Englewood and absolutely no way of even thinking of going (my work schedule and my boyfriends work schedule) Now this is the really sad thing, I have never really gone to a concert before so I have no idea what to expect. Do you think that they might come back this way or am I going to find someway to get to another tour date down the road? Your help or kind words of sympathy are very much appreciated. =)

Raven - Fri Apr 13 09:22:15 EDT 2001

So Daniel, have you listened to any of Train besides DOJ? Or are you as simple as you sound, making judgements after hearing one song?
Not creative? Devoid? Do you have no life experience to speak of?
Listen to both of their albums, and check them out live, then you might be slightly qualified to give an opinion.
What would you consider creative or musically complex? The ridiculous and regurgitated "modern rock" like Limp Bizkit or Korn, that's almost unbearable to listen to. Or maybe a little Eminem.
If Train is so bad, why not enlighten all of us Trainliners with what you find to be truly great and inspiring music?
Open up our eyes. Please help us. Save us from this runaway Train...

Kandi K - Fri Apr 13 09:06:04 EDT 2001

thanks everybody for replying to my question about if there's a "name" for Train fans...a whole one person ! (trainhead)
anyway...
what i find funny about this daniel guy's posts is that so many have responded to him...that's exactly what he wants. you're playing his game.
the best reaction to people like him is no reaction. he says stuff to stir people up and if no one replied...man, i bet he'd feel even more like a loser. he'd waste his time checking this board and not return. but you've already fed him.
train...can't wait to see you in Indy
you're in for a treat with the slotted opening band, local hero Chris Shaffer. y'all know how well Train covers Zepplin...you should hear this guy do the Doors' "roadhouse blues"! check out www.shafferstreet.com for downloads.
peace

Train is like a phenomenon. Intriguing for a reason I don't know why. I've got only $40 to my name, rent and credit card payments due, and only bread and ketchup in my fridge but still I go out and buy DOJ. For what ever reason, it was definitely worth it. I'm a poor man that doesn't feel that way.

Tyler Durden - Fri Apr 13 03:33:23 EDT 2001

I just don't understand this. To be honest with you, "Meet Virgina" was not one of my favorites songs. I recognized it as something different, which was nice, but I really didn't like it much. Then "Drops" hit me, and I'm like whoa, who sings this? I call radio stations, listen for it, and then i find out who it is. On a hunch i buy the cd "DOJ", one week later, I am at a loss for words. I am looking to buy tickets to a Train show, in a venue about 8 hours away from me, ya know rent a car, skip school the whole bit. All this off of one cd. I just dont get why, and to be perfectly honest, i really don't want too. I enjoy the music, it makes me feel something, something good, and i just enjoy that. To me, that is what music is supposed to do. So off i go, but if i flunk school, i'm suing!

The Dude - Fri Apr 13 03:20:58 EDT 2001

There's nothing wrong with Train's music. It would be unwise and unfair to Train, as well as the world, if they complicated and corrupted their music just to impress negative people like you. To think that simple is uneducated is truly saddening. The greatest things in life are the simplest things. You're extremely condesending towards people that don't need the clutter of overbloated thinking. I just want to know something. . . did you're daddy ever touch you? Cuz, it's not your fault. I'm sorry it happened to you. But get over it and grow.

Tyler Durden - Fri Apr 13 02:55:04 EDT 2001

I don't know about anyone else, but MY favorite part of tonight was reading what Daniel wrote. It makes me sad to know that there are people in the world that really have nothing better to do than put their negative comments out there for everyone to see, with the sole purpose of bringing people down. You don't like Train? THEN DON'T LISTEN! No one ever said tha you have to pay attention to them. I almost want to cry for you b/c of the fact that 5 men expressing themselves creatively makes you that angry. So sad, it's so very sad.

Bridget - Fri Apr 13 02:38:34 EDT 2001

All I want to say is that I cannot wait until the Chicago show on May 16th. I will be home from college, fresh off finals, and what better way to celebrate than an amazing Train concert?! I didn't think it was possible, but the new album is even better than the first. I live in a dorm and my door is usually open and I have had multiple girls come in to ask me what band I was listening to because they thought the music sounded really good. Pat's voice just draws people to the source of the music I guess. :) One more thing, I am very dissappointed in the fact that there have been no Saint Louis shows, because that's where I go to school. I haven't gotten to see a show since the last time you were in St. Louis, b/c of school. :( But, I think I'll live. Can't wait for this next month to go by so I can see you guys at home in Chicago!

Bridget - Fri Apr 13 02:21:19 EDT 2001

Isn't it great that we all can say what we want? And that we all can listen to what we want?

[/Quote]

Funny ... I find DoJ one of the most creative, unique, moving songs in a long time ... It's one of these songs that made me cry the first time I hear them ... but I'm only 19, not too far away from being a 15-year-old lonely girl ... maybe that's why I like it that much ...

[Quote} ... and by the way, geniuses, you are IN the Milky Way, therefore making it to the Milky Way would be no great feat. ... [/Quote]

Have you ever thought of this as a metaphora?
I don't think it's about actually making it TO the milky way ... It's about taking this long trip, getting far away from everything and everyone you know ... run away as far as you can ... And actually, you can still make it to the center of the milky way, and I believe that journey no one of us would like to take, since it would take so long ...

I don't really know why I'm writing this ... but I just thought I'd have to say this ... If you (Daniel) wanted to get some of our attention: Congratulations, you've made it!
Cause I can't think of any other reason why you'd write things like that in a place like this ... but on the other side: I'm only 19, so what do I know, right?

I also think that DoJ is a song you either CAN or CANNOT relate to ... and I find myself in there, as being the one who's trying to get to the milky way ... but maybe that's a part of growing up ... Has anyone of you ever been there? Have you actually made it that far?

Just wondering. Take care ...

Queen of Rain - Fri Apr 13 02:13:05 EDT 2001

nowhere on this site does it say only positive comments should be posted. therefore, i shall speak my mind. it is my firm belief that the members of this band were sitting around listening
to Air Supply and said, "hey, let's make crappy music just like these guys!" the plain and simple truth is...most people are simpletons. they expect very little, and bands like this deliver the fluffy pop your tiny souls crave. history proves it, Chicago, Bread, REO Speedwagon, The Eagles, The Wallflowers, Matchbox 20, and now..
Train. All bland, all uneducated, all without depth, all glued to simple chords and simple rhymes that whine on about elementary concepts.
Yes, it does irk me, it does annoy me that supposed artists ask so little of themselves in
their creative wanderings. It annoys me more that
you as 'fans' worship such drivel. That you have
not educated yourselves to the point where you
demand more than 6th grade cardboard noise, to me, is pathetic. That your souls are so colorless, so devoid of character, imagination and
artistry, to me, is criminal. Please, do the true
artists on this planet a favor...as your Train is
struggling over that bridge to nowhere...jump. I hear Barry Manilow will be the opening act in hell...so you'll be right at home.....

Don't miss the Craig Kilborn show ...The guys were awesome ... I thought they would be really good, and I was looking forward to that show - but I didn't expect them to be THAT good ... I was in the audience at the show, and TRAIN actually played TWO songs for us (THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! ... DoJ and "She's on Fire") ... but they will probably only show DoJ. Anyway, you have to watch till the end of the show, cause they did an interview with Pat ... The show starts any minute at the East coast, but it's still three more hours to go here ... but it's definitely a MUST-SEE ...

I think, I wrote that before: I love Counting Crows and I never thought anything would come close ... but these guys have made it ...

Keep on rocking everyone ... and I hope to see some of you next week in San Diego ... Take care.

Queen of Rain - Fri Apr 13 01:32:21 EDT 2001

Even though I downloaded most of the songs of Drops Of Jupiter online, Train is so good, I had to buy the CD. If all artists were this good I'd never pirate songs again.

We've got less than an hour before Train's on Craig Kilborn tonight. I'm not gonna miss it.

Tyler Durden - Fri Apr 13 00:44:16 EDT 2001

Train is scheduled to perform in Birmingham, AL on May 1st and 2nd at Five Points Music Hall. Why not schedule a concert at Oak Mountain Amphitheater instead? Five Points is much too small for all of the Train fans in Birmingham!

Kathy - Fri Apr 13 00:41:27 EDT 2001

Dear Train,

I am impressed! Drops of Jupiter is the best CD I have heard in many, many years. I cannot stop listening to it. You guys are amazingly talented, it is a really strong performance - songwise, singing wise and music wise. I like you better than U2.

You are really on top of the game and of today's music and I think you are going to hit it BIG. I can't wait to follow it!

Maria Corey - Fri Apr 13 00:29:13 EDT 2001

Your thoughts for Jimmy Stafford:
Russ asked me to write you concerning tickets for the Denver concert. We have 10 family and friends that will be going to the concert. We don't expect complimentary tickets, just advice on how to get the best seats and a visit back stage. We all love Drops of Jupiter and especially the video. Compliments to Pat for having special dreams. Monica

Monica McKenzieYour name - Fri Apr 13 00:08:01 EDT 2001

WOOWOO! Thought the CD was a total materpiece guys. I hadn't heard "Drops of Jupiter" more than two times on the radio before I bought the CD, without knowing any of their other work besides, of course, "Meet Virginia". I just bought the self-titled one tonight, and I'm already absolutely falling in love with it. Very rarely does a band come across as this good; I haven't purchased an album from which I listen to ALL the tracks in a long time, so this is a welcome surprise! Wish I had been smart enough to become an obsessive fan years ago! Keep it up!

'ropa - Thu Apr 12 23:51:04 EDT 2001

It was AWESOME!!!! They did 2 songs. Drops Of Jupiter and She's On Fire. But They are only airing one tonight. After the show I got to meet Jimmy and Charlie. Both were so cool. I told them about seeing them at La Zona Rosa in Austin during SXSW in March. Then after a few minutes I asked about the HOB show. I said to them I know its strange, but is there any room left on your guest list for me :) Then said nope, and they even had to turn away some of their friends. So at least I can say that it wasn't because I was a guy that they said no, lol.

In one of the early shots of the crowd I think I am on tv. I was wearing a tie dye shirt from the last CSNY tour.

At the end of the show Pat comes out and talks for a minute or two.

what's the inspriration for this song?

i just bought the CD today and am listening to it here at work...guess what everyone gets to listen to it now...the volume is up on this one.

Great CD TrainMen!

Just as an FYI for everyone looking at the Message Board and nothing else on the site....the tickets are on sale at www.ticketmaster.com for many of the shows. For those tickets that are on the internet presale level right now the password is Jupiter. If you don't want to do that, I don't know why you wouldn't, the Ticketmaster site will tell you when they go on sale to the public. This should clear everything up for everyone out there who is unclear.

Train Fan - Thu Apr 12 17:37:42 EDT 2001

I just picked up the new CD and all I can say is WOW!!! I bought the first CD the day it hit the stores and knew every word to every song before the first week was up...the follow up is even more amazing!! So etheral and broad...WOW!!! Can't wait to see you guys in Dallas!

messengerman - Thu Apr 12 16:20:30 EDT 2001

Every so often your hear a song that blows you away... every so often a song is written that screams "emotion". Knowing that someone went through something to write the words down on paper, let alone convert the words to a song.

Every once you hear a song that you can sing to.. one that reminds you of yourself or someone you know or knew.. A song that seems to melt into the melody. This is what music should be... intellectual,inspiring,passionate, refreshingly raw, real, umcompromisingly crisp, filled with delicious metaphors and dare I say, soulful.

Thank you.

Jackie Dear - Thu Apr 12 16:15:41 EDT 2001

and that daniel kid posted positive down the board a bit... tsk tsk make up your mind doo, anyways those of us who are in the know, well we regard the music as something phenomenal, let the bridge past our ears and seep into our souls, am i right? not talking about synaptic reactions, something much deeper than that and you cats are all tuned into that vibe...t' anyway, i missed the live chat :( and there was so much i wanted to ask... maybe when we're all in denver :)

Some people just thrive on negativity.
Why would someone seek out a site for
a band/song he/she found "annoying",
go to the message board and type inane
comments?

On to the positives ... I'm looking forward
to seeing them tonight at the taping for
the Late, Late Show because I find DOJ
inspiring.

Amy Jo (A.J.) - Thu Apr 12 12:39:22 EDT 2001

Well the guys dropped from 6 to 18 on the Billboard 200. Still not bad though. I think they will start climbing again next week. Let's so anyway.

Juniper Berry - Thu Apr 12 12:29:01 EDT 2001

This is my first time on the message board and I have read alot of these messages
and it's great to see that "Train" has wonderful fans....they are a great band with
such meaning in there songs . I have not been able to see them in concert as most
of you but one day i hope to...well keep the great music coming "Train"..and
to all you people on this message board with nothing nice to say..the rest of
us dedicated fans will just " LET IT ROLL" Love ..........donna

Donna - Thu Apr 12 12:28:22 EDT 2001

daniel, You are a very confused person, and I pray you get some help, because based on what you wrote...you are a lonely person who thinks very highly of themself, and you are blinded by that ignorance, and therfore I feel pitty for you, I bet you think you have friends, well if you talk that way around them they really don't like you, and I bet you think you know it all, You do not have the knowledge to judge someone elses creativity and be so harsh about it, and another thing I think you are dumb MO FO !!!!
Don't come back around these parts any more, you obviously don't know a great band when you hear it, your "review" was ANAL and over the top, it does not bother me if someone disagrees, its your opinion, but you do it with such hate and ignorance , were you abused by a TRAIN as a young person ?, very sad..
So please go back to your own world, cause no one on this message board wants or needs to hear your negative vibe.
Sorry you mised the TRAIN, but we don't need your type on our TRAIN ! You are " HOPELESS " !!!

Jason - Thu Apr 12 11:56:07 EDT 2001

Don't worry. I figured it out. It is the same as it has been for all of their concerts. The password is Jupiter. Enjoy the concerts y'all. Rock on Train. See you tonight on the TV and in Chicago in May.

I saw you guys open for Better Than Ezra a while back, and have been craving another live show ever since. I see your May tour dates bring you close to Florida, but you never cross the border! I would love to see you guys come to Orlando, or somewhere nearby, to promote your new album (which is GREAT, by the way!) I am so glad to see that you have become successful. I know that you have been through a lot to get where you are. Don't forget that you've been through Florida, and that you need to come back! Crossing my fingers...

Hey look guys! Now we know Train has hit it big. There are people actually willing to come to TRAIN's message board and leave negative reviews. Must suck to feel that badly about yourself that you don't have anything better to do than follow a band you don't like. I think Train is awesome, and that is why I read this board. I have seen them live 4 times in 2 years. That is not nearly enough, what a great live band. As for the non believers, oh well, I guess you will be whining and crying when Drops Of Jupiter becomes an anthem that will be played for many years to come.

Me - Thu Apr 12 09:29:54 EDT 2001

First of all Daniel let me say you are a f…ing moron. But that is not what bothers me the most. It is the use of the word “ANNOYING” to describe the song. I have found that this is the new trite description everyone uses now when they don’t like a song and it is driving me CRAZY. It is like using those stupid expressions like “ I feel so violated” to describe anything from getting your wallet stolen to having someone pat you on the back. Or that inane phrase “ I find that offensive” when someone says a word they don’t like. PLEASE let’s not be morons and let’s be a little more creative when talking about why we don’t like a song. And man the title of your post. Did you think of that yourself? Have you considered writing for Saturday Night Live? I am sure you are getting email left and right from the producers of that show just by your clever title. This guy Daniel is one dumb mf.

Paul - Thu Apr 12 09:24:20 EDT 2001

Hey guys! You are doing great! Love the new CD! Everyone in Birmingham, AL is
anxiously awaiting your return. See you on May 5 & 6.

Also, heard a rumor you might be at Oak Mtn in B'ham in August. True?

Keep up the great work and try to enjoy your success - you deserve to kick back and soak
it all in! Your huge now - and your fan base keeps growing. You may not get to
slow down for a long time!!!!!!!!!

just wondering...
most bands with big followings have been given some sort of name...ya know, like the Grateful Dead had the deadheads - Buffett's got his parrotheads - phish with their phisheads, etc. etc.
but trainheads doesn't sound right
what are we calling ourselves?
i've heard trainiacs - train rats...
i'll vote for my personal favorite - hoboes
(or is it hobos?)
anyway, people who live on and follow the train line have always been called hoboes and i think that'd be a cool name for your fans...
what do y'all think?

I saw you on Letterman not too long ago, and really liked your performance!! It's not very often that a band sounds as good live as they do in a studio setting... and that means one thing- TALENT!!! I must admit, I had to call the radio station today to see what band did this amazing song I kept hearing on there... I got the name, went out and bought the cd and have listened to it all day! I absolutely LOVE the "Drops of Jupiter" song, and it's one of those songs that you just 'know' you are never going to get sick of hearing. (hope that makes sense!) "It's About You" is a great song, too!

My favorite band of all time is Sting (and The Police, too, of course) mainly because Gordon Sumner's lyrics are beautiful and he has such a distinctive voice... BUT!
Pat Monahan, I think that you have an AMAZING and distinctive voice as well! Your voice is a wonderful and refreshing thing to hear on the radio that sets Train apart from all of the rest! And to the rest of the guys too, Charlie, Rob, Jimmy and Scott-- the music is wonderful too!! (didn't want to leave you guys out!!) :)

I have never posted on a message board before, but I am going to keep up with your site. PLEASE PLEASE come to Kansas City, Missouri!!!! I would really like to meet you!!

A new and dedicated fan in Kansas City,
Stephanie

this song, drops of jupiter, is the most annoying

to a 15 year old lonely girl. it continues to amaze me that bands 'settle' for a sound that will
sell, avoiding at all costs any semblance of artistry. and by the way, geniuses, you are IN

Train's music is something which soothes me, whenever my nerves are just beaten so badly till they're raw or I feel as if someone is ripping my spirit to shreds, somehow, whether I put on the CD or the radio starts playing it.. Train helps take my mind off whats bothering me. It doesn't make it go away.. but for a few precious moments it's as if I have peace. Just no world, no abuse, no torment, no people. Just me and the music. Running away doesn't solve anything, but putting everything on pause helps me keep my sanity.

C Santana - Thu Apr 12 00:05:04 EDT 2001

Just wanted to let you know how this song has touch me...

I would really like to know the motive behind the song as I am in a literature class where we are allowed to share our views and interpretations of songs that we feel need to be broken down as to content, imagery, and what the writer might have been thinking with the men in hand. It's quite facinating what I think the song is about...but I would like to know if I'm even close or just way out there...please let me know if you get a chance...

I love your work and hope to catch you sometime near chicago...

thank you and may God continue to bless your talents...as you strive to inspire others to use theirs.

to repeat such stupidity about the hitler bit shows no class and by the way that favorite song of yours goes "the way i wish you would" please keep it down at the show!

Just about a year ago, as I was driving home from work in Denver CO, I was listening to the radio and caught an interview with the guys from Train. Then they started playing Zepplin covers that were just OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Now here it is, a year later, and I'm living in Indiana, and I find out that Train is coming to Indy on the 28th. Now don't get me wrong, I think they are AWESOME and I love everything they have done, but I am so psyched to see them do those Zepplin covers LIVE that I just don't know what to do with myself!!! ROCK ON GUYS!!

Lisa - Wed Apr 11 23:29:53 EDT 2001

I have to say that I've seen Train play at least 6 or 7 times over the last 3 years and the only get better and better every time I see em! Drops of Jupiter is a song of life! I was a little disapointed though when I found that the lyrics were not included with the cd, but I didn't care when I saw them again live! This time around is even better than last year (and they were amazing then!) The thing that kills me most and is a total highlight during the show is the Zep cover! It says a lot about a band to cover that song (or any Zepplin cover for that matter) and Train does right by it! Lovin' the new cd, but wishin' I had some lyrics!

shpano - Wed Apr 11 22:17:09 EDT 2001

die hard bay area Train fan seeks +1 position to KFOG private show....instead of bringing that person who has never heard of Train before Drops, or that person who only knows the "Meet Virginia Band", bring someone who really knows their music and truly wants to be there!

ok, just a thought...see y'all in Petaluma, L.A., Scottsdale AND S.D. (yes, i did get a ticket - thanks Christopher...you're my new hero!)

kim - Wed Apr 11 21:54:38 EDT 2001

Does anyone know the guitar tab or chords to "Drops of Jupiter"?
I do open mic nights at least three times a week, and would love to do this awesome song one night!

Thanks

Your thoughts .....

I'm a 39 year old guy whose also a muscian (as a hobbyist). I'm an accomplished percussionist and I also play drums which I am having fun bringing it up to my percussion skill level. I think that Scott, your drummer has incredible energy and is a force that impassions your sound immensely. Your band really rocks! You guy's have become my favorite rock band and I want to express that to you guy's sincerely because I really support and appreciate your music so much.

Todays times have really changed in music scene. I can't believe how much, and the lack of quality, that gets all the airplay. In fact, I have gravitated toward the old music (classic rock) because it was a time when it was about real musicianship-true talented groups that actually played their own instruments. Now, music has become so commercialized with over done drum tracks and producers have mastered the art of creating generic pop acts with white people trying hip-hop rap nuances. It is so hard for me to consider today's music as a serious art. It seems more to be of image thing. Kid's today are so confused. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an old fuddy-duddy. It's just that I don't buy the "con" job and brain washing that is now the predominant music genre-Top 40. There is so little quality in terms of what gets surfaced. I use to love the Grammy's when I was kid growing up buy now you've got Eminem competing in the top category of entertainment as Steely Dan!@#!?! It does not make sense. It also all sounds the same and none of those acts can hold their own without the entourage of their image makers. Sorry for the venting but I want you guy's for a moment to know that as hard as you guy's working right now, traveling off your asses, it is appreciated and serving the greater good-people, because your fans love and gain pleasure from the gift of your art. I'm sure that traveling gets old. I use to do it but always remember it is conributing to your purpose.

Thank you guys. For being real, very talented, for being a great band, unique, and making great passionate rock & roll! It is so refreshing. Personally, I participate in two bands. As a percussionist, I'm in a Lite's out jazz band, and as a drummer my buddy's and I learning to play a couple of your song's. Imagine that, your music is so good that other people want to play your songs. Congratulations!!!

Anyhow, if you really read this, I just wanted you know that your music is definitely impacting peoples lives whom are very grateful. I have both your cd's. The new cd is great too. I'm looking forward to catching you guy's perform April 21st for the first time here in my home town San Diego. I expect that you are going to have career shifting and rewarding year, therefore, I am grateful to see you at this point in time at a small venue which is better for sound, intimacy, performance, etc. But you guy's are soon headed for big time because I believe that you are that good ... damn good!

God bless, take care and live with passion,

I lived 3 years in Seattle and became a music addict...a few days before returnig to Spain I listened on the radio to the last CD and went to the store to buy it but it was coming out the 27th and my plane was the 26th.
I tried to find it all over Madrid but couldn´t find anything, not even the first one.
After checking over the internet I couldnt find it anywhere in Europe so I finally bought it in CANADA! and it´s gonna take at least 18 days to get here...When it´s Train gonna come to Europe??
I think they are good enough to make the Top 10...

Enrique Mariñas - Wed Apr 11 18:23:37 EDT 2001

Not sure what to put, but I felt the need to add my two 'sense'. Guess I'll format it in the 'anti-format' and just ramble. Bought the new cd last week; already memorized most of the words. This means I have next to no life, and it also means that anyone around me was assaulted by my horrid singing voice belting out "Come home, today! To stay! The way I wish you were....". Incidently, my favorite song from DoJ is the one above, although I happen to be obsessively in love with them all. I also just got my tickets for the April 20th show in Scottsdale, AZ @ The Cajun House. (I was just told this is Hitler's birthday, and our radio station has already made an odd correlation - 4/20->Hitler->Auschwitz->trains->Train....*hums theme to Twilight Zone*) I'm very excited, and am already exercising my vocal chords to scream like bloody murder. Anyway, enough of my rambling. I'm sure I'll be back, and that no one will miss me, seeing as how you're all probably wondering who the hell I am anyway. Can't wait for the show!

'chelle - Wed Apr 11 17:52:13 EDT 2001

Hi all! Double bonus today - got my tix for the May 2nd show in Birmingham, AL and then got my DOJ CD with the lyric book from UPS. I already bought DOJ the day it came out - just to HAVE it and start listening to it - but wanted the lyrics too. So, I went to AWARE records and they still had some (just FYI for those of you still wanting lyric books). Granted, they're not autographed, but maybe the guys will be kind enough to sign it when I see them. And I still have to get that 2-CD indie press and the bonus DOJ CD that is waiting for me in Birmingham. I will have 2 extra CDs, but that's one for the car, one for home and one for work. Or to give as gifts. Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement with you all. The concert is General Admission so I will be there EARLY and waiting up front! Anyone want to meet up? See you then, Train!

I don't know but I do know this

1. Now 6 2. Tupac Shakur 3. Guinine 4. ? 5. Springsteen Live in NY 6.? 7. Big Punisher

That leaves some open spaces where they could be at least I hope. But I am sure Shaggy is ahead of them as well as Dave Matthews, Dido, maybe Lifehouse and some others. I hope they didn't drop too far. Billboard said only 5 of last weeks top 40 had sales increases.

I love this cd, I was so impressed with your first cd, I was not sure what to expect, but I am so happy with it. On the cover of the cd, there is a disclaimer saying you can return this cd if you do not like it......I doubt you will get any returns....I am keeping mine and recommending it to others. Some of my favorites are, "Hopeless ", "Drops of Jupiter", "Let it Roll", "I wish You Would", "Something More" (I can relate to that one) and "Whipping Boy"....damn the whole cd is good !! I am so bummed that I am gonna be out of town this Friday ( April 13th ) What a great show KINK has put on ( Train, John Hiatt, and Shawn Colvin ) , I love to see YOU guys live, I have seen you 3 times, once with Counting Crows, then I saw you with Ben Folds Five and then finally on your own !!!
The new stuff must sound wonderful live. Please come back soon, on your own !!!
Sorry I am gonna miss the TRAIN ! But I'll have you blasting in my car as I travel to yet another trade show, the new album makes the trip seem a litle more do-able !!!

Thank you for making such a great album!!!
I am so impressed!!!!!!

Hey
Rob, Jimmy, Scott, Charlie, and Pat
It's been a while since I last talked with you! I see you are doing just fine. I love the new record, it is nice to have some new Train material to listen to.
I hope to see you in Petaluma if I can get my hands on some tickets. They were already sold out when I found out you were playing there. Anyhow, I hope to get in the door.
I missed your last BayArea show (Fillmore) The Chicken Pox got in my way. Bummer. Anyway, I hope all is treating you well. Drop me a line if you get the chance.
Take care fellas- I hope to talk to you soon

I was reading the lyrics to the album..Drops of Jupiter..
and the lyrics to "Hopeless"...are frightening.
For the fact, that that is the chapter I'm in in my life. I actually painted pictures for my ex, and he decided that he wanted a "new" life.
And that he wanted nothing to do with anything that had to do anyhthing but him. "You don't need my pictures on your wall, you say you need noone"

Thanks for sharing your gift with the world...
And may God bless your journey, to helping those in pain with your lyrics and music.

Where to start....
Well, your self-titled album 'Train' has been one of my favorites for quite sometime. I listen to it constantly at work. I just purchased your new 'Drops of Jupiter' album and love it even more. You guys are definately here to stay. Thanks for the great listening and don't stop!

Teri Schneider - Wed Apr 11 14:18:57 EDT 2001

You guys are great! My son thinks your great and he's seven! Alltime fav's are Free and If you leave. Everyone of your song reaches you in some way. This summer, please plan to come to Michigan. We would love to see you!

Take Care and God Bless you all

I am a novice bass player (I've been playing almost a year and a half) who is struggling to graduate college. This puts incredible hinderance on my practice time. In only one short summer and one short fall semester, I will finally be a biochemist and as such I will be able to grab a nice 9-5 job. Odd thing is, though, the only reason I look so forward to this is because I will be able to dedicate my free time to playing. What all this is culminating to is that I have been inspired by the way you play, Mr. Colin. Your basslines are rhythmic and melodic, soulful and sensual. I just wanted you to know that and I also wanted to know if you had any advice (musical) for those like me. Thank you and your band for your music as it has truly touched my heart.

Most Sincerly Yours,

Train-
I think you should influence some radio stations to start playing "Hopeless" on the radio. It's one of your best songs.

Canovi - Wed Apr 11 12:06:30 EDT 2001

What a KILLER cd. I've replaced my self titled cd in my car (its been there since 97) with DOJ. I've been obsessed with learning the lyrics & just found them on the website. :) WEEEEEEEEEEEE

You guys are the best. Keep up the AWESOME work. and Kudos to you for getting Chuck Leavell to play on DOJ. EC being another of my Favorites :)

Train_Rat - Wed Apr 11 10:15:53 EDT 2001

I am sure many people are wondering the answer to why TRAIN kicks ass, and I honestly dont know. They just are. Maybe its sexy Charlie Colin, or the wonderfully originality of the voice of Pat Monahan, but all in all, they are the bomb diggity (which im sure most of the people reading this know). I hope that some member of TRAIN actually reads this cause if they did I think I would die. I love you guys, and if you are reading this right now, email me. Cause it would mean alot. Ill see you at ur May 19 concert in DC. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!! RE
ps. to any of the train guys I didnt mention: Dont think that makes you any less of the bomb, cause you are all wonderfully wonderful in your own ways!

RUBY DOOBY DOO - Wed Apr 11 09:35:26 EDT 2001

You guys are AMAGING!!! Drops of Jupiter has got to be the BEST song I have heard,
so far this year. I'm a DJ in pubs and bars around in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and I put your song on for the last song of the night,
on Saturday last week. Anyway, the whole place was just rockin'!!! EVERY GUY AND GIRL were totaly going at it to your song! SWEEET!!
What a great song! Way to go guys! Hey! I saw you guys on Much Music the other day. Your
little interview on FAX was really interesting.
Keep it up guys!

It has been a really long time since I have heard the quality music that Train has produced. "Drops of Jupiter" has it all. Great lyrics, vocals, instruments,arrangement, all put together with a tight band and great tune. I first fell in love with this song and bought the cd and found that all the other songs were great as well. Bought tickets to see Train at the Starfish Room in Van on Easter Sunday and found out today that it was postponed. Very dissapointed but I'm sure it will be just as great in May. Thanks for giving us the gift of your music. See you in Vancouver!

If anybody gets an inkling go to the Rolling Stone magazine website and write a review on the Drops of Jupiter CD (www.rollingstone.com) preferably a good one. I plan on writing one. There is one their already by a fan named Kari. She gives it a 4.5 out of five and compares them to you guessed it ... The Counting Crows.

Sam - Tue Apr 10 20:47:05 EDT 2001

Hello Train -
My girlfriend Katie and I are huge fans of Train and have been anxiously awaiting your return to the Motor city. We were overwhelmed with joy to see that you were playing here in May. Unfortunately you are playing on the night of our Senior Prom. We spent hours debating on what we should do and finally decided that prom is a once in a lifetime event so that won over you guys. although we are deeply saddened in the outcome we thought we would ask you fine gents to change the date of the concert, or possibly swing by to my house after the concert to play a special performance. I know this might be just a dream but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask. Please respond quickly -

Thank you for your time -

Chicky (or anyone else), I want to TRADE. No cash involved on things you can't buy anyway. I have a nice Train catalogue that might be getting fatter soon...

I'm with you Brain (or is it Brian?), NO SOLO SHOW IN DC?
Where are you at, around DC, or in it? I already have tickets to the Cook Off and the Electric Factory (Philly). Might see ya there.
Then again, by the time they come on, I might not be able to see...

CJ - Tue Apr 10 17:39:20 EDT 2001

Rather upset to see that Train booked a show in Rhode Island on 5/20. Was holding out hope that you guys might take that day to stay in D.C. and play the 9:30 club again, or somewhere where you were the only band. The Chili-Cookoff will be great, actually exceptional this year because of you, but it looks like I'm heading to Philly also. I guess that's not bad. Enjoy the show RI.

Why are people wasting their time on this site bitching about a misunderstood lyric
(only misunderstood by the deaf, mind you),
and a band that hasn't been relevant in music for 16 years? (Sorry, Wildman, but it's true. By the way, it wasn't Happy Gilmore who loved VH, it was Robbie Hart, the wedding singer. )
There's so much more to say about the new CD, or even the first CD, while you're on here.

Anybody have any live/rare Train to trade? Or any other cool live/rare music?

CJ - Tue Apr 10 16:51:28 EDT 2001

I am totally laughing that the lyrics say heaven and not Van Halen. Wildman, you are a friggin

some other VH lovers.

Happy Gilmore doesn't love Van Halen.
Robbie Hart, the wedding singer does, or shall we say DID, as in they are done and over,
just like this board should be with the talk of Van Halen.
With so many good things to say about Train's new CD, and even their first one,
why is everybody wasting their time bitching about a band that hasn't been relevant to music for 15 years?
Sorry Wildman, but it's true...

Hey, anybody have any cool Train live/rare to trade, or other cool live/rare music to swap?

Lets be quite clear here. If anyone is classless, it is Wildman. Why come onto a site designated for a band then only talk about another band....go to a VH site and have your kicks and giggles there little man. Train rocks the soul in a way that VH could never do!

Peace Out to all the Train fans!

Pearlbean - Tue Apr 10 13:43:35 EDT 2001

Kimberly Sinkula - Tue Apr 10 13:34:20 EDT 2001

You're right Sweetcheeks. The new VH sucks! The last album was an embarrassment. Train is way better. But they did have a nice run with both Dave and Sam. And Sammy has gone on to do some cool things while Eddie is sitting at home being a crybaby.

Wildman - Tue Apr 10 13:08:49 EDT 2001

Van Halen has nothing to do with this page. Who cares what you did or have done with Van Halen........They haven't done anything recently. They can't seem to keep the singers with the band.

Sweetcheeks - Tue Apr 10 12:46:22 EDT 2001

For those of us who couldn't get connected to the Yahoo sever ... Any other juicy stuff "heard" on the live chat last night?

Amy Jo (A.J.) - Tue Apr 10 12:46:19 EDT 2001

I'm sorry to see that Train fans are apparently such a classless lot! Because they don't like Van Halen or disagree with someone else's opinion or views, or maybe they don't support free speech or the entertainment value of internet boards, they seem to think it is appropriate to harass people by sending them junk email and signing them up for junk internet services.

So much for the spirit of a good rock and roll band. The concerts and shows I go to are made up of a lot of people who just want to have a good time together enjoying a show. I wonder if a Train concert is the same, or if all the fans are insulting and harassing each other.

To those of you who feel it necessary to use such tactics... have some balls (or lips) and just email me directly with whatever you have to say. At least you'll be a Train fan worthy of dignity and respect. Get in the Ring!

Wildman - Tue Apr 10 11:53:02 EDT 2001

Happy Gilmore thinks VH Rocks!!!

Wildman - Tue Apr 10 11:18:47 EDT 2001

I haven't said anything about poetry or eloquence because I thought it wouldn't be appropriate for this board or in reference to this band (or Van Halen for that matter - even though they do rock). But since the louse brought it up...

Your attempts to impress are sort of lost if you have to put the meaning of your archaic words in parenthesis for people to understand.

I agree though, it is very sad when beautiful lyrics get swept aside and forgotten. In fact, it sometimes even brings a tear to my eye. However, in this case, I think I will make use of my broom.

The real irony here is that you see yourself as knowing anything about poetry or eloquence when you can't seem to write even a short comment without giving everybody headaches!

Cheers.

Wildman - Tue Apr 10 11:17:54 EDT 2001

Ok-- So I'm finally going to see these guys!

Even though they are not the true lyrics,
Van Halen IS overrated.
So adjust your spandex, tease your hair, and shut up all of you whining people.
"Oh no, how dare they say that about Van Halen, boo-hoo..."

In the immortal words of Happy Gilmore -
"Gold jacket, green jacket...WHO GIVES A SHIT!"

Your thoughts
THIS CD IS SIMPLY OUTSTANDING,TRAIN IS WHAT THE EAGLES WERE TO THE 70S!!! NEXT TIME HOW ABOUT A DOUBLE CD!!!!!!!CAN`T GET ENOUGH TRAIN!!!

Your nameALLEN - Tue Apr 10 09:43:14 EDT 2001

I love your Drops of Jupiter CD. Its like waking up from an 8 year nap. I can't possibly say which song is my favorite, they're all great - the lyrics are fabulous!
My favorite line in Drops of Jupiter is "Can you imagine...Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong" Thanks, your
CD is special.

Lisa Marie - Tue Apr 10 09:33:02 EDT 2001

I find it funny how everyone tries to convince everybody else of what the best song is, when you know it's usually the one you're listening to at the time... off of either album!
Although I am partial to "Getaway".
"...Seemed like forever" gives me chills.

Take care all of you Train fans. Good to see you're out there...

CJ - Tue Apr 10 09:23:40 EDT 2001

Train and Matchbox Twenty together? Who headlines, Matchbox Twenty? I hope not. Dig them and all, but Train should get more stage time. Still, an excellent show. Can't wait.

By the way, does anybody actually look up to the header on this website. I see so many people asking how to find things like lyrics and tickets and, "uh.. does anybody know where I can find tour dates?", when it's all right up there at the top (Home/News/Tourdates, etc.). It only takes a second to check it all out.

CJ - Tue Apr 10 09:19:41 EDT 2001

i just saw an interview on MuchMusic with the band where they showed
some video clips of *drops of jupiter* and i LOVED what i heard! as well, the song *hopeless* is excellent :O)
good music is refreshing! keep up the good work :O)

LeeLee - Tue Apr 10 09:02:35 EDT 2001

According to Pat's comment on the chat last night, Train will be touring with Matchbox Twenty in August and September.

Jason - Tue Apr 10 08:23:51 EDT 2001

When is train going to come and tour in the UK.

You do have fans not only the USA and Canada!!!

Lawrence - Tue Apr 10 08:03:49 EDT 2001

Where can i buy train tickets on this site? i need to get a return from Newcastle to southampton

Bob - Tue Apr 10 04:17:19 EDT 2001

You know what just tickles me? The fact that a vapid (misheard) statement like "Van Halen is overrated" could evoke such acerbic villification, when the real lyrics that "Heaven is overrated" are so eloquent and poetic, but just get swept aside and forgotten.

Talk about under-rated!

Ahh, there's some delicious irony in that one!

bitinglouse - Tue Apr 10 03:07:33 EDT 2001

Although I was not really interested in Train all that much until you came out with " Drops of Jupiter", now that I bought the CD I can't seem to take it out of my CD player. "Hopeless" has to be the closest song to my life that I have heard in along time, and I just wanted you to know how much I love this CD.

Beth - Tue Apr 10 02:42:08 EDT 2001

My thoughts exactly!

melodies - Tue Apr 10 01:30:53 EDT 2001

Thanks Tyler! Anything else interesting discussed? DAMN, I wish I could have caught that!

melodies - Tue Apr 10 01:03:25 EDT 2001

Just listen to this song on repeat 34 times,it will never die.

vic @the BISTRO - Tue Apr 10 00:33:39 EDT 2001

In the chat Pat said they would be touring with Matchbox 20 but I didn't get when.

Tyler Durden - Tue Apr 10 00:01:40 EDT 2001

I couldn't get to the chat, either! Poo! Well, if TRAIN memebers read this, know that I am regretful that I couldn't be there.

Iris - Mon Apr 9 23:19:39 EDT 2001

Has anyone heard any dates and locations yet?

melodies - Mon Apr 9 22:36:05 EDT 2001

I never could get into the Yahoo chat! Did anyone get in and did anyone think to copy it? Wes, I keep hearing that rumor, but I have not heard it from an official source. That would be such an awesome concert! I just saw MBT Sat. but if train is opening for them this summer, I feel a road trip coming on!

melodies - Mon Apr 9 22:35:15 EDT 2001

yeh- in August they'll be touring with Mathcbox 20!!

Your name - Mon Apr 9 22:27:28 EDT 2001

Anyone else getting kicked off the server for the Yahoo live chat?

Anyone else getting kicked off the server for the Yahoo live chat?

Amy Jo (A.J.) - Mon Apr 9 21:13:52 EDT 2001

ok- I think you should try http://chat.yahoo.com, and then choose Train's chat!! I tried it and I'm waiting to get on, so if you figure anything else out let me know!! I hope it works!! Good Luck!!

Carey - Mon Apr 9 21:03:58 EDT 2001

Hewwos...

Seeing that the Yahoo! chat is starting in 10 minutes and I'm somewhat lost as to where to go because when I click on the link at the front page, it takes me to this page where it doesn't have a link to the page where the chat it ocurring. Help?

magick - Mon Apr 9 20:43:21 EDT 2001

Hey thanx for writing....I looked and there is no ird near me. I would
really like those songs. I was refering to the Live from Fantasy studios cd.
If there is another one, I would like to get my hands on it. No I don't
have the "drops" cd with the 2 extra songs but i do have sweet rain on my
"one and a half" cd. if you could please send me those songs i would gladly
pay you the 5 bucks. thanx alot.

jason - Mon Apr 9 20:25:02 EDT 2001

Rock and Roll Baby!!! Swan - check out VH's cover of LZ's Rock and Roll!!! Now that's how a cover should be done!

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 20:02:37 EDT 2001

ya know wildman. I would have to agree with you on that one.
Steve, lighten up!

Wahoo - Mon Apr 9 20:02:08 EDT 2001

Swan - did you know that Swan Song records did some of the zeppelin albums? Is that why you are Swan?

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 20:00:57 EDT 2001

Steven - what makes you think I am a teenager? I am 38 years old, I own EVERY Van Halen CD and was a Lighting Grip for their 1986-87 5150 Tour...so kiss off! The guys are awesome and Van Halen rocks!!! You're just a loser who thinks he's cool slamming other people on this board.

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 19:58:51 EDT 2001

Wildman - This website's lyrics will tell you. But yes, Van Halen rocks.

Tyler Durden - Mon Apr 9 19:51:14 EDT 2001

Wildman - This website's lyrics will tell you. But yes, Van Halen rocks.

Tyler Durden - Mon Apr 9 19:44:34 EDT 2001

They do a few Zep songs, but they are most famous for Ramble On. Truly an amazing experience live. Check'em out if you get a chance.

Kevnn - Mon Apr 9 19:43:06 EDT 2001

Listen this Wildman is just a teenage boy playing on the internet. He knows what the lyrics are he is just doing what teeny bop boys do in their spare time. Ignore him. I guarantee you he doesn't own one Van Halen CD anyway. They were way before his time. Again ignore him please.

Steven - Mon Apr 9 19:35:07 EDT 2001

So you don't even have the album? Nice call. Well, like the others have said, check out the lyrics.

Kevnn - Mon Apr 9 19:34:58 EDT 2001

what song does train cover by led zepplin?

Swan

Swan - Mon Apr 9 19:32:22 EDT 2001

Tyler - I will check the lyrics when I find them. But I've seen lots of lyrics printed that didn't match the song...so I tend to rely more on what I hear.

The important thing is that VAN HALEN ROCKS and anyone who doesn't like them doesn't rock.

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 19:31:27 EDT 2001

"That heaven is over-rated" Check Train's lyric page. It's not too hard to do.

Tyler Durden - Mon Apr 9 19:31:12 EDT 2001

Kevnn - I will listen on headphones. But I don't own any, so I will have to buy some and then wait for it to come on the radio (I don't own the album and as long as they are slamming VH, I never will!)

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 19:29:03 EDT 2001

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 19:27:11 EDT 2001

This board needs a moderator to keep people like Wahoo from posting! He makes a mockery of all of us!

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 19:25:25 EDT 2001

hey ya know what else wildman? later on in the song, they also say that "twinkies are sacred", and "my levi's are faded".
its diabolical i tells ya!

wahoo - Mon Apr 9 19:16:27 EDT 2001

I laugh harder at your post than I do at the song! You should be a stand up comic. Try listening one more time with headphones. You'll hear it, trust me. "That heaven is over-rated"

Kevnn - Mon Apr 9 19:09:54 EDT 2001

Wahoo...maybe you should listen closer!!! What are you doing here anyway? Nobody wants you here!

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 19:05:08 EDT 2001

HA HA HA is right!!! Only a band that doesn't like Van Halen would write such stupid lyrics!!!

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 19:03:09 EDT 2001

I did listen to the song!!! And it clearly says, "Van Halen is over-rated"! And the point is that they are dumb!

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 19:02:01 EDT 2001

I just listen to the song and laughed! It's funny to think they'd say something about Milky way, jupiter... and Van Halen!!! HA HA HA!!!

Kevnn - Mon Apr 9 19:01:51 EDT 2001

uh, hello, wildman? do you even know what the lyrics are???
the line is "..heaven is overrated."
maybe you should change your name to Dumbass.

Wahoo - Mon Apr 9 18:59:19 EDT 2001

The point is that they didn't sing that. Take a look at the lyrics and listen to the song.

Kevnn - Mon Apr 9 18:57:47 EDT 2001

I don't see how slamming Van Halen equals brilliance! Train is pond scum compared to Van Halen! I just can't believe they thought people who'd like Train music wouldn't like real rock and roll.

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 18:56:12 EDT 2001

That was a good one. "Van Halen is over-rated"
In light of all this reunion crap, it would've been brilliant of Train to sing that!

Kevnn - Mon Apr 9 18:56:02 EDT 2001

What does Train have against Van Halen? Why do they have the lyrics "Van Halen is Over-rated"?

Van Halen is one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever!!! (except recently with their last album and all)

Who the hell does train think they are? Slamming VH like that!!! I like Train's music okay, but I'm going to boycott the hell out of them for this!!!

Wildman - Mon Apr 9 18:46:50 EDT 2001

That's pretty funny. "Van Halen is over-rated".
I'd say with VH delaying this whole reunion thing, it would've been brilliant for Train to make that reference.

What a jerk!!!

Kandi - Mon Apr 9 17:44:22 EDT 2001

Rob-You wouldn't know a good band like TRAIN if it hit you in the head! You must have a lot of wasted negative time in your "So Called" life. You really do need to grow up!

Rob SUCKS!!!! - Mon Apr 9 17:43:40 EDT 2001

Dear Train,

Please come to eastern Canada! We love you out here and no good bands ever come here even though we really support rock music. Anyways I'm just a Train fan, I really like your new single, Drops of Jupiter, and you should think about us maritimers when you plan your next tour dates.

Henri LeBlanc - Mon Apr 9 17:07:44 EDT 2001

Hi Guys. I just bought your new CD yesterday and wanted to say it's great. I haven't listened to a band that I've enjoyed as much since my teenage years (I may even have to become a groupie). Anyway, good luck with your tour and hope to see you in New Jersey.

Lina

Lina - Mon Apr 9 17:02:11 EDT 2001

Hi,
I just returned from a business trip to find my new Train CD waiting for me (thanks to Amazon.com). I must say I LOVE IT! Hope to be lucky enough to see you in person in the near future!

Elizabeth - Mon Apr 9 16:14:52 EDT 2001

I saw them on Rapid Fax today, and that is how I know about the website. I had heard the song(Drops of Jupiter) about a million times on the radio, but I never knew who sang it. I am definelty going to go out a buy they CD as soon as I can.

Jennifer - Mon Apr 9 16:03:02 EDT 2001

How old to you think the Black Crowes are Rob? The are 40 somethings you sad sack of shi*

Orthaneal - Mon Apr 9 15:53:51 EDT 2001

I just heard the song "Drops of Jupiter' on the radio a while a go and thought it was a classic instantly. Then I saw the band Train on Much Music and they mentioned there website so I had to check it out. I just wanna say that this band is great.

shannon - Mon Apr 9 15:44:34 EDT 2001

Loved every cut on last CD. Didn't think it was possible to beat! Drops of Jupiter is just as entertaining. Can't wait to see y'all in Austin on the 26th!

Redonda - Mon Apr 9 15:26:34 EDT 2001

Dear "Rob" (the author of the latest entry),
I guess you have nothing better to do with your time
than to find train's website and say mean things...
what a loser you are... and why am I wasting my time
bad-mouthing you? Good question. Don't be such a dick.
Grow up.

Brooke - Mon Apr 9 14:58:31 EDT 2001

Rob, you are a complete Jackass and you know it. Why would anyone care about your lose
opinion?

Love the new Cd...cannot stop listening to Hopeless. The whole CD is excellent. I am off
to buy the first Cd soon.

cat - Mon Apr 9 14:55:32 EDT 2001

I am blown away. As a fellow songwriter, and a rock critic guy for my school newspaper,
I just can't say enough good things about this record. It's amazing.

And here is the topper. From a song writing perspective, I don't think I have heard an
album this good since the Counting Crows released August and Everything After.

You should be proud.

Scott

Scott Clark - Mon Apr 9 14:55:30 EDT 2001

When I first heard your pathetic song on the radio, I thought it was a good band, like the Black Crowes, but when i realized that it was just a band made up of 35-somethings with no talent I just laughed at how much of a joke you guys really are. Youre shit, and you know you are
