charlene - Wed Apr 4 15:33:41 EDT 2001

I was lucky enough to win tickets to the show you guys did in Chicago and absolutely fell in love with you all. Was not really a fan till then. Your tour dates don't list a date for here. Are you coming back? I would love to see a full show.

Thanks,
Becky

Becky - Wed Apr 4 15:08:31 EDT 2001

I LOVE DROPS OF JUPITER, AND EVERY SINGLE OTHER SONG THAT YOU GUYS SING. I COULD LISTEN TO YOUR CD'S FOREVER... I ESPECIALLY THINK IT'S SO COOL THAT YOU GUYS WRITE YOUR OWN SONGS...

I was at the taping of The Doors VH-1 Storytellers in Los Angeles and Pat Monahan really filled Jim Morrison's shoes!

I enjoyed the performance and the once in a lifetime chance!

Thanks!

Hey guys. My brother works for Sony Music and introduced me to you about 2 years ago. You guys are really talented and I enjoy your music tremendously. Your new record which I have now will be a big hit I think.

Are you planning on any show dates in the Boston area at some point soon?

jeri - Wed Apr 4 08:58:24 EDT 2001

Train's new song is awesome. I love it.
and if anyone else here is interested in opening to hear awesome Canadian rock, pick up finger eleven's "the greyest of blue skies" or head over to www.fingereleven.com for more.
they awesome. I think many fans of train will like em.

Drop of Jupiter is a great song. I really like it. Its on the top ten at ten in edmonton Canada

Nadim Chin - Wed Apr 4 01:43:57 EDT 2001

I just wanted to let all of you know about a band called Another Man Down. They are from Atlanta GA. Their new album "Dangerous and Close" is due in stores on April 24th...but you can preorder it at the website. You can also listen to full length Real Audios from the album. www.anothermandown.com) There is even a guest appearnce by Butch Walker of the Marvelous 3. (Another Atlanta Celeb).
I have seen them live and they are GREAT. I can't wait to get their new CD. If you have any questions feel free to email me at glazerman@mail.hartford.edu

Jon Glazerman - Wed Apr 4 00:27:01 EDT 2001

I first heard the new music on Mark and Brian and I wrote down the album title so I could go out and buy it. I was so disappointed when I found out it wasn't out yet. I bought it the first day it came out and I love the music,Thanks Train!

Rod Morris - Wed Apr 4 00:08:02 EDT 2001

The way I discovered this band is actually a little odd -- I saw them play a couple of songs from the
studios of CNBC (while I was watching the noon time market recap). I thought having a band
play on CNBC seemed a little weird but I was mesmorized by the sound. The self-titled album
ended up making my album of the year selection for its release year, particular favs included
Free, Homesick and Eggplant.

I am so psyched the new album is out and can't wait for it to burn out my CD player. But I wish
band would spend more time in the Northeast!!! A college-town like Boston would LOVE to
see some live shows!!! Please come up this way soon!

Steve - Tue Apr 3 23:49:14 EDT 2001

I was so impressed with your latest cd that I had
the music loaded onto a small disk which I had implanted in my brain. The songs brought so much joy into my life. I found that I no longer obsessed about every little thing that effects the economy like I used to. I even turned my new friend George onto your tunes one morning after an all night bender. He liked the music so much that he too had the disk inserted in his cranium. The problem is that the damn things have now become stuck on a permanent loop and I am having problems concentrating on anything but your music. I feel that the economy may be suffering as a result. George totally started wigging out last night when the song respect finally sent him into a flashback and he started ranting about how nobody respects him etc.. The next thing I know he is on television threatening to attack China. We love your music but I feel we have become a little excessive in the amount of time we have dedicated to enjoying these incredible songs. I felt I should write and warn any other fans that may have been planning to have this music put on a mini-disk and inserted in their heads. It is not as great of an idea as it sounds at first. P.S. if any of your sound guys knows of a way that we can get these disks off of permanent loop, we may be able to save our economy and democracy as we know it.
Your biggest fan Greenie

I have 2 tickets for the show in Portland, OR on April 13th at the Keller Auditorium I unfortunaltly need to sell...... They are in Section D (one section right of center), Row N, Seats 5 and 6, in Orchestra D. They cost $50 each. So, if any of you guys want these just e-mail me.

Thanks much.

Besides that I didn't listen to anything else but DoJ since I got the CD (Sorry, but I always have to take things to their extreme) ... I was just wondering what else you are listening to ... other bands and artists one really HAS to know?

And I was wondering: What is being said about TRAIN? (@ Jim Henley)

There isn't anything else I could think of right now ... so, take care y'all ... and tell others about the things you've found ...

Love, Queen

Queen of Rain - Tue Apr 3 20:08:35 EDT 2001

If anyone out there know where I can find the lyrics to "Drops of Jupiter" please email me with the address, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Your thoughts

The entire team that makes Train the band they are today deserves to give themselves a round of applause. A job very well done. I have listened to the Drops of Jupiter CD numerous times and after each listen I think the same thing.....classic. I was introduced to the Train sound through Mark and Brian. I have since been inrigued by the sound of the band. I then listened to the Doors tribute album, incredible!! I wish to introduce your team to our team. I am a member of the Rettig band team. A nine piece rythem and blues rock and roll band that is giging in Los Angeles. Train is playing at the House of Blues on April 19th. We would love to be the Cinderella band that opens the evening. Our sound is big a Hammond B3 serves as the back bone of many of our tracks. We love your band and would like to do the honarable t6hing by offering to open for you whenever you play Los Angeles. Our CD is done and we can let you take a listen. If you dig good Rhythem and Blues Rock and Roll it will not disappoint. I would really like to hear back from you. You have no idea what is being said about you right now. Rock and Roll looks forward to Train becoming a pillar in the community. -Jim

jim henley - Tue Apr 3 19:29:45 EDT 2001

First of all---you guys are some of the most talents songwriters out there, I love your songs not only for the beat/tune/feeling...but also for the words--straight from the soul...that's why i love your songs so much! anyways, your song and other artists like you are what have become my inspiration in discovering song writng. I've been writing for only a few years now just for the heck of it and have about 35 or so songs completed...now what? I'm very interested in making this a profession and wanted to know if you knew what I do with them. I'm afraid to just put them out there without a copyright, so if anyone could just link me a sight where I can get some info on how to get started-it would be greatly appreciated!
Love Always....Sades

Precarious girl,
stumbling wandering, not quite sidewalk-anchored
seeing the late, gold sun
with eyes shut and face wide open.
I smile inside
-the force of your young song-
and only the slightest twitch as I see, through you,
the arounds and in-betweens
of the bustling, sightless worker people
the Un-Grinners
who shield their closed hearts from a
song-studded dazzled girl's face.

hey guys, the best show I've seen in Memphis was you guys at The Daisey Theater about a year ago. Hopefully you'll make it back around this way sometime soon. Someone told me Bob Dylan wrote Drops Of Jupiter .. any truth behind that?

Whats up guys? My name is Neil, and I first saw you guys open up for Better than Ezra in Va Beach @ Peabodys. That was a killer show. Ever since then I have been a big big Train fan. So, you guys need to get back here ASAP. I mainly remember Charilie and Scott, hanging with us. And threw the entire show, Charlie was wearing a white cowboy hat that I wanted, and we all yelled "CHARLIE KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!" AND HE DOES. So, please get back here when you can. Scott was nice enough to give me some drum sticks. You guys were just too cool. So, please come back to VA, and always remember CHARLIE KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Scott, you are the man

Neil - Tue Apr 3 13:30:03 EDT 2001

Train~
The first time I heard your C.D.self titled, I had the songs ingrained in my head for days! Yesterday, I bought the "new" one, and again you got into my head. You guys are awesome!
I was at your concert in Chicago in December. I was in the 5th row and so desperatly trying to get your attention. I knew all of your songs(except the new ones, which I love now). You were the reason I went to that concert. And I haven't been to a concert in 15years. Hope that doesn't date me.Despite the younger kids around us during the concert(there for Everclear) I had an awesome time. My only wish was I could be on stage with you. Nonetheless, you guys are awesome! ROCK ON!
Let me know when you come to Michigan.
Namaste`

Carol Lozano - Tue Apr 3 11:32:38 EDT 2001

dear god, the new cd is excellent. here in texas last night...the air was thick and warm, humid, the wind rolling - a tangible, visible thing. a night (first in awhile) for open doors and windows, lemonade, porch chats on lawnchairs, and good music. thank you train, for making the perfect music for last night, or any night/day for that matter. the new cd is even better than the last...thanks for such a great album. i'll catch your act in austin or dallas, hopefully! (you better not be one of those sucky live bands). :)

amber - Tue Apr 3 10:55:57 EDT 2001

Can't wait to get "Drops of Jupiter". When is the German release date? Keep on rockin' - you've got lot of fans in Europe too! Connor.

Connor - Tue Apr 3 10:53:57 EDT 2001

i heard your music on the internet, i love it! trouble is im in the uk i really want a copy of the cd and id love to see you guys live, so, come to the uk please!!!!

Anthony - Tue Apr 3 10:52:37 EDT 2001

I am a new convert---I always liked "Meet Virginia" but didn't know much about the band...I just heard "Drops of Jupiter" and I am hooked!

I'll take Pat Monahan's permanent scar any day!

Valerie - Tue Apr 3 10:19:57 EDT 2001

After hearing Drops of Jupiter on the radio I went in a mad search for the cd. It had not been released yet:( I got one of the first copies sold on the day it came out. (second only to store staff) This is the best album I have heard in a very long time. The music is strong and tight and the lyrics touch the soul. It's tough to pick one but I think my favourite track would have to be "Let It Roll". I am now playing this album non-stop and making everyone around me listen too. Congratulations on a job well done. I look forward to seeing a live show so please come back to Toronto soon. You just rocked on Letterman. I found out about Lee's Palace after the fact:( I wish you great success and thank you for this album.

Leanne - Tue Apr 3 10:09:01 EDT 2001

I was wondering if anyone knew how the whole onsale thing is going to work for the Indy show. I plan on going, but Ticketmaster says that the tickets go on sale on April 9th. The school says that they don't know anything about it. I have been a Train fan for a while now (addicted to the live shows) and want to see the Indy show.There are no Michigan shows scheduled, which would be a little closer to home. Can someone please help me?

Jason - Tue Apr 3 09:40:44 EDT 2001

You guys are great, we can't wait until you come back up to ROCHESTER, NY. We'll be watching and waiting for ya. Drops Of Jupiter is great, of course. SEE YA

Hey guys, I messed up. I didn't make the trip to your conert up in minnesota when you were with...tonic i think last fall. Anyway, I wanted another chance to see you guys live. I tried to get your tour dates and locations but the web site wouldn't let me for some reason. I am from Omaha Nebraska. Thanks for reading, love the new CD. Patrick

Patrick Flynn - Tue Apr 3 06:47:03 EDT 2001

I saw you guys live at "Mississippi" Valley and in Rockford IL, Awesome!!!! Thank You so much for the music....I didnt think it could get any better until I picked up Drops of Jupiter..blew me away. Cant wait to see you guys again...

Nathan Bauer - Tue Apr 3 05:10:31 EDT 2001

My recent x-boyfriend of 9 years sent me an email about the Drops of Jupiter song. He said that it reminded him of me. So I got it and listened and really cried. It wasn't just about me. To me, it sang about us. Our paths have separated because I want to 'find God' and he wants to 'just be normal'... Might not even be what the song is about but sure bears a close resemblance to how we are right now. It is incredible to have a song that we can share while we go through this rough time. It reminds us that we are not alone in this experience. Thanx.

Tina - Tue Apr 3 04:38:15 EDT 2001

I'm a new fan to this group. I must say that I generally don't like things from this era of music with everybody screaching and preaching and cussing, etc....
You guys are refreshing. Music the way it is suppose to be. I even suggested to Peter Frampton that you guys would be a great band to have on their tour in the near future.
I'm hoping to catch your show at the end of the month in Indiana.
Keep it coming guys....you sound great, lyrically, and musically.
Thanks

Kathy - Tue Apr 3 03:17:27 EDT 2001

Iris - Tue Apr 3 02:07:10 EDT 2001

Can I just tell you that I think you guys are completely talented and just amazing.
I don't think I've ever played a song so many times in a row. I really identify with the song Drop of Jupitor. So much so, that I've almost neglected the rest of the CD as of yet.
Amazing.

Andrea - Tue Apr 3 01:24:12 EDT 2001

Just wanted to say that this cd is one of those rare "finds" and I appreciate finding it so much. I have been a fan since your first cd. I was in Va then but now in Idaho, I tell everyone that they just cant live without this newest cd. I love every song. I have to play it at least once a day to get through! Thanks so much and hope to catch a show soon. I had to work when you came to Norfolk, Va last year. I should have skipped work. :+)

If there are any Train fans in Boise, please write me. I'm new here and you can't be all bad if you love Train!

Janie in Idaho - Tue Apr 3 00:30:10 EDT 2001

I just wanted to drop a line and say how much I love this new album. I saw an interview with you guys on MuchMusic and you said that you were impressed with the amount of people writing to say they love Drops of Jupiter. I'm not surprised at all - it's the best CD I've heard in recent memory! Thank you for writing such beautiful songs and sharing them with us!
Take care fellas!

Clare Conway - Tue Apr 3 00:01:28 EDT 2001

I've been hearing your song for a little while... and WOW!
I just loooove it! It tok a while for me to lear who was singning that song...
now tha I know I"ll just have to buy your album!
Once again : WOW!!!! I so love the lyrics, the music... the everything!!!

Karo - Mon Apr 2 23:54:50 EDT 2001

I'm really upset I couldn't get tickets to your fan appreciation show at the Park West in Chicago. I thought those tickets were for fans and considering I'm your (Train's) biggest fan I was pretty upset. I just have to practice dialing the radio station faster which was the only method of getting tickets to this show. Anyway, I really love your new album, I'm glad "Hopeless", from the "One and a Half" album is also on "Drops of Jupiter" - it's my favorite.

Thanks for your great music.

Debbie - Mon Apr 2 23:17:55 EDT 2001

Hi i was just wondering if u would be comming to Canada, Ontario i like the music u guys play

Re: Charlotte, NC May 7 at the Tremont (sounds like Fremont) Music Hall

Hey... unfortunately I'm in Rochester, Ny and don't see my wee town on the list of tour dates. I'm coming to Charlotte for the show... should we start a big rendes-vous for fans that don't have a show in their town! Who's in. By the way... great to see the new CD. I have listened to the old one a thousand times imagineing what a new cd would sound like... Really, great job. See you in NC???

Scott - Mon Apr 2 22:37:38 EDT 2001

Will you be comming to Toronto Canada..or Buffalo N.Y. i live near both and would love to see ya live?

Doug - Mon Apr 2 21:59:03 EDT 2001

Finally have the new album in hand! I've been a fan for years . . . see you guys every time you play the Fillmore. The recent show with Glen Phillips was truly excellent (I'm a Major Glen/Toad fan as well). Can't wait till your next show. Congrats on DOJ it is a beautiful, rocking thing.

Just ordered one ticket for this show ... if anyone else is going, let me know cause I hate going by myself, but I don't know anyone else who knows TRAIN. (What a shame!)

Ooooh, I'm sooooooo excited ....

Queen of Rain - Mon Apr 2 20:50:36 EDT 2001

Just ordered my ticket ... I'm on spring break next week, and I wanted to go to San Francisco ... I guess, four days must be enough then, since I gotta be back by April 12 ... but I guess that's worth it, isn't it?

I'd love to e-mail with some of you, too ... if you want to, just go ahead. I check my e-mail at least once every day ...

I wish I could see the Crows in SD, too, but I'll be gone by then ... I even had someone order a ticket for me. We've never met each other, but he's just the cutest ... anyway, it's really cool to find a couple people who like the same music ... honest, I've always believed that if there's one thing that could change the world for better, it would be art ... DoJ makes me believe in that again.

THANK YOU ...

Hey your song Drops of Jupiter is a song of a lot of meaning to me and I wanted to compliment you on it. Im a 14 year old boy from Hawaii. i like your music a lot and so much want you guys to tour here in Hawaii but that will probely never happen right? So How did you guys get started? I think all of you are very talented especially the lead volcals Pat Monahan, you have such a nice voice. Well anyways I hope you guys become really BIG and maybe someday come to paradise, Hawaii!!

Hey, this is Mike from Stamford, CT. I doubt this message will get o anyone that is affiliated with Train but just in case it does, I was wondering if Train was going to be in CT any time soon. They totally should. i WANNA SUGGEST THE William Pitt Center at Sacred Heart University. Its awesome. 3 Doors Down, Fuel, and Vertical Horizon have all been there. I really wanna see Train in concert. Thanx

Mike - Mon Apr 2 18:59:37 EDT 2001

hey!!
i just wanted to say i love your band!!!...but was dissapointed when i saw the tour dates, the only NY show i missed, and there's not another one insight...the closest is DC...not very close. I've been waiting to see you guys ever since meet vigrina came out, a long time ago...and even want to see you more, b/c i got a taste of you guys personality from recent TV shows and stuff, and cant wait to see you in concert...but so far that not possible, b/c you're not coming to NY again, and what about those people that don't live close to NYC?...where are they suppose to go see you? So just thought i'd write and say give us more NY dates!!!!....theres a demand for it :)!!!

Your thoughts
I'M A DJ. WE'RE TRULY A DYING BREED, BUT THE REALLY COOL THING IS WE GET THE CHANCE TO HEAR NEW MUSIC FIRST. WE HEAR THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE HORRID. THESE DAYS, SO MANY ARTISTS SOUND LIKE THEY CAME OFF THE SAME OLD ASSEMBLY LINES, BUT LISTEN, PEOPLE, THIS NEW TRAIN CD IS SOMETHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM IN ATLANTA. YOU CAN BET I'LL BE ONE OF THE FIRST ONES THERE SINGING ALONG, AND I'LL BE BUSY IN THE MEANWHILE SINGING THEIR PRAISES...ON THE AIR!

Dear Pat And Ginean:

I never did get your new address Ginean, and oh yes, Hello finally! I'm not sure if this will end up finding you. I'll give you my new address (Jill is with me too, and Puppy) which is 70 South Roop St., Susanville, CA 96130. I have so much good news to tell you, and I would really like to hear how Patrick and Emelia like it back east. Guess what? I passed that damn algegra class and am now doing statistics. I applied to Chico State for this fall too. Please get in touch, we miss you. Love, Kelly (and Jill!)

kelly Hadveck - Mon Apr 2 17:06:36 EDT 2001

Hi Guys! First time I saw you was in Fairfax, CA. Remember Broadway 19? Well, I was there grooving to your sound then, some 4 years ago (Already?) and bought those 5 song tapes you had. Wore those out just when your first cd came out! Good timing!
So now after listening to your DOJ cd I couldn't stop smiling or looking at that signed lyric booklet! Thanks guys and Tower! You are all so polished! Pat, your tone in your voice is above amazing, it is like a mist that hovers over every line. Can't wait to see you guys at the Fillmore again! I was there for your last show when you first sang DOJ! I have been waiting with baited breath since! See you at the Mystic Theater on the 18th! Kudos to you guys for keeping it real in such a sell-out business! Say, I am sure that I am not the only fan that would LOVE to have a "Live" cd in their collection of your songs! Any hope of that ever happening??
Enjoy your success, you have worked hard for it!

I know I'm a little late with this but I just picked up Drops of Jupiter and all I can say is WOW. What a great CD! Thank you guys so much for the great music. I especially like Whipping Boy. Can't wait to see you at Irving Plaza in NYC.

I really wish you would add some tour dates in the Rhode Island / Massachusetts area. I remember seeing you live twice, on the same day, on June 4, 2000 (two radio shows) and you were AMAZING. I would really like to see another show.... :)

Ashley Iasimone - Mon Apr 2 15:39:15 EDT 2001

No worries - glad to offer what little info I have.

Maybe it's very wishful thinking and maybe I'm going out on a huge limb, but the Counting Crows are playing a venue in San Diego July 6 with a guest TBA ... hmmmm. Would that just be THE BEST?!

Amy Jo (A.J.) - Mon Apr 2 15:18:05 EDT 2001

I was afraid it would be sold out by now, but when I tried to get tickets through ticketmaster, I couldn't get any at all. And I tried a lot ... Anyway, thank you, A.J., for telling me about the Late show performance ... the sad thing is thatI'll leave California in two months, so I won't catch the Tonight show ...
BTW: I'm from Germany. They don't think of doing a European tour anytime soon, do they? (Do You?)

And I'm glad, I'm not the only one obsessed with TRAIN ... I haven't been listening to anything, but DOJ since I got the CD last week ... Seriously, I'm a huge Counting Crows fan, that's how I got my first TRAIN song ... and I never thought anyone would come close ... I think I have to correct my opinion on that. DOJ, by far, is the best song I know ...

Thanks again ...

Queen of Rain - Mon Apr 2 15:04:04 EDT 2001

Thank You! When are you coming to Toronto?

Dear Train,
I saw you guys performed at David Letterman. I didn't know what to expect at that time, I have totally no clue of you guys... BUT, but you guys melted my heart...!! That song, "Drops of Jupiter" is just beautiful.....!!! You guys were awesome in that show!!!
After that, I opened my e-mail and started e-mailing my friends (who are mostly overseas) so that they can check you guys out!!!

and heard you guys...you sounded great!!Well that is about it...oh yeah and i am
sure you have heard this a million times but what is once more...?I LOVE THE
NEW CD!!!!Thanks for you time

Katie Pastor - Mon Apr 2 13:37:54 EDT 2001

Got your first CD, play it everyday, LOVE it!. Got Drops of Jupiter a few days ago been playing it every chance I get-even on my computer, It is awesome!!I can't decide which song is my favorite! Thanks for making such excellent music for all to enjoy! See you guys in Austin. Thanks for coming to the "Live Music Capitol of the World" Can't wait.

Lee - Mon Apr 2 12:57:49 EDT 2001

Not sure of any of the band members are reading this but, I didn't see a date posted on the site for any venue in Northern California. My whole family goes crazy and suddenly starts to get a boost of energy when you guys come on the radio with any song! It would hard to pack them all up and go to LA or San Diego!! How 'bout a show in Sacramento???? I'll keep looking for it!!!

Thanks guys!

Raj - Mon Apr 2 12:53:49 EDT 2001

Hey all! Love the new CD! I'll be visiting Atlanta next month, the same time you'll be performing at the Music Midtown Festival...LUCKY ME!!! Can't wait to experience Train live. See ya then!

LizzyBeth - Mon Apr 2 11:13:42 EDT 2001

The new CD is mind-blowing... I can't stop listening to it. Glad to see you guys didn't fall into the sophomore slump. ;)

PurlJAmber - Mon Apr 2 10:02:55 EDT 2001

I couldnt wait to buy the new album. I was so pumped I bought a tape and cd of the new album(since my cd player went out in my jeep. so i could hear it in my car on the way home back to Knoxville) Drops of Jupiter brilliant song. I'm also very fond of Mississippi and Something More. Keep up the good work guys! Think about coming to Knoxville, TN one day..huge fans up here...will be seeing you at River Stages in Nashville

Phil & Jodi - Mon Apr 2 04:38:53 EDT 2001

Dear Guys,
Just wanted to say it took me all of about two years of my brain nagging me to finally buy the first album, and all of one playing to love it. I ended up picking the Drops of Jupiter CD up today as well, and I am so totally blown away. You guys are really terrific and I just get goose bumps everytime I hear Drops of Jupiter, which is one of the most beautiful songs and most definitely, one of the best written songs that I have ever heard. I can't wait to see you guys in Austin.

Jeff - Mon Apr 2 03:59:43 EDT 2001

Patience pays off....the new cd was worth the wait. How about playing some venues in Jersey, NYC area? Train is taking off here like a jet!

CCinJersey - Mon Apr 2 00:45:40 EDT 2001

I've known about this band thru my best friend. I generally like the harder stuff. You know, Pantera, Deftones, Soulfly..etc.
I saw the video on MTV today and directly went and bought the CD.
Drop of Jupiter is a lyrically a kick ass song from get-go. Thanks guys....I needed this one!

It shows that talent can win every time. I have your self titaled CD cause it's good music. Saw you in Toronto last year... hated Pat's cocky attitude. Love Drops of Jupiter....won't be seeing you live.

Disk Jackie - Mon Apr 2 00:20:11 EDT 2001

I don't know where I was last summer to have never heard the band "Train" before but I heard "Drops of Jupiter" today in my car and I went in to shock. What a moving and powerful song, it gave me chills. I loved it. The song just sounds so sweet and the lyrics are beautiful.

Erin - Sun Apr 1 22:17:57 EDT 2001

I saw Train at the Minnesota State Fair in August. I loved them. I watched them on Letterman the other night too, still loved them!!!

Kitty - Sun Apr 1 20:51:02 EDT 2001

Hey there!
Well I have to admit, that I haven't been that big of a fan till just recently. Well I really, really like "Meet Virginia", but I didnt have the c.d. But then in January Pat came to my class and talked(my chorus teacher Bruce Yates nows him. And I have been a total fan since then! And I baught the c.d. and listen all the time! But I just wish that you would be coming to the area, even Pittsburgh or Buffalo! Well Good Luck on your tour! And Pat maybe you can stop by GM the next time you're home! byebye!

Julie B. - Sun Apr 1 20:50:50 EDT 2001

Had to wait 4 days after the new release of "Drops of Jupiter" before I could get my own copy.

Best Buys told me to come back in a week....all sold out in Atlanta area... went to a BIG MALL, and found one out of 3 left.

One week after its release and all sold out! Coincidence? I think not. See you guys at Music Midtown, and hey, if you ever record again at Southern Tracks, can I hang with ya'll? Multi-media part of the CD is excellent, and I can throw a decent basketball.... Brendon is a genius and you guys DO rule!

Lorrie - Sun Apr 1 20:06:57 EDT 2001

hello fellow train fanatics. I have no clue if any of you in or affiliated with the band will read this but...here we go
I live in Erie PA...the home town of the your favorite lead singer and mine...I have noticed that on the tour listings my itty bitty home town is not there. I just want yall to know, there is still much love in this town for ya. PLEASE come back soon. We have been going through Train withdraw here. Your playing at x-fest but (which i will attend) but we need to see you up close and personal, know what i'm sayin. The closer the better.
new album is grand.......best of luck to you all (not that you seem to need it)

Anyone know if there is a UK tour planned ? Watched Train on Dave Letterman the other night and was really impressed, powerful voice !

Andy - Sun Apr 1 17:06:02 EDT 2001

Your thoughts
Im a tour pro(golf) that does'nt have alot of spare time but I do listen to your music often. I recently heard your new release 'Drops of Jupiter' which is outstanding ! What I wanted was a general interpretation of the lyricks of the title song. I recently lost my mother and the song seems to have some direct connections. Could somebody give me alittle more insight into the premise! It is greatly appreciated
Thank you for your consideration!
Keep it up the great work!!!

Please! Please! Please don't get the big head to where you have to break up the band or go on a drug binge so you all have to find something else to do to make money. Don't do like all of my favorite older bands. I love TRAIN's music! Be like the Stones and just stay chilled with each other! I think you are all musical soul mates so there is a Divine incentive you need to consider.

Thanx,

I'm only hoping that you'll tour this area again! It's good to see that you are ganing so much popularity, you deserve it. Good luck with the tour, have fun and
keep sharing the love!!

WHTG 106.3 Eatontown - Neptune, NJ., has been playing your new single for about 3 months. Great song, caught my EAR the very first time I heard it....!!!
Now I hear it on WDHA 105.5 Dover, NJ., TOO.

Know you guys played NYC on 3/27 - Special Promo only for fan-club members & couldn't get tickets.
Saw you on Letterman the following nite & your performance kicked ass, SOUND was awesome.!!

Picked up the NEW Album on Friday & it won't came out of my CD player, think I need to p/u other copies for my car and the office...really enjoy "Let it Roll" - listening to it right now on my computer.
Keep up the GOOD work....best rgs, MH

MickeydaHook - Sun Apr 1 13:15:28 EDT 2001

You should be releasing SOMETHING MORE
as a single....my favorite song on the new CD
after DROPS of JUPITER, of course.

Will see you at the Mystic

I saw you in cleveland last year, and was wondering if you plan on returning to Cleveland and/or Columbus? I really like "Drops of Jupiter".
Hope to see you guys live in Ohio.

Guys...Got your cd yesterday (finally). Had to go to a couple of places before I could find a copy (sold out)but I guess that's great for you all. I've listened to it in its entirety and it's great. Of course "Drops of Jupiter" is superb...I also love cut (8) "Something More". Keep up the good work. Gotta get some of Picasso those t-shirts..real cool! Mindy (Alabama)

Hey Guys,
I'm a big fan. My name is Luke and I'm from Houston Tx. I just want to let you guys know that I am a huge fan. Whe y'all first came out with "meet virginia", I knew it was written about someone you knew, but it can relate to anyone who likes the song and wants to relate with someone special. I absolutely loved the guitar solo from "meet virginia", but why did y'all have to cut the last part out? That was my favorite part. The wah-wah-wah-wah-dooooo. It was excellent guitar picking. I'm a huge fan and me and my friends are huge fans. We would love for you to play at our senior prom and we WILL PAY GOOD MONEY!!! We have it if you want it. We have been saving and you guys are worth it. Please email me if you are interested or if you just want to talk at HardDisk88@aol.com. Thanks guys talk to you later. LUKE

LUKE PROVENZANO - Sun Apr 1 03:25:27 EDT 2001

just wondering:
why did y'all re-record "hopeless"?
surely it belongs on DOJ
but i fell in love with the version on the EP
it is more stripped down and sounds lessed produced on the EP... and better...the vocals, everything...didn't see the reason to monkey with it...if trainiacs could compare the two, i bet more would agree with me...either way, ultimately it's yet another great song from the best band out there today

peace

be dissapointed at all

I'm just writing to thank you for such an incredible album. I've got your first CD and the EP, and they're great. "Drops of Jupiter," however, is incredible. It's been in my CD player since i picked it up on tuesday. I've played it for my friends (some of whom listen to mostly rap and r&b), and most of them plan on buying DOJ now. It's great in these times to hear a band with true musical talent and originality, not that cookie cutter sound. Keep it up!

I heard train on Letterman for the first time and immediately wwent out shopping with friends in told them all about it.We listened to the entire cd three times and found it to be simply great.A news paper was sitting on the table and it said that train will be featured in Nashville at a festival and we decided there is no way we are missing this soulful music live.It is about time a band with unique amazing talent has come along.all my friends are hooked along with myself.
Can't wait to be there. Annette

Annette - Sun Apr 1 00:07:31 EST 2001

I just want to say that I have fallen completely in love with Train. I've been with them since the beginning and with each new release I am reminded just how amazing they truely are. I am listeing to Drops of Jupiter right now as I type and there is no greater sound. Can't wait to see you guys in concert again...come to Philly soon!~!!!!

Well, well, well. David Letterman, eh? CHARLIE, it feels REAL good to watch it arrive, bro. Real, real good. Yup. Congratulations mister. Dedication rules the day. I should mention your singer came across fantastically, both in vocal and performance. It appears the shuttle is ready for launch. I miss Brett. Windowpane crossover-section. Vegitarians don't eat meat. I was drunk. My van burned up. Whatever happened to Skip? Canes Bar and Grill, April 21. And I'm tremendously proud of you, man. Quit satisfying.

I know there were rumors for quite awhile that the band wouldn't stay together, I'm really glad that you all decided to hang in. The new CD Drops of Jupiter is fantastic...The harmonies are great. Take it from someone who has NEVER felt compelled to write a note of appreciation. I always thought it was for kids. But Pat and the rest of the band deserve recognition for coming out on top!!

B. Denney - Sat Mar 31 20:33:38 EST 2001

Emily - Sat Mar 31 20:27:57 EST 2001

First of all, I have to say Thank you! In a time where music is filled with throw away pop bands and songs lighter than a summer breeze along comes Train! Finally a band that has some real talent and something real to say. The first time I heard Drops of Jupiter I thought to myself WOW!, that is music. The song is amazing, and truly rivals those of days past when music was music! take care!

Show at Bowery was great. Sorry you guys couldn't take time to hang-out. That would have been great.
I know the promo road can be tough. Your music has inspired me, distracted me, changed my moods and offered me hope.
I've travelled miles and seen you guys 3 times. Each time as great as the last.
Looking forward to East Coast shows.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you in on this new band who has just been added to Aware Records (the same record label that signed Train back in the day). They're called The Establishment and they have a similar sound to Train. Check out some MP3's on their website at www.establishmentmusic.com

I honestly feel really stupid posting in a forum lol, but I had to tell you how much I love the album. I enjoy every track, and you have no idea how rare that is for me. I new I loved your first album but wasnt sure of what the second would bring, alot of bands cant deliver the second time around. It's a test of true talent, and you passed big time! I look forward to hopefully being able to catch you guys in concert. Rock on! =0)

Therese - Sat Mar 31 17:38:23 EST 2001

Just had to drop a note to tell you how much fun I had at the Chicago show at the Park West. What a pleasure to be able to hang out & meet the band after. I think it's great that you guys do things like that. Thanks for the time & the autographs. What a great show! I've been talking about it all week. I saw you guys twice last year & can't wait to see you again in May. I finally picked up my reserved copy of the new album & love it man. I do have one question. On the Letterman show was Paul Shafer playing to fast? Why let him play piano on that tune? Anyway keep up the good work. Have Fun! Love Drops of Jupiter!

Phoo - Sat Mar 31 16:35:16 EST 2001

That's all I can say, WOW! Drops of Jupiter may be the best album I own. Not one bad song, NOT ONE! I have no favorite song on the cd, because I love them all. And every song is so well constructed musically it's unbelievable. Columbia Records knew what they were doing when they put that offer on the CD; no one is going to send the cd back for their money. I hope Train doesn't release anymore singles from the album because it's just to perfect to have any song seem better than the others. They're all incredible.

this song is out of this world(yeah from Jupiter*L*).i can't remember crying upon hearing a song for the first time.wonderful,excellent,perfect...i don't have the word to explain the beauty of Drops Of Jupiter.do you have a word to describe this beauty???

~grey sky morning~ - Sat Mar 31 15:44:37 EST 2001

YOUR NEW RECORD IS HOT! YOU GUYS ARE MY FAV BAND. KEEP MAKING THOSE CD'S. I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD DO A REMIX OF MEET VIRGINIA ON THE NEXT ALBUM. THE CD HAS A GREAT SOUND. CANT WAIT TILL DROPS OVER JUPITER WINS A GRAMMY FOR SONG OF THE YEAR.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT MUSIC
TYSON, OREGON

TYSON - Sat Mar 31 14:50:27 EST 2001

I seen train last summer, at the Basilica Block Party in Minneapolis for the first time. They make some great music,they have very tight sound and feel to them. Great Band. Keep it up...

Ryan - Sat Mar 31 14:41:23 EST 2001

You know what I love about this music? Living in Nashville, definitely first and foremost is the use of various instruments--really demonstrating range. But most of all, it has to be the realistic lyrics with a sense of rhythm and intonation that is spellbinding. I am always hooked by a lyricist/vocalist that is so distinctive that by merely hearing their voice, there is a sudden sense of reminiscent melancholy...taking you back to a moment that seems so vivid...again. Like a "replay"...so to speak. Pat Monahan's distinctive voice has the same pull for me that I feel when I listen to Dylan, Van Morrison, Steven Tyler..or even Steve Perry---definitive Train. Enough...
obviously, I love it! Thank you.

Caroline - Sat Mar 31 13:00:23 EST 2001

I just really want to tell you guys that I *love* the new album. I've been a big fan of yours since the first time I heard "Meet Virginia", and it always seems to me that, when I like a band, the next CD they release just doesn't do it for me. I bought "Drops Of Jupiter" the day it came out, and I was honestly blown away. It's great. Your music has always been a refuge for me when life gets kind of bad, and I just want to really thank you for that. You guys are unbelievable.

A Fan Always,
Kurt

Kurt - Sat Mar 31 12:23:40 EST 2001

Great Job on the new album. I just want to remind you that you have plenty of fans down in South Florida. We feel a little neglected since a bogus Hurricane watch cost us a show last tour. I bet the new songs sound great live. I'll keep checking the tourdates.

Got my personally autographed ltd. ed. lyrics booklet today for being among the first 400 to preorder "Drops of Jupiter" !!!! YES! That & the new CD very well worth the wait...thanks for taking the time guys!I have loved this band since the first time I heard them. Only great things in store for these guys & their fans!

Susan - Sat Mar 31 07:20:10 EST 2001

I just saw you on the Mike Bullard Show (you are GREAT live!), am waiting (tho most likely in vain) to see if I've won tickets to a show happening tomorrow @ Lee's Palace (I think?) and hoping that you'll come to Canada (more specifically, Toronto) over the summer! I haven't gotten your album yet, but I'm really, really hooked on Drops of Jupiter. I've heard the samples offered on your site, and that has convinced me even more to buy your album. The only thing holding me up is the cash - I've been indulging a bit much lately, but I think I'll do it again. DoJ is worth it!

Ada Wai - Sat Mar 31 02:15:05 EST 2001

I totally fell In Love w/Drops Of Jupiter. I went out and got the CD. Great stuff Man! I'm wonder'in about tour dates. I've heard your from No. CA. Me Too. Good Luck! Great show on Dave.

Just bought it...love it.

Gayle - Sat Mar 31 00:16:39 EST 2001

The new record sounds great. A little more produced and mixed than the debut. Please stay true to the music. I fear the Edwin McCain disease. Don't let Columbia make your albums. YOU make it. Continue to ROCK.
I think I'm movin' to Idaho.

Matt - Sat Mar 31 00:14:46 EST 2001

The new record sounds great. Please stay true to the music. Don't follow the Edwin McCain theory..."I hit with a ballad now that's all I write." Please continue to ROCK. Thanks.
I think I'm movin' to Idaho...

Matt - Sat Mar 31 00:08:58 EST 2001

Hey guys,
I highly doubt you would remember me from your National Anthem singing days, but as I walked through the mall here in Denver, I couldn't help but reminisce...I saw your new CD, which I am listening to as I type this, in the Sam Goody--right up front and center and of course I purchased it immediately. But what I recall is you sitting in the box at Mile High after singing the National Anthem for a Broncos game and then singing during half-time. I was the person who booked your performance--the one with all the radios and head sets on-- and even though I got bitched out from Shanahan because he said his players couldn't hear him in the locker room during the half time performance, I was laughing inside. And of course, the weeks after, the players couldn't get enough of your CD. They were all coming to my office to get the sound of your beautiful music. You have come a long way since those Mile High days and even though I am no longer with the Broncos, I won't soon forget meeting such a nice group of guys with incredible talent. Thank you for your sound, mysticism and for giving a chick from Cali songs that bring me back to my childhood in the good ole Palisades! Congrats on all your success and future endeavors. I look forward to seeing you in Colorado again.
Aloha,
Britt

Just found a recording of Train at the Metro in Chicago from 3/14/98 listed on
Rolling Stone.com; the full address to bring up the info is:

http://www.rollingstone.com/videos/playvideo.asp?cid=351&cf=3298

(the show even has an early song called, "Flatfoot' near the end of the set.)

Emjoy!!!

Gary Enerson - Fri Mar 30 23:25:05 EST 2001

Hey guys! I just bought your new CD today and I love it just as much as the first!! My boyfriend sort of introduced me to your music and I was hooked the first time I heard "I am"--by far my favorite of your songs...although "Hopeless" is a close second! I would love to see you guys live...I'm hoping to catch you in Charleston in May...you should definately visit NC (We'd love to have you in Wilmington!!) And anytime you're out surfing the web check out WWW.CATCHINGRED.COM
You're garunteed to love this band!!
Keep up the great work! You're music is an inspiration to us all!!

Allison

Allison - Fri Mar 30 23:22:32 EST 2001

I was impressed by the new CD and also the refund offer on the CD if you didn't love it. How could anyone not love your music? Your first CD spoke to me when I needed it the most. Eggplant is one of my favorites. Let me tell you something, I took my boyfriend to your concert last year in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and turned him onto your music too. In fact, we are still together! Thanks for the great tunes and lyrics, hope to see you soon in Tulsa! Cindy

Cindy R. Smith - Fri Mar 30 20:59:55 EST 2001

TV appearances - In the band bio, there was a blurb saying Train was on Leno, Conan and Kilborn before making the new album. I only know of the Conan appearance....what are the dates of the other two appearances? Did they play Meet Virginia?

Drops of Jupiter - Oh wow. New album lovely. Anybody think that on Respect, Pat Monahan is a dead ringer for Robin Zander?? Btw, I totally don't get the Black Crowes similarities.

Website - Kudos to the webmaster. I love this page. The images load up soooo fast, no Javascript and no Shockwave to bother with. Excellent design. Yum.

Scott Underwood's bio - That was hilarious. Write more!

bitinglouse - Fri Mar 30 20:55:40 EST 2001

Your thoughts
This is the first time I have been on this ride so I don't know where it goes! I wanted to get the word to the members of Train that Massachusetts is dying to have them back. Last year,2000, they were at the Eastern States Exposition and I missed them because of night school. I could shoot myself!
Also, kick ass new cd!! Looking forward to getting the two non-released songs!!
Our own band is practically a Train cover band just from the old album. Now I'm trying to convince the guys to do "It's about you," my personal favorite.
That's it for now!
Kelly

Kelly - Fri Mar 30 20:24:36 EST 2001

HI! I HAVE BEEN A BIG FAN FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW. I HAVE YOUR LAST C.D ,WHICH I LOVED, AND I JUST GOT THE NEW ONE YESTERDAY. I LOVE IT! I PLAY IT NONSTOP! I JUST WANTED TO SAY GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU! YOUR MUSIC ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL GOOD. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

I think that your song"Drops of Jupiter" is a really great song. I compelety fell in love with it , and as soon as i cd came out i brought it!! Even though i am young I can compelety relate to it!! i just wanted to let you guys to know it!!

Write me back @ partygrlmegz@aol.com

Meghan - Fri Mar 30 19:58:42 EST 2001

i just watched it at this site in this tiny itty bitty screen i love it :D i can't wait for it to be played on aussie tv so i can see it on a grander scale

clare in oz - Fri Mar 30 19:56:04 EST 2001

So...

I just found acopy of DROPS OF JUPITER with two bonus tracks:
"It's Love" - a new tune which has a kind of Rage Against the Machine feel to it and
"Sweet Rain" - a cut from the "One and a Half" internet only EP released a year ago.

Both tunes are great for the die-hard TRAIN fan.

Now, it seems that the deal is that this is a release exclusive to independant record
stores (I picked mine up at a place called Record Breakers, in Hoffman Estates -
a suburb of Chicago). You will need to hunt around for it at your local indie record
store but they are out there.

Later...

Gary - Fri Mar 30 19:41:22 EST 2001

Whether you know it or not, you have come up with the best song of the year DROPS OF JUPITER and the best CD. Every song on it is great.
Look forward to seeing you at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma in April and at the Warfield in June.
TRAIN rocks!!!

joel - Fri Mar 30 18:02:46 EST 2001

Ok, Drops of Jupiter is the greatest song ever... but i cant quite figure out bass line... ARGH if anyone can help, PLEASE EMAIL ME!!! Thanks alot

Blake - Fri Mar 30 17:51:30 EST 2001

To: "Queen of rain" - Yes - House of Blues is sold out... sometime yesterday.
I am pulling out a favor from a friend who has connections at the HOB. I'll
let ya know if I hit the jackpot. In the meantime, the tickets to the Late, Late
Show are free - just go to www.oncameraaudiences.com. Also, the tickets to
the Tonight show in June are free - you have to write for those. I purchased
tickets yesterday for the show in San Diego - it's only 2 hrs away and it's a
Saturday.

I've been so obessesed lately with Train, my brother actually said to me, "dude,
you're a mess". LOL!!

Amy Jo (A.J.) - Fri Mar 30 17:26:42 EST 2001

Does anyone know where One and a Half can be picked up?? Is it in stores or was it some sort of limited edition-thing? What's the deal?

SB799 - Fri Mar 30 17:17:15 EST 2001

Guys...ya'll are really talented. I love the CD. I've never really been into music like
what ya'll sing. I've always been into the harder stuff...like Pearl Jam and Nine Inch Nails
but when I heard Drops of Jupiter and Virginia...I just fell in love w/ the music. Keep it up.

Ps: I know you probably have nothing over it...but ya'll need to come to Arkansas(Little Rock).

Lynn - Fri Mar 30 17:12:28 EST 2001

Hi!

I just wanted to let you know, that I am impressed with your CD.........I won your CD from a radio station here in Appleton Wisconsin, and it came in the mail...........I've listened to the whole thing 2xs and love it! I am from the 70's/80's music era and am into the 70's/80's but I will definitely keep on listening you you! You have a great thing going and I am going to pass you on! Keep up the great work!

Your name - Fri Mar 30 16:12:10 EST 2001

I have been a TRAIN fan since their debut album was released! The songwriting and musicianship are AMAZING! I think TRAIN is one of the few "new" bands that deserves to be around for a while! I couldn't wait to get "Drops of Jupiter" and it hasn't left my CD player in days!! TRAIN rocks!!! Keep it up guys!!!!

Marty - Fri Mar 30 16:01:09 EST 2001

I think that "Getaway" might be one the best songs I've ever heard in my entire life!!!!

Heather - Fri Mar 30 15:56:11 EST 2001

wondering about north east tour dates, are there any for the summer 2001? got hooked on "virginia" in seattle off of an acoustic radio album, DoJ album meets/exceeds first release. feeling jilted in vermont. we need good shows! tweeter or spac will do. keep me posted.

Ryan Navin - Fri Mar 30 15:24:37 EST 2001

I have to agree: It is the most beautiful song I've ever heard, too. The album is great too. I found it yesterday, and I just had to buy it ...

BTW: I was trying to find tickets for the band round LA ... Are there still tickets available for the House of Blues, Hollywood, or is it already sold out?
It would be great if anyone could help me ... Even if I had tickets, would they let me in at all cause I'm not yet 21?

Anyway, DoJ is amazing ... The song makes me cry every time I listen to it ... THANK YOU.

Queen of Rain - Fri Mar 30 15:02:26 EST 2001

Hey Guys,
WOW! Where do I begin? Drops of Jupiter is absolutely a gorgeous song. But I have to say the entire CD is awesome. I was blown away when I read the Columbia Records disclaimer. They are right...I love this CD. I purchased this CD first thing Tuesday 3/27 and listened to every song 4 times before I could stop the CD. I was mesmerized by every song. If you knew me very well I am one to purchase a CD for a hit song listen to that song until I am tired of it and the CD goes on the shelf. My husband took it to work with him the next day and listened to you guys for over 12 hours. I thought your first CD was good but you have outdone yourself on this one. We look forward to future music from you guys. Keep up the good work. Wish you the best of health, wealth and every other good thing that could possibly come your way. You truly deserve it. We are hoping to see you in concert in Atlanta, Ga in May. Hopefully you can come to the BI_LO center in Greenville, SC soon.
A true fan,
Sue Atkins

Sue Atkins - Fri Mar 30 15:02:16 EST 2001

Pat, Congratulations on DoJ. We stayed up and watched you on Letterman and have seen the video. We hope to get to a concert in the future (We will be part of the Sindelar group.) Congratulations again! the ODells (Whitehall)

Just wanted to say that when I heard the song DOJ about a month ago on the radio, I was mad that it hadn't been released yet. It finally arrived yesterday.(pre-ordered on amazon.com)Fantastic!

rhett - Fri Mar 30 12:47:44 EST 2001

hey tom if your such a train fan then you would know that the truly faithful all got lyrics books by preording the cd and insuring the great start of the album sorry buddy, some of them were even autographed. better luck next time. check out homesick for lyrics (go to links) and check out val browns site and be nice

p.s. pandering for the freebies is so unbecoming

True Fan - Fri Mar 30 12:14:26 EST 2001

Jeff Dunn - Fri Mar 30 10:23:11 EST 2001

I just got my copy of DoJ last night when I picked up my mail and have been happily Train dancing since!!! ;-)

What an awesome album - to heck (stronger language deleted) with U2 and their $47-$140 ticket prices!!!

I can't wait until Music Midtown in May!!!

Janet Myrick - Fri Mar 30 09:59:05 EST 2001

Just wanted to post and say what an excellent job I think Train has done on this album. I picked up the CD last night after being blown away by the single and you can feel the energy they put into every song. Now if I could just catch the video on Vh-1!
They did an excellent job on Letterman too! :)

Kim - Fri Mar 30 09:48:09 EST 2001

Jennifer Love Hewett (I don't think I spelled that right) was on the show before train was! :D

- Fri Mar 30 09:04:35 EST 2001

What? No, I didn't say anything... j/k
You hear the single and I can bet you'll wanna get the album! :)

last night for the first time on Leno and was blown away! Great sound!

Knowing anyone on this board must have excellent taste in music and appreciates the bands today who have great talent in this day and age of computerized fakes "britney, backstreet,n*sync, so on and so on. I would love to encourage you guys to check out Sister Hazel if you haven't already. Their latest realease "Champange High" is totally awesome. Their more poplar that you might know is "All for You" or "Change Your Mind". They are a very talented group from Jacksonville, Fl. Check um out at sisterhazel.com or on all three cd's, self-titled a.k.a. "little white album, "Somewhere More Familar", and latest, "Fortress". Thanks for reading and thanks to Train for letting me post here. On their site is where I learned that "Drops of Jupiter" was realeased. Read some of the posts on sisterhazel.com about Train and you'll know we have great taste too!

Kristi - Fri Mar 30 00:08:42 EST 2001

After I heard this song, I knew I HAD to have the Cd, well after getting it today, I was so right. It rocks!! Thank you for your music. It is very uplifting and I love the song Hopeless - it would be a great next release!! Keep rocking you guys and come to Memphis, TN!!

Kristi - Thu Mar 29 23:48:01 EST 2001

It really sucks when I spend $16.99 plus tax for my Train CD and discover that once again there are no written lyrics printed in the Train CD case. Whats up with that crap. Train is one of my favorite groups, but it seems petty to exclude the words to such good music! Please E-MAIL all lyrics to me, since your site does'nt have a print all lyrics icon. please reply with answers or just send tickets (back stage passes)to you're next concert in OK. ARK. MO. area.

Tom StarkYour name - Thu Mar 29 23:29:53 EST 2001

Train rocked the Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS. on their premier aware tour to an intimate crowd. By intimate I mean that my best friend and girlfriend and I were the only ones in attendance that weren't affiliated with the radio station promoting the tour. We drove through the aftermath of a blizzard for 2 hours with no heat to get to the show just because I won tickets (worth all of 1.07 apiece). It was worth it.

A couple of years later, Train returned to the Bottleneck to face a sold-out crowd. I got to touch Pat... tell me that's not damn cool. They rocked the place... Truly the best show I've been to and would love to relive it, alas it seems KS or MO isn't on their tour this time around :( Please reconsider Pat and Co. ! Didn't we treat you well?

chocodog79 - Thu Mar 29 23:25:39 EST 2001

Last night on the east coast i realized that train may be on Letterman. I watched for a little to see what the line up was going to be. To may satisfaction train was going to be on. The thing is i fell asleep and woke up just as Pat sang his first note. I was still half asleep but was wide awake in seconds and couldnt fall asleep again for sometime after. Pat was 3 grades behind me in grade school at Our ladys Christian elementry. he was a little twerp (lol). As we got older we were both involved in the Erie Pa. music scene. When he was with local Erie bands Rouges Gallery and X-It I was always in ahh when i saw him play out. His voice was excellent then and is even better now. Its good to see he still calls Erie home. After last nights show he made me become a die hard Train fan. Now i cant wait to drive down to Pittsburgh in May to see Train play at the Pepsi Amphitheter(sp). Rock on Train!!!

Mike F. - Thu Mar 29 22:04:03 EST 2001

As said a hundred times on the board, the Letterman performance left little to be desired. Y'all are so talented! I got to see you guys at the Southern Tracks show in Atlanta. What an awesome experience! I believe every performance I see will floor me. Y'all are truly the 'total package'! I can't WAIT to see you back here in May!

I noticed that Sean Hurley is mentioned in the "thank you notes" in the new album and was wondering if it's THE Sean Hurley (I'm hoping that I'm hinting this well enough) and if so, what's his connection with this album?

magick - Thu Mar 29 20:47:27 EST 2001

Well first of all, I was wondering if Train would be coming to Michigan anytime soon? Second, on the Matchbox Twenty message board I read a post that Train would open for Matchbox Twenty in Aug/Sept. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Katie - Thu Mar 29 20:02:39 EST 2001

I've only heard "Drops of Jupiter" on the radio. But I'll be buying this album within the next 24 hours.

When I first heard this song, I thought it was either Rolling Stones or Aerosmith. Couldn't really believe it was the Stones; 'cause this is too cerebral fro their style (but then again, they made You can't get what you want).
After being tormented by the crap and the mediocre noise that is being passed off as music over the last decade, I believed that good rock music met its end with the 80s.
But this one song burst into my life with a glow that is so refreshing. It's pure genius. I have very little doubt that the people who can make a song like this made a great album too. Am off to the stores.

Congratulations Train. Remember that you have reached astonishing heights with this song and will keep in mind the same standards in your future body of work.
Please don't sell out - Maintain your divinity and bless us with your creativity.

Not since the Bodeans "Say about Love", Inxs' "Don't Change", or The Tragicly Hips "38 years old" has there been a song that has touched my soul the way "Drops of Jupiter" has over the 31 years of my life. You guys are awesome, and I can't wait top see you when you come back through Saint Paul, MN. Keep up the good stuff!!!

Troy - Thu Mar 29 19:31:10 EST 2001

the new album kicks ass! i can't wait to see a lot of the songs performed live. through train's character and intensity, it is obvioius they love what they are doing...and they do a damn good job at it too. the letterman show totally hyped me up for the upcoming concert!

Terah Yerke - Thu Mar 29 19:03:45 EST 2001

Hey, I was wondering where I could find the notes for Drops of Jupiter, the piano intro part I mean. It is a great song!

Unknown - Thu Mar 29 18:54:50 EST 2001

Absolutely Awesome! Saw the group at the 9:30 club in DC last year and have been a huge fan ever since! Love the new album! Keep up the good work guys! Can't wait to see you live again!

Don - Thu Mar 29 18:45:45 EST 2001

Jan - Thu Mar 29 18:30:04 EST 2001

OMIGOD!! The new cd is absolutely mind-blowing. If I only could listen to one cd for the rest of my life... Drops of Jupiter would be it.

Jessica - Thu Mar 29 18:30:00 EST 2001

Hi,
I just wanted to say that it's great that you guys got another song out on the radio. I loved the "Virginia" song, but nobody ever knew what I was talking about when I mentioned it. I wish you all the best, I think your music is great.
Take care.

Melinda - Thu Mar 29 15:52:23 EST 2001

You guys looked and sounded GREAT on Leterman last night. Can't wait to see you on Kilborn and Leno. Keep it up! You guys rock!

Bill Timon - Thu Mar 29 15:28:50 EST 2001

Well, that was awesome!!! Pat definetly has the moves doesn't he. These guys are going to be so big and I can say "I knew it the night I saw them at Smith's three years ago"! Can't wait for Music Midtown! Peace Out!!!!!

Trish Nash - Thu Mar 29 14:56:20 EST 2001

How can I go about getting hold of some of the rare and unreleased songs? Anyone know? And-- maybe the band could find a way to sell the hard-to-find stuff to those of us who support them by going to the shows? Kind of a gift to the fans, ya know?

gabriela - Thu Mar 29 12:51:37 EST 2001

Damn man, do you think they could have shown Paul Schafers bald-headed ass ANYMORE? For a second there I thought he was part of the freakin band.

good job last night guys. Maybe next time they'll actually show the rest of the band for more than a second. Excellent touch having the string section there.

later-

I usually don't feel the need to write to entertainers or well-known figures ... but, every so often, one must follow an impulse. I'm moved to express my excitement for your success. I'm sure it's been a long time coming, which can only make it sweeter. I talk with people all over the country and have always enjoyed sharing your music with others who have not heard of you,(yet)! More and more folks are getting on the right "track"--that's exciting. My boyfriend has been a drummer for over 20 years, so with his critical ear, I have come to appreciate really good music and to know the difference--in a matter of opinion (of course). We so completely enjoy your song writing, musical aptitude & showmanship. To put it simply ... we love your band! It doesn't hurt that you're a local Bay Area band either--we're proud! In closing, we look forward to your continued growth and wish you happiness and prosperity (we know the price of this industry). Thanks for the moving tunes, the new CD is brilliant ... every song!

Kindest regards,
Karen (the smiling brunette in the audience)

Karen Barnett - Thu Mar 29 12:09:18 EST 2001

TRAIN totally rocked on Letterman!! You guys are about to EXPLODE into the mainstream! One thing that I loved about Train from the get-go is Pat's stage presence... you rock!! (Pat: grow your hair back!)

Cannot wait to see you guys in the intimate setting of the MUSIC HALL!! Birmingham (or the Ham as we like to refer to it) LOVES YOU GUYS. WRAX(107.7)devoted last sunday totally to TRAIN and played the new album in its entirity!(EVERY SONG!)!!

I am forever a devoted Traniac!

Nadia in Birmingham - Thu Mar 29 11:56:53 EST 2001

Hey guys~I'm really bummed out that I missed letterman~Unfortunetely I had to spend my night at the hospital & I have to go back in a few~Did anyone tape it??~Anyways, I'm sure it was rockin' from what I've read on the MB!~Keep the great music comin'~~~

Tammy - Thu Mar 29 11:23:41 EST 2001

Their has never been a group of musicians that move me as much as Train does. The way they touch my soul is so overwhelming that it leaves my head spinning. This group of men "feel" their music so deeply and it really comes across. Thank you Train. I look forward to seeing you in Petaluma, CA and hopefully SF!

Michelle - Thu Mar 29 11:22:44 EST 2001

When the heck is TRAIN coming back to Salt Lake City. We Love You Guys!!!

Andy Hayford - Thu Mar 29 11:20:39 EST 2001

Hey guys wanted to drop you a line and, (just like everyone else I'm sure), say I love the album! Great stuff. I'm in Charlotte NC and have been a big fan since the first CD came out. I'll be in Atlanta May 5h, Charleston SC on the 6h, and back in my hometown Charlotte at Treemont Music Hall on the 7th. I'll have about 10 people with me and we'll be the loud ones! Thanks again guys, on the Cd and the close venues. Keep Rockin!

Thank you so much for saving music. The music these days has been horrible. Drops of Jupiter is one of the best albums I have ever heard. Some albums it takes a while to warm up too, but the first time through it, I knew it was something special. Look forward to seeing you in NJ.

Rick - Thu Mar 29 10:40:50 EST 2001

Luckily my husband taped your performance on Letterman last night for me. Needless to say y'all were your usual awesome self and you made a convert. My husband is a music "grouch" and usually does not like my favorite bands too much, but he loved Drops of Jupiter. To turn him from a Train grouch (because you took me away from him for 3 concerts so far) into a Train fan is a miracle!!! Wonders never cease!!! I think this album will catapult you to the top - best wishes!!!

Janet Myrick - Thu Mar 29 10:34:21 EST 2001

Your new record is great............thank you so much!!!!!!!

heather - Thu Mar 29 10:17:17 EST 2001

Drops of Jupiter is one of the best CD's I have ever purchased! Every song is absoultely wonderful! From the first tiem I heard Drops of Jupiter on the radio I knew I had to have it and it has been a long 3 months wainting but it was worth it.
Also I just wanted to say that the lyrics to RESPECT are so true, coming from the person who did not get the respect. Anyway's you guys are terrific!!

Jil Frances - Thu Mar 29 09:03:12 EST 2001

Thanks for your music Train. I saw you
guys in Allentown last May. You're right
Charlie Whiskeytown is pretty good - but
you guys are better! Your new album has
a sad kind of tone too, but also I find it
psychedelic - and it all works cause you
guys are so TOTALLY TODAY, NOW, HAPPENING!
Also I find DoJ more organized that the last
album - I mean CD - you have the more mellow
songs on the one side and a little more rocking all together on the other side. I love the
side starting with Let it Roll and I let it roll
all the way to the end of the cassette!! No
fast forwarding necessary.......THANKS!

Jill Frances - Thu Mar 29 08:59:11 EST 2001

Wow! Last night train was on Letterman!! I almost DIED as soon as I saw them!!! (not really DIED I guess)They were right THERE-on my tv!! That was the greatest thing I've seen on tv scince...well...thier video!! :D
That was so amazing!! Hey wern't you guys nervous? You were awesome!!! I hope you will be on more shows soon! (I'd even stay up till midnight to see ya's again!) That rocked!!!

HI!

I saw Train on Letterman last night & totally LOVED it! I wish I had known they played in NYC this past Tuesday :( I would have been there for sure!

~Donna <-- going out to buy the new CD today!

Donna - Thu Mar 29 07:15:54 EST 2001

Does anyone know where the cd can be purchased with the bonus tracks and the extra bonus disc? With money coming my way soon I would like to try to get the full listening enjoyment for it. Hopefully without waiting for an online shipment...oh well, I all I know is I'm hooked on the song "Hopeless" and am seriously considering getting tickets the next time Train is near me.

Bill - Thu Mar 29 06:11:17 EST 2001

I just about wept. This great song that people will be listening to 50 years from now, a great performance, good sound on a TV talk show (how the hell did that happen??!) and I think we can really stop worrying about these guys. Rob, Charlie, Jimmy, Pat, Scott, thanks.

More coming soon (pictures from the Chitown show)

Luke - Thu Mar 29 02:16:12 EST 2001

Im thinking Pat has been working on his taebo kick.

The performance on Letterman rocked, but the Chicago show was much more amazing, 'cause I was in the front row watching.

I have a confession to make, I have the total hots for Charlie. And its not just cause he plays bass.........

Jayme - Thu Mar 29 02:01:49 EST 2001

The performance on the Late Show ROCKED!!!! I was almost afraid to watch because I love TRAIN so much more than any band before and groups tend to either shine or suck on stage. Well, TRAIN outshined any band I have ever seen perform live! Pat's vocals were incredible, even more intense than the album tracks...and his moves were awesome. The string quartet was a perfect touch and Paul's piano intro was very Elton John. A moving performance all around....Too bad I just found out I can't see you guys live at Cajun House in April...I have to WORK and can't get out of it anyway or how....Now I know what total misery is....

Fantastic...And how about Pat's kick when he said Tae-Bo...Very Athletic.

TDog - Thu Mar 29 00:40:57 EST 2001

I am VERY pleased with the new Train album! I heard the single on the radio "Drops of Jupiter" and was beating myself cause I didnt know who it was. The damn DJ never would say....the day I found out who it was, was the day the new CD came out. I hailed ass to Disc Jockey and got a copy....I absolutely love your 1st album, very moving, with heart and soul written lyrics and melodys. Your title album really helped me through some rough times, this new album is a great closer to some hard times I had to over come. You guys are awesome, thanks for the music and the touching lyrics. One more thing...put Kentucky on the map (for future tour reference) thanks a bunch

I really love your new CD. Icant wait to see you guys on Letterman tonight,good luck! When are you coming to New York, Staten Island would be nice. Scott your whole family is waiting to see you in concert,Staten Island has some really nice old theaters and it would be very convenient for the "LARGE FAMILY" Scott. Best Wishes from your cuz! JILL

Jill - Wed Mar 28 23:31:30 EST 2001

Drops on Jupiter is a good song but The Beatles, The Doors, and The Who will Fuck them up.

Jenny Tran - Wed Mar 28 23:28:28 EST 2001

Wow, that was really cool! All right, now that I know how this works, you fans and/or band persons have got to help me. How can I get a hold of the CD shown on the site that has "Ramblin On" on it? I saw it performed live and it would be the jewel of my collection. Any tips? I will keep digging thru the site to see if I can figure it out on my own but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Train roll on....

Shubi Do - Wed Mar 28 22:36:14 EST 2001

I have never posted on one of these things so here goes & lets hope for the best!
I first saw you guys at the Mark & Brian Xmas show (Los Angeles)after about wearing out my CD, your first release. I love EVERY song, musically & lyrically. It is seriously one of my favorite albums of ALL time. I don't know what it is but you guys touched something deep in me. (All right, knock that off!)I am the proud holder of 2 tickets to the House of Blues April 19th and am currently learning all new tunes on DOJ so I can fully participate. Keep rockin and I'll see ya soon!
