DC

Just wanted to let you guys know that I am crushed that you're only tour date in the D.C. area (and right outside my office, to make things worse!) is tomorrow and conflicts with my boyfriend's graduation... Come back soon! It's been almost a year since I've had my Train fix! (Wish you were playing at Trax tomorrow night.... :)

melissa

I think she musta been in wacko land......I have seen train MANY MANY times over the past few years(twice on this tour) and they never appear as "glam rockers"...lol same ole band....with more recognition and fame....but still very "normal" and approachable......

labrat - Fri May 18 12:39:11 EDT 2001


Not a new fan

I haven't been to the new bbs since they took down the old one (I miss that format, it was easier to read)
Anyway, Train are the nicest guys ever.
Never had a meeting with them that wasn't funny and totally laid back.
As a friend of a few of their labelmates, I have never heard not a single bad word from ever anyone
ever about them.
They make very good music and deserve much success and respect.
I don't know if I'll stick around this new board though, it's a little hard to muddle through.

Thanks to the guitar tech (2X)

I was at the Chicago show at the Riviera, last night and yes, it was an awesome show;
and yes, I got some cool pictures with that HUGE digital camera afterward; and yes,
as usual, all the guys were very cool.

I would, however like take this opportunity to personally thank the guitar tech
(the kinda Tom Petty / Shawn Mullins lookin' guy) for being the coolest!!!!!

Dude, seriously, you handed me a set list at the Chicago fan appreciation show and
one of the guitar picks last night. Thanks for hookin' a brother up!!!!!! You are the
man.

That's two that I owe ya bro...

Awesome show!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY! I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'VE BECOME A 100% TRAIN FAN. I WENT TO SEE YOU GUYS IN CHICAGO MAY 16 AT YHE RIV. YOU GUYS ROCKED. I'M GOING TO BE HONEST HERE. I ONLY KNEW 2 OF YOUR SONGS THAT BEING "MEET VIRGINIA AND DROPS OF JUPITER". I MUST SAY THAT YOU GUYS PUT ON A HELL OF A SHOW. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO ATTEND THE CONCERTS KNOW MOSTLY ALL THE WORDS TO THE SONGS BUT NOT ME. ALL YOUR SONGS SOUND SO GOOD. I THINK THAT IT'S BEST TO CHECK OUT A GROUP BEFORE PURCHASING THEIR ALBUM. EVERYTHING SOUNDED SO GOOD AND NOW THIS WEEKEND, I'M PURCHASING BOTH CDS. I GOT TO MEET YOU GUYS AFTER THE SHOW AND I MUST SAY THAT YOUR ARE THE MOST DOWN TO EARTH GUYS I HAVE EVER MET. MOST BANDS DON'T ACT AND TRAT THEIR FANS LIKE YOU GUYS DO. DON'T CHANGE THAT. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ON A WONDERFUL SHOW HERE IN CHICAGO AND I WISH YOU LOTS OF SUCCESS BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE ONE AWESOME BAND!

Maria - Fri May 18 00:08:44 EDT 2001


I just wanted to let you know that you guys played an amazing show at Clutch Cargo's in Pontiac. It was the first concert I have ever been to of yours, although I have been a fan for about a year. Also the new cd is wonderful, you really out did yourselves. I look forward to seeing you again with Matchbox 20, in Aug. at the Detroit show.
Keep up the good work,
Have fun

Pat

Pat is from my hometown! Back when he was in what some of you call GLAM bands! I was one of his early fans! It's GREAT to see that the rest of the world knows what I have known for years! He also STILL lives here! about 30 minutes from me!

Melissa-
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I worry too that Train will end up getting too big, and become the rockstar types that will have me saying, "they used to be..."
But the band is still great, the music still genuine. Weed makes you paranoid.

- Thu May 17 21:21:15 EDT 2001


thank you

I fell in love with the first cd and wondered if the second would speak to me in the same way
well it didn't, it touched me totally different but my soul was equally moved. The two songs
that brought me to tears are Getaway and Mississippi, Drops of Jupiter is the journey I'm about
to take in Alaska, it's the Land of Midnight Sun and I plan to dance along the light of
day, I've found myself, fell for a shooting star, and now will be part of the milkyway. this song
sums up my here and now. Thank you Train for the inspiration your music is to me.

See you in September, Sacramento, Ca

I just wanted to say how amazing this show was. There's not that many people that I've seen that's music is even better in concert. You're voices and sound was unbelievable. Can't wait to see you again---Gina

Gina Dorazio - Thu May 17 18:52:42 EDT 2001


HEY!!!
I saw you last year at the House of Blues in Chicago, and I went to the Concert last Night at the Rivera. You totally rock, I LOVED the concert last night, is was Awesome that you played the songs I love from the first album. I am totally looking foreward to your next show!!!! you guys just keep gettting better!!!! Rock on!!Nice touch playing Aerosmith, that was really cool. I have to agree with the other message that Matchbox 20 should be opening for you. I hope to see that concert too.

Raging at the Riv

Hi Guys! Just wanted to let you know that the show last night in chicago was awesome! I saw you when you were here in Indy at Butler University a few weeks ago, but last night I only had about 4 people between me and the center of the stage and that made all the difference! What an incredible set and what a fantastic show you guys put on! Keep up the great work, and I'll be seeing you guys again real soon!

Amy

Hey Pat, what did you see the sock puppet front and center? I was right behind her, how hysterical! :)

Amy - Thu May 17 14:26:21 EDT 2001


Last Night

I know this is redundant based on everyone else's post, but I just gotta say again that you guys are the greatest. The Chicago show last night rocked. I have caught you guys the last 3 times you have been here, including the CD release party which also rocked, and I plan on being there in August when you come back. Your music is so real despite what some no-talent-critics have to say. I loved every minute of the concert although today I still cannot hear so good out of one ear. Stood was to close to the speakers. Ouch! Anyway, loved the concert, love you guys, and enjoyed the fact that you changed one song from the set list. For those who do not know, they were supposed to play Idaho, but changed it to Homesick while on stage (I was lucky enough to get a set list last night after the show). Great choice. See you guys later and keep showing the world what Train is all about.

Clutch Cargos-Pontiac

Just wanted to warn area people about Clutch Cargo's - I have never been treated so poorly at any venue - I ACTUALLY GOT KICKED OUT OF THE TUES, MAY 15, TRAIN PERFORMANCE. (for what? Don't have a clue) I have attended too many shows to mention and have never been treated like an animal. I will go see Train again on Aug 10 at DTE - The music was incredible and the venue SUCKS!!!! See you in August guys. Thanx for the great performance.

Hopeless

I know that anyone reading this has heard this wonderful song. Hopeless off the drops of jupieter cd is one of the best songs ever. I am in love with sound. This Saturday, May 19. 2001 I am going to the annual DC101 Chilli Cookoff to see train, and I am so excited. And i just wanted to say that if any member of Train does see this to please play hopeless on saturday :) thanks so much~amanda

PASS ME THE NEEDLE

my wife tells me im a train junkie if the high i got last night in chicago was a train buzz im addicted
the harmonies in "its about you" were awesome

could almost see the river from the balcony during "mississippi".....certainly smelled the pack a day smokers

Las Night.

I went to the Show last night out here in Chi-town....it was awesome, probably one of the greatest shows I have ever been to.....Up there with the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith. The anticipation was worth the show! Thanks for an awesome and very memorable night!

Michelle - Thu May 17 12:01:24 EDT 2001


Finally... Some GOOD music!

It's refreshing to hear a band like Train on the radio I was almost starting to lose my faith in music! Amidst all the spandex-wearing teeny-boppers and blue-haired mall punks it's hard to find good new music these days. Train's presence on MTV, VH1 and the local radio stations proves that quality singer-songwriter music will never die as long as there are listeners out there who still have taste...
...And it doesn't hurt that Pat the lead singer is a total SEX BOMB! Whooh! ;)

Chicago show-May 16

I just wanted to say that last night's concert in Chicago was sweet! This is my first time seeing Train and I just had my knee reconstructed but dammit I went to the show. I really enjoyed myself and the band is great live. Your CD's rock but Train is even better live. I will be at there to see you guys in Chicago when you come back with Matchbox 20 for sure. Thanks for making my week.

Amy B. - Thu May 17 11:05:38 EDT 2001


Speechless

I was at the concert in Chicago last night at the Riv, and Train was simply awesome!!

Pat, your voice is just awesome! It took my breath away how great you sound live!

I look forward to seeing you guys on tour with Matchbox 20!!

Jen - Thu May 17 10:55:26 EDT 2001


KICK ASS!!!

I attended the Train performance last night at the Riverea in Chicago. Just letting you guys know we all had a GREAT time! You put on an excellent show! I couldn't keep my eyes off the stage. Can't wait till you come around with Matchbox 20, i'll definitly be there with bells on! Stay True!!!!!!!!!!!! Adios

Amy Howell - Thu May 17 10:28:11 EDT 2001


Last Night

Last night's show at the Riv was wonderful! I was at your free show at the Park West when you were here last and fell in love with your music... You were absolutely right, it is only about the music. When you listen to music and it touches your soul, that is when you know you are listening to a great band. Looking forward to the show in August... what is that band you are touring with... Matchbox something??? :)

Carol - Thu May 17 10:24:52 EDT 2001


Good Job!

Hi Train Band Members,

I want to express what a neat band I think you are. I just got the Jupiter casette and it's awesome. Pat reminds me a lot of one of my friends who also plays in an alternative band. My friend conveys his emotions through music and the Jupiter video did this in a wonderful way. I've never seen a video like it where positive (real life) emotion came through. The lyrics that struck me were "Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong." My friend stood by be when I went through some emotional growing pains (trying to realize why the world is the way it is and what life's all about).

Good job to the band and I wish you much success. I look forward to seeing you at Blockbuster Desert Sky Pavilion on September 29th in Phoenix, AZ.

Have a good day,

Bert

Billy - Thu May 17 07:44:45 EDT 2001


okay...for real now...

Man, I was a little drunk (post-Train show) when I wrote the last message, still in the bliss of having met the band and heard one of the best rock and roll shows I have ever heard. Wow, can these guys perform! I think enough people have ripped on Melissa to let her know that she 'don't know where it's at'...but I have to say, get a clue girlfriend! :) That's all I'll say. If these guys can keep it as real as they did at the Charlotte show, their music will never die. Such energy, such talent, and damn...such good music! It always means a lot when a band takes the time to meet some of its fans- you fellas are quite cool...keep makin' it happen! :) Thanks for the tunes.

Best Night of my Life?

Chicago show, 3 words . . . A Maz Ing! 'nuf said. Can we say hour and a half long eargasm? Because yah, I think we can. The lighting was absolutely glorious, the singing was close to angelic, the music was enchanting, and the stage presence . . . are there even words? So to you Train, thank you, another perfect show under your belts. And now my friends, it is time for bed, for my body is weary and my feet are achy from too much dancing.

An Amazing Drop of Musical Wonderment

Can't stop playing your Drops-o-Jup Quicktime video!!! That is one fantastic piece of magical music! How do you create something with that kind of poignancy? Not quite sure what you intended with those lyrics but between those lyrics and the song with its restrained intensity, I'm quite jarred in the emotions. This one is special & you all deserve many a best soy latte!! You is enterTRAINment at its peak!!

Ride on!!

Chicago Concert

hi all.... i was just at the concert at the Riv and i am still freaked out about it. it was the greatest thing i have ever been to! not only are the guys sooooo talented, they obviously put their hearts into the performance, and are so energetic! Pat was so charming that all my friends have fallen in love with him, as well as the rest of the band. If you ever have a chance to see them live, take it in a heartbeat! its not just a daydream if you decide to make it your life....

Gabrielle - Thu May 17 01:23:44 EDT 2001


Great Chicago Show!

U2 last show was the same night... I think Train was the best ticket in town. The amount of energy could have powered the entire city. I would like to thank the two lovely ladies in front of me for being the best company. I had the dark hair and you got a picture of me with you and took some of you, would love a copy. I'll be at the next show with as many friends as I can bring. A friend I brought enjoyed it so much he is buying the CDs.

Best of Luck,
John.

Down to earth

Hey-
I think the train guys are the greatest. At the hartford show (the show i missed because of finals) two of my friends had backstage passes. after train's performance they went backstage and were eagerly waiting to meet the guys. however, none of them were showing up. finally my friends got fed up and went back into the venue. well geuss who they saw chillin out there with the crowd? the members of train! i just thought that was really cool to do.

i am sorry melissa that you had a bad train concert experience. however, i do not know where you are getting the entire glam rock thing from. from what i have heard from all the past concert reviews these guys are just having a great time nd enjoying their success. i know i would be.
peace,
monika

Monika - Thu May 17 00:09:09 EDT 2001


My Two Cents to Melissa

Please Guys don't take this girl seriously, she must have gotten hold of some bad acid or something. I love the show you put on. Comapred to Jacob Dylan ( No offense he's awsome too) but he doesn't do anything, just stands there and sings. And then ooooo, he takes off his sunglasses and everyone applauds...and then he takes out his acustic and knocks his dad ( I was so dying to see a father son reunion at Music Midtown) I guess Jacob hasn't learned how to "let it roll" yet. Hey Pat maybe you could talk to him. Anyways I found the dance moves very entertaining( a huge plus ontop of an already awesome Combination of lyrics, vocals, and music)
And thats the Truth :)~

Excited about train with matchbox twenty

First of all, I want to say that I've loved train since I first heard Meet Virginia. In fact, it became my nickname on the matchbox twenty guest discussion board. I was introduced to Train's music by matchbox twenty's lead singer, Rob Thomas and guitarist, Adam Gaynor.

I just want to say how excited I am to see 2 of my favorite bands sharing a stage. This should be a magnificent show. I've tried to see Train before, but to no avail, so this will be awesome. I even introduced Train to my best friend in Australia (before they became popular) and we are going to see you guys in Chicago in August when she comes to visit me all the way from Sydney Australia.

Anyway, I just want to say how much your music inspires me. "blind", "I am", "Hopeless", "Respect", and "Drops of jupitor" are just a few of my favorite songs, although, there isn't one song I completely dislike on either album or EP.

Take care, God bless, and can't wait to see your performance and to see Matchbox twenty with you. I hope Pat can come out and do a little duet with Rob Thomas. I'm sure it would sound magnificent.

Amy (MeetVirginia)

To Erika...

Sorry to all the Back Street Boys fans out there. I personally do not like them, but as Erika states, everyone has their own opinions. I was just using them as an example of a "flashy, image-conscious" band. Even though the men of Train are getting very popular, they still make you feel like you are watching a very talented local band. They have that down-home feel to them. Actually they could come to my home anytime....:) Scott's parents don't live to far from me...

Learn what it is about

Melissa--I don't know what you said, but apparently you don't appreciate music for anything. Music is from the soul and the heart. It is a key that unlocks the door to your entire being and lets out things that otherwise would be kept inside. You don't try to impress ppl in an audience by dancing or "getting into it". You let yourself be in a place all by itself with no concept of the ppl around. It is you, your music, your instrument, your words. Nothing else matters. Back off the appearance and just listen.

high school

This is a message for Charlie. I went to high school w/ you! You might not remember me but I just wanted to tell you how happy I am for you and all of your success. I still talk to a lot of our classmates and I know that they feel the same way. After all the lunch time concerts in the quad, its wonderful to know that someone as nice as you has followed their heart and talents. You certainly deserve it. I now live in North Providence, Rhode Island and I am sorry to say that I will miss your show on Sunday the 20th. It's my little boy's 3rd birthday. But my brother and sister in law will be there! I look forward to the next time that you are in New England - I wont miss it. I also have to say that both of Train's albums are terrific. All the best to you and your band mates.

New Tour Dates

I just saw that you guys will be touring with Matchbox 20. I sure hope the tickets are affordable. Although I would spend a little more to see you guys. I even thought about entering a contest on a radio show that is out of Los Angeles and I live outside of Portland, OR. I would buy an airline ticket to see you guys perform accoustically in the KLOS radio studio (via Mark and Brian show). Anyway, I was wondering if the Seattle show show at the Gorge Ampitheatre is actually out of Seattle. There is a Gorge Ampitheatre not too far from Portland in George, Washington (actual name). Just wanted to make sure it was Seattle and not there. Tickets show they go on sale on June 6. I want to get a jump on it if I could.

Also, regarding Melissa. Not sure what show she saw but I thought you guys were great here in Portland. You were down to earth and not flashy. That's what I like. The concerts are about the music not the hype and flash. Stay true to the music and don't get too lost in the stars.

Thanks for listening.

*Drops Of Jupiter*

I think that the song Drops Of Jupiter is a very very very good song, I can't discribe how much I love it. The reason I love it is because it reminds me of space and I love space just as much as I love this song. I Love it.

*Thanx*!

To Dawn.. and other random stuff

Ahem! And what is wrong with Backstreet? Just kidding, everyone has their own opinions, but I enjoy both bands; despite how different they are. I absolutely love Train though. Their lyrics are uplifting, and I'm constantly reccomending the "Drops Of Jupiter" CD to everyone. I'd have to say my favorite song on that album is "Hopeless". What about everyone else?

Melissa

OK I am going to add to all the shit tossing to Melissa. If you are such a "fan" of the music, why would you care what they looked like or did on stage. Shouldn't it just be about the music? The experiences? The words? I think that you have probably been a closet Back Street Boys fan for so long that you have lost all sense of great music. What do you want them to do while they are performing, just stand there and play their instrument and not move or act. Jimmy probably went wild on his guitar because he was so into his performance. Listening to the other reviews of the show, seems like you were somewhere else that night. Next time either keep the negative vibes to yourself or plan to get bashed right back. HELLO this is a "fan" web page, RIGHT??

The Message of HOPE was delivered...

Tour Bus (Blue/White/Silver)?
Event Coverage (95.5/89X)?
Entertainment (Bo's/Bowling)?

One Thing is for Certain:

On May 15, 2001, Train was greeted by the SWEET RAIN in Pontiac, MI. For those of us who believe in Rain-Stories... The message of HOPE was delivered. Train's performance was Splendid. The energy they posess cannot be described in mere words.

Charlie, Pat, Rob, Jimmy & Scott,
May You ALWAYS...
Believe in MAGIC
Live in WONDER
& Dream in COLOR !!!

(The World needs your message boys, keep doin' what you do !)

HMM, Let's see

Well, being that I have yet to see Train in concert, it's interesting to hear the different opinions about them. But I can somewhat understand where Melissa is coming from. Often there are bands that become to big for their britches and Train has had a very big growth spurt. I hope that Melissa's experience was an isolated one. I have very high expectations for Trains performance. I have seen Matchbox 20 and they weren't half bad....... Or maybe it was the alcohol, who knows! But anyway, I hope whom ever actually read my last posting enjoyed my mother's poem and took into consideration what I stated.

I love this band!

I have now purchased your last two albums (the self-titled and drops of jupiter)... I just bought "Drops of Jupiters" yesterday... I was blown away by it!! I mean... I loved the self-titled album... i couldn't stop listening to it for almost a month straight. The harmony and melodics of the band are truly inspirational and just sweet music to my ears. There are so many words to describe this band and one of them for sure is "GREAT!!" I am from Vancouver Canada and I do believe that they are performing live at "The Commodore" on May 24th or 25th.. and I can't wait!! I haven't seen these guys live yet, but I'm sure i'll be even more blown away by their musical talents. My dream has always been to be in a band like Train. Excellent songwriting and catchy melodic and very rock sounding songs (even the odd slow ballad). I'm at the point in my life where I have to start saving money right now... but once i heard the Drops of Jupiter song, I couldn't get it out of my head (especially the "hey hey" part during the first and second verses) and I just had to go out and buy it!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS! you haven't disappointed me yet in any one of your songs... TALENTED is what this band is and us music fans are just so lucky to experience this kind of quality music in our lifetimes... Thank you once again! =)

Mellissa' s review

I am fortunate enough to be in a band that played with train several times when they first started out. They opened for us in Chico and we opened for them a couple times in Santa Rosa. Melissa, You make the statement that "this isn't the train I Know." Your right, these down to earth amazing musicians have evolved into one of the greatest bands going right now. And to think they have just stated. Off stage they are down to earth extemely funny and approachable guy's. On stage they are true preformers.....Melissa, sit back, enjoy, and let them have fun and be who they are.... Sunset Red

Melissa...

You obviously focused too much attention on the little things that you failed to hear the music! Next time you see Train in concert, get your priorities straight. Be there to listen and feel their music, not as a critic on their looks and their actions!!!!

Fan - Wed May 16 18:07:52 EDT 2001


concert date

I'm sorry I will miss the Chicago date at the Riv, due to a change in my finals schedule. I hope the band will pas thru Chicago soon.I'd love to see you live. Thanks for the great music!

glam rock?? doesn't that mean lots of hair products and make up?? hmmm, last time i saw those talented guys that make Train, they were just performing their music the way they always have...keeps me and others traveling cross country to see them. i appreciate others opinions, but it doesn't sound like the Train i know.

Melissa..and my DET review!

I have seen Train many times in MI and IL. Let me say a few things to Melissa first....your review sucked, period. It sounds to me that you have no clue who this band is...if your going to rip on them, you might as well learn their names. To Jimmy (as you call him, "Mr. Lead Guitar Man"), your performance was amazing, and it was great to meet you again. You simply are an amazing guitarist and it was clear you were having fun performing. Gosh, give him a break. oh and yeah if you love them so much, learn his name. He is not TRYING to be a rock star, seems to me he IS a rock star. The concert was AMAZING! The best I have seen yet from these guys. These guys are true musicians and after meeting them for like the 5th time, they are still the same Train they were before. Down to earth, nice, friendly, and overall just caring about their fans/friends. I think they deserve more than the crappy review you gave them. Train is a "real" band, last night they were soo into the show and it was obvious they were enjoying themselves and the crowd. Michigan fans always treat them well, and it just sucks that you had to rip on them like that. They werent being "cheesy" they were being themselves, real and honest. Their music is amazing, and it touches and inspires people. If you didnt feel that at the show like I did, and also everyone else that i talked to did, im sorry. But dont come on here bashing the band and asking for the "real Train" to come back. They are real and they are here to stay. Thanks Pat, Jimmy, Rob, Scott, and Charlie for another great show. "Sweet Rain" would have been a treat, but the highlight was playing "hopeless" for 19wheels! Thanks so much...

Songwriting

The first time I heard "Drops of Jupiter" on the radio I thought it was amazing. Train's songs are heartfelt and their progressions are really innovative (always a surprise chord, unlike other bands)
Rock on!

Melissa from Michigan

Just wanted say : Melissa...They are musicians! Passionate about what they are doing AND having a GREAT TIME DOING IT....if you don't mind?!?! I think they are great. I have enjoyed them live as you say that you have....please let them be themselves and have fun...they don't have to fit into anyone's box...they are artists!

getawaygirl - Wed May 16 16:54:24 EDT 2001


Thanks!!

Just wanted to say "thanks" to Tess for the tickets to the Warfield show!! And thanks to Theresa for checking to make sure that I knew about them!! Train fans are awesome...even if I do say so myself...=o) Can't wait for the show! God is so good! Thanks again!

Anyone know how I can get a Train poster? Didn't see them at the online store. Would like the one with the blue background, like they had at the Toronto show Sunday night.

Train at Clutch Cargos

Ok, I just read what Mellisa said, and I have to dissagree. I'm a huge HUGE fan of yours, have been for a while. This was the first time I got to see you guys live though, because haha mommy and daddy are finally letting there little girl go out to concerts by herself with her friends (and its about time, I am going to college and everything =) but anyway, I went with 5 of my friends and we all agreed that it was one of the best concerts we have ever ever been to. I loved how you guys were so into what you were doing, I thought it was awsome. I didn't think it was popped out MTV glossed over cheexe, or wanna be Aerosmith guitar, I thought it was a band that was finally getting the recognition they deserve that still was into playing an awsome show for the fans. I thought you sounded great, I thought your energy was great, I just thought it was a kick ass show. And your opening act was awsome too, the reminded me of Dispatch, sort of. But their energy was great too. The whole car ride home none of us could shut up about how great it was, we were actually kind of obnoxious, constantly repeating the same thing (Oh my god that was an amazing show etc for the hour drive home). Anyway, I love you guys and I can't wait to see you with matchbox 20. Keep rocking!

website

Just stumbled across your notes from the road and thought it was pretty cool to see how your updating your fans, which I'm one of though my brother tries to take credit for your introduction. As a web designer I really like your website, good colors and easy to navigate. Hey what about a show in Milwaukee? I know your playing in Chicago at the world Music theater - that sucks unless your 6'5", Milwaukee has a great outdoor theater (Marcus Ampitheater) or are all tour dates posted?

Anyway, I love the new cd; listening to it right now while I stare at my computer. Maybe I should take up Bonnie's job and follow your tour around; sounds more fun. Hope to catch the show this summer.

Michelle - Wed May 16 15:28:06 EDT 2001


Train is coming!

I live in Montana, which is a horrible place to hear good music, but I just looked at the tourdates and Train is playing in my town in September with Matchbox 20! I'm so excited, only 4 months! It's so awesome, I'm so glad you guys are playing in places that you didn't this tour, thanks!!!

Train at Clutch Cargo's

So, I've been a big Train fan ever since I've seen you share a stage with Jump, Little Children at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor two or three years ago. I've seen you guys perform several times since then, at the Blind Pig, at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit, and then last night at Clutch Cargo's in Pontiac. We showed up two hours early and stood in the rain to make sure we could secure a good spot (cuz you guys have been hitting it big, you know). I was at the show fully expecting to see the Train that I know and love, the band that comes on stage, knows their shit, and plays thier songs with all the passion and soul that they have in them. What I saw instead (and I mean this with all the respect that I still have for you as musicians and for the band that I know is still in you) was a bunch of cheese-dorks on stage caught up in the Matchbox-Twenty syndrome. I am saying this because I am still a big fan of your music, but I couldn't stand to watch you perform live this time. Pat- you really don't need to pantomime out the songs for us...we know them already, and it just looks increadibly cheesey. Mr. Lead Guitar Man (I'm sorry I don't know who is who) you don't need to take every opportunity to turn a lead guitar solo into an Aerosmith play-alike contest...again very cheesey, and it really dosen't show off your talent, it just makes you look like you're trying to be a rock star. If we want to see Kiss, we'll but tickets for Kiss. Kudos to the bass guitarist, the rhythm guitarist, and (I think) the drummer for coming out like we've seen them in the past, just talented musicians playing because they love to play, not to please the MTV hoochies and underage studmuffins. Although I know that glam-rock sells (why, I'm still not sure) the people that buy into that sort of stuff aren't the fans that are going to still be around when you are no longer the latest-and-greatest in rock and roll and Britney Spears has released her next album. It's going to be people like me with a real appreciation for music and a dislike for the pumped up, hyped up, glam-rock music video shows. Thanks for listening, and I still love your music. Keep it up.

Sincerely,
Melissa from Michigan

great CD & website

Just wanted you guys to know that I've been a fan since the early days. The new CD is great, love the title track. I've worn out 2 CD's already of the first Train CD (and given several of them to people as gifts). The two hidden tracks are incredible songs. I love your music. And your website. As a fan, I really appreciate your letters from the road (sounds like someone in the band has a good sense of humor). Keep up the good work. We really do appreciate you, your interest in your fans, and your music. Best regards ....

ATTENTION EVERYONE GOING TO CHILI COOKOFF IN DC

I saw Train last Friday in Philly and they were absolutely awesome. The sound and set were great, and me and my friends went insane singing and dancing and acting like fools.
The problem is we were THE ONLY ONES DOING THAT!
So please, any Train fans going Saturday to the Chili Cook-Off,
!!!!GET FUCKING EXCITED!!!!GET FUCKING LOUD!!!!
and let them know how bad ass they are!
I want to see as long a set as possible, and why do they want to keep playing for a bunch of statues.
LET THEM HEAR IT!

The Music . . .

There is a lot of texture to this band and the compositions. One tell-tale sign of a band's ability is the capacity to play "live" in a radio station studio during a promo with watered-down gear. The feel of the tune remains . . .Quite a commentary! I own a record store. Despite this, my wife won a copy of the new release from a radio station. Now we both have mobile copies. I got hip to TRAIN after hearing, "Free". Very little motivates me to pick up a release after one tune, one listen. Trust me!

I just turned 40. I tire of the angry rock sound and some of the new hybrid genres. Give me a band that can play an arena and the "front porch" and still deliver the goods.

That band . . .TRAIN!

Keep on keeping it real!

My Two Cents :)

As long as everyone is putting in their two cents on who they think is the hottest memeber of the band, I might as well give my thoughts on the subject. As much as I think your all a bunch of the Cutest, most adorable, Hot, Lovable Nerds ( nerds being meant in an extremely good way)....My heart goes out to Charlie :)~
Love ya,

"Pat said that there were "like, *6* people" at the Lee's Palace show. That was probably because MIX 99.9
was giving away tickets and that was the only way you could get in."

Just in reference to that statement Pat made on Sunday...he was actually talking about their show at Lee's Palace
back in November 1999, not the one which just passed at the end of March!!! And yes, he speaks the truth, as I was ONE of those
"6" people there that night (ok, there were a few more than that, but certainly not many :>), I can back up that statement!!
The show they did there at the end of March this year was only an industry showcase, open to only industry-types & radio contest winners.
Being resourceful like I am, I was at that one too! :) Hehe. And there were MANY more than 6 people there THAT time, it was pretty full! :)

funny

It is so funny to me how so many people talk about what "hotties" that Train are. They are all quite adorable (married or not). It is so nice to have a GREAT band, AND for them to be such cuties too! Nice bonus! =o) What's funny to me is that I loved them for over a year without even knowing (or caring for that matter) what they looked like. Just LOVED the music! The fact that they are ALL adorable is just a bonus! Can't wait to see you guys at the Warfield!! =o) I hope that I will have the chance to meet you guys after the show...waited to no avail in LA... either way, take care of yourselves and keep the GREAT music coming!! You are such an inspiration!

Refreshing Sound

After hearing "Drops of Jupiter" on the radio for the first time earlier today, my immediate assumption was that I was hearing the best song ever by the Black Crowes. My mouth dropped when the radio D.J. came on and said it was Train's latest. The contrast between this and "Meet Virginia" was absolutely stunning.

"Drops of Jupiter" was something I would never have expected from a "new age" group. It's very, very refreshing to hear a piano and violins mixed into a song. The harmony is perfect. The new CD is definitely #1 on my "to-buy" list. Thanks for the great work, guys, and please, PLEASE keep it up!

Tanner - Wed May 16 01:37:56 EDT 2001


very inspirational

I have a younger sister that last July was married. She and i were never that close when we lived at home togeher. Now that both have moved out of the house, we have grown very close. Recently she hase moved very far away so that her husband can finish his college. I heard the song Drops of Jipiter and was reminded of her greatly. We listend together over and over and cried the hole time. Hearing that songs makes it easier to deal with now getting to see her as often.(hardly at all) It's nice to know that someone can write a song that can do that much for a person. Thank you.

I have posted before about the 05/12/01 show in Clifton Park, NY but I just have to say, that I will be waiting out for tix on Friday night at SPAC for anyone who wants to hang out! I got my pictures yesterday from the show on Saturday night and they kick ass!! The guys were exceptional to all of their fans. I had the opportunity to go to the sound check prior to the show, and the guys didn't rush us or anything when they were done signing our posters that 103.1fm gave us. It was THE best concert experience of my life (and I followed the DEAD for a summer!!) Trying like hell to get backstage for SPAC, so if anyone gets the skinny on that you can post it here or e-mail me at dawngarrison143@hotmail.com. I'd like to hear from other train fans. Good Luck to the person looking for tix that are not 175.00!! But that price is well worth the experience that I had on Saturday....

I just wanted to say that I was at the show at Northern Lights on Saturday and I was just blown away by the performance of the entire band. I saw Train once back in the summer of 1999, but this show was even better than I could have ever imagined. I bought the new record on the day it came out and I haven't stopped listening to it yet! I am becoming a bigger fan day by day and I just wanted to say, keep up the great work! You are an inspiration to us all! :o)

Bad Date

Hey Guys, I don't mean to be a pain in the ass but you have picked a really bad date for your one and only U.K. gig. Problem is the Wildhearts are playing the same night and if you had ever been to one of their gigs then you would know why I can't miss it especially as they have only reformed for a few nights. Please can you either

A) Arrange more dates in the U.K (Lazy Bastards)

or

B) Change the date you have to accomodate me. I know this is selfish but I would appreciate it immensley.

or

C) Come to Nottingham Rock City after the London gig and play a set there. Look forward to seein you guys there.

P.S. If you do any of the above, the beers are on me!

I can't believe all of you "train-heads" left the new bus unattended at the Clutch this a.m. ??!! Was the band sleeping? And many thanks to the set-up crew who was kind enough to say "hi" and welcome us... (Sorry we didn't have enough time to offer to carry that stuff :-))

From the girls who watched from the third floor next to Clutch Cargo as the bus arrived (6 a.m.) and Manager?/Driver ... walked to the mission and back (7:00 a.m.) ...Ryder truck arrived (7:15 a.m.)...Set-Up begins (1:30 p.m.)

Sorry... Pat, Charlie, Jim, Rob, Scott, We would have brought breakfast... doughnuts ... or SOMETHING!!!!... only had time on breaks and lunches... to watch in amazement as the newest freshest sound of soul arrived...

Looks like a Sold-Out Show ... Hoping Detroit treats you well!

Off to Pontiac...

in reading everyone's bios, its just great to see how much this group seriously loves what they do. and the best part is that you dont even need to read the bios to know that.

At the Toronto show...

Pat said that there were "like, *6* people" at the Lee's Palace show. That was probably because MIX 99.9 was giving away tickets and that was the only way you could get in. Pat said that they were beginning to wonder if it would ever happen here for them and the band performed "Hopeless" right after that. Well, I don't think the band has to worry about that anymore after the reception at The Opera House. :) Good work guys... You *ROCK*! And I *still* can't believe I was that close to you Pat and got to look at you for *2* hours. :P lol

My 2 Fave Things....

Here's a story for ya....coming home one day with my soft chicken taco from taco bell "Drops of Jupiter" came on my radio and I was in a bind. Eat my favorite food in the world, or sing along to the song that I sit around and wait for? Needless to say, my taco got cold as I belted out the lyrics to my Number 1 song!

You guys are really on to something with your Drops of Jupiter CD. It is so full of diverse sounds and lyrics, all fantastic! I have only had your CD for a week and I just can't get enough of it (I'm glad I have a CD player on my PC at work) I really hope and pray that you guys are around for a long, long time. When are you coming to or near Pensacola, Florida?

MI. Show

Something has come at the last minute and I have just found myself unable to come to the show. When I choose to buy the ticket for a concert, it is because a specific group of people have created a sound that moves me. It is also a gesture of my appreciation for your ambition and talent. I hope tonights show is a great experience for you and, so you know, Clutch Cargo's is a renovated church...an interesting setting for "Drops of Jupiter". I was looking forward to hearing "Let it Roll" and "Something More", I'm sure the added energy of the live experience would have been phenomenal. Hope you will all see past the rain and find some fun to have this afternoon....as well, a wonderful evening. You all have something to be proud of....each other, and what you share with people like myself. :)

I'm a little late with this one, but between Train and Ben Harper, my trip from New Jersey to Atlanta for Music Midtown was well worth it! I lost my friends for your set, met another girl, and we succeeded in making our way through the crowd to the front :) --screw you all you guys who grabbed our asses on the way!-- Thank you for making my first real vacation a memorable one, I hope the pics come out good!

Train rocked Clifton Park!!

All's I have to say is Train is one the most amazing bands I've ever seen. The show was completely sold out on Sat. and it was one big sweat box. I loved every minute of it. Pat is so incredibly charismatic on stage. I was mesmerizewd by their performance. I can't wait til SPAC w/ MB20. Five for Fighting is a band to look out for, they put on a killer show as well. Peace : )

Hey Guys,

I was just wondering where in Australia you would be doing your concerts?
I live in Brisbane would love it if you came here - I would also make sure heaps of

Friday May 11

I ment to post earlier, but alas....
Anyway i was at the Philadelphia show last friday, and it was my first Train show. I already owned both albums and listened to them frequently, but seeing the songs live has given me a whole new appreciation for the music. Plus afterwords, Pat was real nice about giving me an autograph which most musicians with two hit albums arn't. I can't wait until the next Philadelphia show, so i'm trying to organize a road trip to catch another one. Admiration and Respect,

Toronto Opera House Concert

It is great to see a band that brings together music, words and emotion as well as you guys do. I had the priviledge of seeing you in concert last night in Toronto and what a show! It isn't often that you can say that a band sounds as good, if not better, live than they do on their recordings! I look forward to seeing you the next time you're around. To the fourth in our little group: I enjoyed dancing with you thoroughly - thanks for revelling in the music with me!

Toronto

Man, you guys had me worrried--it was past 8:00 pm and you were STILL waiting for your food at The Real Jerk. The way I looked at it however, as long as you were still sitting there, there was no way I was going to miss your show, so I wasn't panicking about the slow service. Once I looked up and saw you guys leaving--and we STILL didn't have our food--I got a little worried. Fortunately, we go inside in time to catch Five For Fighting, a great opening act, and all of your show. Too bad you didn't come back to do the 2nd encore, Let it Roll, since we were looking forward to hearing that tune. You guys are one of the most professional and interesting live acts I've seen in a long time, and I'm 46. Not a single note or peep or drum sound between songs, tight, tight playing and great "banter". The Hip cover would have been too much for everyone to take. Good luck with the Matchbox Tour. Are they opening for you? :)

See you again soon I hope.

Steve - Mon May 14 18:51:09 EDT 2001


AHH!! how refreshing

OK, I love the new album but please give them another singal. d-o-j is a beautiful song but the radio plays the heck out of like they don't have any other good songs by Train. But any hoot, does any one know what the "diamonds in the rock" are doing now a days? i hope they had a pleasurable mothers day. Mine actually went ok. I thought I would be horribly upset being that I just lost my mother this past January. I did not shed 1 tear, which is good. I choose every other day to cry about it. One thing that has helped is writing to whom ever and exposing myself to a certain degree. I have a poem I would like to share with you all as a reminder of how important it is that we never take one day of anyones life for granted. Here is my poem in loving memory of my mom, Johnella Evans
One Last Look
A beautifull look at age fourteen.
A look at myself before I was me.
Those vibrant eyes and full lips with a mole right above.
A potrait of what i look like before i was thought of.
Slender and sleek, a model of mink.
Character of high society most would think.
Made hard, mean and tough,
needless to say she had it rough.
Not by the look would you say so,
made up of loving-kindness and glow.
But now there is nothing there,
not even moisture in her hair.
Kindness toughness not a trace,
all that's left is a lifeless face.
As i watch mom in my mirror tears swell,
as i take one last look at the face i love so well.

what a great performance!

Hey Train guys!
I went to your Toronto performance at the Opera House and I thought you guys were great along with Five for Fighting! I was with my girl friends and I hope you guys remember we were the group of Asian girls (which consisted of two or three girls that couldn't stop giggling cuz we were a bit star struck). Anyway, I just want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU guys for being so NICE to us when we came up to most of you for hugs and autographs. We can't wait for you guys to come back in July! And keep up the great music you all make! Please keep in touch with us too guys! Thanks.

Hugs again,

Hi Train-
I can't wait to see you guy's in concert with matchbox twenty. Your music really rocks and it's so much better than all that pop music. Best of luck with your new tour and i hope you get more fans and popularity!

Bridget - Mon May 14 15:47:33 EDT 2001


Touring

Someone should tell Train to post their concert dates to jambase.com and espically pollstar.com, they barely know who you are man.

That's how I find all my concerts, I wouldn't have thought about you until my friend said they were playing locally, and I checked on this site.

Anyway, I really like drops of jupiter.

Philadelphia show

My 4th live Train performance in 4 wks...
and WOW! Philly was great! The top level
was rowdy (that's where you could drink).
Anything anyone has said about the guys
being nice, down-to-earth, etc... is sorely
understated. After the concert they were
so gracious, humble and funny as hell.
It was worth the trip from So Cal!

And... again, Train fans are the best!
Great time!!

Can You Say Smokin'?

Train - I just read your notes from the road.....

I was at the Philly show Friday Night (I was
the oldest one there and the only one
screaming!!)...These young kids are too
mellow....

Anyway can you stand it!! I had just posted
a note to you guys about my favorite song
"Blind" and then I go on the road notes page
and you guys are talking about it....

That is neat - that made me feel cool!
I think we have a connection here...
can we meet? (Ha)....

I'll have to catch ya again so I
can see "Blind" now that you're going
to play it....

see ya....

Opera House, May 13

The guys did a great show. It was my first time seeing them in concert and I was impressed.
I liked the Who cover at the very end, and had to laugh when someone nearby thought it
was a song the band had actually written...
All in all, good gig. Congrats.

Is this Train's debut CD? I heard Drops of Jupiter while riding through the Rocky Mountains late one night and fell in love with the song. I bought the CD 2 days after and it's great.

I just wanted to drop a line to tell everyone how amazing you guys rocked the Opera House in Toronto last night. My ears are still ringing but it's all good. I have one suggestion and it also happens to be Karen's suggestion (posted earlier) "it would be cool to do a Tragically Hip cover!" next time your here. I was the freak in the crowd yelling "hip, hip, hip" after you mentioned the 100th Meridian. It would have totally made the night for me, but hell you guys kicked ass anyway. Keep up the great work, and come back soon.

Train is a real band, made of real people.

Ttain just played at the Webster theatre in Hartford CT, and what a hell of a show. The opening band sincerly kicked ass, and they totally rocked the place. What I loved most was how they didn't mind playing a small theatre, they just wanted teir music heard and it didn't matter where they were. I was so impredded with the performance, I have seen alot of big named shows and they really put them to shame. Keep up the amesome work you guys are such awesome preformers. I loved how you related to the audience and really played for us. Good luck with the rest of the tour and if you are in CT again will you play at our Graduation?:)

Toronto, May 13th - Opera House, approximately 10:00 p.m.

Great Show boys.

Just wanted to drop a line to let everyone know how great the Toronto performance
was last night. I have been to many concerts and this is quite possibly the best one
I've ever seen. Train has amazing stage presence. I brought a few friends that had no
idea who or what Train was but they are now in love with the music.
If the guys in the band are reading this, thank you so very much for talking with us
outside and signing our tickets for us. Possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen
and we really really appreciated it. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
Can't wait till you come back, don't wait too long!!!!!!!! Luv Ya!!!!

Rock On!

I am going to be honest- I have never heard of you before "Dawson's Creek". I have the soundtrack and I heard your single "Respect" and I loved it. Then in the car I heard this shooting star song and started to listen to the words. Later that day my friend and I went out and both bought copies. Awesome!!! We both absolutely love the whole album. There was a sticker on the front of the case that stated "If you don't love this cd, Columbia will by it back from you". No need!! I can't wait to see you in concert and give me a call next time you're in Florida.

Thanks for the show in Phili Friday Night..
I was the one who stood the highest in the crowd..
cause I stood on the top bleacher - I was
surprised the other girls didn't copy me-
it was perfect - I was level with you guys!
All I did was smile cause you guys are all
so cute....

Can you guys do "Blind" sometime - that song
is one of my favorites! So is "Let it Roll"
It's neat it is one of you guys favorites too,
thanks for doing that song - did you hear
me scream it? (Ha!)

Stay "Smokin" and never loose your personalities!

Songs

Greetings:

Wonderful new CD. Great songs, very well done. I like the fact you didn't take two years to write and record it. That shows it comes from the heart and that all 5 of you are on the same page musically. As an "ex" semi-successful musician, I can appreciate that. I listen to eveything from "The Beatles" to "Marylin Manson". You are a welcome additon to my CD collection. Respect should be your next single. But it's the songs and Pat's voice that do it for me. There is no substitiution for well crafted songs, and you boy's got that in a big way! I'm just sorry you are not MY best kept sceret anymore! Good luck to all of you.

Butler concert--indy (as seen in pics on site)


I decided to leave early and skip some class
Cause i heard these train guys really kicked ass
So i journeyed to indy and butler that day
Not even shitty construction would stand in my way
Cause i was pumped, and i was psyched
This was one band i really liked
I sat row L section D toward the back
But when train said "fill the space" i was leading the pack
It was the best concert, nothing could be better
And the cherry on top was now i was front and center
With a really hot girl next to me that nite
We made out to train and i was feelin alright
It was nearing the end, seconds started to tick
I guess every ice cream cone must have its last lick
So it ended that day and my heart still does race
When i think of hearing train and that hot girl's lips in my face
You guys rock!!!

re:to explanation to "drops of Jupiter"

actually i just heard an interview on the radio with them and he was talking about the song. and actually there is no symbolism or anything to that song. he just went into a room and wrote for 4 hours and came up with this song. it kindda came from a dream.......or something......i didnt really understand the whole thing. but i hope that answers your question.

Explanation to Lyrics of "Drops of Jupiter"

Hey guys, I'm a new Train fan ever since hearing "Drops of Jupiter". The thing is, i don't really understand the lyrics to it. I know it must be filled with metaphors and stuff, but can someone please explain what the symbolism and stuff in the song is to me? Thanks so much!

Tonight's Toronto Concert at The Opera House

I just got back from the concert! OMG - I was *feet* away from Pat! lol :D I hope the band didn't mind that everyone sang along to "Meet Virginia" and "Drops of Jupiter" and I must say that I'm so glad you didn't leave them 'till the end or make us scream too long for an encore. :) I couldn't believe I saw Pat, Jimmy and Scott walking down the street when I was in line! You guys are *so* humble and I hope you stay that way. Pat put a cowboy hat on a girl's head in the crowd and wants her to fly down to San Francisco on May 26th to meet him. I hope she does it and that Pat sees that hat again like he said he wants to... Lucky girl. I wish I was going.

TOUR MANAGER

In regards to Teri's bashing of Tom, the TRAIN tour manager....I just saw TRAIN for the 28th,29th, and 30th times this weekend. I have come across Tom at least 15 times. He has always been kind, accomodating, considerate, and caring. Even at last night's show, I saw him give out free bottled water to the people in the crowd because the club was so hot. He also made room in the front of the stage for a person in a wheelchair. He goes ABOVE and BEYOND, and he is worth MORE than whatever TRAIN is paying him......
Sorry Teri, but I can only assume that the person YOU came across was an IMPOSTOR, and not the real tour manager.....

Jason - Mon May 14 00:35:54 EDT 2001


THANKS!!!

I was one of those screaming fans in Atlanta last weekend!!! You guys are the best...that was the 6th time I have seen you. I am from Birmingham, Alabama originally your 2nd home and moved to Atlanta last year. I was lucky enough to see you guys at Southern Tracks when you did a small show for 99X. As always you were wonderful. You guys quit signing autographs in Atlanta at MusicMidTown 5 minutes too soon!!! I wish you were going to be closer for my birthday but you will be in LA on June 4 and do not guess you could make it to Atlanta on the 5th for my big 30!! One day I will get to meet you guys!! Thanks for all the great music!!! I can always pop in the CD when I need to be lifted up or if I need to chill-out with Mississippi..
Keep it up and I look forward to the seeing you guys again soon!!!

Tour dates

OK, I'mjust chillin out in front of the tv, being lazy, and I hear the most amazing thing.
Train and Matchbox20 are going on tour together. Very, very, very, and may I just say
very cool. Ok, so now my questions are, 1) is it a sure thing? and 2)When!When!When!
So if anyone has the skinny, give me a holler.
Thanks Much,

great music

hi!

Well...I don't really have anything really important to say...I am a normal, 24 year old, happily married woman, who is a mother of a 2 year old and I am a graduate student (really not important, lol). The reason I say this is to let you know that I am just a normal person, not some music critic...just someone who really loves your music. Your CD has been in my car for months and I have no intention of taking it out any time soon.In fact, I just bought another copy to put in our other car so that I could hear it in any car I was in, lol. I love the music! I am a huge music fan, but this last year I had been feeling empty...no new music that I felt was worth buying, and for me-that was not normal. I use to buy a CD at least every week. When I heard Drops of Jupiter on the radio I had to drive myself straight to the music store, and I swear that I was there before the song ended on the radio. Your music struck a cord with me, the lyrics, the melody that I can't get out of my mind!, its beautiful and meaningful. I can actually feel the love you all have for the music in this CD by listening to it...And that is what Rock n Roll is all about! Thanks for reminding me and helping me realize that rock isn't dead! I just wanted to tell you that! (and to ask "when the hell are you coming to Texas!" ....haha.)
Always your fan,

I just have to say that last night was kick ass! We won passes to the sound check, then watched the show from the front row, and even hung out with the band for a little while during another autograph session. AMAZING! After all your fame, you guys all manage to have level heads! Just wanted to say congrats on the second record release. Scott, that was a very sweet gift you gave your mom last night.

Can't wait to see you at SPAC!!

For all of you who think DOJ is the first album, PLEASE go buy the first release "Train". Both are very excellent!!

dawn - Sun May 13 22:44:49 EDT 2001


LOL

I was just over at the Matchbox twenty web sight for tour dates and I desided to stop in the forums to hear the buzz for the shows. Well turns out while most people dont know what Train sounds like they are refuring to them as "eye candy" for the shows lmao. Oh well the looks will get them there and the music will suck them in! =0)

Soul

I have been a fan of your music for a while now but I was so impressed with 'Drops of Jupiter' that I wanted to send a line.
I heard on the radio that you compose while doing soundchecks for the simple fact that you are all together. It amazes me to think of this when I listen to your soulful sounds, especially 'Drops' and 'I Wish You Would'. They illustrate the very same emotions and feelings I have had in my own life recently.
Thanks for creating music that touches all of the senses.

Courtney - Sun May 13 14:37:09 EDT 2001


Inner Peace

Hello. I saw you guys Friday night in Philly - my roommate developed a Train obsession in the past week and insisted we go. Good show - I have to say it was a hilarious juxtaposition to be standing in a crowd with girls ducking the guy who was spraying water in the front and to see Pat up on stage with that blissful look on his face. I love intensity in life, and those who possess it.

IN FACT I REALLY LIKE YOUR WHOLE CD, (THE NEW ONE), BUT THOSE SONGS IN PARTICULAR ALONG WITH WHIPPING BOY. I AM TELLING ALL MY FRIENDS AND POSTING ON MY WEBSITE FOR EVERYONE TO GO BUY THIS CD, B/C ANYONE WHO APPRECIATES MUSIC, WILL LOVE IT. WELL DONE.

Philly Concert

I just have to agree, Philly last night was a truly memorable experience. I knew it'd be great, but you guys were amazing last night, well worth the 2 hour drive, and I'd have paid a hell of a lot more than 10 dollars (I even got to be right in front!) Last night was the third time I've seen you guys and I couldn't even say anything, it was so great (I couldn't really hear anything either, but I was probably the happiest near deaf person alive.) Anyway, just want to tell you how incredible you guys are, and how thankful that I, an everyone else at the show last night I'm sure, is for you guys coming out and performing for us, and I'm really hoping to catch you guys again over the summer, or whenever I get the chance next.

lyrics

Did you know that you have a few mistakes in your lyrics for Drops of Jupiter? I felt you should know since you ARE the official site. (I'm not trying to being rude) here they are........

- since the return OF(not from) her stay on the moon

- and did you miss me while you were looking FOR(not at) yourself out there

- she checks out mozart while she does tae-bo
she reminds me that there's ROOM (not time)to grow

- and did you fall FROM (not for) a shooting star


Also at the end of the repeat of the first chorus why did you not include the added phrases he adlibs at the end of the song....

- did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day

- and did you fall from a shooting star....fall from a shooting star

- (I think its...) and while you were looking for yourself out there......

jackson concert

I attended the Jackson, MS concert at Hal and Mal's on April 30 of this year. One word: AWESOME!!! We got to stand in the very front right on the stage. Pat reached out and touched my hand twice. (Thanks Pat. I needed that.) I know that everyone in the place probably believed that they made eye contact, but I really did because Pat and I laughed at the exact same time while he was singing Hopeless and looking at me. Hopeless is such a great song. I hope Train doesn't let the radio get to it and ruin it. That would make a lot of people really upset. Well, I just wanted to thank Train for being the most REAL band I have ever seen. Keep up the great work guys! Never stop having fun with it. I love you all.

AHH! The simplicity of it!

Okay, do I have to beg and plead for Train to come to Memphis. It's not like we don't love you too. So, who has the scoop on what they will be doing next. I just like to be in the mist talent like myself. But, I am sort of tired of the radio station playing J-O-J back to back like they don't have other good songs. I got a poem I want to share with you all, but I want to know do you want to hear it. It's related to a story that I just recently told the members of the band. I fell in love for a minute but I was so far out there looking for myself that I just happened to miss. I dont even know where in the world this man is. But I'm not trying to pursue him, I still haven't found myself yet but I'm still loking, hoping, and wishing somehow I will find that inner home. But, any hoot, if you want to see it,put a message on the board. If not oh well I'll do it anyway :o)

Philly Concert

The concert in Philly was AMAZING last night. The whole band was in a great mood, and Pat was really in good form. I've never left a concert feeling so satisfied. Train is with out a doubt, one of the most talented bands out there and they deserve every bit of praise they get. If I could see every single show I would. Plus! The Zepplin and Aerosmith covers rocked! Again, thank you for providing me with such enjoyment last night.

i just wanted to thank train for putting out a great cd with beautiful music. its not to often that a cd can be so.... poetic. at times it can move me to tears. this is a great cd with wonderfull lyrics that reach out, grab you and pull you into their world. this cd goes from one end of the spectrum of emotions and back, mississippi is this huanting song it gives me chills, shes on fire is just this burst of energy that we have the pleasure of listening to. they really put it all out on the table for the album.
and all i can say to the band is thank you for the beautifull music.


just one more thing --- please come to kansas city or somewhere close. i went to red white and boom last year just to see you guys and then i left after you guys performed. you guys were great. so come to us here in kc or lawrence (liberty hall is a great place for concerts) anyway thanks

Drops of Jupiter

Thanks for such a deep soulful song.. if ever there was a song that told of my soul this one is it.. thanks so much and love all your music!!

Philly was AWESOME!!!

It's often been said of Genesis that they were a better live band than on record. The same can be said of Train! Last night in Philly was amazing! I haven't found many bands whose show left me actually blown away. I can't say enough about it.

I like to say this to the band ... THANK YOU FOR SAVING ROCK AND ROLL! After what's been shoved down our collective throats for the past few years that's been called "music", it's great to finally have a band who not only can give us a great CD where every track is worth listening but also they actually exceed the CD during live shows.

I am totally blown away! Thank you!

Tour Manager

Teri-
I booked Train to play at my school last year. Their manager was great. He was a great guy that did everything in his power to accomodate us. I know that Train prides themselves on having one of the best crews out there. Sorry for your bad experience, I really don't know the situation. I know that he has a job to do, and as a guy that has promoted many shows, I can tell you that he is one of the best out there. Everyone is entitled to a bad day, and that may have been the case. Either way, don't let this little mishap affect your decision to be a fan of Train. I am sure that there is some explanation......

Jason - Sat May 12 00:31:16 EDT 2001


REAL

I've been a TRAIN fan for a long time. Their music is very real. I relate to every aspect of their writing, both lyrically and musically. When I turn on the radio and hear TRAIN being played, I have hope for the future of music...it's slim pickens' these days. I have much love for everyone out there on the train line.
...They remind that there's room to grow.
p.s.
I think I'm in love with virginia...anyone know her?

Stepp - Sat May 12 00:18:59 EDT 2001


New Album

Q & A (?)

This is the first time I've bought an album with a money back guarantee. I have three questions:
1. Has anyone ever returned it?
2. What were they thinking?
3. Coming to Cleveland?

Teri B. - Fri May 11 23:19:44 EDT 2001


Train tour manager

I just wanted to say I am no longer a Train fan because of that man. Not only is he rude and disrepectful but he could use a few lessons in listening and humility. The band should be ashamed to him as a representative of theirs. He's not fit to manage a gas station in my eyes. Sad how it only takes one person to ruin something good.

Train in D.C.

Hi everyone! Is anyone here going to the DC101 Chili Cookoff on Saturday, May 19th in Washington, D.C.? I can't wait! This will be the second time I've seen Train. I saw them once last summer at a concert called the "Z For All" - for a Washington, D.C. radio station concert (w/ Savage Garden, Jon Secada, etc...). I'm so excited to see them again. I even bought a new Train shirt (that cute little orange-ish tank top). I hope they sing "Light My Fire". Does anyone know if they ever sing that in concert? Okay, I'll stop rambling on now... bye!

Nashville - Avery

Hey guys, this is a little late, but just wanted to say that you guys were incredible at Riverstages, above and beyond the best. It was worth the money just see you. You need to come back to Nashville sometime soon and you need to play "Avery" that is my favorite song. I do, however, like the rest. Thanks for a great show.

Nashville Riverstage Blowout

Well, the gang and I made it to Nashville from Motown. Hands down, we enjoyed
Train's set over and above any other bands. Wallflowers (yawn). The Cult-cool.
Bob Dylan sounded as good as I ever heard him, though. Still, no band energized
the crowd the way that Train did. Everyone just sang along. Your set should have
been longer and closed the night. But hey, she don't care about that anyway.
She said it was beautiful.

Love Drops of Jupiter

I love the new CD, I've been listening to it non-stop since I bought it. Refreshing to hear something authentic on the radio rather than all these manufactured boy-bands. I'm hoping I can make it to the show in Toronto this weekend!

JennGB - Fri May 11 10:07:49 EDT 2001


Atlanta's Music Midtown

Hey guys!
Your latest CD kicks, and y'all's set at the Music Midtown in Atlanta was awesome, but y'all signing autographs for my sister was the coolest of all. The night before, she got snubbed by one of her favorite bands, and she was upset. I had just about given up hope in bands coming through for her, that is, until y'all came through. She was so excited to meet y'all, and I just wanted to give a heartfelt thanks. You guys are truly an awesome band.

I am absolutly in love with " I Wish You Would" and "It's About You". I can honestly say that this is my favorite CD. I can't wait to hear more from Train.

Meagan Finnegan - Thu May 10 22:05:37 EDT 2001


the nicest guys i have ever met

Pat,bobby,charlie,scott,jimy are htenicest men ihave ever met in this ol' city of Boston.Pat was bursting with emotion during their show last night at the paradise ( which i never would have been able to go to had they not given me tickets earlier that after noon)it was enought o make you cry- i know becasue i did repeatedly. They were just so nice and kind hearted the truly seem like beutiful people. Scott has a great sense of humor,and bobby was just so kind and sweet.I just wish they knew jus how much their music really means to me. But its amazing to think that in this not so perfect world soemone could pin point the feeling that you had been trying to decipher for ages,and write them in 2 spectacular albums, so that you have that song that just makes you feel better. Meet virginia wasthat song for me- i would put that song on and sing it as loud as i could and cry and sing untili finally felt better about where i was at in my life.god they are some great people, thanks for writing music i can relate to, because in this day and age, all people really need is somthing to relate to, or someone to say the words they have struggled with. You guys rocked the house last night, adn thanks for all you did, meeting me at the radio station, adn giving me the tix. And above all else, thanks for dealing with my little 12-year-old-girl-meeting-the-backstreet -boys drama when i cried like i had just salvaged from a storm at sea, you guys just mean the world to me. A fan forever, Krystal

Drops Of Jupiter

Well, first of all my name is Ellisa and I don't know who wrote the song Drops Of Jupiter but, they wrote it for me and if they ever met me then they would meet an inspiration they never even knew. It is absolutely the most awesome lyrics that I have ever heard and the way that Train performs the song it just sends a wave of chills over my body everytime I hear it. The very first time I heard the song I started crying and couldn't stop, it was just like every line in that song was an exact example of me. The song is with out a doubt my all time favorite.

Ellisa - Thu May 10 19:04:12 EDT 2001

Then I met you again at 99x radio show right before meet virginia broke. I have seen you several times since then. The best show to date was in a small place in nashvile called the exit inn.

Good Show!

Guys,

Just caught you at the 96 Wave Fest 16th Birthday Party in Charleston, SC on the 6th. With so many other bands playing (about 8), why was I not surprised you outshone them ALL!!!! Thanks so much for the great show, especially in light of the limitations in time, equipment, etc. Absolutely awesome!

And for all you new fans out there, please check out the debut LT, titled simply Train. Just like Drops of Jupiter, every single song is fantastic.

Guys, please head back to the southeast again soon.

Paradise Found

Hey Boyz....
Caught ya at the Paradise last night and I must say you guys were everything I expected and more. It was truly awesome - Everything was great - some favorites were 'Free' 'She's On Fire' 'Ramble-On' (amazing as always) 'Hopeless' 'It's About You' 'I am' 'Heavy' (although I wish you played the whole song) and of course the little ole tribute to the Bad Boys from Boston, 'Last Child'.

Hey Jimmy - thanks for allowing me to be a first by gettin' your auto in the piss house - too funny eh?

I got into your music when I heard half of 'Free' on the radio 2 years ago - I immediately went out bought the CD and am still blown away by it to this day. The new CD is equally tremendous. I saw you guys twice in Boston - 2 years ago when ya warmed it up and stole the show from Better Than Ezra and last year when you played an outside show at Government Center. You guys just keep getting better! For us fans that have been with ya for a few years, these small shows are the best and we hate to see ya move on to bigger venues. However your music deserves to be heard and enjoyed by millions - See ya at Lupo's.

You Guys Rock

I caught your show last night at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston. I so glad that you guys play some small venues. I had the chance to be right up against the stage, and it was great.. Also Aerosmith would be pround of your rendition of their song. However, Hopeless will always be my personal favorite. My only regret is that I didn't get to meet all of you. Hope that you'll come back to Boston soon.... Kerri

Mississippi

I just saw your show tonight at the Paradise. You were amazing. I saw you the first time last summer at the Basilica in Minneapolis. It was so hot that day. I remember thinking you guys were amazing, but I was admittedly disappointed that you didn't play "Homesick". You played it tonight. But most importantly to me, you played Mississippi. Ever since I got the tickets to the show, I've been hoping that you'd play that track. I know it's a little slower than most of your others, but it speaks to me.

I'm in finals right now and I keep your disks in my Cd player in the library. Whenever Drops of Jupiter and Mississippi come on, I stop studying and just close my eyes and breathe. yesterday I cried during Drops of Jupiter--right there in the middle of the library. People must think I'm a freak. But it speaks to me. I was in this relationship a while back and haven't been able to let go. Someday I want to be the girl in that song--the one that's figured herself out and decided she's ready to go back to the one person who would accept her no matter who she is. But for now, I feel like I'm the girl in Mississippi. The one that's a little too headstrong to flow to her soul mate. Maybe someday I'll get it all figured out.

You guys are my eggplant. No doubt.

Ya'lls show at the Tremont

Thank you Train for coming to the Tremont in Charlotte, NC. We were on the bleachers next to the beer lady up above everyone with a clear view of the whole room and stage! What a great concert that was!! Ya'll were absolutely awesome!!! And fellow Train Fans if you love them on cd's... these guys will blow you away live!!!! Don't pass up the opportunity to experience their show if you get it.
Ramble On...

Dean and Dana - Wed May 9 23:07:30 EDT 2001


Where from?

For a while I've been wondering where Train is from. The music sounds southern but for all I know they could have been born in England. So yeah that's what I wanted to know. Thanks. Ciao, Tori

Train

Hey guys,

just thought I would drop on the board here and post being I have just come across your site. I have heard your song on the radio recently and I must say that I am astounded by the intensity of it! It is about time that artists that have such a great talent get the chance to show what they are made of. Keep up the good work and I may see you guys at the clutch cargo's show on the 15th if I can make it out there. :) take care. peace

Simply FANTASTIC!

Incredible! I can't imagine why I have never heard of you guys before, but I was lucky enough to see the "Drops of Jupiter" video the other morning on VH1 - and I was gone! Your music is so refreshing. I always thought I had rather eclectic tastes in music, but I was obviously missing some. Thank you for allowing me to broaden my horizons! I'm off to buy the CD!

I am so relieved to have, finally, the most liberating CD EVER created. Pat, your voice is heaven sent, thank you for sharing it with us. If you gentlemen ever decide to take a wild chance and party with Houston's best, call me. I am one of the lucky people on this earth who knows what wakes them up every morning....music.
You are my favorite vacation.....every day.
Hugs, kisses, and a trainload of exhilirating moments ;)
Your show at Houston's BuzzFestival was outstanding, I am a fan for life. Yvonne

Lyrics to Drops of Jupiter

i found the lyrics....im just dumb and didn't look good eough.

For everyone who wanted to know...

Drops of Jupiter

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

Repeat 1st Chorus

Tour question.....

Hello all! I just wanted to say first that I fell in love with Train when I was working at a music store (Music 4 Less) and we got their promo in, and I played it so much in store that the manager got sick of it and made me take it home, never to be played in store again! =o( But that's not why I'm here!

I heard some rumours and hearsay that Train will be doing some touring with matchbox twenty and they would be making a stop here in Colorful Colorado sometime in September. Sadly I missed their stop here back in April, and I've already seen M.T. so just to see Train would be incredible! And you know, M.T. would be cool, too. ;-)

So any info would be greatly appreciated!

Peace and Love!

9 out of 10 people I know have never heard of Train!!!

Does this make the rest of the population who has never had the opportunity to experience Train unfortunate....or are Train fans just a wee bit superior to the uninformed masses?

After telling several people I was going to a Train concert, and they said "WHO?"....all I could do was smile. Then of course, tell them what they're missing if they don't check this band out.

Counting the Hours 'til Hartford Show

What a perfect day! The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing summer our way, I just picked up our tix for the Hartford show (tomorrow). Does it get much better than that? Front row? Backstage? Ya that would rock! But just being there, feeding off the positive rock vibe,snugged up with my special dude,that'll do nicely! Thanks for coming to town guys! I can't wait for the show!! ROCK!

drops of jupiter

When I first heard "Drops of Jupiter" on the radio, I was traveling out of town to visit a close friend. As I was driving down the road, the radio disc jockey started talking about this great new song and how he was completely in love with the lyrics. I have the first Train album (I love ever single song and know that I drive my neighbors crazy singing each song all the time) and I was eager to hear the new release. I was so caught up, attempting to hear every single lyric, that I almost collided with a vehicle that had swerved into my lane. I do not know what helped me to react and to stop in time to miss the car. But I do remeber cursing more because I had missed a verse in all of the excitement, rather than because I almost got killed. I guess you can say that I really am fond of the new song.

Thanks!!

Just wanted to say how great your concert was in Charlotte. I had to drive back to Greensboro that night (1-1/2 hours away) but put in the DOJ CD and continued to enjoy you guys. I loved being in that venue so that we as the fans could be close enough to see how much fun you have singing. How awesome is it to stop singing and listen to a room full of people singing YOUR songs with all of their hearts? There was one time that you had the biggest smile on your face just listening to us sing. It was very cool. DOJ is undoubtably the best CD I have in my collection. You have now bumped Counting Crows to second :-) I have told so many people that usually with CDs you have 2-3 good songs on it, but DOJ doesn't have a bad song on it. I would love to hear Something More get air time. That song really affected me. I think that's what I like about your music. It doesn't apply to just one type of person. The feelings and emotions are universal. Anyway, I can't wait until you guys are back in this area. Thanks again for an incredible evening.

Drops of Jupiter

I know it's been said a thousand times by the first single for the album really is a great song. I hate to be unoriginal but it's what real music should be. I'm posting this message with regards to the lyrics of "Drops of Jupiter". I was wondering if anyone has some insight by what they mean when they sing "Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated"? Especially the last bit. Thanks.

Music Midtown

I just wanted to tell ya'll that your Music Midtown concert in Atlanta, Georgia was so
freaking awesome....I would have to say it is the best concert I have ever been to...
they were so awesome!! They definitely knew how to work the crowd and get them
going...right after the concert I had to get their new cd "Drops of Jupiter" which also
rocks just like the band!! :) I got to meet them for a second time and they were of course
reallly nice guys...luckily we got their autographs right before they had to leave I got their
autographs...I was the lost person which was cool...TRAIN is the best band in the world..

I had an awsome view at Music Midtown ( Atlanta- I agree with the previous person that wrote about Atlanta the crowd was tough, but well worth it). You can't even imagine how estaic I was to see you on the scheduel. You blew The Wallflowers out of the Sky! I don't now how yet, but your music and performance has altered my life forever, Thank You for that :) Now it's time for me to figure out how i am going to get to Chicago cause I want to see this tour at least one more time. Please don't stay in Europe or Japan for long. May I Applaud you on your Stage pressence. You have a lifelong fan! I look foward to the day that I can tell you this in person :) Till then
I Love You Guys

Pat Monahan/donna

To Donna, who was inquiring about Pat's musical influences. I once asked him that question and the first person he mentioned was James Taylor. I don't think the band is "modeled" after any other band, although the Counting Crows had a huge influence b/c one of them produced the first record. Also, maybe, Led Zep. They have an old song called "Avery" that many of my friends have mistaken for the Counting Crows....which brings up another Crow(es)...The Black Crowes...I've heard people compare them to that band, although I think it is more the similarity between Pat and Chris Robinson's styles. You know, white men with soul, trapped in....well, you get the picture!

Looking forward to Toronto!

I fell in love with the Drops of Jupiter single after seeing the performance on Craig Kilbourne and finally bought the CD last week. Then I checked out this site to discover Train will be in my city on Sunday, what timing! After a few emails, I convinced my sister to come with me and she hasn't even heard of Train...I predict she will fall in love with this music like I have! I'm also impressed with the bands involvement in the site/fans via the road diary, very cool guys! Can't wait for the show....

I can't wait to see you again!! Maybe next time I'll get to meet you....

Inspired

Everything from the beginning of the Train fame has been inspiring. Any song from the first album and now more recent, the single "Drops of Jupiter" has been a breathtaking moment for me. There are only a few artists that can do that to me, namely Eric Clapton, Sting, Stevie Nicks, Aimee Mann and Joni Mitchell. I have a broad taste in music but there are a handful that just hits harder than the rest. Train has succeeded in doing that and I wish them the best years ahead of them and to the remembrance of the good years behind them. Kudos!

Cristy - Tue May 8 21:09:03 EDT 2001


From ATL to TRAIN:

Thanks, TRAIN for a wonderful performance. Although the crowd was almost insufferable, (esp. if you were one of the closer ones stuck in a bloody mosh pit!) and not respectful enough to know the words to the new - or the 'older' tunes, it was still a rush! Rob - never saw such a more serene smile; Jimmy - stage presence almost up to Pat's; Charlie - as 'on' as ever, and Scott - what an amazing solo - the improvs were phenom - so here's to you.

And since "Sharks has such a great little jazzy thang goin' on, I wanted to give back a little something: check out www.darolanger.com - then look for 'links' for the D'Adario strings, and the great article from C. Love (yes)on piracy - and it ain't w/ the fans, but piracy of the rec co. from the artists. It's on his 'stuff' icon, I think. Let me know if you like it, and I think you'd like his artistry and vision of music in general. That all, except thanks, and come again to Atlanta for a smaller venue - pulease. Regards. Lor

A touch of beauty in the world

While going through one of the roughest times of my life, when everything seemed dark, tainted, I discovered that in a few places, if you look, you can see faint glimpses of beauty. Drops of Jupiter is one you can actually hear.

To say that it is a work of magnificent poetry set to music is an understatement. It lifts me, every time I hear it. I want to soar through the lyrics with the cellos and piano, high above to where the world looks peaceful again.

It is so refreshing to find a group who can make such imagery come to life.

I would love to know what inspired the songwriter.

Congratulations on a such a wonderful piece of art!

Not Enough Words to Describe

I am usually the type person that likes to ramble on but there are no words to describe how wonderful Train's performance was in Nashville, TN. Friday, May 4th at River Stages. I saw them for the first time two years ago at 328 Performance Hall in Nashville and again for my second time this last weekend at River Stages. I am eagerly awaiting the chance to enjoy their unbeleivable talent once again.

Fantastic

I bought the "Drops of Jupiter" album soley for that song and listened to it hundreds of times over when in the car. As soon as the song ended, I'd start it over again until one day in traffic when I was focusing more on driving than on the music and before I realized it, I had sat and listened to the album all the way through....I have got to say that as a whole, the album is awesome. It is so rare to buy cds nowadays where all the songs are quality music and absolutely fabulous. The cd hasn't left my car in well over a week since I bought it and my new faves are Respect, Let it Roll and Mississippi. I am definitely Hooked on Train. You guys are awesome!!

Atlanta Show

Fantastic show by Train on Saturday....Although the stage was "Borrowed" the band came through well and showed that amidst their hectic schedule they still enjoy their passion for producing some "high quality" ballads that flow. With a few humble quirks of insoghts into each of the songs to be played next, the band seemed to be flawless and seamless during a music festival when some other "veteran" acts met with rigidly scripted and highly predictable stories of what seems to be just another day at the office to them. Train is fresh, inspiring, and simply has a funky flow that must be experienced....buy their albums and follow Train to their next stop...you'll be glad you did and you mught even get lucky..hot chicks dig the boys that Met Met Virginia and call her Mississippi.

Everybody-THESE are the REAL lyrics to MEET VIRGINIA

She doesn't own a dress, her hair is always a mess
If you catch her stealing she won't confess
She's beautiful
Smokes a pack-a-day,
wait that's me but anyway
She doesn't care a thing about that hey
She thinks I'm beautiful.
Meet Virginia
She never compromises, lovees babies and surprises
wears hi-heels when she excersizes
ain't that beautiful
Meet Virginia
Well she wants to be the queen, then she thinks about her scenes. Pulls her hair back as she screams "I don't really wanna be the queen."
Her daddy wrestles alligators,mama works on carboratrs
her brother is a fine amidiator-for the president
well here she is again on the phone just like me hates to be alone
we just like to sit home-an' rip on the president
Meet Virginia (mmm right)
Well she wants to live her life, then she tinks about her life. Pulls her hair back as she screams "I don't really wann live this life."
(break)
She only drinks coffee at midnight,
when the moment is not right,
her timing is quite-unusual.
You see her confidence is tragic,
but her intuition magic,
and the shape of her body-unusual.
Meet Virginia
I can't wait to;
Meet Virginia yeah.......
Well she wants to be the queen, then she thinks about her scenes.
Well she want to live her life, then she thinks about her life. Pulls her hair back as she screams:
"I don't really wanna be the queen" (ah-ah)
"I don't really wanna be the queen" (ah-ah)
"I don't really wanna be the queen" (ah-ah)
"I don't really wanna live this.........."

My fav's are Drops of Jupiter, (my daughter's name is Summer Rain), It's about you, Hopeless, Let it Roll, Whipping Boy and Mississippi. Actually all the songs are great! It's a rockin
album. Thanks for putting your all into it! Can't wait for the next one! Truely Autumn Reinoso

Charlotte

Well, Iris, the radio station 106.5 ran an online
contest where you just had to send in an e-mail telling your favorite song on the new cd and why.
My good friend, Don, (see his post below) was one of the winners and I went along as his guest. We were able to sit in on soundcheck and meet the guys afterward. It was "too sweet" to say the least! These guys are soooo nice!

Toronto Tickets/ TicketMaster

Hey!
I will be in Toronto on May 13th. I tried to order tickets thru TicketMaster for the
show at the Opera House, but was told that mailing it to me would not get
here in time, and all TicketMaster locations are closed on Sunday-
so I couldn't pick it up. (US TicketMaster offices are not connected)
I saw TRAIN in Denver and would love to see them again.
If anyone has a brilliant idea in Toronto, let me
know! Many Thanks

Last night in Charlotte...

First off I'd like to say that last night was pure magic. From start to finish it was a very high engergy and very inspirational evening. I was lucky enough to win the local contest to sit in on Train's soundcheck w/ about 9 others and talk about a great treat. Meeting the guys was a great experience. They were all so nice and such incredible individuals. As a singer/songwriter myself, i was happy to see that good songs have not died. They very much live in the form of Train.
The show was amazing. From the opening of the electrifying "Respect" to the sooting, erie sounds of "Mississippi" two hours later there was alot of energy. They even pulled out "Last Child" by Aerosmith which they did for us at soundcheck and they just slammed thru it like they've known it forever. Personal highlights was "She's On Fire", "Mississippi", and as always, "Ramble On" which had everyone jumping.
Guys, thanks for a great show and for creating new and wonderful memories for me. I hope to see you guys as much as possible on this tour so please come back to the Southeast again soon.
I'd love to hear from anyone that was at the Charlotte show as well and keep in touch. Any other contest winners reading this please get in touch with me. (Jennifer and her man, forgot to get your e-mail! Sorry. Please get in touch with me...)
Peace and music to you all!!!!

Thoughts on 'Drops of Jupiter'


I am completely blown away. I remember my brother telling me about this 'great band' he had heard in Atlanta a while back (actually just before 'Meet Virginia' dropped). He said their name was Train and I should go see them if I ever got a chance.

Well, I still haven't seen you guys live, but I did pick up the new album 'Drops of Jupiter' just a few short days ago and I'm truly stunned.

I play a little guitar, although my real passion is poetry. I'm a writer by heart and by nature, so I have an eternal fascination with the art and craft of songwriting.

I am truly blown away by the depth of this album guys. The gems though, are definitely 'Drops of Jupiter', 'It's About You', and 'Mississippi'.

I know that 'Drops of Jupiter' is going to end up being a huge single, but 'It's About You' and 'Miss...' are definitely my favorites. The CD has been spinning nonstop since I bought it and I imagine it will continue its rotation for many days and weeks to come.

Thanks for showing us what being a true 'rock and roll band' is really about. In modern society it's all about the 'bling-bling', the 'bentley', and all your 'bitches'. Won't society ever stop and learn to appreciate what true music, lyrics, and the pouring out of heartfelt emotion truly sound like...????

Sincerely,
Shane

Shane - Tue May 8 04:06:23 EDT 2001


wow

man, i was serious tonight when i told you you guys rocked...what a FANTASTIC show!! (CHARLOTTE) Man, I am bound and determined to find you in Europe while I'm there... I love you guys. Thanks for being incredibly talented...that is unique in this day and age. Can't wait to find you again! Love, Tanya....:) kisskiss

Charlotte, NC

Guys,I am so blown away! That was an incredible show you just did in Charlotte. It was my first
time seeing you perform live and it was a show I
will never forget. There was so much electricity
on & off the stage. Thank you for having us in on
soundcheck as well as for your autographs and the
pictures. That was so much fun meeting you because
you are all just super nice. Pat, it's so true what you said how music brings people together. It
means alot to see how much you appreciate your fans as much as they appreciate you! Thanks again you guys for an incredible night! Good luck in Boston tomorrow night. I'm sure they'll love "that
song that you guys wrote"!!

Gina - Tue May 8 01:36:39 EDT 2001


Iris is back (;

I have a strong desire to know Mr.Patrick Monahan personally. (And all the rest of the guys, don't get defensive!!) I was in heaven last month at my first concert. It's a shame the guys don't tour into July or somthing like that. I'm just glad I went to one concert at all! Usually I don't get this carried away, and I'm kind of worried, but I am not obsessed. I think it's healthy and beneficial!! I adore this band as everyone here does, I just wanted to reinforce it!! If I had an oppertunity to meet the guys I'd sacrafice quite a bit. Not the REALLY important things in life, but ya know, pretty darn big!!

Iris - Tue May 8 01:24:38 EDT 2001


Congrats!

I went to Music Midtown depsite the fact that I am not one for big crowds BUT I had to see you guys perform AGAIN! It was definitely worth it and I wanted to say "great job" on the new album - all the songs are fabulous! I always tell people you guys are the nicest group of guys I have ever met since meeting you in Jacksonville with my brother (Ryan Williams). I wish you all the best and congratulations on your success.

Angie Williams - Tue May 8 01:10:33 EDT 2001

Crystal - Mon May 7 23:55:07 EDT 2001


alive

As I was sitting on my computer listening to "Drops of Jupiter" that my sister has still open on the screen, I felt compelled to come check out the train website and see what was going on with the band. I listened to you guys alot during the "meet virginia" days, and really liked the entire album. Then nothing new for a while, and I didn't listen to Train too much. So I hear "Drops of Jupiter" a few times and remember what a great band Train is. To be quite honest, I cannot really tell what "Drops of Jupiter " is about. I've listened to the lyrics a few times to try and figure it out, but none the less... I get this amazingly uncanny, alive, sublime feeling listening to it. And it has been written in such a fashion that the music alone compels a listener (myself astleast) to feel a very definite emotional and heartfelt presence in that song. Thank you for keeping music alive like that, and sharing yourselves with people. Thanks for reminding me how beautiful music and the world is. Yes, you did this by just one song. Kudos to you. :)

Subject of your message

My pet hamster larry, whom we affectionately call larry the hamster, is going to the hamster gallows today. He was accused of accosting a man who had past out drunk and naked on cinco de mayo. It was not larry's fault though. You see I have been a lonely man for many years and I am afraid that I may have inadvertently taught him that burrowing into certain areas of the human anatomy was a way to show affection; and because of it he is now going to be sent to hamster heaven. Train, could you please write a beautiful song for my best friend in the world larry the hamster so we can look back fondly on the memories we shared
in a world to close minded to understand the love between a man and his hamster

TRAIN FANS!!!

Hello! Yes, it is me again. I forgot to say one thing...I am a drummer and I thought that the drum solo that you guys did in B-ham at 5points music hall was great, especially Pats percussion part. It rocked. I would also like to commend you on your terrific job in Nashville TN at river stages. My cousin and I attended the show for her b-day, she is now a FULL NON STOP TRAIN FAN...you guys are creating MONSTERS! I would once again like to say how much I love your lyrics, chords, and overall style of music...it is poetic and each person that listens to it can make it what they want it to be, that is something special and you dont and cant find that often. Thank You for being an awesome group...I love you guys and hope to see you again...that would make the 4th time ( i think) If you havent read what I wrote on may 2nd-I think, read it...it is titled 5POINTS MUSIC HALL! WITH MUCH LOVE, ABBY

Nashville River Stages

I took a pilgramge to see Train at Nashville River Stages. As always, Train did a wonderful job!! I was so excited to hear the new stuff live... now that I knew what it was! They did some of the new stuff in Memphis in September but I didn't konw it. I'm thrilled they did "Hopeless" which I think is one of my faves off Drops of Jupiter. Best of all, a friend of mine flew down to go to the music fest with me and she is now convert and she had to immediately purchase the two CDs. I met some other Train fans too which was wonderful to talk to people who have the same love for t01

My daily ramblings.

I have to say something on here daily or else I'll feel like I'm left out. So here it is:

I would like to see the guys expand their tour and do more of the smaller venues like they are now. Like was mentioned earlier, I'm afraid that I may never get the chance to see them again in such a more personal atmosphere than now. The fan base is growing rapidly. I wish them all the fame in the world but I don't want them to get too big just yet. Give me a little longer to enjoy the situation.

MEET VIRGINIA

She doesn't own a dress, her hair is always a mess
If you catch her stealing she won't confess
She's beautiful
Meet Virginia
She never compromises, lovees babies and surprises
wears hi-heels when she excersizes
ain't that beautiful
Meet Virginia
Well she wants to be the queen, then she thinks about her scenes. Pulls her hair back as she screams "I don't really wanna be the queen."
Her daddy wrestles alligators,mama works on carboratrs
her brother is a fine amidiator-for the president
well here she is again on the phone just like me hates to be alone
we just like to sit home-an' irp on the president
Meet Virginia (mmm right)
Well she wants to live her life, then she tinks about her life. Pulls her hair back as she screams "I don't really wann live this life."
(break)
She only drinks coffee at midnight,
when the moment is not right,
her timing is quite-unusual.
You see her confidence is tragic,
but her intuition magic,
and the shape of her body-unusual.
Meet Virginia
I can't wait to;
Meet Virginia yeah.......
Well she wants to be the queen, then she thinks about her scenes.
Well she want to live her life, then she thinks about her life. Pulls her hair back as she screams:
"I don't really wanna be the queen" (ah-ah)
"I don't really wanna be the queen" (ah-ah)
"I don't really wanna be the queen" (ah-ah)
"I don't really wanna live this.........."

You're WONDERFUL

I had the utmost pleasure of attending your April 28th show at Butler. I have never been so pleased with a live show. Pat, YOU rock. I think I need to buy some poster of you just for above my bed. I love your free motion dancing. I, unfortunatly, was not one of the lucky ones to rush the stage, but you ALL were incredible.

Thank you for putting out such wonderful music. Your cover of Ramble On was out of this world!! Not many can pull off my favorite band Zepp, but you all did it famously.

Congratulations on a wonderful alubm (although I've yet to pick it up) and for being, or at least acting like, normal everyday guys who just got lucky doing what they love doing.

I look forward to seeing what y'all do next.

Fondly,

Nashville River Stages

The performance at River Stages was awesome! I definately want to go buy 'Drops of Jupiter' now. I love that song, it's beautiful. Hope to see ya'll next year!

So, you're looking for "Sharks"

A very informed person wrote about this
on the other Train message site, so I'll
pass it along ...

If you are looking for "Sharks"
and want to order what I consider
a "find", go to www.medazzaland.net
to locate what they are calling the
"Drops of Jupiter single" which includes
"It's Love", "This is Not Your Life" and
"Sharks". $9.00

It cracks me up that they call Train
an "Alt-country act". Too funny!

Order away!!!

Music Midtown

Amazingly intense how these musicians reach the audience with amplified sound combined with some down home "rip your heart out, go about your business and let the sun shine" lyrics.

Finally, Train is reaching a plateau within a cut-throat industry, fellow musicians and of course, the FANS! Or maybe, its just because Pat is one hell of a babe! Tis true, but not the reason for their well deserved recognition.

Trains' Midtown Music performance was, to say the least or even the most, pending if your an optimist or pessimist; a multitude of earthshattering climactics.

T. Harvey - Mon May 7 12:49:41 EDT 2001


age guesses

I know Jimmy is closer to 35...so using that as a start and using my little tucked away facts...i'd guess that Charlie is about the same...like 34...Pat and Rob i'd say are 33 and Scott around 29-30...

- Mon May 7 12:46:51 EDT 2001


Midtown was awesome y'all

The show Sat. at Music Midtown was killer. Loved the new stuff live. "Ramble On" was awesome too. Look forward to the next time y'all are in Atlanta.

Not that it hasn't already been said a million times (and I'm NOT exaggerating), but yeah, this band rocks! DOJ is magic. For all those TRAIN fans out there that were unable to purchase tickets to see the band in their hometown or miss the small quaint venue's they play in....come north of the border. Toronto, Canada for Sunday May 13th!! The exposure is growing but they still don't have the audience they get down there. Their time is coming....but for now, I'll continue to enjoy the smaller venue's & intimacy they bring to each & every show. Cheers & Beers boyz....thanks for the music. brucey ;)

Intimate

I saw you guys last year at the House of Blues in Chicago, you left me breathless. I drove down to Atlanta and you took my air again. I am happy for your success but I must admit I did enjoy the intimacy that I had with you for three years. Now everyone knows and you must perform, I understand. Mississippi, that song does something to me by the way, how do you do that?
I plan to see you many times to come and can't wait for your next album. Pat did you see me in Atlanta, right side, long brown hair, glasses, one of the few not moshing? Good show fellas! Pat I saw you look up into that beautiful Atlanta sky that night when you did "Let it Roll", don't worry, she knows! sm

Shelly Marlott - Mon May 7 08:32:51 EDT 2001


Music Midtown

I just wanted to thank you guys for such a wonderful show at Music Midtown Saturday night. It was a bittersweet moment - realizing that now 100,000+ people were really enjoying such a great band (that I had grown to love in small club-like venues) and that I will probably never again be able to see them up close and personal. :-( I'm guessing that there are way to many Atlanta area fans now that a night at the Variety Playhouse or Smith's Olde Bar may never happen again - but it is great to see the best band on their way to the top!!! Best wishes to you guys and thanks again for such a spectacular show!

Janet Myrick - Mon May 7 08:20:44 EDT 2001

"Virginia" lyrics

I've noticed on at least two songs (most recently on "Meet Virginia", and the missing line from the first verse "...smokes a pack a day, wait that's me even anyway, she doesn't care a thing about that hey, she thinks I'm beautiful.") that have lyrics posted on here that they aren't the exact same as what's on the CD. I've also seen the hand-written pages that accompany this, and they're the same way. Anyone know why? Just curious....

'ropa - Mon May 7 00:56:24 EDT 2001


Re: Other Bands

Well, since you asked, here goes. Other bands I listen to a lot are Live, Led Zeppelin, Metallica (Black Album and before), Tool, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Pink Floyd. I've also recently gotten into David Gray, Jeff Buckley, and Bob Schneider. Never heard any of Bob's stuff till I saw him open for Train and he was damn awesome.

Your thoughts We saw at the varsity theater in baton rouge, la and loved the show. we have turned all of our friends and family on to train and to many of them Train is their best cd.

drops of jupiter

i've listened to a lot of music for a lot of years. rarely i find a gem that i want to hold onto. drops of jupiter is a heartbreakingly beautiful song, put together with stream of conciousness thoughts, visions of love, hope and optimism and superb production. wow, i love this tune.

doc - Sun May 6 23:46:23 EDT 2001


Train

I just wanted to write you guys and tell you that I think Drops of Jupiter is one of the best albums to be released in a very long time. Congratulations! I really mean it. I am 47 years old, and have been an avid rock fan since the Beatles first arrived (it sounds kind of corny when I say it that way). Just keep doing what you're doing, and you will go a long way. Come play in Calgary soon, please.

Drops of Jupiter

Your thoughts: I love your new CD and can't get any of the songs out of my head! My husband and I saw you perform on your first tour date in April at Butler University in Indianapolis and it was an AWESOME performance! Please come back to Indy again, I love you guys! Patrick, you are a great singer and I love your voice! Thanks for everything.

Ages

*L* I was wondering this same thing myself, but didn't ask for fear of sounding like I was hopeful they were within my reach. ^^ But I was assuming, just by physical appearances alone, that they were all in their thirties. But wow, 38? If that's true (for, who was it? Rob?), then he looks extremely good for his age... I never would have guessed....

Ah, who am I kidding? They all look good! ^^

'ropa - Sun May 6 19:10:51 EDT 2001


Oh yeah! I forgot:

Sorry, I forgot something:

Thank you guys SOOO much for playing in Greencastle, Indiana! We're such a small town, and we hardly ever get popular bands (like you!) to perform here! Thank you so much!

But I regret to inform you: I missed it! So please plan another trip up here very very soon! I love you guys!!!

Speaking of great songs:

I love "Drops of Jupiter"! It's, like, the best song I've heard in a very long time! I read all about how you guys made it, and it's amazing! Keep up the good work! (PS: The strings sound really nice in this song. You should use them in songs to come!)

Ages of TRAIN boys (lol)

I see everyone is into guessing about the MEN of train's ages. So I guess I'll take a stab at it.
Pat I think he's around 31
Charlie about 30
Scott is right around probably 30 too
Rob is maybe 33
and maybe Jimmy is close to 32.
I guess I think they're all in thier 30's. Yeah. I hope I'm close. ;) Thanx

Tour with matchbox20

I just wanted to say how thrilled I am that you are finally touring with matchbox. I have been a Train fan for many years [thanks to matchbox20 - who introduced me to Train's music] I have waited for this tour a long time. Now it is finally happening two GREAT bands [well there will be three bands - so I hear] on the same bill. I can't wait. :)

Re:Virgin Suicides


Have you ever read the short story called "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner? I found that and Virgin Suicides very similiar...almost did a paper on that for one of my English classes but alas, I don't own the book. But it is an awesome book. :)

Regarding ages, the last time I heard, Jimmy's 37; and I think that he had a birthday recently so that would make him... 38?

I can listen to your music and close my eyes and just absorb all of it.

Thanks for the great tunes!.

Suggestion

I think you happy TRAIN guys should consider doing a concert at THE COACH HOUSE in San Clemente California. It is a small place but many big stars such as yourselves go there! :)

I would be the first in line to come see you play!

Anyway.......just a thought....
P.s....if you DO consider this. Please tell me first so I can get a ticket befor

Hey u guys...I am writing to you all the way from St. John's, Newfoundland Canada (what a mouthful..ha). I just wanted to let you know that your album is definitely one of the best I have heard in a long time. What talent! What voices and lyrics! Your music takes me to my 'happy place'- ha ha. Although I probably won't get to see u in concert (because our city is too small- boo hoo), I wish you all the best and be sure to keep those awesome songs coming. Lots of Hugz from Canada,

Anyone else going to the Chicago show on the 16th?

Hey,

Is anyone reading this going to the Chicago show? Y'all should be in for a great time.
I saw Train in Indianapolis a week ago and they have a tight show in store.

Incidentally Monika, I watched the "Virgin Suicides" movie because of Scott's T-Shirt.
Call me impressionable, but I had a weekend off and I needed a movie to rent.
Nothing like re-living a little childhood angst to the Nth degree...

tabs for Nate

NATE

"She's On Fire" sounds like it is just E and A alternated (verse and chorus),

When you get to the "She's onto me, and I'm over me" part, the progression changes
to the following:

C#m F# (possible F#7) E A...

and so on into the solo (E and A again)

Sounds like the bridge goes in the following progression:
B A/B B A/B
D C/D D C/D
B B/A B/G# A

Back to E and A for the third verse and chorus

C#m F# (She's onto me, and I'm over me...)
A F# (She's over me and I'm onto her...) <---Different here

Back to E and A for the chorus alternated with
C#m F# (possible F#7) E A...
(She's onto me and I'm over me/She's on fire...)

That's how I play it anyway,,,

Hope this helps.

I love your song: Drops of Jupiter!!!

Hi my name is Michelle, and I'm all the way from New Zealand. I'm just writing to say how much I love your song Drops of Jupiter!!!
It has just recently started playing on our radio stations here. It is the most beautiful song I have ever heard! I had never heard of the band Train till I heard this song. You have an awesome voice and the song sends chills up my spine whenever I hear it.
I make sure when ever it is on the radio I turn up the volume to its blaring!!!
I will definately buy the CD when it comes into music stores in New Zealand but until then I will enjoy hearing it whenever it is palyed on the radio.
Thank you for making sure a beautiful song- I love it so much!!!
Keep the songs coming because you guys are so talented!!!!
Best wishes Michelle- NZ

Riverstages/CD

Hello Guys! I just wanted to let you know that my husband and I went to Riverstages last night to see you play...You were the reason that we went...We love your CD and play it all the time when we travel which is most of the time...Drops of Jupiter is an awesome song and when we first heard it we requested it by calling all the radio stations we could as we traveled...You would be happy to know that all the DJs that we spoke with Loved It!! I only wish that it would reach #1 for you...We had never been to Riverstages before last night although we live in Franklin Tn just south of Nashville about 20 miles...we always had to work when it was going on before so we didnt get to go to it...Also if we had know that you were playing there for the 3rd yr we would have been there every yr!! Just loved it..Of all the bands we heard last night we enjoyed you guys the most...The Wallflowers were supposed to be the top bill band last night but you all out did them by a long shot!! I wont bore you anymore with my comments...but I would like to let you know that the next time that I hear of you playing anywhere near us we will certainly be there for the show!! Thanks so much for sharing your musical talents with us...we wish you much much success in the future!!
Jamie and Mark Dalton
P.S. Love Shes on Fire!! Any chance it will be the next single???

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to say that Drops of Jupiter is the best cd I have listened to in a long time. I like every track on it. If Train tours with Matchbox 20 this summer I hope that it is Matchbox 20 that opens for Train and not the other way aound. I am going to check Train out this week in CT. I can't wait.

Pat 32
Jimmy 37
Don't quote me on these ages. I believe that they are within a year or so either way.

Ramblings

Ok, I really have nothing productive to say but I want to say something anyway.

I hope to see the guys in Pontic and then again in Chicago. I'm working on getting things arranged so that it will be possible for me to attend both. One concert just isn't enough for me.:)

I just got my pictures back from the Indianapolis concert and I'm very disappointed. I accidentally used the wrong film and none of my pictures came out. I'll survive but I always like to have pictures to remember exactly what the band looked like at the moment.

I hope everyone in the Train community is having great experiences at all their concerts.

I think that Drops of Jupiter is one of the best CDs I have bought in the last 5 years. Keep up the awesome work. I hope you play a show in Minnesota sometime soon. RESPECT is a great song, by the way.

Tony Borreson - Sat May 5 20:59:38 EDT 2001


You're never too old

Just wanted to say that I am glad to see some older fans of Train out there. I am a 37 year old female (still looking not too shabby) - have listened to alot of great bands and I put Train right up there. The last concert I went to was a Collective Soul concert not quite a year ago and I thought I was going to be really out of place. To my surprise, while standing in line, most of the crowd in my immediate view seemed to be in my age group. It was an awesome concert, although some of us so called "more mature" people still can't handle there alcohol (not speaking of myself). We rocked at C.S. When seeing Train recently felt the same way but better (were lucky enough to see them in the front row). To my amazement most of the crowd sat through the concert being all prim and proper (they were there to see Shawn Colvin and John Hiatt - NOT ME!). I thought, screw it, and boogied through the whole concert. Thanks Train for making that night so much fun. I'm so glad that you never get too old for good rock and roll. My new sayings are "what is.. is" and "just be". I won't worry about being beyond those good times again. Just out of curiousity - how old are the members of the band anyway? Does anyone know? The remakes that they do (Ramblin' On) and the ones I believe I have heard they might do (possibly Van Halen, Cheap Trick?) are from my high school days. Would love it. A suggestion of Cheap Trick would be something from their "In Color" album (oops - CD). It is really good. Anyway, rock on Train!

One last thing - on your new CD, the song "Something More" - the instrumental (violins) remind me of Led Z's "In Through the Out Door" - the song "All of My Love". Was there any influence of that song when writing this one? Just curious.

Love you all - can't seem to get you out of my CD player!

Your music rocks!

I live your music! "Drops Of Jupiter" is my favourite (I suppose you've heard that before!), it's nice to hear some good music coming out for a change. All I've been hearing is the same old drum machine Brittany Spears/Janet Jackson crap----I hate to insult them like that but they need to get a life! I like the unique style your music contains. You do sound a lot like the Beatles. I like R.E.M. and Bruce Cockburn as well as you. I also like a lot of oldies. Considering my age, I'm a complete outcast in my school----good! Any way, to get to the point, keep up the good work, it's obvious that you've survived the softmore jynx----good for you and congradulations on your new hit album----and here's a wish for many more to come! Write me back when you get the chance!
Your fan, K.C.

Jimmy...How about a Royal Star reunion?

Hey Jimmy...remember the days of Royal Star in good 'ol Morris Illinois. I actually took guitar lessons from you for two years at the bike shop. Wish I would have practiced more :) Love your albums and really happy to see you doing so well. I follow the charts now because if anyone deserves success..you do! Best of luck on tour!

Awesome Musicians

I've loved the song "Drops of Jupiter" for months now, but I finally got down to buying the CD today. I'm glad that I did! It's awesome! Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to Music Midtown in Atlanta this weekend. But, I'm going to make it goal to see the guys in concert one day. It's great to hear real musicians play great music...you defintely have a fan in me!

Train on Tour

Well I heard a rumor that Train is going to be touring with Matchbox 20. I know that i would love to see that tour and if anyone has any info on it just to send it to me.

Britney - Sat May 5 16:51:50 EDT 2001


P.S.

My mother loves that Train song, Drops from Jupitor. She blasts the radio, everytime she hears it playing in the car. I must admitt...It has grown on me.

UnknownOne - Sat May 5 16:00:34 EDT 2001


LifeHouse!

Last Friday, I went to the Matchbox 20 concert(Matchbox 20 looked REALLY gay in the tight leather pants),and Lifehouse was backing them up. (Would have preferred Matchbox 20 backing up Lifehouse) But, It was the most wickedess experience i've ever had. After LifeHouse, had finished their part of the concert, they stood outside in the hallway of the Corel centre, and signed autographs. By the time I realized that's what was going on, it was too late to get into line. Anyways, I stood there, looking at them signing autographs when Jayson, *lead singer* looked up, and smiled at me. I stared at him until he left, and even followed him to his limo. Unfortunately, that's where it ends.
Next time Lifhouse is in Ottawa, I think i'll find Jaysons' hotel, and rape him. HaHa!

Drops of Jupiter

As someone whose life is organized by "which Mix Tape was playing when", Drops of Jupiter has come to embody the spring of 2001. I haven't bought your album yet but I think I will when I get rich. And even though I'm moving next Sunday, I will check you out at The Opera House if things go well. So see you in Toronto!

Kerry - Sat May 5 15:25:15 EDT 2001


Last Night was Wonderful!

Last night in Nashville was wonderful. I am still pondering why ya'll opened up for the Wallflowers and not the other way around. Last night was really fun, I enjoyed Ramble ON & Free most of all. Some strange girl asked to get on my shoulders during She's on Fire and somehow got Pat's autograph. Then I caught Pat's waterbottle, but since I am a true Southern Gentleman, I gave it to this nice lady standing beside me. You guys really had the crowd into it, thanks for coming to Nashville. I'll be looking forward to seeing you all again.

P.S. If that strange girl ends up reading this, how about sending me an email :)

Thank you so much for coming to Nashville River Stages. I am so glad I had a chance to catch your show. I was really impressed with your guitarist and his slide work. Can't wait for you to come back to Nashville. I will definately be there.

Crystal Crawford - Sat May 5 13:00:28 EDT 2001


Just to let you guys know

I just wanted to let you guys know that I absolutely love you. You are my all time favorite band. You have such an original sound that no band can even come close to. I've never heard anyone like you. I can't wait until you come anywhere close to where I live...I will definitely be there, no questions asked. I would give anything to have been able to go to Music Midtown, but I couldn't. I love you guys and I just wanted you to know how much I love your music.

Emily - Sat May 5 12:59:43 EDT 2001


Riverstages Rocked

Hey guys...awesome show last night at Riverstages! I was totally blown away, the music is great on the cd, but (of course) a hundred times better live. Pat- stage presence was amazing... I WANT YOUR JEANS!! (lol) It was a great time... Keep on rockin' & don't forget to come back to Nashville, TN!!! (soon!)

WOW! You guys were incredible last night! I couldn't help but think how things had changed since the first time I saw you guys in Nashville three years ago. I could not believe what a huge crowd was there last night. I have seen every show you've played here and they are all the same-great! Pat- you have such an incredible personality on stage. I know you guys are probably too big now, but I would love to see you at the Exit/Inn one last time.

Shelly Marlott - Sat May 5 03:38:12 EDT 2001


Unexplainable

I first saw Train last April in Chicago, Illinois at the House Of Blues. I took the train by myself downtown from the suburbs, had dinner there and I was the 1st one in the door, I was standing center stage, floor, my stomach leaning on the rails. I was exhilirated, inspired, touched, in love, moved, nervous, impressed, and most of all, the thing that I can never do is EXPLAIN to people how it felt. When I get those feelings, It's hard for me to come back down. sm

Shelly Marlott - Sat May 5 03:32:57 EDT 2001


Can't wait for you to get home to San Francisco

Saw your show in Petaluma and can't wait to see you at the Warfield on May 26. Drops of Jupiter
is amazing. Have been playin the CD regularly in my office and people stop in and ask who is singing. Creating a lot more TRAIN fans!!
See you at the Warfield.

laundry & deep-fried chicken

Thanks again for the autographs on my childrens pictures. You made two children very happy!!! Also thanks for our autographs as well!! The pictures came back and they were great! Next time yall are in town be sure to look us up and we'll be glad to do the laundry and the cooking as you requested on 107.7 the X. Followed yall back to the hotel Raddison but couldn't get Jessica to pull in and offer to show you some good ole' southern hospitality. It's truly the only way to find out if Pat really can move like that all the time or just on stage. If you need the extra practice just let us know. Tell Rob that Jessica said yes they have met before and of course she would love to have at least twelve of his children.(fertile Alabama breeding stock-ha-ha!!) We know that yall are busy, but write back if you have a chance. Good luck, we know that only great things will happen for you all from here on out.

THANK YOU FOR SELLING GIRL TANK TOPS!

Oh my gosh. I loooooove my orange tank top, it will be worn out by the end of summer by me wearing it so much.

I also ordered and received the dark blue tank top that was discounted on the website. THEY FIT PERFECTLY. FINALLY. I am so sick of boy shirts that make me look like I am getting ready for PE CLASS IN JUNIOR HIGH OR SOMETHING. I am a small boned girl and I look like a slob in boy shirts.

TRAIN TAKES CARE OF THEIR FEMALE FANS. :) GRACIAS.

SEE YOU AT THE WARFIELD. ROCK ON.

Fanbase in the UK

I have just found TRAIN and i wondered if there were any other fans in the UK.
Are TRAIN doing any promotional work in the UK as us Brits have been starved of ant decent music other than the Stereophonics and The Divine Comedy.

~ MCNEAR'S MYSTIC THEATER -- PURE MAGIC ~

A belated thank you for an incredible show at McNear's in Peteluma in April (Bob Schneider was fantastic as well.) We're still talking about a month later.

Everything that evening had a charm about it (like a scene from "Almost Famous" <-- no insult intended...) The music was inspired, McNear's as laid back as ever. Everyone sharing the vibe.

Denise and I went in well after the doors opened (hate to leave beers unfinished...) and still were able to stroll to the stage. Turns out Charlie's beaming Mom (who proudly introduced herself to us after his somewhat schnockerd hulk of brother plowed his way through us during the encore) were behind us most of the show. It all added to the magic. Then to stroll to the car through sleepy Peteluma on a perfect California Spring night. Awesome.

The night equaled seeing Mick Jagger jam late night with Buddy Guy at Kingston Mines in the 80's. It was that good. Thanks again, guys.

John and Denise - Fri May 4 16:21:53 EDT 2001

Dear Magick...

this one's too easy. You wrote:
"Is it my fault that I deleted my confirmation email because I have such faith in Ticketmaster and thought that they wouldn't screw up?"

YES!!!!

that's perhaps the stupidest thing you could have done, putting "faith" in ticketslutfucker, the worst fucking monopoly that exists in this country!!! and why can they do things like say, "Too bad!" to you and not think twice about it?!? because what is anybody going to do about it?!?!? NOTHING!!!!

i fucking hate ticketbastard more than any other corporate bullshit that exists in our society. gotta love the "convenience" charges exceeding 30% of face value that make it so convenient for us to see a rock show at a horrible venue where your seats suck and sound quality is shit for a mere $70. (not talking Train, think DMB for now.) but why is it possible for those prices? because we all continue to pay these escalating amounts!!! but what are we supposed to do, not buy tickets to see our favorite bands?!? but we REALLY want to see our favorite bands, we can't do that!!!!

if only some other bands stepped up to help the very valiant effort that was Pearl Jam's trip to Congress in 1995 regarding the ticketbastard monopoly issue.

but that's where bands like the Dave Matthews Band can be held responsible. because they're partially responsible for pushing up the ticket prices. i mean, seriously, why should we pay $70 to see DMB play at a frickin' football stadium?!? why is it that Pearl Jam, a band who could charge ANY dollar amount and still fill any venue in the world, only charged us $30 a ticket on their tour last year??? because they actually care about their fans!!!

but that's all just the tip of the proverbial iceberg....

WHOA! all that ranting because some kid can't get into the Train show in Philly? sorry about that.

now back to your regularly schedule "i love you Train" posts and the ensuing "where can i find lyrics to Drops of Jupiter because i'm too stupid to actually look through the site i'm viewing before i posted this stupid message?" messages.

sorry about the harsh language for all the little girls reading this out-of-control message board.

feliz cinco de mayo.

STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS ON THE LATEST RUMOR.... A CD WITH DOJ,SHARKS,ITS LOVE & THIS IS NOT YOUR LIFE CROSS YOUR FINGERS

obi - Fri May 4 13:52001


Group hug anyone? :(


One of the worst feelings in the world is what I'm feeling right now...that sense of elation knowing that one's going to see his favorite band perform live and the excitement that builds up to that day is suddenly crushed by the realization that he doesn't have tickets to this show despite the fact he THOUGHT that he did.

I called Ticketmaster today...and had this interesting half screaming battle with them and they basically said that Ticketmaster doesn't make any mistakes, etc. ,etc. And no, they can't squeeze two more people into the sold out show. Is it my fault that after hitting the "Send" button that all of the information goes "poof" into cyberspace? Is it my fault that I deleted my confirmation email because I have such faith in Ticketmaster and thought that they wouldn't screw up?

Sorry about me ranting...I'm just so upset right now. I have been looking forward to this for the longest time. Train's songs mean SO much to me--almost all of them are relative to a time of my life (especially Let it Roll). If any kind souls out there have two spare tickets to the May 11th Philiadelphia show or have any sort of advice (other than taking a AK-47 at Ticketmaster) please PLEASE reply.

My hands hasn't stopped shaking ever since finding this out...it's harsh when all of your expectations come crumbling down in one brief second. Now what the heck am I supposed to do with my gifts for Train? :X

You guys are really awesome. I listen to drops of jupiter everyday. It has become my theme song.I absolutly love that song.Anyways, I liked you guys back when "Meet virginia"was released. I am totally digging your sytle. Keep the music alive and I'll see you guys Saturday in the ATL @ MusicMidtown.

FUN WITH CLOSED CAPTIONS

Hey guys, you gotta try this, it's so funny! Take all your live footage of Train performances from talk shows etc. and turn on closed captioning on your TV. If you thought YOU were bad at deciphering lyrics, check out these different interpretations from the Rosie O'Donnell show alone:

Since the return of a Sailor Moon...

and

The best soy latte that you ever had IN ME?!?

Grrrossss!! Hahaha!

What's funny though, is that for all the lyrical mistakes they make, NOBODY ever put the "Van Halen" misheard lyric.

Jackson Ms

We drove 200 miles to see you all, and it was worth the trip. You were awsome.And we are old hands at r&r concerts.We are in our 40's.Kind of felt out of place because most of the crowd was 20's or less.They treated us with lots of respect though and I was suprised.But most southern people are raised like that even in the city.
I wish I know more about the bands history.They seem so mature.Their music is the kind that will cross generational lines and last forever if they don't change their style.It's classic.Believe me We were there when it all started back in the 60's and 70's.Train has found the formula to last in the music business. I would love to meet them,but I know that is a pipe dream because they are going to be so big after this tour that they will have a hard time going out in public.Their faces will be known all over the world. I'm so glad we got to see them before the whole world takes them in their hearts.It's about to happen.I hope they are ready for the ride. Train Fan Georgia Bruff

Just wanted to say that my wife and I love the new CD. We saw you in W. Springfield,Ma last year at the fair, and despite the small crowd, the show was great. We are looking forward to seeing you at the Webster next week. Do you know if you are doing any promo stuff for Radio104, the station promoting the show, or with Dee Snider (yeah the Twisted Sister Guy) he's their morning show jock? Finally, any plans for Hartford, or is it a quick stop? See you next week.

I need some help ...

I'm trying to get my own web site together ... but I don't want it to be like all the other ones about my last vacation, my new garden plant ... etc ... I want it to be about music ... About the music nobdy knows of ...

I suppose, TRAIN don't fit into this category anymore ... yet, this kind of music is what I want people to know ...

Any input from your side is highly appreciated ... I'm not sure whether i can post my web site here (and I'd rather not have you come by after you've been here, cause mine is really emberassing. Design-wise ... but I'm working on it ...)

If you have anything to say ... please e-mail me at savethemusic@usa.com ...

And to make this not totally off-topic: TRAIN are awesome ... it's the kind of music that is able to change lives ... to open our eyes and to make us see ourselves ... I hope, there'll be more to come. Lots more ...

Kind regards ...

Five points music hall

Train fans! and the guys from train...4 friends and I went to see train at 5 points music hall tuesday night, may 1, 2001. We were late and the show had already sold out so we basically were kicked out, which pissed us off. We were talking to a street seller and he wanted a buttload of money for only two tickets...we wanted to see them bad but we didnt have ANY money. So brittany, one of the friends, and I walk over to the back window...there is a bouncer with a staff shirt on! We automatically show him our X's which showed we had been in but couldnt get through the ticket line. I was screaming at him through the window to see if he could help us out and find us some tickets or let us in...he opened the door and let us walk in free!!! we SHIT our pants! Now I have finally seen train with my best friends in the whole world and I have pictures!!! I would just like to say that I thank train for coming to b-ham, even though I live in Dekalb County about 2 hours away...I thank you sooo much and love you deeply! I cant wait to see you again hopefully at riverstages! Thank you, Abby and Brittany the 2 chicks with cowboy hats on! WE LOVE YOU TRAIN!

Abby "The girl in love with TRAIN" - Fri May 4 00:09:44 EDT 2001


can't wait for music midtown

I would first like to start by telling two stories that are really cool(in my opinion)
I was out the other day and bought the Drop's of Jupiter CD and of course brought it home to listen
to it.Well I left for work the next morning and left the CD here (at my dad's House who is 57).
I spend Tuesday and Wednesday's at my boyfriend's house so today(Thursday). I get home and
my dad comes to me and say's that is the best CD I have eer heard,of course I asked him what he meant and he told me
he had listened to my Train CD. Now if a very out of touch 57 year old say's the CD rocks, then you guys have made something to
really be proud of.

concert review

The Indianapolis show which kicked off your Drops of Jupiter tour was most impressive. I've been attending concerts since 1974, and have seen many bands perform live...

Train ranks among the top 10 concerts I've attended for one reason: the band together has the magic it takes to make it, and Pat Monahan is so comfortable with himself, his live performance is mesmerizing. Stick with your style...it works, beautifully. For days, I've relived watching that awesomely natural movement...pure magic.

*tries not to cry*


Today I got my credit card statement and found it unusual that the purchase that I made at Ticketmaster didn't show up. So I went to the link, searched for my account...and found out that I didn't purchase the tickets.

I went through all of the necessary steps...and somewhere along the line, Ticketbastards went apeshit and screwed me over somewhere. So I go back to to Ticketbastards to purchase tickets for the Philly show...only to find out that it has been sold out...

I'm calling Ticketbastards tomorrow...but until then, is there any kind souls out there that has two extra tickets? Or could help in some shape or form???

magick - Thu May 3 20:21:06 EDT 2001


Congrats...Saratoga return 5/12

Your thoughts

Congrats guys on your sucess. The new album rocks. Scott...looking forward to saying hi again at the show at Northern Lights 5/12. You guys toured Australia? Sweeeeeeeeet. Hope it keeps on rollin' fellas.

The Indianapolis Show

Just wanted to say that the show you played in Indianapolis on Saturday night was awesome! I thought you did an excellent job of displaying your various talents and relating to the crowd.

Brooke Robbins - Thu May 3 19:40:28 EDT 2001


we love your song

YOUR SONG "DROPS OF JUPITER" IS GREAT!!!
ME AND FRIENDS LOVE IT AND THINK IT IS THE BEST WRITTEN SONG OUT. IT HAS A GREAT STORY TO TELL IF YOU REALLY LISTEN TO THE LYRICS.
THANKS FOR A GREAT SONG!!!
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!

melissa - Thu May 3 19:18:13 EDT 2001


wow!

I have been talking about you guys ever since I went to a Hootie and the Blowfish concert which you opened for two years ago. I wished that they would have opened for you! I automatically fell in love with your music and ran out to buy "train." I was so excited to find out that "drops of jupiter" was in stores. The music on it is wonderful, especially "she's on fire" and "it's about you." I didn't realize that you were playing in Indy last Saturday. I think I would have ditched all plans to see you perform again. Here's to hoping!

Jennifer - Thu May 3 19:16:08 EDT 2001

I am not an internationally famous performer, despite what you may think.

Music Midtown

I don't want to give away my secret for trying to get close, but we could at least start the Train chant near time for them to come on!!! That way we'll all be fired up.

TRAIN!!! TRAIN!!! TRAIN!!! ;-)

Also, I think we need to have as many lighters fired up as possible during Drops of Jupiter to remind us of the Milky Way!!!

Let's Meet Up at Music Midtown

Hi ya'll:

Anyone up for meeting in a general area before the TRAIN show on Saturday? We could show our support for Pat, Jimmy, Charlie, Rob, and Scott en mass. Thoughts?

Subject of your message See you next week

Hey guys - I'm planning on seeing you at the Paradise in Boston next week, and I'm really looking forward. I just saw a show there a few days ago and was thinking how cool a Train show will be. See you Wednesday.

Your name Meg - Thu May 3 16:29:30 EDT 2001


TRAIN is #1

We saw Train in Dallas, they were sooo cool! Not only did the show blow us away, but we listened to their soundcheck from outside, then on top of that we got to meet them! They were all so nice. They are really good to the fans and pets! For which we will forever be grateful.

Beth and Justin - Thu May 3 16:21:54 EDT 2001


Thanks

I never do this but I wanted to send a message of thanks to Train for making a brillent CD. These songs remind me of lazy summer days on a patio somewhere with a cold drink. See you in Vancouver, BC.

BIRMINGHAM

Your thoughts:
MAY 3, 2001
I ATTENDED THE BIRMINGHAM SHOW LAST NIGHT - I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TELL YOU HOW GREAT YOU WERE - THERES JUST NOT ENOUGH WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT. YOU GUYS ARE "THE BEST" LIVE BAND I HAVE EVER SEEN. WASN'T TOO SURE ABOUT THE NEW CD UNTIL LAST NIGHT AND NOW I KNOW IT WILL BE ALL THAT I LISTEN TO - IN FACT I'M LISTENING TO IT AS I TYPE THIS. I'VE SEEN YOU ONCE BEFORE LAST NIGHT BUT I HAVE TO SAY LAST NIGHT WAS JUST...NICE AND SWEATY!! GOING TO NASHVILLE FOR RIVER STAGES - HOPE TO GET EVEN SWEATIER! HOPE YOU GUYS COME BACK TO BHAM SOON!

CRYS - Thu May 3 15:25:08 EDT 2001


Your Right!

Just a note to Trainspotter from May 3 response to me - you are absolutely right. I feel exactly the same way about music and I listen to a wide range depending on my mood. Music has a way of taking a single moment and turning it into something else. Everyone expresses themself differently. So . . . I apologize if I have offended anyone with my comment. I am generally open minded and mentioned to someone earlier to be the same way. If I make a blunder, I own it - so John, Trainspotter, Train - please accept my apology. Thank you for the enlightment. A fan is a fan is a fan.

Train moves me in many different ways too.

Shelly - Thu May 3 15:06:48 EDT 2001

Scott Underwood, without an ass, I still think you sound very interesting!! I enjoyed the moment I spent reading your bio. A moment we've shared, althouugh not together it was still shared! Thank you. I'm really glad you guys do what you do and as well as you do it, WOW!! :) Please continue to do it and I will continue to enjoy and we will continue to share moments, although no together....still shared!!!

SHANI - Thu May 3 13:11:32 EDT 2001


Birmingham

Man that show last night was great!! It was about a hundred degrees though and everybody was getting all sweaty. The only complaint I had was that we missed Five for Fighting because the ticket said it started at 8 and when we got there at 8, they were already done playing :( But Train was still great, as always and the crowd knew all the words to almost every song. It was definantly worth the drive from Huntsville. Great job guys!

birmingham show

as expected, the show was phenomenal. even though this was the second night of a 2-night run, they band gave 110% and sounded as tight as ever vocally and musically. very personal and entertaining, that's why we love 'em so much here in birmingham. and they deliver on every occasion. thanks for a great evening of superb music, guys, and get back as soon as you can!!

I tried posting this before but it didn't go through, so here I go again. It's sad but true that when someone starts to really make it in this world rumors start, but this is bizarre! Pat gay, oh my god in heaven, there's not a gay bone in his entire fabulous body, all I got to say to whom ever thinks that YOU DUMB ASS!!!!!!!!! OH I'm using my full name now since there seems to be a few "Lisas" popping up, But I'm the same "it's me again"

Lisa Lynch - Thu May 3 11:09:25 EDT 2001


Yeah right!

OK, it was bound to happen (I guess) someone starts making it in this world and some ass hole has to start rumors! Pat gay? oh my god, who could look at that man and EVER think that? Jesus Christ, almighty theres not a gay bone in his fabulous body, all I gotta say is DUMB ASS!!!!!!!!

B irmingham Show

Hey Guys!! I drove over two hours to get to see you in Birmingham last night. I have to say that it was by far the best concert that I have ever been to. I appreciate how hard you guys worked even though you were playing at a smaller venue. I admit that I do not have your first album, so there were a few songs that I did not know the words to. I do own 'drops of jupiter' and it has turned me into a true Train fan. I have made a few enemies at work due to playing your CD over and over every day (just among the older ones). Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for such a great show and cannot wait until I am able to see you again.

Train

Hi! im frm singapore...Bands are not really tt big here but I was fascinated by the sounds of Train when 'Meet Virginia' was played here. N the piano sounds on 'drops of jupiter' n the 'eh eh' sounds at the end of the sentence make the song unique...lol...Of cos its obvious tt Train will never make it down to Singapore but I'd like to let you know tt u have a huge fan in me at least in a small little dot in South East Asia(:

Sl - Thu May 3 09:54:45 EDT 2001


Orgasmic

Just a word to Shelly...you wrote "to respond to John on May 1 - I Wish You Would - what a great song. I do love the do do do do do - do do do do. I have to wonder why YOU find that orgasmic being a guy and all (of course, there are ladies named Jo, Randi, etc.). "----The great thing about music is that it can take you places and make you FEEL--you seem to imply that a guy can't find moments in a song orgasmic- as if it would make them gay or something. Train's songs are so awesome...don't question why someone is moved by them...just appreciate it. Open your mind.

Nadine - Thu May 3 07:42:22 EDT 2001


great and not so great...

Hi - just wanted to say a few things...first, I want to tell you that I am really intrigued by your music and look forward to buying one of the albums so I can listen more. (Which one do you think?) Also, the website is really great and the bios and information are all well written and interesting. But, lastly, you guys might want to look into some proofreading! Spelling words correctly is one thing - not such a big deal really - but getting people's names right is kind of important. (What if someone wanted to look up s person you mention?) Sorry, sorry, sorry, but I can't help it when some names on your site SHOULD be spelled like this: Binoche, Schnabel, De Kooning, Schiele. It just so happens that I really love these artists too, that's why I care. Otherwise, my last thought is that it would be great if you came to play Tucson, AZ. It's close to your hotmail.com">Shane - Thu May 3 02:57:19 EDT 2001


one buff is enough

yip! I could be the only TRAIN buff here in India,
well most of us have not heard you guys..but I guess it would HELP a lot if you guys came 'ere and did your stint..just one concert or something..PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

These last two nights have been, HANDS DOWN, the best shows I've seen. Your albums have been the soundtracks to my life and your talent is unbelievable. X-Lounge was awesome. I am a TRANIAC for life. Keep rocking.

Birmingham Show

What an AWESOME show! the first show that they did here was incredible! I loved John Mayer, the guy that opened for them. If you haven't heard him you should check him out. I can't wait to see Train in concert again. They know how to put on a great show for the audience and still keep things focused on what they do the best... MUSIC! I love the new CD. It was kind of sad to me though, that the birmingham crowd knew so few of the new songs. It was a great show and if anyone reading this has any doubts about whether or not they should go then i think that to not go would be a HUGE mistake. The band is great at mixing in old stuff with all of the new songs. Ramble on was KILLER, as usual. I love the fact that we (Birmingham)are the only city that has that on a CD. They didn't let us down with the live version either. HOPELESS (the BEST song on the new release) was more incredible live. It was the best show i have ever seen. Thank you and hurry back to Alabama!

Re: Colorado and I Am


Not sure if anyone answered this but someone posted about what does Pat during the line "Never seen Colorado" in "I Am".

When I saw them last May, he substituted Pennsylvania for Colorado. So I'm guessing that he inserts whatever state they're in...

Shark song

I love trains new CD all the songs are great! I did download the new song "Shark" But when I play it, it skips like a broken record!! Anyone else have this problem? That stinks cause I really wanted to hear it!!

Well, I left big ol' Atlanta to catch the Jackson, MS show on 4/30. MAN, did anybody else catch that one?? I had not heard the guys do Ramble On and I was FLOORED. I mean, come on, who has ever PULLED OFF a Led Z. tune and sounded good. No, make that unbelievable!!!!! The show rocked. But, hey, are you really surprised??

Unbelievable band. I can't wait to catch the Atl. midtown show!!!!

Does anybody know if they're playing Memphis, TN. anytime soon??

Jenn Atteberry - Wed May 2 22:42:05 EDT 2001


Interaction with fans!

I would just like to thank Train from the bottom of my heart for the way they treat fans. I am a dedicated fan of another band who doesn't do half of what I have seen Train do for their fans. I am in awe at how much the fans mean to the band. It is very rare and very special. The updates are constant, the concerts are amazing, the guys are so enjoyable to meet, and the Road section on the website is incredible. The fans appreciate it and I deeply respect the band for it! Thanx guys!

Jessica - Wed May 2 22:35:22 EDT 2001


SHARK ATTACK!!

HELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP... I can't download/play Sharks without it skipping constantly! I really want to hear it but it doesn't look to hopefull at this point. Frustration is getting the better of me. Anyone have any tips for me??

Finally "Sharks"....and the damn thing doesn't work!

Hey all. FINALLY I get a chance to hear this song that Pat absolutely RAVED about last year but they never played for us fans...and now I can't hear it beacuse Sony uses some obscure program that has all kinds of requirements (which my system meets). Does anybody have any ideas to get it going? Has anyone out there ever used connecteD before? I followed all directions to a T and still no dice.

Frustration is a four letter word as far as I am concerned!

What the...?
Oh well. They are still my hero's and they mean EVerything to me! I love you guys!!! You rock!

Fan For Life

I first want to say that I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother, Pat. That is a very difficult pain to describe, as I have lost my Dad recently. I have been enjoying your music for a while now & have just recently realized how much meaning and thought you guys put into your song writing. I have always considered you as a REAL Rock -n- Rolll band. I am almost 30 & feel sometimes awkward @ your shows but when Im there & the music begins I transcend to a level indescribible. I know there is heart & drive & devotion behind all of your gifts of music. As I once attempted song writing just for the poetic side of it, I was never musically inclined. The things I write are always coming from my own feelings & personal inspiration. Maybe Im wrong but I feel that from your music. However wrong or right, I truly enjoy your gifts and wish you all the very best.
I would love to know more about this new single SHARKS & whats to come? Forever A Fan, Lisa

Hey guys! I have the perfect place for you to play a show if you are ever in the northern Indiana area. The Embassy Theatre in Ft.Wayne. It's an awsome building and I have seen many bands there. Consider it next time you are around.

Down Home Kindness

Well, Everytime the band has gotten within a 100 mile radius My wife and I have dropped everything and went to see them. This was not an easy task at times since we live in North Central Alabama and at times traveled to Atlanta to catch "the next" show.
Well this year WE are pregnant, so there wasn't going to be a Train concert for us...
Guess what, we got something better...
Passes to see the Guys in an accoustical performance for just about 50 people.
Live and very personal, I want to say its really great that after a performance the guys got paid "nothing" for doing they were kind enough to hang around in that little recording studio until everyone had the chance for photos, autographs and just plain old "kidding around". I've seen SOOOO many other bands at the SAME place "BOLT" out of there like they simply had better things to do.
For this I say:
Thanks for the Down Home Kindness and thanks for making Birmingham, Alabama a regular stop anytime you guys are close.

DALLAS SHOW!

I live and go to school in Denton (30 miles north of Dallas). I was really bummed to hear Train's show was sold out because I have been a fan for 2 years. I took a chance and drove down anyway. I stood in the "no ticket" line for an hour and they told us they weren't going to let us in. I bought a ticket from a guy with an extra one. Whoohoo! It was crowded, but it was all worth it to see Pat sing the line from Idaho, "Texas are you my friend?"

Neil - Wed May 2 17:18:01 EDT 2001


What to call your fans????

Since you have the day off tomorrow, why not think up a name for your fans?

I have stated in the past that I prefer Trainliners.

So Much To Say

I've been gone for a few days and returned to read some of the new messages. First, Ryan on May 2 responding to Helen. Not quite sure what her problem is. This is a place for us to speak out and let the band know who we are and what our thoughts are. They may or may not care. They do have a life too. I'm sure it can be inspiring to hear our praises and suggestions - that's what helps keep them going to put on the kind of shows they do and write the songs we all love. I did receive a short note from Train (hope it wasn't a "fan mail" person answering - just to let people know that they might respond.

Second, responding to Scott on May 1 - I love "DOJ", but the new CD has a handful of great songs - two of those which we seem to share - "It's About You" and "Hopeless". I would bet the next single will be "Hopeless" unless the band wants to put a different twist on informing those who unbelievably don't know who Train is, as to how versatile and rock and roll they are and not just a band who sings ballads. I have bought too many CD's expecting a band to be a certain way and being completely disappointed (not that ANYONE could be disappointed with Train).

Train, let people know what you are made of (wish more singles from your first CD were released - AWESOME - too many to mention (can't help myself -have to mention "Idaho", "Rat", "Train" - the vocals are UNBELIEVABLE).

Thirdly - and yes, lastly - to respond to John on May 1 - "I Wish You Would" - what a great song. I do love the "do do do do do - do do do do". I have to wonder why YOU find that orgasmic being a guy and all (of course, there are ladies named Jo, Randi, etc.). I love that part, but I also love "...come on, jump to me" on "It's About You". Don't think I want to know what this does for you.

Train, just a suggestion - am listing to VH1 while writing this and just heard Led Z. playing "A Whole Lot of Love" and "Communication Breakdown". You guys could tear these up.

If Train gets a minute (yeah, right), would love to hear from you.

Take care,
Shelly

Love You Guys!

I am 30 years old and have been waiting for a band like yours to return to music. I had been on a lean musical diet in the early and mid 90's of classic rock-n-roll, and a little bit of country, and quite frankly I was getting so board with it all. Since about 1998 there have been a whole slue of great bands coming out. "Meet Virginia" was the first song I heard from your band and I loved it. I heard "Drops of Jupiter" on a new radio station here in town that I've been listening to lately and I love it even more! I especially enjoy all the guitar, sax, piano, and harmony from all of you. Thanks you guys, to me rock has been dead since about 1992, hopefully rock-n-roll is coming back for the new millenium!

Laurie - Wed May 2 13:16:02 EDT 2001


Re: Helen's post

This is no so much a reply to Helen, since that would be pointless if she never returns, but to others who may feel kind of the same way. Unlike many official band message boards I've seen, the band actually reads this, and responds from time to time either on here or in the road diary. Hell, they even respond to fan email. So, naturally people will want to communicate with the band. The guys in Train seem to be great down to earth people, and even though I have never personally met them, I'm sure that they take feedback from their fans pretty seriously. So that would explain a lot of the posts here. I admit I pretty much scan over the "DOJ rules" posts etc., but I'm sure if I were in the band I would take those a bit differently. As for looking for news and such, as with any band, the mass majority of the fans do not have inside information, and most of the ones who do are bound by whatever ties to the band they may have. So anyone with information to leak would be downright stupid to post it on the band's official board. Rumors will leak, such as the MB20 tour and they will be either confirmed or denied by the band when they see fit (and yes they will tour with MB20). Serious discusions do occur here from time to time, but this being the official board and people wanting to communicate with the band, as well as the general format of the board, such discussions generally get lost. Also questions often times get answered privately via email, which is why that option is given to us (which Helen so thoughtfully decided to fake). More serious discussions about a band tend to happen on non-official boards. For this band there happens to be a Yahoo discussion group that you can get to from the links page. So basically, if you don't like it, don't read it. But nobody honestly cares how intelligent you think you are because you think you know what a discussion board is all about. Peace.

Ryan - Wed May 2 13:12:41 EDT 2001


Is anybody listening?

Hello?
I am a big Train fan and new to this board, but I will never come back! I am reading through the posts and I have to ask? Does anybody care? All kinds of comments are being made and the only responses are from people who should keep their comments to each other private via email! This isn't a Message Board to share ideas, this is a venting Board for people to make themselves feel better by either complaining about something silly or praising Train with the same boring compliments. But nobody is paying attention or cares what you have to say? Questions are asked and nobody answers. As one of the biggest Train fans around, I was hoping to see some real discussion of the band and information (of which there is a small amount--and thanks to those who provide that). Instead, it's clear to me that the group of Train fans that post to this board are those that have the intellectualy capacity of a pea. I am happy to say, for the rest of you disgusted here, that there are more advanced forms of life that enjoy Train as well, not just what's represented here.

With that said, flame away, but I won't be coming back to read it anyway!

Ryan your post was funny as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rory - Wed May 2 11:51:58 EDT 2001


If at first you don't succeed...

Well, apparantly my last post appeased the download gods and it is letting me get it this time. Or maybe Gov. Huckabee reached an agreement with "W" in the last 5 minutes. So I guess for people having trouble, just keep trying and maybe you will get it. I know that may not be much, but apparantly this thing rewards effort. Peace.

Ryan - Wed May 2 11:51:44 EDT 2001


who are TRAIN??????

hi i somehow have downloaded a song off the internet (drops of jupiter).
i have never heard of Train but i love the sound.
is there any plans for it to be released in the UK, and where can i find the album Drops of Jupiter in the UK.
can anyone HELP.
thanks, a new fan in the UK

fiona - Wed May 2 11:43:46 EDT 2001


seceeded from the Union?

Apparantly Arkansas has seceeded from the Union. I've tried with two different ISP's both last night and today to download the new song, but keep getting the message "We're sorry but this offer is only available to residents of the US." I've heard of people who were having trouble last night that got it fine today, but I'm still in the dark here. Well, on the bright side, I suppose "W" is no longer my president anymore.

I did have a few problems yesterday, but everything worked fine - Why wasn't this

Subject of your message

Do train have any plans to come to the UK on tour? I think they would do really well here- there is a lot of crap music coming out of the UK at the moment and it's good to hear a real band playing proper music!

In response to Bradley

Bradley,

The guy from Atlanta was John Mayer, and up and coming new artist off Aware/Columbia. Check out www.johnmayer.com

BTW, the show last night was fabulous in Birmingham. I wasn't able to see the entire set as I was working backstage and frankly it was 100 on the floor, but what I saw blew me away.

Jackson, MS Show

Sup guys. Just wanted to drop you a line and say that your show in Jackson, MS last night (4/30) was the best show that I've ever been to. The energy was great. The new album is great. I can't wait until "Hopeless" gets the #1 spot on the charts. It'll be there. Keep up the good work and come back to MS soon...
One question... What was the name of the guys from Atlanta who were with you? They were great...

Drops of Jupiter

Have never listened to Train before. Saw the video for Drops of Jupiter and it caught my interest. I purchased the CD yesterday at wal-mart and listened to it all night! Best CD put out by a band in a long time. I had to go buy 2 Tapes of Drops of Jupiter today so I have one in both cars. Great CD! Train you have a new fan. I look forward to seeing you in concert when you come some place near Iowa. Thanks for giving me some new music to listen to!!

If you like Train, you'll love these guys

Hey everyone, I just wanted to know if anybody has heard of a band called ZOOstory? My friend just played me their single "Mantaray" and it is just sooo awesome! I think they're pretty new, but definitely worth a listen. I really think you guys should check them out and hear their unbelievable rock sound. I'm pretty sure their website is at www.zoostory.net. Well if anyone has any info on them, it would greatly be appreciated!

13 track Drops of Jupiter

For those of you lucky enough to find the Drops of Jupiter cd with the 13 tracks on it, what are some of the names of the stores you were able to find it in? Nobody around here (southern CA) seems to have it or even know what I mean when I ask...they all think it's the 2-track-only-promo. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Your thoughts: CONVINCED MY G.M. AT THE STATION TO ADD "DROPS OF JUPITER"!!! IT'S SUCH A GREAT SONG THAT IS SURE TO REACH SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. EVERTIME I PLAY IT, I GET A CALL ASKING ABOUT IT. THE WHOLE CD IS JUST FANTASTIC. SEE YOU IN ATLANTA!

Subject of your message


Hey guys,
Scott here, manager of Sunfur. Don't know if you'll get to this but thought i'd chime in and tell you how much i like the new record as well as your show in Petaluma. Lookin' at Charlie up there on the stage reminded me of a psychedelic Sunday at the Hog Farm!

I thought you should have thrown the song, "Train" into the set. Tell the record co. to make either 'Hopeless, but the sincerity of the music shined through.
Does that sound similiar?
A jet is a method of transportation.
Does that sound similiar?
The influences are more than just coincidence.
Cheers to Train for continuing the legacy!

Phoenix concert

Your concert in Phoenix was awesome. When are you guy comming back to the Valley of the Sun.

Kevin - Tue May 1 19:47:29 EDT 2001


Train's Early Influences

I have noticed that Train seems to have some deep roots derived from the Jets. The lyrics reflect some Jets greats like "Make It Real" and "You Got It All". Pat's vocals are incredibly similar Leroy Wolfgramm's, especially on the high notes. It's kind of cool that their early work together has paid off for Train.

I am hoping with the Jets recent comeback tour, that Train will consider having them open for them. What an awesome show that'd be!!!

jimmy!!!!

Jimmy!!What's up!!!Looking forward to seeing you in Chicago! I guess the rest of the world has decided how great your music is!! I must say I see a tremendous amount of talent shining through!! Saw you on TV!! I guess this means you've made it big time!!!! I knew it was only a matter of time for you guys!!

I e-mailed you a month ago did you get it??
Life is good here in Chicago. Real Estate is going well. I have now decided to take more time to enjoy life! Or shall I say the Dr. told me it is necessary, but I won't bore you with all the details. I play volleyball twice a week on a four's co-ed team and I thorougly enjoy you music on a daily basis I must tell you that your music has brought so much "joy" to my life!!!!!! Kathy and I went downtown for her birthday she was having much fun!! I wanted to go to sleep, not stay out late but I was trying to be the good little friend and stay out for her celebration! I think it was an off night for the scenery!! If you know what I mean. I'm going to be at your show in Chicago on May 16th hope to see you there! Now that security is so important don't know if we'll get to say hello!! I hope so.

Take care all ...Train. I know your working hard!! Oh by the way your CD is now my favorite CD I have one at home,one in car!! It is awsome!!! Is it #1 on the charts?? if not it will be!!!

INDIANAPOLIS SHOW

I drove 6 hours from Wisconsin to see the Indianapolis show on April 28th, which cost
me a ton in gas money, but IT WAS WELL WORTH IT! I had seats in the top third
of the ampitheather at Butler University, but Pat was oh so kind to invite everyone
down to fill the gap in between the stage and the seats. I was one of the lucky ones,
and got a front row seat without even having to pay for it. There was minimal talking
and maximum playing of songs. The whole concert was fantastic and I must say that
it has reached the number one spot on my all time best concerts list. Please come to
Milwaukee again really soon, we miss you!!!!

Laura - Tue May 1 17:33:13 EDT 2001


All Aboard.....(original)

Once and awhile a group comes along you can't turn away from. There is something about hearing them for the first time, that draws you closer to their music. Train has done a fantastic job, in the time they have been together, to be fun, inspirational, energetic, and at times even romantic. Train will be in town on Sunday, can't wait to hear them live.
Rock on fellas, we're listening........Already looking forward to the next CD, and to seeing you in Charleston. Later..

Has anyone else tried to download sharks? The disk is verified and a screen pops up and says please wait. I've been waiting for a while now and nothing is happening. Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it? Oh yeah, and what two songs are on the limited edition bonus cd? Any suggestions/answers would be nice.

does anybody else think the "do do do do" part in this song is as orgasmic as i do!! Also, I'd like to say you guys were incredible in Dallas on the 27th. I've seen lots o shows and you guys are the best yet. Pat, your pipes are phenomenal and the rest of the guys are top notch as well. Oh and thanks for playin that song at the show! I'm a fan for life!

It is great to see such a great band achieve succes. My lady turned me on to your first cd and I loved it! As soon as the new was out in the stores I picked it up for her,great cd,love your songwriting!With all that in mind, we were hoping that you would not forget us down here in Santa Cruz and play a gig for us at Palookaville!!!I am sure all of the other Train fans will dig not having to drive to S.F. to see and hear some great music!!!
Peace and all the best,

Indpls, Butler Show

WOW! My husband and I were able to get to the very front when Pat said the audience was to far away. Train truely cares about their fans and putting on a great show. I can honestly say it was SO COOL to have the band actually look at me while they play. Anyway, the show was Awesome! I was afraid I was going to be the oldest person there, but I wasn't. The band has a great mix for an audience, young and old. Although... it has been over a decade since I had cotton mouth just from the air around me!!! HAHA Keep it up.

Lori - Tue May 1 15:10:09 EDT 2001


choo choo

I just saw train last night in Jackson Mississippi at Hal & Mal's, a medium sized bar- it was completely packed, the crowd knew every word, the band played extremely well- my best friend bought me their first albulm about two years ago and I'd never heard of them, and then "virginia" became such a hit- I love the music. There is no experience like listening to a band like this live- they still enjoy the music, their eyes light up when they play, they glow when screaming fans are singing at the tops of their lungs every word to every song. The new albulm is incredible, if you've not gotten it yet, make it a priority, it's all I've been playing, and every track, every single song, is "high quality H2O." -the waterboy

Play Abilene Texas

I've been numerous concerts in my lifetime, from the Stone to Dave Mathews, Rockfest to Ozzfest, main stages to the 2nd stages.... and few bands are as entertaining as Train. I didn't think much of the band at the time their first song hit the airways. But I was lent the album and found that the lyrics, the music, all of it was intoxicationg. Very few groups have this combination.... U2, Third Eye Blind, and Sister Hazel are the few that do come to mind. However now Train can be add to that list, and in my mind , are certainly worthy of a Grammy (if anything , at least a nomination) for Drops of Jupiter. Now all I can say is I hope they come back and play Abilene (Texas) again. Lord knows they have a fan base here.

Eric - Tue May 1 14:12:36 EDT 2001


Where oh where can those little tabs be???

If there are any guitar players reading this, please send me Train tabs. And I mean anything other than Meet Virginia and Drops of Jupiter. They're great songs, don't get me wrong, but they're the ONLY ones I can find on the 'net anywhere! Particularly interested in Heavy and Idaho. Help me!

Indy Concert

You guys blew us away in Indianapolis! I think a lot of the crowd only knew one or two songs (including me, my husband and a friend), but we all walked away with the desire to know more--I have been thinking about it since then. Our friend Rob really loved "something more". He's going through a similar situation and really felt it. Keep up the good work.

Song

I saw you guys in Seattle a few weeks ago and truly loved your music. I have since purchased your two latest CD's, however I have a question. You sang a song that was kind of an African-American Spiritual. The audience was dancing in the aisles and since I am originally from the South, I truly love this music. Can you tell me the name of the song and what CD this can be found on and where I can purchase?

A new fan,

Doesn't matter -- I still stand strongly by my predictions for massive success!! And hey -- it's good for me! That means I can go out and buy it today and not wait another two weeks!

Drops of Jupiter

Drops of Jupiter!!!

The first time I heard this song, I was absolutely blown away by it! I was in my car, sitting at a red light, excited and mezmerized by what I was hearing, so much so that I didn't notice when the light turned green.

This is one of the BEST rock songs I've heard in awhile. I'll bet anything that Drops of Jupiter will quickly move up the charts (it appears to be already -- esp. on the rock charts). When the Drops of Jupiter album is released shortly, I strongly predict that it will get rave reviews and will be a big seller. By the way (and this is no joke), I am very intuitive and very psychic -- you can mark my words on my prediction!! Get ready to make the covers of Spin and Rolling Stone, guys!

Train is going to match the success of some of the other great rock bands we are seeing at the moment (such as Creed -- another awesome band). It looks like once again, rock music is making a comeback in a big way. It's so refreshing to see talented rock bands with fantastic musical arrangements and meaningful lyrics hitting the airwaves.

Hooray for Train! Best of luck to you guys and I hope to see you playing in central Florida very soon! (Please, please, pretty please with sugar on top -- come and play at the House of Blues in Orlando -- I'll be the there, front and center! I'm told that I'm very attractive, so that means eye-candy for you guys while you play.)

Ginger :o)

I just saw Train last Friday here in Dallas. They were absolutely fucking amazing!!! I have never been a huge fan, until now, and I was totally blown away by their stellar performance. Thanks to the band! Can't wait to see ya'll again here down South!

european fans


just wanted to say HI to all of u train people...only yesterday i had finally my copy of "drops of Jupiter"...i was driving from Milano to Roma...more than 700 km...the cd playing all the time...i love your music guys..there's not much more to say...thank u...hope to seen u touring europe someday in the future...
for Peter...here's in italy train's albums never been released and i think the same in the rest of europe...so all u can do is
1- buy from internet if u have a credit card
2- order it to some record stores wich sells imported cds
3- send your ex-grlfriend to vacation to NYC and ask her to grab you a copy :) ...this is my own case but i don't think it can apply for you too

ciao!

Train Baby!

I would just like to say that train is AWESOME and they need to come to Atlanta, other than at Music Midtown, because it sucks for those people who don't have tickets...::cough cough::Train is so talented and the thing that I love the most about them is there music and the way that the lyrics of the songs flow together, and really, make sense. I just wish I could see them in Concert!

I would really like to hear #12 from the cd Train. I think the name of the track is Train, but I'm not sure.
Y'alls music is wonderful. This will be my fourth time seeing you in B'ham and it will definately not be the last. I'll be the dancing girl in the front row (or so) that looks like Sandra Bullock. I look forward to seeing y'all and to seeing the all the other area Train fans!!!

Dallas Show

Oh my gosh guys! The show in Dallas at Deep Ellum was so awesome! I am so glad you picked to do it somewhere like that because of the fact that it is pretty small. Everything felt so personal. I felt like I was right on stage with you (I was actually about 3 "rows" back though...untill the encore then I got right up to the very front). Eventhough it was extremely hot I absolutely loved the show and the feeling it gave me. I also loved how Pat came out to the back after the show...now I have an autograph I'll treasure forever. Anyways, you guys totally rock. Your sounds are so original which makes you hard to get sick of. I love it. Well, just wanted to say how much the show in Dallas rocked. Later! ~*Dawn*~

TRAIN in SD??

I have not met many San Diegans that are familiar with TRAIN.. I would enjoy meeting any!! I have been a follower since 98 when I saw them in LA..
I saw them at 4th and B last year and at Cane's this year..
I just love the band and want the world to know about them...

New Fan

Hello my name is Joey, and I'm from Queens, NY. I became a fan only recently, and have been madly in love with Train's music ever since.

I looked around on a few websites dedicated to Train and haven't really found much information. Well, I mean the extremely important information, i.e., Do they have girlfriends or are they married? LOL!

Well, do they? Thanks, Joey

Joey - Mon Apr 30 19:06:25 EDT 2001


great album

Just bought "Drops of Jupiter" the other day. Although it was a whim purchase, I
have to say that I am mighty impressed with the whole CD. It's like when you buy
a box of crackerjacks, expecting a decoder ring or something, but you find that your
prize is really something better - and you didn't know that you'd wanted it till you had
it landed your hands.
So silly me, missed your gig here in Seattle. Hope to catch you in SF at the end of
May.

Mary Saucier - Mon Apr 30 19:00:25 EDT 2001


just to say that this new disc is the ultimate album- i mean it makes me so happy it gets me hyperventalating cuz it hits home so hard it gets me SO jealous that you guys are so awesome i wish so much that i could write half as awesome as you can (musically and lyrically)and play and sing with the emotion that you guys do ---btw-vocals on getaway make me have to sit down and catch my breathe and i love the intro of something more
i'm gonna check this sight every nite looking for a concert in NYC to be announced
hope youre having an awesome time on the road
your jealous fan--lola

New Album

I was listening to the radio yesterday and heard the title track off of your latest album.
WOW! I first became a fan when I heard 'Meet Virginia' but let me say this: 'Drops of
Jupiter' has made me a lifelong fan. I went out right after I heard the song to buy the
album. Thank you for such a great album and especially a great song! Keep it real!

I haven't been a long time listener, but it didn't take long for me to fall in love with your music. I like the fact that you guys are about the music and not about the money. Thats cool. I also would like to ask if you would play in Peoria, IL. Its a great city to get your music heard. You know the saying "it plays in Peoria". Anyway I just wanted to say you guys ahve a great band and any time you want to play in Peoria just come on in.

Road section and message board

Hey there everyone, after reading the comments below i would have to say I agree totally. The ROAD section is fabulous and you guys are doing an amazing job staying down to earth and in touch with your fans. This new disc is really picking up, DROPS is the #1 song on WGRD in Grand Rapids. Cant wait to see you in detroit!
Also the message board would be alot more useful in thread form or - Mon Apr 30 18:06:03 EDT 2001

Missed you in Denver since I moved here during that show and I was so bummed!!!

Then tried to win tickets for two days from 102.1.....my boyfrind who has never won anything and didn't know who you were........heard the contest and called........I got two tickets. Your show brought tears to my eyes....IT WAS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I waited almost two years to see you and everyone thought I was crazy!!!
Thank you for the talent and feelings when you perform on and off stage!!! Your songs are REAL!!!
Keep up the extremely tough work!! Extraordinary comes from being Extra Ordinary!!!

Train In Seattle....

I was wondering if Train already toured here in Seattle,WA? I would luv to see them in concert.
If anyone knows anything about them coming to Seattle please respond thanks. I obviously checked the tourdates and nothing so far.

Sally Caballero - Mon Apr 30 17:02:37 EDT 2001


Dallas Show

I finally got to see you guys for the first time at Deepp Ellum Live last Friday. I was blown away by how good your live show is. I have always heard that Train did a great cover of Ramble On, and I wasn't disappointed. All of the new songs were fantastic, and I thought it was a great move to put Virginia and Drops earlier in the show. Hope you come back to Dallas with Matchbox! Thanks for a great show!

James - Mon Apr 30 16:12:50 EDT 2001


Another fan paying homage...

Okay, so a while ago I heard "Meet Virginia". Liked it but chalked it up to another one-hit-wonder. (Sorry guys...)Then heard "Free". Well, I'm a sucker so I went to see them live at the "Gypsy Tea Room" here in Dallas. The club was so packed I couldn't get in and as I was leaving they started to play. I sat on the curb outside and listened to the ENTIRE set. When it was over I immedeately went to get the first CD. And then I waited for you to come back. Then I bought the next CD, and I waited some more. It has been over two years, but I FINALLY got to see Train live last Friday. Excellent showmanship, gentlemen. Also, thanks for your continuous updates on the Road Diary because it is really nice to know that 1) you all are human and 2) you value your fans. Now just don't wait so long next time to come back to Dallas, y'hear?

Jen

Jennifer - Mon Apr 30 16:10:46 EDT 2001


Random Thoughts

1) The new disk is fantastic -- especially She's on Fire, Respect, and Getaway (love that one!).
2) Thanks for keeping the Road Diary updated. It's great checking the 'net every couple of days to read about your travels. I love a band who is really appreciative of their fans.
3) To the webmaster -- a threaded message board would be easier to read given the band's ever-growing popularity.
4) I would love to see you play the Myrtle Beach House of Blues, on a weekend preferably (I live in Virginia). It's a great venue.
5) Thanks for the hours and hours of entertainment your music provides. In today's awful music climate of boy-bands and angry rock, thank God for bands like Train the keep radio somewhat bearable.

Jake - Mon Apr 30 14:51:11 EDT 2001


Cool Show !

It'll be amazing if this actually gets to the band. I'll try anyway.

My friends and I really enjoyed your show last Saturday in Indianapolis. Sorry the crowd was a little subdued. People would rather sit back and and challenge you to entertain them than actually take part and have the show be collaborative.

Anyway, it was a great show and we look forward to having you stop by again soon.

Brady Smith - Mon Apr 30 14:42:03 EDT 2001


The new CD

Drops of Jupiter is the first song in a long time that I lose myself in when i listen to it. I first heard it on the radio and fell in love with it instantly! When I heard the CD, i couldn't believe how awesome it is. Right now, tracks 3,5,7 and 11 are constantly playing or stuck in my head. I'm really impressed. I'm hoping to catch the show at Barrymore's in May.

Thanks,
d :)

Respect

TRAIN are one of the most entertaining live bands I have seen ( Toad the Wet Sprocket, Better than Ezra, and Athenaeum , to mention some others,) I think with the NEW cd the best live track is "Respect", it is a full on in your face song, but I also really like the emotion in "Hopeless", but I must admit "Meet Virginia" is still the one that brings me goose bumps, even after a millions times of hearining it, it is such a classic !!!

Jason - Mon Apr 30 13:09:00 EDT 2001


u guys r great!!!!!!!

This is my third message, just a little note to say that Drops Of Jupitor is still my favorite song!!!!, It touches me in ways I can't explain!!It is such a special song!!! I now have all my friends and family addicted to the song...I guess it was bound to happen because it is on all day every day!!!lol.....
You guys are fab......keep up the great work, and keep turning out new songs like Drops of Juputor!!!
Have a Great Day

Setlist?

Can anyone give me an idea of Train's current setlist? I'm sure they mix it up some, but what is the general list? How many songs from DOJ do they typically play? I'm going to the Birmingham, AL show Saturday night, can't wait!

Austin

You guys were great in Austin. I know you are ready for a break, but I can't wait till we meet again. It was kind of you all to take the time to greet us afterwards. THANKS! Hope the fans in Dallas were good to y'all as well. Have fun on the East Coast....Redonda

Redonda - Mon Apr 30 10:16:44 EDT 2001


Train's choice of venues

When are these guys going to play a theatre like House of Blues? He kept going on about how far he was from the audience at Saturday night's show (4/28) in Indianapolis. I agree! When are they going to play a place like the House of Blues where it's a real intimate setting? Last year they played smaller clubs and it was great- saw them at The Vougue in Indianapolis- awesome show. First time I saw them was at Mixfest '99 in Boston- GREAT show! I hope that after this tour, they do a small club tour again. It's the best way to see them.
If you have tickets to see them this summer- be prepared for one of the best shows you'll see this summer.
(I'm always glad when one of "my" bands makes it big, but it sucks when they start playing bigger shows and you keep getting farther and farther away. Train is a show that should be experinced up close!)

Phyllis Gault - Mon Apr 30 10:13:13 EDT 2001


Please record "Flatfoot"

It's one of the best songs you've got. Maybe it should make an appearance on a live album. I've heard you play it live four times, though it wasn't on the set list Friday night in Deep Ellum. Nevertheless, a great concert here in Dallas.

TexasTrain - Mon Apr 30 09:57:29 EDT 2001


Train is great

Hey, I go to Jacksonville State University and I came to the concert that you had back in March. It was great. I was a huge fan before the release of Drops Of Jupiter now I am a even bigger fan. Drops Of Jupiter, the whole CD is great. So thanks and keep up the good work. Carmen

Town point park concert

Hi, it's me again, My son and I were talking about your visit to Norfolk VA last spring and I said "isn't that the concert where you got thrown into the security area?" He said yeah, and I said "Well that was after train went off right?" He said "it was at the very beginning of their show", do you guys remember that? Security threw him out of the concert area and it wasn't even his fault (at least thats what he told me), Also, I brought n"drops of Jupiter" CD to my favorite pub last night, we all bring in our music from time to time, anyway yours is not the music usually listened to so I wanted to turn them on to it, EVERYBODY totally loved it and said their going to buy the CD too.So add several more people to the passenger list!!!!!!!!!!

Any chance of this happening??? ;-) JM

Best Live Song

I was just wondering what everyone thought was the best song that they performed live. I was very impressed by the incredibly clear sound (even in a so-so venue like the Cajun House), and the jaw-dropping quality of it all, personally. But I gotta stay true to my preferences and say that I got so excited when I heard them begin the opening to "I Wish You Would". I dunno what it is about that song; I just get chills, and hearing it live was a dream come true. ^^ However I must admit that "Whipping Boy" or "She's On Fire" are close seconds for my favorites....

Wonderfully amazed!

I'm not sure who reads this, but I have to say that I am sitting her with so much emotion inside me because of the intensity of the lyrics I have heard today after buying your "drops of jupiter" cd.

My sister and I saw TRAIN perform as the opening act for Big Head Todd & The Monsters about 3 years ago. We were blown away! We have been fans every since and recently were able to see TRAIN again in Portland for the KINK Earthday concert! It was so exciting to see other fans there too and that we weren't the only ones dancing our fool heads off while most of the audience just sat.

Your lyrics touch me and to tell you the truth that hasn't happend to me before. I love music and it is a huge part of my life but mostly I just listen to the beat and sing along not really paying attention to the words.

Thank you for opening my eyes!

I wish you all the success in the world along with all the happiness you deserve.

Thank you for sending "drops of jupiter" my way

You guys really put on a quality show at Butler last night! I thought your new song Mississippi was the highlight. You guys are five excellent musicians who appear to be having the time of your life at the moment! Its nice to have you guys around at a time when most "new" music is so degrading and negative. You guys are a positive note! thanks, c-ya soon! Also thanks for the guitar pick, i'll put it right between my John Fogerty and kenny wayne shepherd picks in my beloved collection.

Dedicated to Train!

I saw my first Train show last Thursday in Austin Texas:) The private patio perfomance! Before that day I had only liked Train's songs..but now I am a full out fan lol. They captivate an audience when they perform. Thanx guys! Great music!

So what did all of you Train fans think of Bob Schneider and the guys? I've heard a ton of people really thought they were great. Was is a good choice to have Bob open for Train...meaning did the music fit in???

You.re welcome, Loki

You are quite welcome. My suggestion is that you get tickets the second you hear that they go on sale. Train is already growing REAL FAST, and by the time the other tour comes around, after one or two more singles are released, and 15 million more copies of DOJ are sold, the tickets will be hard to come by, especially since Train will be playing a longer opening set than most bands do. See ya...

Craig - Sun Apr 29 19:02:28 EDT 2001


U GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

I am a huge fan of Train, their music is so beautiful and i love "drops of jupiter" it as so much meaning!!! Keep up the great music guys!!!

Well guys, I hope you make it over here one day in sunny England. DoJ is one of those rare albums which you can listen to over and over again. Its on a par with Turin Brakes. Don't stop playing!!! Jaqui

Increcible!

Just thought that i would let you know that Drops of Jupiter is the first cd that i have gotten in a while...it is incredible! Lyrics that actually have meaning and can be understood, plus awesome music...you guys are wonderful. Though i know that iowa is out of the way...would love to hear of a concert date here. And don't stop doing what you love...you are too good at it!

AWESOME INDY SHOW

I just got back from the show in Indy. I find it hard to find the words to discribe it. We drove four hours to see the show. I was right up front center stage. Train ROCK'D! I have bruises on my legs from dancing and stretching over the cement barriers. Totally worth the bruises! Pat & Jimmy thanks for all the attention! You can sing to me any day! I hope to make more great memories with you again! Until then........keep making your heart sing!

Drops of Jupiter Production Less Than It Should Be?

Anyone else find the production of Drops of Jupiter pretty poor?

Don't get me wrong, I think Train is perhaps the best band on record today, its just that I listen to Drops of Jupiter through some pretty high end stuff and it sounds terribly muddled. There are parts of the album where one intstrument is indistinguishable from the others, it becomes so bad. Truthfully, I can barely withstand letting the CD play out due to this.

Their first release (at least I think its their first) self-titled release doesn't have this problem at all, so its not like I am being hyper-critical.

Regards,
Norm Mowry

Norm Mowry - Sun Apr 29 13:53:58 EDT 2001

Train in Indianapolis

Your thoughts
Drove in from Chicago to see the band at Indy. The show was great, the venue was nice, small, outside & covered. The band sounded incredible, a nice mix of old & new & one great Led Zepplin cover.
Also had the chance to say Hello to the band & get autographs. I had a poster signed & I am on my way to the mall now to have it framed. I think taking a few minutes to interact with the fans is important, it's not hard & it means a lot to us ( to me anyway)
Thinking of catching the show here in chicago too now & looking forward to the train/Matchbox show.
I know I got some really great picture's too, which I am having developed today.

Most Beautiful Songs

Great CD

Great CD guys. Taking one over to Sweden with me next week to give to my soon to be five year old daughter for her birthday.
Best of luck, and I most certainly will try to get to one of your concerts with my little one. I hope you tour Stockholm soon.

PS:
Who ever made your Drops of Jupiter video, keep them around, it was excellent.

Pat's groovy moves

I agree with those folks who commented on Pat's "dancey" thing.. I posted about it after I saw them in Scottsdale, AZ (4/21 posting). I think he's quite sexy and a lot of fun to watch! The groovey moves make me laugh!!

Thx Train for being just plain GROOVEY! :)

sharon - Sun Apr 29 11:29:15 EDT 2001


Ditto to Brandon

Yes, the Indy show was fantastic!! The performance was strong from beginning to end and the guys seem very appreciative of the fans...especially evident when Patrick requested a closure of the 'gap' between he and the crowd...that was a cool thing!!!!! The rendition of "Ramble On" was great....much better than I would have imagined!! I think we all appreciated the story behind "She's On Fire"....funny!! As much as I hated to see the show end...the finale was one of the best I have seen....letting the crowd fade out with "Free"....only to have the guys really finish it off after the encore songs!! Just a little feedback from very impressed fan!! One of the best shows I have seen......looking forward to seeing Train back in Indy!!! Thanks for the great music!

P.S. I have seen numerous mentions on the board about Patrick's "Dancey Thing".....WOW! He sure does have some smooth moves! It was most enjoyable to watch!!!!

your new cd

I bought your new cd last night and didn't have the opportunity to listen to it immediatley. It is about 7:30 am and very quiet here on my backporch on a cool, spring Oklahoma morning. I am having coffee, sitting on my lawn chair, watching the hawks in my back yard and listening to the wonderful music coming from my player. I love it! Thank you for providing music one can LISTEN to. Robin

The Things That Keep Us Moving ...

I haven't been here in awhile ... and I've missed it. This internet-stuff really is addictive ...

Well, and so is good music. And TRAIN definitely is one fine band!
I can't live without Drops ... I've been on vacation - and they were EVERYWHERE! On the radio, on TV, at the hotel ... I must have been a good girl to deserve all this.

For the most part of my life, music was EVREYTHING. And this made music even a little more beautiful.

And YOU did too. So, take care. And everything you want to share is highly appreciated. At least from my side.
I'll come back soon.

LIVE

I saw someone else mention how entertaining Pat's "dancey thing" is live, and I actually wanted to comment about this for a while! For those who have seen them live (and from what I can gather, that's most of us), I can only saw, for lack of a better word, his little "dances" are ADORABLE! Not that the word is sufficient, but we were chuckling at his very "fluid" movements throughout the whole show. Not that I'm knocking them or anything; He's a damn fine looking piece of beef, and has some awesome pipes. I just thought it was....amusing, to say the least. Very entertaining, Patrick! ^^ I can't stand the singers who just stand there like a vegetable. It's nice to know the audiences aren't the only ones who get into the music!

Can't get enough

Just a note to say that for the past 2 1/2 years (since the first time that I heard "Free") I have not been able to get enough of you guys! For the past 5 or 6 weeks (since I bought DOJ) I have not been able to stop playing it! It is so wonderful! I saw you guys at the House of Blues in LA...you were incredible!! Sure hope to see you guys REAL soon!! (I am planning on making it to the Tonight show taping!) Looking forward to seeing you there!! Take care of yourselves & hurry back!!

Dawn Renee - Sat Apr 28 22:35:06 EDT 2001


Saw you in Seattle

Shut my mouth and knock me over with a feather! I was so impressed with the show that you guys put on at the Earthday Concert! I was already a fan (and CD owner) but, now you have me for life. Robert Plant, eat your heart out!

It is my opinion, for whatever that is worth, that anyone who didn't know who you were before that concert (they must live under a rock or liston to some other station than KMTT), became a believer and ran out and bought the music.

I only wish that you were going to be back on this coast sooner than the gig in Vancouver, BC.

Best of luck to you and keep your chin up on the road, I know in my heart that you are creating energy that has a momentum that cannot be stopped. It will take you as far as you want to go. It is true that anything worth having is hard.

Thanks for the great time, today I woke up with 'Jupiter' playing in my head. Then I put on the CD. See, its working... even on a sub-liminal level...

Smiles,

Kate

Hi. I was just in the midst of sufing the net and i came acrosss this site. i love music and so found the sounds section and played a few tracks. I really liked what i heard and thats where u guys come in. Coz i live in england, I'd never heard of Train before, so i don't know much about them or how popular they r. I'd love to buy their music but i need advice on which albumn to purchase (as shipping prices r so ridiculus). Can u tell me either ur fav one, or the populariest one? Thanx for ur help. luv shelle.

general comments

I would like wish Train all the best. I am a graduate of McDowell High School in Erie, PA. Pat Monahan also graduated from there. If anyone remembers, Chris Vrenna the drummer for NIN also went to Mcdowell and graduated the same year I did in 1985. It's great to see fantastic music come right out of my high school. Good luck to Train and keep up the great music.
Sincerely,
Gary Esser

Austin/Dallas

Great show in Austin! I was overwhelmed! I really wanted the dove so I could have a reason to make it to San Fran. Came up from Austin to Dallas for Friday's show but couldn't get in! Your website info about how to get tickets was all wrong and I missed the oppurtunity. Stood outside for 2 1/2 hours and they ended up not letting anyone more in! Sad story! Anyway, thankfully I saw you in Austin so it was all good! Love all your music! As an Aware Rep I do whatever I can to help you guys out! Keep the music real! Later!

Tom - Sat Apr 28 16:55:46 EDT 2001


Thank You

I just wanted to write and tell you all THANK YOU for putting your heart and soul into the new album. I am an American living in Ireland for a short while and waiting for the new album to arrive to me was painstaking. But when it came, I tore into it like a four year old and tossed the rest of the contents aside. Usually I listen to a few seconds of each song and then go back to hear everything but I couldn't even force myself to push the forward button. It's incredible. You all never cease to amaze me. I am in awe of your talent. Thank you for bringing so much joy to me all the way across the world. I walk along the Irish sea listening to Pat's voice and I swear I am in heaven. Thank you. I hope you can feel my love and gratitude all the way from here. Although, I'm quite certain you will since you touched my life all the way here in Ireland! I wish you continued success always!

Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
C
And that heaven is overrated
G D
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
Dm
One without a permanent scar

And did you ...you were searching for yourself

few and far between

i must say, it is few and far between who have a grasp on music as these guys do... i gladly rank them with Tool and NIN for their beautiful harmony and honest thought. its something that those in pop music have lost. Beautiful, just Beautiful...

Pulls her hair back as she screams "I don't really want to be the queen"... I never had a day where money didn't get in my way... and if you leave, take me along, anywhere is OK... it's easy when you laugh, it reminds you of you... staring at the dark again, you left your silhouette upon my pillow... hey, by the way, when I fell to your wayside, did I crash, or just slide?... eggplant and caviar, for you, for you, for you, for you... people are on the outside looking in, mother nature shakes, what then, what then... and if blame is the answer, it's under control, and if shame is the answer, I'm selling my soul, and if pain is the answer, I've seen it all... out of work and out of grass, mother mary never seems to stop to talk, she just walk on past... if I knew better, I wouldn't change a thing... look at yourself girl, look at myself boy, look at yourself world... I know that I'll fall in too deep, you'll wait till I fall asleep before you fade away... well this is just between us but between us, let's get high... you used to say that there's a time we all deserve to lose our minds... and did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day... I could be that freefall, come on jump to me... are you strong enough to tow the line, are you gonna make me yours, or do I make you mine... it seems you get the things you give along my way... all I ever wanted for you was to see me shining for you... thought I found the words to say, just to get you feeling fine, over heels my way... and I find that even time well spent gets bent if you need it to... but your pride made you ride on this slide by his side to his lies, seemed like forever... she's the one that makes me fall... so I ring the bell another forty time, the neighbors dog make me lose my mind... it wasn't hard to look ahead, you wanted to be me instead, I wanted to be you instead but, I fell and you fell back. What is wrong with me, well what is wrong with you jack?...

Dallas Show

Thanks guys for a fantastic show last night!!!

I was just a couple of rows from the front & every person around me knew the words to every song. I hope you guys were feeling the energy, because the crowd was definitely VERY happy.

Last night's show was such a stark contrast from the 1st time I saw you guys play...you opened for Hootie & the Blowfish here a couple of years ago. I don't think the 1st cd had been out very long...although I had picked up the cd on a whim and had instantly fell in love with it.

Anyway, it nice to see the success of Drops of Jupiter. The songwriting is spectacular, you guys did a great job!

*Note to Pat & Charlie- Thanks for being so nice and signing autographs for my friend and I... we felt a little ridiculous (luckily we had plenty of cocktails) standing by the bus, but you were both very sweet and we appreciate it!!

Good luck with the rest of the tour.

Video of Drops of Jupiter

A few weeks ago I was walking into Union Station in Los Angeles to catch a train. As I walked in, I saw that a video was being filmed. I had no idea who the band was but I thought the song they were playing was fantastic. I stood there and watched them go through the song 1 1/2 times. I then had to catch my train. Well last night on VH1 there they were. As you can guess, I got to see the filming of the Drops of Jupiter video. I'm glad I finally found out who it was I saw so I can buy their CD.

Attention Indy Train Fans!!!

This seems a little weird for me, but from reading through some of the messages on the board I have determined that there are a bunch of great fans/good people out there!! So, here goes..... I have found myself with an extra ticket for the show in Indy tomorrow night....friend bailed and too short of notice for others!! Hate to see a good ticket go to waste (at least I am assuming they are good (seating, I mean)...I won them!)and would like to see it go to a true Train fan....not someone who just wants to go cuz it's free!!! Let me know!

..or seen Colorado?

Since Train just played Denver, I was wondering...when they're actually IN Colordo and they sing "I Am"...when they get to the part "Never climbed a real rock or seen Colorado", do they still sing those lyrics or change 'em around? :)

Train

I love the sound of Train SO much! It sounds like a mix between Led Zeplin,the new Hanson CD,(A good thing) and Jonny Lang, but with a new jazzy "rocky" unique twist! I LOVE IT and I can't wait to buy the CD and see them in concert in San Fran.

Absolutely thrilled about your success. I think you guys are great, I'm embarrassed to say how much your CD is played at our house.

Just went to Cabo with Beaz to celebrate our 40th's, what a blast. Anyway, I'm trying to coax her up here for your May 26 show.

Hey guys. Just getting ready for CityFest again. Really enjoyed the performance last year. How come your not playing again???? I do have to say that I thought that the sound was a little loud. I can listen to a loud show now, but this was beyond that. I'm really looking forward to checking y'all out at Tremont. I hope there is a great crowd. Well, if you guys have some time to kill, why don't you come by a cool as hell store called Century. If your into mid-century furnishings, this is the place. It's only about ten minutes from Tremont. Find it, and maybe you can spruce up the outfits for the evening!!! C-ya

Since they're opening for Train this spring, and Train is off that day, think there's any chance Train may show up at the gig? I mean, the shows before and after the Cleveland date have both bands ont the bill -- how can I get Train to come?

Dear Fishwrap Hack,

I just read your review of the Train show at the Mystic and two words linger in my mind: YOU SUCK! Your misconception that the act was over-polished must be guided by your complete lack of ability to recognize talent. This was one of the band's first shows of the current tour so they were probably a little rusty if anything. Man, I'm glad you didn't review the rippin' San Diego show a week later. You might have slipped on the polish and cracked your head open.

You must have been the only one there that didn't have a blast. Get the shit out your ears, remove the blinders, and for God's sake, have that operation to remove the stick from your ass.

Curious

I was thinking about this. What are your passions about? Not in a bad way,like what are you so passionate about when you write these songs?Is it past experiences,I know some are. But do you ever just look at something and it gives you a feeling an emotion that feels different than any other one you have had so you feel the need to write a song. And is that what alot of your songs derive from? I know I sound wierd but I thought I would ask and see if you actually reply.thanks,Harmony in Dallas

Hello there. This is such an amazing concept to be able to correspond with a band. And from the ever increasing airplay I keep hearing, I wonder how long you will continue to keep up. Learning about this website was an added plus after having gotten the 'drops of jupiter' cd. You gentlemen have a monster song on your hands, in my humble opinion. From the first time I heard it, something caught my ear. After getting the whole disc, and now reading more of your exploits on your website, I am absolutely thrilled to see you are coming to PHILADELPHIA. Much luck to ya.

Response to Renee

Renee, I couldn't agree with you more. I am a fairly new Train listener and recently saw them in concert. I tell you, that was probably one of the best concerts I have seen (saw Collective Soul also, AWESOME). There was nothing overly fancy (saw them in a fairly small venue - which I prefer), but the music was pure and was exact to the CD's we all love to listen to. I think anything a band will do to keep there show fresh and different from every other band is a positive step in keeping thoroughly devoted fans. I have read this message board a few times in the past couple of weeks and Train definitely has a following of devoted listeners. Again, Train, keep doing what YOU do. WE are your critics. IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME!

Love ya,
Shelly

I adore the lyrics to many of the songs & it gives me renewed faith that people can & do have AMAZING connections with all kinds of other people out there every day. And for me. That is what it is all about. PEOPLE. And TRAIN writes about LIFE & PEOPLE.

Right on train! :)

Train, you are, in you, the best soy latte I've ever had! Move over Dave Matthews, Pat and his crew are coming to town- and they are playing at an intimate venue where I might actually get to feel like i'm at the same show as the band.
Don't jump on the "band wagon" and go arena style, Train, you are too good for that!

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.

Pat's Vocals may be best in rock today

A friend was asking me who my favorite rock vocalists were. Now I am a huge Dave Matthews fan and his voice has such great range for a rock guy but I think that Pat's voice may be the best in rock today. He sings with so much emotion and also matches Dave's range. Just keep up the great work Train. As of now I am trying to make all of my friends Train Fans too.

P.S. Does anyone know if Train is coming to Kansas City? I saw them last year in an ensemble concert but it was only like a 5 to 7 song set so I was hoping they would come again.
