Love your channel Fred! Back around '08 I went to see Angels and Airwaves in Chicago at The Riviera, and The Color Fred was one of the openers. Dude, what a show! I recall running into you either before or after the show (I wanna say beforehand) and we chatted for just a brief moment. I'll always remember how polite and cool you were. My buddy Taylor encouraged me to reach out, and I was kinda iffy on it...not sure how'd you react. Was glad I did!! Anyways, love the vids and can't wait to get back out on the road again myself!

Here are a few additional tips for touring. It's preferable to go out with guys you get along with, especially if you're traveling in a van. Also, buy a big bag of Chex Mix from Costco or any snack you can munch on throughout the tour. And finally, save money by staying at fan's houses, preferable girls; not necessarily for sexual reasons, but they are generally more cleaner. By staying at others' houses you can, save on rooms, get a shower and maybe get a better exploration of the town you're in.

You arent wrong about playing in front of a little amount of people. I recently had the pleasure of seeing you in Poughkeepsie NY in front of maybe 30 people but you guys played like you packed an arena. Easily one of my favorite shows and I hope you come back this way. Also had about a 40 minute conversation with you so your connection skills are on point. You only ended the conversation because the other guys packed your stuff and you were worried about them being pissed🤣

I love the video about writing better lyrics I’d love to see a video about how to improve song writing I keep finding myself playing the same chord progressions over and over and similar strumming patterns. How can I break my habits and get my hands away from well worn paths on my guitar?

I know all to well the trials of tour. We toured consistently for years. Our Dayton, Ohio was Abilene, TX. We played a super rough show with a band called "the obvious" in Austin. Two weeks later that band called us to play their CD release in Abilene. After that show Abilene was easily the strongest city on tour. It was always our launch point. kzitem.info/news/bejne/tH2ClpVjrnuYoXo
