Well, I figured I wold make a thread for these guys for a few reasons...

1) They are wicked band
2) They are Canadian
3) They will be on tour with the Sick Puppies this summer
4) They have already been on tour with the Sick Puppies
5) They are really good live

They have released 4 full albums...
Them vs. You vs. Me
Self titled
Greyest of the blue skies
Tip

Finger Eleven is:
Scott Anderson - Vocals
James Black - Guitar
Rick Jackett - Guitar
Sean Anderson - Bass
Rich Beddoe - Drums

They are a great live band and have loads of energy. I've seen them 3 maybe 4 times and it seems they get better and better. I can't wait to see them on tour this summer with the pups.

Recently they had to cancel a European tour with "The band that shall not be named" because Scott sprained his neck.... hopefully he gets the rest he needs and is ready to go in July.

They are a great live band and very interesting to watch while they perform... they're pretty crazy on stage...except for Sean who barely moves It's really funny because they are super calm offstage << just felt like using that smiley...

I saw them open for Evanescence at the first show at the Pearl in Vegas.
Their pretty good. The drummer makes some hilarious faces.

I heard a lot of negative reviews on their performances last year because apparently they get quite drunk before going onstage, but I've never seen them live myself. I have their Them Vs. You Vs. Me album though and I really enjoy it. So it's refreshing to hear someone say they aren't so bad afterall. SP is touring with so many great bands this summer, I really wish I could catch one

[Kemmy]

Sham, them being drunk explains a lot.. the way they act on stage is... interesting, to say the least.

They're still pretty good live, though

[Pwneress]

hahah oh yeah...man were the drunk when I saw them with Ev. in Fresno.

but the performance was enjoyable although it'd be nice if they toned the drinking to a minimum...or maybe they just get nervous that they have to get drunk...=P


either way their music is enjoyable to listen to

[cpeisley]

My mum is hooked on the song paralyser, they're not my style but i recognise good music when i hear it




Rock on

[Shamrock]

I just realized they're coming to my city. It will be like the first rock band in our brand spankin new events centre! I'm considering going but I'm not sure... maybe if I could find a friend who is also going to stand with. I'll have to ask around. It's weird thinking they are coming here, we are SUCH a small town - just never heard of before that some band would come here lol... Someone convince me to spend the $50

[Kemmy]

Do it Sham! Like you said, bands never come to your city AND they'll be the first rock band to play at the new convention center. Plus, you'll have a good time.

[Shamrock]

Haha! You're just repeating what I said! I will see who else is going! Part of me doesn't want to go unless I can rock the barricade. I can't imagine there being people sitting there all day out front in such a small town, but what if someone does!? lol...

[Kemmy]

Who else are they coming with, Sham?

[Shamrock]

Maurice!

The concert is toniiight! I'm disappointed their fan base isn't very big, their forum is totally dead, I was hoping to catch the set list from a previous concert so I'd know what songs to be in store for. Oh well, it'll be a surprise.

[Sheila]

I know!! I did the same when they came to town and found nothing.

Enjoy the show!!!

Aww, these guys are one of my favorite bands. I saw them a few years ago. But it was just a small event, a festival. But suprisingly, there weren't alot of fans there, and it was near their home town of Burlington, Ontario. I live just minutes away from there. Hopefully I can catch them in a bigger concert in Toronto sometime soon.

i love this band. but honestly, the lead singer needs to do something else when theyre playing live. their shows get boring when scott just stands there it gets boring. but as far as how they sound live, theyre awesome
