How did you know when you "made it"? What was it that defined that moment? The 1st time you heard your song on the radio? That first really bg show? Record deal? When did it dawn on you that people knew who you were before your introduced yourself? Is it strange walking into a room or a bar just to hang and everyone knows your name and has certain preconcieved notions of you are? Is it nice to run across people who have no idea who you are or what you do?

Nice ones!

I thought long and hard on those. The guys should feel special I don't think often. It hurts. I think my hampster is getting old and his wheel needs some iol because when I think smoke comes out of my ears. Little wd-40 might get the rust off. lol

hahahahaha dinky.... you haven't been using your brain for awhile?

-jms-

Brain is one vacation most of the time only used in case of emergency.
I have a problem with just asking one question. I cannot do it. I try but then 50 other questions come to mind. I guess I am an inquisitive individual.

How does it feel when you go on stage and everyone is screaming at the top of there lungs for you? That would probably have to be one of the craziest feelings in the world. And about that brain, you should cut that vacation short dinky!

hampster is in Hawaii. I understand it's a 14 hour flight, so it'll be atleast tomarrow before I can remove the Break Only Incase of Emergeny glass around my head.
Great question Foo. I would pee my pants. I remeber my first experiance being alone on stage in front of like 5000 people at this convention I went to and I had to give a speech, which omg, I actually made it through and then I got off the stage and this really nice guy, who would have been much nicer had he let me know before my speech, told me my dress was tucked into the back of my panty hose. Haven't made any public speaking engagements since. Even worse as I was walking back to my table as if I wasn't humiliated enough, I relized I had toilet paper stuck to my shoe. I get nervous and I have to pee, so I peed first and tucked my dress into my panty hose, gave a speech with my ass showing and toilet paper stuck to my shoe.

Good questions, babe! Dinky1, if you don't hear from da boys about your questions, you may wanna try asking Jasin on his MySpace site, or Zach on his. Title the question for both/either of them, 'Ask Freddie'. Jasin always responds to my 'Ask Freddie' questions. Of course, you may get a response like 'Who the fuck knows?' or 'Shit, I just go for it.', but he'll still answer.

lol, so who the fuck is Freddie? Nah, like my questions are so important. Please. Sure if they got answered I would be livn la vida loca but really now, there are more important things in life than answering questions that you have probably answered about 100 times. See, that's my thing. I always try to come up with ones they haven't been asked so I kinda get a real answer. How many times can you answer the same question without giving either the same answer or an obsurd answer because you have been asked sooooooo damn many times. It's like the eternal "what's for dinner" question, the first four hundred times you may answer correctly with details such as blacken chicken and red beans and rice, but sooner or later it goes to "food", then "boiled garbage" then my favorite answer, "whatever the fuck I feel like cooking".
Guess what I am saying is dig deep people, because other wise sooner or later it all becomes "whatever the fuck I feel like cookin"

Freddie is Jasin's guitar tech. Couple months ago, Jasin and Zach sent a MySpace blog telling us that if we had Shinedown-related questions to send either one of them an email with the question and put 'Ask Freddie' in the title. I dunno why 'Ask Freddie', I don't ask, I just obey.
So, sucks, gal, ask him. He won't bite you...ok, well, you'd probably like it if he did, but he ain't bit me yet..wait, wait, I'm all of the sudden feeling cheated; dude, why you ain't bit me yet? Hahaha, ok that was fucked up.
Seriously, Jasin and Zach are just guitar players, they likes it when you show an interest in their craft. Please, though, y'all don't send them any stupid comments, like 'your awesome', or 'your so hot', or questions like, 'will you marry me?' 'will you let me suck your...?', they don't have time for bullshit. Bullshit is expressed here, intelligent music-related questions go to Freddie. Remember, it's about the music, not the fuckin'.
