We have been spending time on the audio as well - not correcting errors, and inserting new tracks to make it sound better - rather, we are taking the opposite stance - making it sound more real, letting everyone feel like they were at the concerts that they are watching - pretty much enhancing the mistakes, improvs, everything, ha ha ha. I guess some bands are insecure about themselves, and have to redo audio cause they want everyone to think that they are perfect. To me, playing live is not perfect, it is about a feeling, a vibe, a passion...... Anyway, we are making this DVD seem more like a movie - a few songs, then some video of us showing and explaining the history of the band. I think that makes it flow a lot better and keeps it interesting. Dino, I couldn't agree with you more, I love watching raw because it is just that and listening to the cd with the audience participation is the best. I have MCLH, but honestly I haven't listened to it in ages because I can't get the raw cd out of my player. Thank you so much for putting your all into making this dvd the best.  Your fans can't wait! |

************DINO POSTED THIS IN THE DIARY OVER ON LOVEHAMMERS.COM****************February 07, 2007 ARF ARF ARF No, my little bunnies, do not worry. I have not turned into a rabid dog! I have however experienced something that I would like to share, and have had an opportunity to spend a weekend with some really amazing people and an amazing organization. Wow, that was a long sentence - I am guess a minimum of 3 gramatical errors. Ok, so we were asked to supply some rock to the annual event ARF (Tony LaRussa's Animal Rescue Foundation) puts on in Walnut Creek, CA. We loved the idea, the cause, and as fans of music, were anxious to be a part of an event with such great musicians such as Tesla, Carlos Santana, Journey, and Peter Wolf, and the list goes on..... We have played thousands of shows, and hundreds of huge festivals since I was 14, and I can honestly say this was one of the best run events I have ever been a part of. The amazing thing is that the whole weekend was run with volunteers. I guess it goes to show you that Tony LaRussa truly is a great coach and a great leader in all aspects of his life..... Tony, Mrs. Larussa (sorry ELAINE), and his two beautiful daughters have created something very special at ARF, and have surrounded themselves with people that are very passionate and hard working..... I had a great time playing the show, and it was really cool to be able to talk to some of the guys from Journey. Neil Schon is probably one of the greatest guitar players to ever walk the Earth, and who would have known Jonathon was from Chicago - what a cool guy. They were really great to talk to and had some cool stories. These guys are so talented, waqtching them play, then seeing the Allstar Jam was remarkable. Seeing Dennis Chambers drum in person was one of the most incredible sights I have ever seen - UNREAL! Seeing him drum with one of the greatest percussionists in the world is truly amazing. I am going to sound like a total sissy for this next comment, but oh well. Watching Tesla do an acoustic set was for me something I will never forget. I was sitting there in person watching the band that recorded 5 Man Acoustic Jam - something I never had a chance to see when I was a young lad. I honestly had tears in my eyes watching this. We had a chance to play with Tesla earlier in the year, so it was great to talk to them as well and hang a bit. Hopefully we'll be able to do some shows with them this Spring or Summer - great guys and a great band that we can really learn a lot from. Other than the events, we had a chance to explore San Fran - still one of my favorite cities, and finally ate at a restaurant called Joe Dimagios. That night we all ate the best steak we had ever eaten........... Driving Blind - well, it looks like you guys are alwqys one step ahead of us. We were waiting for the song to be complete before we told you about it, but since you super sluethes already found it, here is the link: www.acoustic-chicago.com/We contributed the song for a project called Acoustic Chicago. It features some great artists all homegrown Chicagoans. Please check it out and support it when it comes out. There will be a song and video available.... Ok, well I am going back to writing songs - who knows when/where you will find another one........... Chances are, one of you will find it before we post it - lol....... PS. keep spreading the word, posters, fliers, internet - keep getting the word out. We are trying to use MySpace more, but let's find the net MySpace or YouTube...... ROCK! dK Posted by dinokourelis at 01:28 PM

Dino posted in the diary at .comAugust 20, 2007 sup Hey dudes! It has been awhile since I wrote. I think my main problem is having oo many places to write, I sort of lose track of them. I have written a bit on MySpace, so check that out if you want.... hmmmmm, what can i talk about. Oh, I know. I was pretty upset with music and bands in general. I am always searching for new music and bands, but was having trouble finding anything that I really liked. Seems like most albums out there pretty much suck - maybe one or two decent tunes on an album and the rest just shit. Buckcherry's album is pretty solid, but I can't think of another album which has at least 4 songs that I like - pretty sad. It seemed like in the past albums had the radio hits that everone liked - 2 or 3, and then another 2 or 3 that you liked personally, or fans loved at the shows that could never be singles, but still rad songs - cult type songs if you will..... Sooooo, I then began going to live shows to see if maybe it wasn't translating onto the cds - again, I fell short of finding anyone that I really enjoyed, or a concert that I didn't want to leave after like 2 songs. I did see The Police, who I have never really liked, but thought they wer unbelievable - to play Wrigley Field with NO backing tracks (just 3 instruments) is truly amazing. I don't think I have seen a band in the past 5-10 years that didn't hav backing tracks, so to see these guys pull it off and sound GREAT was amazing. The opening band was really cool too - FictionPlane. I actually bought their cd that night. I did like them live better though..... Oh, yeah I better go back and explain something - that is right my little kiddies, at least 90% of the bands you see are playing with backing tracks - some more than others, but most are. So I am at this all time low as far as believing in music and bands, etc when a miracle happens. I am at Lollapolooza and I see this little band called Pearl Jam come on stage. Last time I saw them, I vowed never to see them or support them again. I thought that they didn't care anymore and were going through the motions, which is not fair for all the fans that have paid so much money over the years to support them, and buy tix to their shows. I did buy their latest album though, and thought it was their best in years. Anyway, seeing these guys on stage, rockin out like it was 1994 was an inspiration and one of the greatest shows I have ever been to. They were into it, they cared, they mixed new, old, and had great crowd interaction - it was just a great show. They didn't play perfect, or sound like their record, they sounded like PJ live, which is really really cool (another band with no backing tracks) They basically saved my rock and roll soul - hey, that is a great song title - SEE WHAT I MEAN - new inspiration - LOL! Seeing PJ was exactly what I needed to get my creative juices flowing again. ohhhhh, wait - Nikki Sixx has that new side project out for his book Heroin Diaries, and the first song is really cool too! They have a MySpace page out and you can hear it and see the video..... what else.... we are FINALLY almost done with Driving Blind. We decided to really challenge ourselves and throw in an orchestra to the mix. We will be recording it with the orchestra on Wednesday - can't wait!!!!!! I think you can pre-order the Acoustic Chicago cd now at stonecutter records or acoustic chicago.com - we will have more info on that as well..... sorry there is no real flow or organization to this blog, just thoughts spit out on the screen, but I hope you can get the jist of it. OOOPS, ALMOST FORGOT!!!! I want everyone to get a new shirt that we have that says Make Rock Not War on it. Get it and let's see if we can make a differece - get it, and tell everyone you know to get it. If the whole world is wearing one, maybe people will stat to listen..... check it out at www.lhstore.comL8, dK
