Before Load-In

who really cares if they go mainstream or not? they are bound to grow in popularity given they are talented and write quality songs. as long as they continue to create sincere music they will always have me as a fan. sure, as their fanbase grows it will get continuously harder to get front row for their shows, which is my favorite place to be in the world...but if they were still playing places like the orange peel in a couple years it wouldn't be right

I may be the only one that feels this way, but to me it doesn't matter who else listens to O.A.R. As long as they are still making music and are popular enough to keep going as a band, it shouldn't matter if everyone in the world had O.A.R. in their c.d. player or if you were the only one, as long as the band is still going and you personally could enjoy the music.

The other thing with making it big, not say that this exact senario will happing to O.A.R., but a lot of bands will make there way to a different type of music to satisfy the majority of people out there after they make it big, losing their original fans. If the band makes it big then that is great for them, but i don't see how it makes a direct impact a fan.

No matter what happens, best of luck to the band, i hope to be hearing the music for a long time, cause that is what its all about the music.

I don't care of my Grandma listens to O.A.R. so long as she buys their cd's and supports the band.

my mom was so happy when I played some beatles covers for her...she was very surprised that "one of my bands" would play that...

I wish the world was run by love, and absolutely nothing more...

oar is going "mainsteam" more than likely bc they are a bunch of "pop" musicians that sound like sissy's when they play. they pop their collars up and play crap ass music that is so repetitive it's sickining. Sounds all the same. maybe if they were cool and had some talent w/ playing their instuments and jammed out they would not be so fruity. Anyways this bands appeals to that dudes grandma! yeah thats cool. I bet oar fans are a majority of 14 yr old girls and homo guys that know and sing every single word to every song when they go to a oar concert. plus the ONLY decent sound in any of their songs is the sax. Too bad the sax player isn't 1/4 as talented as LeRoi Moore. If he was the band might be worth 2 craps! am i right? i think so

Leroi is a terrible horn player. His repertoire consists of the same poorly composed riffs reused over and over again. I have never heared a professional horn player ever talk good about Leroi. All they say is how bad he stinks and how lucky he was to catch on with Dave.

Jerry is fundamentally a better sax player and is asked to fill a lot more space than Leroi because Jerry's band is not as good and depends on him to get through some of those seemingly endless jams that OAR embarks upon.

you must be one stupid idiot that doesn't know good music when he/she hears it if you think moore sucks! at least he can play improv and more than 5-6 notes.

I'll say it again, OAR already are a mainstream band. They are growing as musicians and writing better songs, hence the shows are getting bigger and bigger and more elaborate. This is the same conversation with everyone band...I hope they dont sell out and go mainstream....yuck. just look at the shows and the seas of drunken teens screaming for that one song. good for them, i hope they sell out....every seat, every night.

Every CD is supposed to be "the next big one," but unfortunetly the O.A.R. crowd is young and that leads to a more technical crowd...hence people ripping their music and not really supporting the band....and not anyone here.
