Matchbox Twenty Fans ... be alert

It depends on the artist if his/her solo album is going to be good.

I'm pretty sure that Gwen Stefani isn't so keen on her solo career anymore, because I've heard that her solo album isn't that hot.

..And in terms of J-rock, after Gackt left Malice Mizer, he got enormous fan backing. He's had four or five albums out in Japan now.

A band must stick together through thick and thin. Loyalty to the team and friendship must always be placed before personal gain.

I don't mind if he comes up with a solo album... You can never get too much of that voice

What I hate to think is that a band member having a solo album somehow signifies the breaking up of a band...

The poll doesn't make sense. Switch Yes and No to Good and Bad.

I don't like Matchbox Twenty, so I don't particularly care for this situation, but I'll comment on the solo artist aspect.

I think it's a great thing when artist's want to express themselves through solo projects. It allows them to work freely without interference and distractions from other band members, etc. Usually solo projects are what that person really invisions being their true sound, even if they do write the songs for the band that they are in. I know first hand that the three main song writers in the Spinto Band all have solo projects and what they do on their own is absolutely incredible. I don't think they could survive within the band if they didn't do their own stuff on the side. In fact, the last 5 or 6 Spinto Band songs we recorded started as solo songs (as did most of them) for the other guys in the band.

Sorry... I meant to put the question as "Solo projects... are they good? "

But you'll just have to deal with it because I can't change it.
