MerceMe fans! Need your help!

[escaperoute]

Per request of a band member, I'm asking for a poll on the following. If a member of the band decided to do a seperate, solo (or side project) album, away from the band, how many people would be interested in hearing the music, or seeing some independant stuff put on a CD?

Note: This does not mean that the band is in trouble, or breaking up! Members have shown interest in solo projects for some time and have oportunities to produce such albums at this time.

Any thoughts and prayers are definately appreciated. Thanks!!!

well some people think that independant projects are not a good choice and other people think the oppisite, but look at dc talk, they are taking a break and making their solo projects but plan to stay together as a group.

i like MercyMe, i dont know them individually, i just like the group, but if any of the band members releases an album that sounds remotely close to what mercyme sounds now, then i guess i would consider it, but then again dont take my word for it, i still havent bought Mercyme's album, i just know they are they greatest people ever becuase of their talent, their collective talent.

honestly, it all depends on how it turns out.....as a group they are awesome, but individually they could be like the ingrediants of chocolate chip cookies by themselves (which is nasty), but together they are good...mmmmmm cookies.....hehe

same as hopeful actually....

I would definately give it a listen. I really like the music, style, lyrics and all.

 

[escaperoute]

Thanks for the input! The band certainly appreciates the messages, so keep 'em coming!

 

[escaperoute]

*bump at bands request*

Please! Any thoughts or input is appreciated

 

[escaperoute]

I'm sure some of you are tired of seeing this. But the band has asked if I could bump this up. If I don't get any responses after this time, I won't bump it anymore. I promise! hehe

I would pick it up and give it a listen.

I would definitely go for an independent album. I think if they're following God's calling and doing what He wants by going independent, then the music that they'll produce will be awesome. And I like awesome music of all genres...

 

[Lbiagm]

I would hope they would have solo and group albums out at the same time.

 

[tigerboy]

will the solo albums be about God, or just about "hey, it's a solo album form a mercy me guy!"?

why are they worried? i don't get it. I think the concern should be whether it glorifies God or not, not if it sells a million copies.

 

[Lbiagm]

it would probably be about God.

 

[tigerboy]

i just think if you do things to please people instead of God, what's the point?

 

[escaperoute]

It's a personal worship album. They're not worried about pleasing the crowd, just want to see how many people would like to see something different from members individually. If there's not much interest, then he'll probably wait til another time to produce the album.

 

[tigerboy]

you're still missing the point. why are they worried about interest? what could possibly be the motive behind asking those questions?
sales.
listen, if God has put it on their hearts to do solo albums, then they should do them, not check out whether people will buy them first.


"They're not worried about pleasing the crowd, just want to see how many people would like to see something different from members individually"

err...this sentence is completely contradictory. i would explain why, but it's so blindingly obvious that i'll just leave it in the air for serious thought.

 

[Lbiagm]

they would do it to Glorify God if they did solo albums.

 

[brettnolan]

If it's good, it's good and I'd listen.

 

[Lbiagm]

i agree brett
