Mike, I was thrilled to see that you used S Success too. I've purchased their products and am a subscriber to their online video series. I heard on the forum that if we are lucky we might get a session with you and Brett M for an online episode???
Are you guys coming out to the SF Bay or Sacramento, CA area anytime soon?
May the Lord always safeguard your journeys and guide you guys always. Blessings to you and your loved ones.

After seeing a couple of your interview videos online it seems like you guys are going through similar issues just like Stryper went through during the 80's. I read and hear people questioning why you tour with the bands you do, play in the venues you play, how can you possibly be Christians?, etc....
I remember once hearing Robert Sweet (Drummer for Stryper) answering it the following way. Paraphrasing here ..."God has called us to be a light in a dark place and Rock & Roll is a dark place. And the light of God shines even brighter in a dark place."
In other words, God called on them to reach others and not the choir just as he's done with you. I see many parallels between Stryper & RED.
How have you guys been dealing with the judgements placed upon you by some? Has that it been difficult thus far?
Hey, about a month ago, you guys were scheduled to play in Newburgh, NY at the new Orange County Choppers building and be recorded on American Chopper for there new bike unveil. i was wondering when the next time you'll be playing there. thanks. cant wait for the new album.
Dear RED, My friends little sister named Haley... Is one of yall's biggest fans. She just getting over having cancer about 5 months ago, the lord blessed her situation. And she really is the one that inspired me to start listening to yalls awesome songs. My friend is trying to find a way for her to maybe meet yall or maybe get an autograph from yall some how before her birthday comes up on March 30th..?? He says he looked everywhere and on different sites. And I felt that God was pushing me to give it a try, and so if this happens to get to yall or maybe some miracle yall actually do read this then I know it will be God. And if not the Lords still good anyway... That yall for making such amazing tracks. Give a big shout out to J.C. in yalls Next Third Album in a future song...
I can't believe I missed you last year!!!!!! Argh!!!! But then again, I didn't even know who you guys were.
I first heard your song "Breathe Into Me" when I was watching a video on youtube, called "Coast Guard Tribute - 'Breathe Inot Me'". I instantly fell in love with that song, and i soon bought your CD; but the bad thing about this was, it was in January of 2009. I looked on the SWC website today - February 1, 2009- and saw that you guys aren't coming to Monterey...Ahhh!!!!!!! PLEASE come to Monterey this year, Red; I really want to see you in concert. PLEASE!!!!!
Not only are you my favorite band, but you have also brought me closer to God. Your song "Pieces" really did it for me, so thank you for writing that song, and all my other favorites - which is like the whole CD! I am really looking forward to getting your new one.
PLEASE come to Monterey!!!!! =D
Thank for your time, and God bless you all!!!!!

Up until last year on Valentine's Day (Feb 14, 2008), my favourite band was Linkin Park. I am happy to say that my friend Patrick told me, "you gotta listen to this band." He played "Already Over" on YouTube for me and I was instantly hooked on you guys! I listened to it like 20 times in total that night. My sister states "Breathe Into Me" is her favourite song. I really can't choose my favourite song because I think every song on End of Silence is amazing.
I was curious though, do you guys ever come to Ontario, Canada? I am hoping to see you in concert and if you would do it in Ontario, it'd make it so much easier. If not, I will have to go outside my province and/or perhaps country. I live in Windsor.
I just talked to Hayden a couple of days ago and he said that his shoulder has completely healed and he is drumming again. He said he is looking for a new gig and is considering contacting Red about being part of the band again. :)
