Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

hope he doesnt just dissapear!

I refuse to give up hope on Sinners and Saints and Blood For Blood.

Hopefully the Blood for Blood legacy doesn't get dragged through the mud any further...whats next...the B4B synth pop era?

It means he hated the last few Blood For Blood releases.

RAMALLAH and BLOOD FOR BLOOD both rule for different reasons. I hope one of those bands starting playing out soon…

Was never really into ramallah myself, always thought there was a nu metal element to it. But its always a shame to see bands breaking up

A one man band can't break up! You guys know that none of the dudes in the touring Ramallah played on the records, right? Rob did all that shit by
himself with a session drummer. Even the other names listed inside the cd are fake.
Rob's doing great. 11 months clean and sober. I lent him an acoustic guitar in June and he has written about 30 songs on it. He's talking about going
it alone for a record. No band. Elliott Smith style with haunting songs and melodies. Acoustic/electric guitar..... piano... vocals.... percussion
that he can play himself. That idea might sound strange to fans of his old stuff but it will be awesome because he can really play whatever he wants
and it always goes through the Rob Lind filter. It never sounds like "hardcore", "rock n' roll" or "nu metal". It always sounds like Rob Lind playing
that kind of stuff. If there is anyone out there that could possibly pick up where dudes like John Lennon and Elliott Smith left off then its Rob.
We'll see what unfolds. Music is pretty much the last of his priorities these days.

There are definitely some nu metal elements to it. A lot of people say that. I don't think he necessarily set out to do that but that sort of
comparison is hard to avoid when you bring a keyboard into it like he did.

I thought one of the last updates he did about BFB & Ramallah new stuff he also mentioned back then wanting to do something solo & acoustic. I hope
he does it, it'll sound awesome for sure. Glad everything is going well.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I understand the Nu Metal comparison, but when I listen to RAMALLAH all I hear is pure anger, frustration, & rage.

That is great to hear! I hope the best for him and hope he can stay clean this time. I know what it's like having a heroin addicted brother, but
mine likes to hop from jail, rehab, and the living in the streets.
Is he still working on a book? I am looking forward to a book by him BADLY. I can only imagine what images he can paint with a whole ook to work
with rather than a 3 minute song.
Like I said, I wish him the best and also... I knew he was down right now, but I know he's not out. He'll be back when the time is right for him and
thats how he needs to handle it.

You can't rush that shit. The "scene" isn't going anywhere, it'll be ready for him when he's ready.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Glad to hear he's doing well. I've enjoyed all the material with his name credited to it. The dude's got a natural talent and an honesty about it that
stands out these days. I'm looking forward to hearing whatever he comes up with. I'm sure I'll dig it.

Thats awesome to hear. Really looking forward to his acoustic stuff. I knew Rob did all the Ramallah stuff on his own. Poor choice of wording on my
part.
