Hey, DM. Did you see them on Jimmy Kimmel? One word can sum it up, and that word is "awesome". Flyleaf, obviously. I was never a Led Zeppelin fan anyway.

Psst...hey. When are you gonna have you know who on?

Problem with this question.
I'm not exactly sure who you're talking about.

I've been meaning to watch the video on YouTube. I guess I'll go scurry and see if I can find it real quick.

Wed Aug 02, 2006 6:48 pm

Led, because, well, I don't know who Flyleaf is, and since they're touring with Korn, I automatically hate them.

Wed Aug 02, 2006 7:25 pm

I have never heard of Flyleaf, and Led Zeppelin is still my favorite band of all time, so....Led Zeppelin it is!

Wed Aug 02, 2006 7:46 pm

Are you kidding me? *votes Led Zeppelin*

Wed Aug 02, 2006 7:49 pm

Why are we voting for Led Zeppelin? They lost with only 22%.

*votes for Led Zeppelin* I'm not a big fan of them but at least I know who they are. I've never heard of Flyleaf. o_o

Thu Aug 03, 2006 4:26 pm

Don't like Led because... well... they really only one song I could say that I like... but Flyleaf. WHAT THE HECK IS A FLYLEAF!?

*cough*

Don't know them.

(voted Led... for the sake of voting for one of them.)

DM-cha. I even know who she's talking about. Fox Force Five!

I'm voting Fyleaf, because they're definetly the underdogs, and I'm not a Led Zeppelin fan either (cousins of a feather flock together, I guess)

Thu Aug 03, 2006 4:37 pm

Fox Force...OH!
If it wasn't for "diversity" and "new artists", they would be on Versus every week. :P I'll have them when they get more famous. I mean, yeah they were on Warped Tour, they've done CD USA twice, Attack of the Show!, and Craig Ferguson, but there are still people going "Who's that?".

So, yeah. I'm waiting.

I know who they are!! I saw them when they opened for Breaking Benjamin last year, and I did like what I heard. I know two of their songs from the radio too.
SO anyhow, that's the reason I voted for them. And I always feel for the underdogs :P
