Re: Matchbox Twenty Fans ... be alert
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.
