Results for the March Poll:

Ok you all know what my question will be in the light of fresh Wallflowers news. What was your reaction and feelings toward the latest Wallflowers news? ?

From 3 people: Elation~ seraph999@gateway.net

I thought it was great to hear, and about time too, considering it has been four years. Hopefully this album will live up to expectations; I was a bit worried that it wouldn't be able to after waiting this long, but everything I've heard about it seems to be good. ~Ravenelle

Life.~ Maria N. Hauskins

Results for the November/December Poll:

What are you fellow wallflowers fans doing to keep you occupied or surviving till the album is released?

From 4 people:

We all agree that the more time they take, the better the album will be. Hopefully, the fan basis will still be strong and we can sell at least ten million copies. ~R. Padilla

I am living life, trying to get my college applications done. ~Kero

I just keep telling myself...they're working on it, it's gotta be perfect...it'll be out soon... and inflicting pain upon the people who think it's funny to tell me otherwise :) ~KMcCloud99@aol.com

Biting my fingernails. ~seraph999@gateway.net

Results for the September/October Poll:

Assuming that The Wallflowers had finished their album and had some free time on their hands and each band member had time to collaborate with or "help out" another artist(s), who would you want each of them to be with? (i.e. Mario with Smashmouth etc)

From 4 people:

Mario w/ Liz Phair cause she is the best ever! Jakob w/ Sheryl Crow because I love her too (and they've already performed together, so....Bruce Springsteen would be good too) Rami has been "helping out" everyone already, so whoever he wants to, I guess. Mike should help out, well, hmmm. I don't know, I just can't picture him with anyone else. And Greggers should help out Fiona Apple again, she rocks. -Annie

I guess the whole band should collaborate on a song with Bob Dylan; that would definetely ROCK. ~default@binghamton.edu

Okay, So Greg should help the smashing pumpkins since their bassist left, Rami-come to my school and play football hahahaj/k he should work with, uhh CARLOS SANTANA, uhhhhhh Mike and Jake- Uhhh The GooGoo Dolls, and Mario BLINk 182!! Yeah that works!!!!~Maria

I want Jakob collaborate with the chrsi guy that sings "she cant save me" ~VvDrusillavV@aol.com

Results for the August Poll:

What do you think would be a good theme/title for the Wallflowers upcoming album should be? (i.e. "Running A Little Late")

From 4 people:

Hmmmm, this is a tough one. Umm, "up and coming"? Monopoly? I don't know! ~Maria

We are so Sexy ~ Stefanie Gambino

"The Wallflowers Y2K" ~R. Padilla

"We like to make our fans wait a really, really, really, really, really, long time" ~ Lacey

Results so far for the July Poll:

On the new "No Boundies" album, do you think they will release "Used To Be Lucky," done by the Wallflowers? If so, do you think it can bring them back in the limelight again?

From 4 people so far:

I would hope it would bring them back into the limelight again. I think that the bigger and more popular artists like Pearl Jam, Alanis Morisette, etc., will rob all the attention from the Wallflowers!!!! *How dare they* : ) -Annie

I have one comment about that...no s*** sherlock of course it will ~ Maria

NO, I THINK THEY'RE SAVING ALL THE EXCITEMENT FOR THEIR NEW ALBUM - LACEY

No. I don't think they will release it, even through it is a good song. Even if they did I don't believe it would put them back in the limelight - Kero

The Official June Poll Results Are:

What do you think are major factors as to why the new album hasn't been released yet? Some examples sould be the record company, time, the band itself etc.

Total of 4:

1. Maybe they have been really really busy with other things
2. It is not exactly easy to write 14 all at once. Song writing is just basically writing poetry and unless you have some kind of inspiration its hard
3. Maybe the record company has also been busy. ~ Maria

I would guess that the label wanted to ride the waves of BDTH as long as possible so they were reluctant to let the guys put anything out right away. (Heidi)

The CD hasn't been released yet because the world is a cruel, cruel place. :) Actually, I think the band is trying very hard to get it right, and good art takes time. - Raven

Interscope waiting for the 4 year contract to get up and let the wallflowers go. Jakob is at a drug rehab. The other guys are playing with other groups. Can't decide if they should call themselves Jakob Dylan and the Wallflowers or Mario Calire, Rami Jaffee, Greg Richling, Micheal Ward and the Wallflower. j/k don't really know ~ Lor

The Official May Poll Results Are:

Would you like for other artists to collaborate in the Wallflowers upcoming album by either singing or playing an instrument?

Total of 6 people:

Yes I would love to see Joe Henry, Sheryl Crow, Phil Cody or any of the Sons of Intemperance collaborating with the Wallflowers on the next record. Jakob's songs are always very delicately arranged to allow just the right backup vocals or instrumental tracks within a song. I think any collaboration of great musicians is a good thing! ~~Heidi

It depends on what artist. Alanis Morisette (is that how you spell her name?) sang on Dave Matthews Band's last CD, and I don't listen to her music, so I just ignore that part. But if The Wallflowers had somebody cool who went with their sound, like Springsteen or Petty, that's great. -Raven

Hey that'd be cool. They should both sing and play and instument like have a band like Matchbox 20 2 come and collabrate thatwould be awesome ~Maria

No, because then it wouldn't be the Wallflowers as a whole band...there would be someone else in there!! All I wanna hear is Mario, Jakob, Rami, Greg, and Mike!! Whoo hoo! ~Honeybee

As much as I do love this sort of thing, I'd have to say no this time. I'd really like to see a vocally and instrumentally "pure Wallflowers" record since BDTH had so many guests. What would be really cool is if another songer/songrwriter could eventually produce them! ~Kimbo

Sure why not? It didn't hurt them on BDTH :oP ~ Lori

I think they should collaborate with the Counting Crows, the whole band, not just Adam Duritz. Just for kicks I think it would sound neat because they have the same type of sound. And I would like to say: RELEASE THE NEXT CD ALREADY, BEFORE I GO INSANE!!! ~Cherie Blue

The Official April Poll Results Are:

Total of 6 people:

Supposing that The Wallflowers wanted to add an additional person to the group, what kind of instrument would you like him or her to play? Like do you want some other different instrument introduced to the group for example the saxophone or whatever??

At the risk of conjuring up images of Bob, I'd say a harmonica. I would want the person playing it to be John Popper of Blues Traveler!! His harmonica really would mesh well with the rest of the guys' instruments, and he does great backup vocals for Jakob. ~Heidi

They can add me!! I play the flute... j/k but they should add a flautist. ~Maria

I believe that five is a perfect number for them. But if they want to add someone, then I'm all for a girl or a guy (depending on who they find) with a violin. I think the strings would be the best way to accent the sounds they already have. But then again, I'm not a musician. ~Raven

I think they need a harmonica or tambourine...something odd like that...~Annie

I wouldn't want them to add anyone *BUT* I would love it if someone took up the harmonica! I don't think Jakob could because he would get too much flack (i.e> too much like Bob) so I'd have to go with Greg! Not that he isn't busy with bass and all....gggg ~Kris

I don't think that adding another person would be a good idea. Another person in the band would imply a new sound, and I don't think that's a good idea, although it has been said that there is a new sound in the next album. Besides, a new member would imply dividing the profits into six instead of five, and I don't think that Jakob, or any of the guys, want that to happen. Don't you think???... ~R. Padilla

The Official March Poll Results Are:

Total of 6 people:

Would you like to see any of the guys or all of the Wallflowers appear in a movie or show?

Oh yes! I'd love to see them all get the acting bug but I don't think it'll happen soon. I nice western with gunslinging and fair-maiden saving will do nicely! Title? "5" ~Kimbo

I don't know. Jakob turned down a role in Face Off and I kinda doubt he would take a role. But, If they were maybe comedy acting I might, so I don't know, my experince watching musicians act is limited to Courtney Love, and Garth Brooks on "Saturday Night Live" so I don't know. Maria--The coolest person in the world ~Bill Hauskins (Sorry I didn't remember your name and you didn't include it!!)

I'd like to see the entire band together in a comedy, playing themselves. I'm talking about a cameo that comes from out of nowhere and disappears in a few minutes. I wouldn't want them to have to really act. That's not their job. ~Raven

No, I think that would be dumb. They are musicians not actors. If they were to do a movie it would have to be a documentary. ~kero

I don't see any of The Wallflowers doing movies. They are great in the music business and I don't see any need for a movie of any type. I have the convinction that whenver an artist does a movie, he/she goes down the tube. ~default@binghamton.edu

I can see all of them in two movies. A Tarantino flick as a group of guys with a I know this isn't good, but their my friends attitude and MY MOVIE. HEART OF GOLD ~Weezy

The Official February Poll Results Are:

Total of 11 people:

According to the Rolling Stone insight about The Wallflowers upcoming album, there have been changes in the Wallflowers music. Do you think this is a good or a bad thing?

Let's all hope and pray it's a good thing! I have faith that the guys know what they are doing and haven't been persuaded by the "powers that be" to change for anybody but themselves. We the fans will (at least the obsessed ones) will stick by them through 1 record or 4 million of them! As long as it's Jakob's words..I can relate ;) ~Kimbo

I think that the change will be a good thing. After all there is a pretty big difference between TW and BDTH, but I like them both very much. That is what I have to say about that!~Jess

Change is good. Besides, I'd still be Wallflowers music. It'll still be good. It'd still Be Wallflowers~*Maria*~

It think it is good things. I don't want them doing the same album over and over. ~tzayas@mpinet.net

Well, I think anything by The Wallflowers will have to be good. I just can't wait to hear the new cd. ~Lacey

I'm trying to stay 100% optimistic but... I got the tinest bit of fear that the new album might not exactlly live up to the first two(or won't be ehh..I think the word's Wallflowerish enough?). LET'S HOPE THAT AIN"T TRUE!!!!!! ~jrhoffa@earthlink.net

I'll admit, I am a little wary of a "change," since I loved the way Bringing Down the Horse was, but The Wallflowers are all great musicians whom I trust to grow and develop and only get better. ~Raven

I think that the evolution of the band itself has greatly affected the sound of the band, and any further change would be a result of growth and the collaboration of the finest musicians I know!! So that's a definite YES!!! :) ~Heidi

I think that it is a great thing. One of the things that make musicians artists is the fact that they are ever-expanding and changing they're styles and "song structures". Everything is forever changing, and with change comes fresh, new insights and aspects. ~Eva J

I think it's a good thing, like Jake said, evolving isn't just jumping from sound to sound or style to style or whatever...Really I have no idea what it will sound like, but I'm picturing more along the lines of Radiohead or something "harder" than the 2nd album but not as "off-the-cuff" as the first one was. LOL If Jake's hairdo on Buzzworthy has anything to do with it, maybe they're going for the 70's punk style J/K :) ~Annika

I think the new album, like BDTH with respect to The Wallflowers, will be a lot different. My belief, and hope, is that the new album is a combination of the previous two. I have the feeling they are going to avoid "real" rock songs like "The Difference" and "God Don't Make Lonely Girls," although I don't know if that is a good idea. Anyway, I think they are going to go with something like "Asleep At The Wheel" off the first album. I think they will go with more instrumentat (guitar, that is), for the next album. However different the next album may be, I am not worried, for I know that whatever THE WALLFLOWERS make is sure to please us, the true fans. I personally plan to buy it on the first release day, be it whatever it may be......... ~R. Padilla

The Official January Poll Results Are:

Total of 8 people:

Would you like to see Mike sing a song or two on the upcoming album?

If a song should be written in which Mike's voice would work, then I say go for it. I love ALL The Wallflowers, so if they're all there in some capacity, no matter what it is, then I'm happy. ~Raven

I don't know maybe. ~Maria

Yes because he deserves it ~SDerm585@aol.com

I WOULDN'T MIND I WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE TO SING OUT OF THE BAND. ~KATIE JAYME

I think Mike is awesome, so, sure let him sing a song or two. The only downside is we won't get to here Jake's sexy voice as much, but I can try to live w/ that. ~Lacey

I would like Mike to sing in all the songs!!!!!!!!!! MIKEY RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHats the Wallflowers without a little Mikey put into it? Hehe,sorry. But thats my opinion,hehe :) ~Veronica

it would be nice cause Mike doesn't really sing a lot.. but he's an awesome guitarist! but it'd be kinda werid change to get used to from Jake's deep voice to Mikes, but cool to happen. wouldn't they kinda sound like the Goo Goo Dolls then?? ~Julie

Yes! I think it would help prove to everyone that they are a GROUP and not just "Jakob and the boys". I have only heard Mike's backup singing and small solo during "Won't Get Fooled Again", but I liked what I heard. ~Kris

Thanks for the responses guys!! :)
