I'm going to see them live in a week, and I'm just wondering who took Elias' place, cause most their songs they have a lead part and a rhythm that you can hear the differences of (Ex. Face Down).
um ok, i've never gone to any of their concerts, kinda trapped in this island, but anyway, from what i've heard, a guy named matt is the new guitarist. if you'd like to see a picture of him, you should check punkin's photos.
as i said, i'm not entirely sure, but i think i'm right????
yea the guy that is playing in place of elias is matt. i dont know wether or not he'll become a permanent part of the band or not or if they'll even look for a permenant replacement. its funny cuz matt looks like jack black
Yeah, I've got the skinny on this one as well. He does look like Jack Black, haha, same first impression :). But ACTUALLY, when Ronnie and Duke were first getting the band together, Matt was actually supposed to be the guitarist, but as it turned out he wanted to head into the recording industry. He's recently retired from recording, and I guess Elias' leaving the band was Matt's second chance at RJA and he took it. He's a really amazing guitarist, I'm sure his' slight southern rock style will integrate into their live show, I really hope he joins the band. :)
