What we love about the web is the opportunity to share our thoughts and passions with others. But we also like to hear what others think so we can exchange ideas.

On this page, we'll share some of the comments we have received in our Guestbook and via e-mail. In some cases, we may also respond to the comments. Please get in touch!  Send us an email at Malachi-rock@hotmail.com about any of our post.  If you know our AIM addresses, that works too, but we won't post those b/c we want to semi limit the hate mail.  Thanks.

Journal for 1/8/05- Sup all you Malachi fans, or people who accidentally came to the site.  We are hard at work on new material, and we have what we think is our most rock awesome song to date.  We are recording a week from today, and we are gearing up for a bunch of performances.  We also got the new sound and lighting systems in this week, so we are going to break some glass and make you see some tripped out colors when we play.  As Chris Fulton would say, we are gonna rock so hard, you just might die, lol.  Especially with 2 18's, 2 15's, like 10 8's, 4 amps, and 2 half stacks.  We had better rock at least, with all of that equipment.  We also still have some stuff to add to the website, which will be quality, I assure you.  I leave you with the moral of the day: It’s a bad idea to hit street signs with your car.  Good one Matt.  L8r- Brian

Journal 1/08/05 - Today was a fun filled day of excitement. Not really but I did have something’s to look forward to like pizza, and getting this site up. And our 5th original yet to be named is getting its ruff edges smoothed out so we can record it for next Saturday. I had a great conversation with Alex a friend from school (one I am trying to get to be a Malachi-groupie...lol jk) about how parents can suck when it comes to relationships. But I will put my disclaimer in **they don't always suck**. But that gets me to thinking about our concert on Feb 4th in the ATTIC. If you need directions e-mail me at matrix_y2045@hotmail.com or you can catch me on instant messenger. Well I’m out I hope you like the site. Peace...

Journal #3 1/9/05- sups everyone. Today was a good day the band got to get together and practice. It was well needed b/c it kind of felt like forever. But Good news our final touches on our 5th original (yet to be named) done. And by far to date the best song we've ever written. If we stay on this pace sooner or later we're going to get signed or....run out of creativity. Naw but we'll rock hard, rock so hard till we die. Anyways school is tomorrow which kind of sucks but the rock n roll in me will never die or be tamed by a 4wall space and I will just have to dream of 10,000 fans cheering us on and my number one fan sitting in the front row. Well that might be kind of far off but we'll stay on the grind, practice write and get better.

Love God, and rock n' roll peace.

Journal #4 01/11/05- Hey everyone, after about 2 and a half hours of work, the site has been updated. Although frustrating at times it feels really good to get it update. There are new pictures of the band members and our new equipment that we'll be using. Also pictures of the Attic went up and more are to come. The fan page is growing bigger by the day...lol. We do this for you guys all the Malachi fans and haters. Joy and pain, sunshine and rain. If you've got any comments or questions feel free to send it to us at the bottom of the page. We love what we do and the God we serve, I hope everyone will do the same. I'm out for tonight. Love God, And Rock n' Roll peace.

Journal 5 1/12/05 - I just got done reading the visitor comments and my shout out goes to two people. For the person who bought our CD and loves it we love you to. Thanks for letting us know and it just pushes us on and makes us want to do more and to Callie thanks sunshine for looking at the site and responding. Today was a breakthrough day. We got to use all of the equipment (18's 15's and 8's) and oh man it was awesome. Also the lighting was hooked up today and at practice we went crazy with excitement about with all the new things we had to play with. Today has been a great day so keep the comments rolling. And even to the hate mail, it's all good we love you to. Well I got to go Love God and Rock n' Roll. Peace.

Journal # 6 1/15/05- Wow today’s been crazy. If you've been keeping up with our dates you would know we recorded today and were it ever a long day. Here's a time line. 6:00 Dover wakes up. 6:30 Dover calls Jarrell from Jarrell’s drive way, and Jarrell wakes up, and Dover comes in. 6:15 matt wakes up. 6:40 matt leaves his house for church. 6:45 Jarrell and Dover eat at b-ville and at 7 o’clock arrive at church. Matt Dover and Jarrell enter the church at 7:00 and de-arm the buildings. Setup up begins for drums and recording at 8 until 12. YES ONLY DRUMS FOR 4 HOURS. lol then Blaire rerecords falling away and leaves by 12:45ish. 2pm we still haven’t eaten and chase lays down the most ROCK AWESOME HARMONIES EVER to complete me. He went higher than anyone in the room thought he could. But he knew he could. Around 3 Jarrell lays down guitar for about an hour to break free and go away. During this time he is thankful his friend Matt got him food b/c they had not had lunch till about 3:30. Then Zach lays down his line (OH YEAH CAROLINA LOST AROUND 3:30 TOO) for break free. Then at about 5:15 or so chase lays down both tracks flawless, the first time for break free and go away. But before breaking down we had a scream session on the mic (which happened to cost only 1500$) between Dover chase and Zach. Then after completely breaking down and cleaning up we didn't get out until around 7. So yeah a full 12 hour day. So then we retreated to the ATTIC to play some pool and watch the punisher on the wide screen and surround sound system with the 18teens. What an awesome day. Look for our to newest originals to come out in about 2weeks. (a lot of editing has to go into it) So right now it's time to give props.

 

**Benjamin ~ Man you believed in us and even carried us at times. Put up with our craziness and supported us. And you do this out of the Goodness of your heart and we just want to thank you for all that you do for Malachi.

**Jeff and Ted ~ thank you for dealing with us and allowing us to use the church to record. We are very grateful for the space.

**Chase ~ you have such an awesome voice man. Flawless 5-5 when it comes to recording.

Blaire ~ you got courage to come in and sing the way you do. You have a strong voice that the worlds got to hear and i know sometimes you don't want too but it just sounds too good to keep it to yourself.

Matt ~ among all you give the most. Sometimes not always in you’re playing but your care and dedication to the band and love of music. Through and through your a good man, who gave up your time today. I salute u for that.

Dover ~ the sickest drummer I know. 4hours is a long time but when it comes down to you laying down a track in less than 30mins it was worth all the setup and EQs.

Zach ~ you provide excitement and edge to the band. Your wisdom of music and your great ear helped out a lot of people today. Being a hair flat doesn't mean much to a lot of people but the people who do hear that it's not it's all the more better.

Brian ~ don't have to much fun at the beach. Come back in one piece so you can record your awesome bass lines.

 

Today was an awesome day and I really enjoyed every part. Even the early wake up call by Dover. The 5song cd will come at you in the month of February and trust me if you kind of liked Malachi before and wasn't sure these two next songs will convince you. I've got to go but thanks to all who took the time to read this.

Love God, and Rock n' Roll.

Journal #7 1/26/05 - WOW we just wrote the most awesome song ever. I have never been so excited to be apart of this group. Chase Pickett dap again man. You get better and better every single time and if you keep this up we're going to have an awesome CD. On my own is the newest original to the collection. Matt, killer line man. Oh man you hit gold on that one. Dover you could steal it its pretty awesome and fits perfectly but your sick enough to come up with something else. (Maybe we can use it a few times) lol. Brian you jumped in fast and I know that everything is going to be chill. Blaire warm up them vocals it's that time again to sing another one. And to Zach keep rocking hard on that song man it's great. Well I got to go but be on the look out for 2new originals in the upcoming weeks and hopefully on my own soon.

Love God, and Rock n roll...

Journal 8 2/12/05 - Sup everyone. Yesterday's concert was awesome. It rocked way hard and we had a lot of fun. A huge Shout out to everyone who came. We had about 60 plus people come and I think they all had a great time. No one realizes how awesome the Attic until they actually come. But I hope our concert will bring more people, not only to come see us but to bring more people to our church. There were all types of people from all different schools but it was awesome that everyone came to see us and support us. Be on the look out for another concert in March maybe. We'll be playing in a lock in at our church sometime soon too. As an awesome band named audio adrenaline said "said goodnight to, all the friends who, rocked and rolled beside..." Love God, and Rock n' Roll

May 5 05 - Sup everyone sorry about not updating this in a while but Malachi is doing great. Last Saturday we had the Northern battle of the bands and it awesome. There were 6 bands in competition and Malachi won. We had such a great time we want to host our own maybe towards the end of the summer. We also met another rock awesome band call The Art of Innocence and they will open up for us on the 13th. Speaking of the 13...

As you have seen all over the web site, Malachi has a concert on the 13th of May. It's going to be an awesome concert we’re going to play All of the Malachi originals but also some creed, incubus, and oasis. I know this concert is going to be awesome so be on the look out for the flyer and if we don't see you the flyer is on the front page.

 

May 14th 2005 ~ Wow yesterday was awesome fun. A little drama filled but the day of the concert always turns out like that. But we had a huge turn out of people and hopefully NEW Malachi fans. I just want to give a special shout out to Hannah for coming all the way from Denver to listen to us play. I think she traveled the furtherest. Anyways we played some Creed, Incubus, Trapt, Todd Agnew, and some Foo Fighters. We put a lot of work into it and I’m so glad we had a lot of people there to support us.
