With over 30 million albums sold (including 12 million alone for their debut, Yourself Or Someone Like You), the bands music has become part of peoples DNA.<br /> <br /> Gauging his own time frame as a listener, Cook says that grew up just as a seismic shift was about to take place. "I started getting really into music right when albums were becoming not as important as they once were," he says. "They werent seen as complete artistic statements. And nowadays, its all about the single people dont listen to albums; they have But Ive caught up over the years and listened to the classics, and of course, theyve influenced my guitar playing."<br /> <br /> Asked to compile his list of 10 essential guitar albums, Cook explains that he zeroed in on records that feature the instrument being used in non-traditional ways. "I like it when somebody shakes things up," he says. "Take the blues, for example: You have a ton of virtuosic guitarists who play in very standard forms, but I listen for players who arent guys. Its like with most things: Whos doing something original?<br /> <br /> Even so, whittling down his choices of groundbreakers and rules-crunchers to an even 10 was something of a tall order for Cook. "I could easily come up with 20 or even 30," he says. "Picking just 10 is touch. Theres so many records that have inspired me over the years, and my iTunes collection is quite massive. So, if we look at this as sort of like desert-island discs, these are the albums Id want to take with me."<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/matchbox-twentys-kyle-cook-picks-10-essential-guitar-albums-575879">On the following pages</a>, Cook runs down what he considers to be 10 essential guitar albums (listed alphabetically by artist).</p> <p>From <a href="http://matchboxtwenty.com/">matchboxtwenty.com</a></p>Fri, 07 Jun 2013 12:51:00 -0700http://matchboxtwenty.com/news/155783<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/mb20/media/13/12/images/assets/medium.nRBvmvUaT-Dn8DtyyDzQvkP1QUFdltNeie5Dog2L-0E.jpg" /><br /><p>Its Cruise June and were 6 months away from our vacation with YOU in the Bahamas!</p> <p>Follow along with us all month on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/matchboxtwenty">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/matchboxtwenty">Twitter</a>, and <a href="http://instagram.com/matchboxtwenty">Instagram</a>for chances to win Cruise giveaways and to help us create "Our Cruise".

Many of these websites prominently, and without authorization, use our band name and photographs to mislead fans into thinking we endorse those online scalpers. Nothing could be further from the truth.</p> <p>These online scalpers sell tickets at vastly inflated prices. Those overpriced tickets can otherwise be bought at face value through links on this website.

More messages about everyones problems getting the tickets they want. I cant say everything I need to in 140 characters, so I thought I would direct everyone who cares to here.<br /> <br /> Please understand that my twitter site isnt the ticket complaint dept., so after this, I am not going to answer any questions regarding tickets. If anyone sees any concerns, please direct them here.<br /> <br /> Were working hard to get the best seats we can but there are many layers of commitments that we have to work within outside of a normal headlining show. Its hard to explain but there are a lot of hands in the pot in terms of inventory for this tour. Normally, there would be a headline tour and youd have to deal with the following:<br /> <br /> -PRESALE<br /> -VIP PACKAGE<br /> -PROMOTER HOLDS<br /> -LABEL HOLDS<br /> -MAYBE CITI/AMEX<br /> -MAYBE TM PLATINUM SEATS<br /> <br /> Because we are doing this tour together with the GOO-GOO DOLLS, there is a lot more going on in terms of what demand is put on the tour for inventory. You have everyone below fighting for great seats:<br /> <br /> -MB20 PRESALE<br /> -GOO GOO PRESALE<br /> -MB20 FAN CLUB BUNDLE<br /> -GOO GOO FAN CLUB BUNDLE<br /> -MB20 VIP PACKAGE<br /> -GOO GOO VIP PACKAGE<br /> -CITI CARD PRESALE<br /> -TICKETMASTER PLATINUM SEATS<br /> -PROMPTER HOLDS<br /> -LABEL HOLDS FOR GOO GOO<br /> -LABEL HOLDS FOR MB20<br /> <br /> All of these elements to the campaign are assigned holds or pull from opens (availability after holds). Also, because this is a Live Nation tour in sheds, most of the venues have season ticket holders that hold a license to the seats in the venue. These patrons get first pass at tickets and because this is a popular tour, I would guess most of those license holders jumped on the opportunity to purchase tickets.<br /> <br /> Generally, VIPs and Platinum seats are assigned holds after the season ticket holds. Then, from there, fan club opportunities (both the bundle and the coupon code protected sale) are tied to 50% of the venue being open - basically the next best 50% of the house thats available. Then all additional requirements get peppered to serve as a middle ground to the fan club inventory (citi, label, etc.).<br /> <br /> Also, we have gotten more replies from people that are happy with their seats than unhappy. Happy people dont usually complain.<br /> <br /> This is a complete list of why anyone may be having problems. I hope it answers everyones questions. See you out there.<br /> <br /> Rt</p> <p>From <a href="http://matchboxtwenty.com/">matchboxtwenty.com</a></p>Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:29:00 -0700http://matchboxtwenty.com/news/143321<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/mb20/media/05/06/images/assets/medium.ZbyZ27GuD1sO9c5PU7-TyLuyQwSAGtl__wpUh8fUoBc.png" /><br /><p>Fanclub Members!
