I remember GarvyJ from his Elevator Drops days…one of the best opening acts I had ever seen and FITTS was the coolest drummer ever…sorry to hear about the fire….and it sucks if that affected the outcome of his status on this competition….I will look into the Jeremy Buck thing since so many of you are so disappointed..

What in the mad hell are you thinking, promoting your own talent!?! Jeremy Buck and the Bang are the only talented guys in the whole group and they didn’y make the top 5? They should have won the whole damned thing. Who has two thumbs and is boycotting 98.7? (points at self with thumbs)THIS GUY RIGHT HERE!

Heard an interesting rumor that the song that won the contest was actually written by a member of ironworks records….nice touch to have a “contest” in order to promote their own group….standard LA publicity stunt.

I am so pleased that GarvyJ made it to top 5 and I am not one bit surprised!

I am very disappointed that he could not make it tonight and it is with good reason, his studio burned down in July and all of his equipment went with it. It was a very bad fire. So I understand why he is not there, but he would of been there if he could have.

He has such a passion for his music that he will be and on his feet before we know it and I cannot wait to hear him on the airwaves, and I know he will be on the airwaves soon.

I just love his music, I cannot say enough about it. I am surprised someone has not signed him yet, but I feel confident he will be signed by someone soon because he is just too good!

I have his CD and my daughter bought me my 1st IPOD and GarvyJ was the first CD I downloaded into my IPOD and I listen to him all the time.

GarvyJ has such a creative mind and his music is so unique that I just get lost in enjoyment when I listen to him. He is a natural talent and he posseses the components needed to succeed and he will succeed. Music is his passion and I just love listen to him over and over.

Truly upset that you did not put Jeremy Buck & the Bang in the top 5. You are definitely missing out on serious talent! There is no doubt this band will be picked up by a major record label. They have superstar quality…you will be sorry you let them get away!

Garvyj has a nice vid and a timely song. He opened for the goo goo dolls last New Years eve in LA at House of Blues. He won’t be there Friday because the studio he has on the east coast burnt down (google: Bernat Mill Fire). The drums, guitars and amps all dust. He is out there trying to sort out what to do. The Elevator Drops drum kit which was a custom set is gone. I hope someone says something about it at the Friday gig in LA. Jude why don’t you get him on the label anyway? How about helping him out here with the state declared disaster? He saved the masters for an album and all the E-drops masters that Time Bomb wanted to buy. He could be a gold mine.
Any Elevator Drop or GarvyJ fans out there?

Big, Huge, Mistake not choosing Jeremy Buck and the Bang. I know I will never purchase or listen to any of the five finalist you chose. I am sure, your loss will be somebody elses gain because this band has star qualities, they just haven’t been seen by the right people.

INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE FINALISTS FOR THE ROCKSTAR CONTEST. YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG! You will be sorry when J Buck and the Bang break the charts!

Jeremy Buck is so talented it is sick. Some record company that whats to make money should take this guy and have him perform live show on a tour and it will prove he is a great talent. And one of the most sincere and nicest people you will meet. Go J BUCK !!!!!
