Eighteen Visions frontman starts solo project

James Hart, vocalist for recently disbanded Eighteen Visions, has now started a solo rock project. Hart has released the following statement: "I know that most of you feel that my old band Eighteen Visions split abruptly. That really wasn't the case. 18V had been a band for 10+ years. I think it just got to the point where we all had different goals and ideas for the band on a musical and touring basis. We all felt it was time to move on to something fresh and new. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity this last May to meet and write with songwriter/producer Zac Maloy. He fronted 90's rock band the Nixons and has written songs with and for Daughtry, Bowling For Soup, Default, The Pearls and many more. I went out to Tulsa, OK in May with one goal in mind...to write the best songs I possibly could. Zac and I really hit it off and worked well together. We got 4 amazing songs written in 5 days of work. The song you have heard on my page 'Deadend Roads' is a product of that retreat. After I returned home I was invited back for another writing retreat. I was there once again just this last week for about 10 days and got another 7 songs written. I am extremely excited about everything that has gone on so far. I have also done a bit of writing with Keith Barney (Eighteen Visions/Never Enough) and Syn Gates (Avenged Sevenfold). I look forward to writing with more great musicians and songwriters from the rock world soon. For all of my fans from the old school 18V days to the new fans I am just now acquiring...THANK YOU! I appreciate the undying support." You can check out one of his new songs here.

xthexoncomingxstormx 7/13/2007 9:35:41 AM

that song sounds EXACTLY like recent 18V

AndrewChrz 7/13/2007 9:51:41 AM

that song sounds EXACTLY like recent 18V That should make perfect sense. James is the reason why this band broke up, he wanted this horrible stuff to be their direction forever. At least he isn't holding the rest of them back anymore.

slaytyricon 7/13/2007 12:04:20 PM

im looking forward to seeing this dude working at a record store that caters to people who used to like his shitty music then decided to get real jobs and have real lives instead of clinging to failed music and have shitty neck tatoos

limpbizkitequalstight 7/13/2007 12:07:06 PM

boy kid, you sure are a gay!

chrisd 7/13/2007 12:21:06 PM

holy shit that song sucked. hey james, 1993 just called. even when this type of crap was cool your music would be in the dollar bin.

ronniefuckingdobbs 7/13/2007 12:42:04 PM

xvegeedgex 7/13/2007 12:45:42 PM

James Hart is a fcking dickcake.

motherfckzombies 7/13/2007 12:56:57 PM

wow, that song was funny, he's doing comedy albums or this supposed to be serious?

Dave2112 7/13/2007 1:20:39 PM

James Harts love for himself is seconded only by his love of making insanely shitty, gay as fck c-ckrock, but then again, they two go hand in hand.

likeatonabricks 7/13/2007 1:30:33 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

fsovercrooks 7/13/2007 1:31:46 PM

this guy is digging himself deeper and deeper in a shit hole...

MarginError 7/13/2007 1:37:32 PM

I figured he'd take over for Scott Weiland when he OD's...

johnnygore 7/13/2007 2:10:39 PM

HAHAHA this is a joke right? going back to what he loves? did he ever have a solo project before? naw just an excuse to be the gay he is and ditch 18 visions. well good, the fckign suck anyways. fcking gay.

michikazu 7/13/2007 2:56:38 PM

Who cares??? 18 V...Bad band,, no good for like 10 years..... James Hart.... Horrible singer... your new songs suck... you got to stop living in the past.... go work at wal-mart

withoutashield 7/13/2007 3:26:07 PM

18 Vajins.. Glad to see it took a couple of months living in Tulsa to come up with this masterpiece.. Total dog shit. James Hart = The Original Miss Potato Face.

xnotsoedgex 7/13/2007 3:54:41 PM

i thought the news was going to be that he was opening up his own hair sallon...

347_5h17 7/13/2007 4:18:56 PM

hahaha,wow good game

sgd54 7/13/2007 4:19:04 PM

The is music direction different than his prior band 18 visions. I like how he let his hair grow out, he looks better than ever.

lordofthefuckingrim 7/13/2007 4:45:10 PM

this reminds me of how bad ive gotta poop right now. *runs to the RR*

keepitwolfson 7/13/2007 4:46:01 PM

im sorry but you couldnt cut the mustard and its absurd.. gay

withdeadhandsrising 7/13/2007 5:15:00 PM

this guy is gayer than a mango fruit smoothy resting on richard simmons' glittery taint.

Infernaeon 7/13/2007 5:46:12 PM

I would like to beat this bands ass. All against one and I would still win

Fraility 7/13/2007 6:03:17 PM

This kind of reminds me of when Justin Timberlake broke off of NSYNC and started his solo career, Hope you enjoy touring with Akon and Gwen Stefani. However, i won't lie, i was a big fan of old 18V until you guys pussed up, gay.

tiger 7/13/2007 6:24:16 PM

its called papa roach right?

oceanswillrise 7/13/2007 8:09:35 PM

I AM THE TIN MAN!

nitro 7/13/2007 8:40:46 PM

Daughtry Huh?? Impressive!!!

soccermom 7/13/2007 11:58:25 PM

i clicked this knowing it would be bad, but i didn't expect it to be this bad. jesus.

auspex 7/14/2007 6:26:18 AM

I don't understand how 18v went on as long as it did. It's pretty easy to get 10 songs done in 10 days when you're writing girly bullshit. Oh, and straight edge is for squares and kids who would've otherwise pretended to be gay for attention.

Freakboy666 7/14/2007 11:14:08 AM

Zac Maloy's band the Nixons was great, Whats hedoing writing with this twerp.

thisaintsweettea 7/14/2007 12:53:53 PM

"Daughtry, Bowling For Soup, Default," hahahahah. you gayy gay gay

forumdrama 7/14/2007 3:33:53 PM

How can he listen to this song about be stoked? It's fcking worse than terrible.

skammy 7/14/2007 3:55:11 PM

here's some truth for you. James went to tulsa not to make music with the zac dude... but to fck him. he had sexual relations with him before about 5 years ago when he was in a band called thirty called arson.

FromHeavensDarkestCorner 7/14/2007 5:12:25 PM

This song made me LOL so hard

Seppuku 7/14/2007 5:27:50 PM

Break up already, gay!

loki 7/14/2007 6:31:42 PM

haha, if you read the comments on his blog (where he spelled the title wrong) you'll see the exact opposite type of comments as you do on this site hahaha, music totally k1llz tho! r0ck on J@meZ!!!

wigjam 7/14/2007 6:48:31 PM

at least he still has the gig hosting scarred

Dave2112 7/15/2007 10:24:28 AM

He continues to shame his family name - James Harts Father, Ruffis Hart

hxcobd 7/16/2007 1:58:38 AM

This is the fcking worst shit I've ever heard in my entire life.

edgehog 7/16/2007 2:39:29 AM

emoxfag 7/16/2007 1:52:28 PM

xvegeedgex 7/16/2007 6:15:25 PM

IT DOESN'T EVEN SOUND LIKE 18V. NOR DID IT EVER. KEEP SOLOSUCKING CHODE YOU FASHIONFISTER!

burzum 7/17/2007 9:19:09 AM

Oh yeah, this is great.

carve 7/18/2007 10:20:04 AM

i listened and expected to laugh, but this shit is so bad it isn't even funny. just stop.

xBILLfromsteinx 7/21/2007 5:04:02 PM

HE PLAYS ROCK N ROLL. fck 18V and james hart.

pigtits 7/22/2007 5:32:40 PM
