Theresa's Fuelish Fiction

This is Josh's 3rd CD and he takes a few more liberties with this one than he has with the last two but Josh was given a little more license to experiment and has done a phenomenal job not only lyrically but vocally. I encourage you to give it a listen ...

Fuel fans, we got some news! We got our guy ... and this is gonna be real good! We've found our singer. We've been working with this guy for a while now and he's great. Last month we recorded and submitted a three song demo and, in order to comply with the powers that be, have been waiting for approval while all this other chaos has been going on. Well ... they love what they are hearing and seeing and are excited about what is happening and we are working on getting in the studio to cut the next Fuel record ASAP. I'll keep you posted for more details as they come, but ... hey ... we are finally at the starting gates and ready to roll. Great singer, great songs, it all starting to happen! Stay tuned! Carl

Sooooo ... who is this mystery man? I'm not altogether positive that it is Chris Daughtry ... Stay tuned boys and girls ....

It was a sad day in history when Brett announced he was leaving Fuel. Here's the note he posted on his My Space account ...

Brett's goodbye

To all my friends, family, fans and Fuelies… greetings and salutations! Over the past few months there has been a large dose of confusion and frustration amongst you all regarding what’s going on with Fuel. I hope this note answers all your questions.

Do I try to give this to you in a dull, sterile-sounding bunch of business jargon that only makes you even more confused and pissed off, or do I simply write what is in my mind and heart? I choose the latter.

The decision I have come to at this point in my life is to retire from Fuel. This is not a decision I just came up with at the drop of a hat. I have been thinking about this since the end of the Something Like Human tour.

I know this may sound funny, but I feel like you, as fans, are kind of like our children and mom and dad are getting a divorce. I’m sorry that “it’s come to this” indeed. I will always love Carl, Jeff and even Kevin like brothers, and I hope that we can keep a great relationship for the rest of our lives. Carl and Jeff plan to continue on with Fuel. I think that’s great and I give them all of my support and blessings. I would never wish bad blood on anyone. We made a band that is fucking great, & I will always have those memories.

Some of you might say that I’ve made this decision because of my new project, The X’s, or that it’s because I can’t sing anymore. Well, neither of these reasons are the case. I can still sing and I love what I am doing with the X’s. (In fact, I hope you come out and see us when we tour in your city.) But, the truth is, I feel like I need to push myself more as a musician and a writer and this is the best thing for me right now. Carl is a great songwriter. I have great songs in me too. Fuel, however, was never much of a collaboration. Collaborating is what I love to do and writing with others has re-sparked my passion for music.

I love being a musician. I love the smell of a tour bus. I love having Sharpie marks all over my hands at the end of the night because I was out signing all of the things you wanted me to sign. I love the feeling of walking onto a stage and hearing your voices screaming at the top of your lungs. I love how some fans have actually cried when they met me. It’s hard to fathom that someone could even have that effect on people much less it be me. I love what each and every fan has given me… a chance to be what I have always dreamed of being. A FUCKING ROCKSTAR!!!

I hope you all remember why you gravitated to Fuel in the first place. You liked the music and you liked the people playing it. Now, we are all branching out in bigger and bolder directions. I’m working with amazingly talented musicians and am really excited to share the outcome with you all. On with the future!
Peace.
Brett

So now what do I do? I have this whole website devoted to the band and the band is no more ... I've thought about this and have decided that the site stays. For those of you who love what Fuel used to be then this place is dedicated to you! I know Carl wants to continue on with his baby but I think he should just retire Fuel and move on to bigger and better (?) things. We love you Carl, let Fuel rest and move on ...

Welcome to Theresa's Fuelish Fiction! I have dedicated this site to my three loves, the rock group, Fuel, wonderfully talented singer Josh Groban, and my personal writing. Please roam the pages and make sure to visit the message board and sign the guestbook. In the next few weeks I'm going to be updating the site and making small changes, please bear with me as both Kyler and I have been working a lot and haven't had much time to devote to the site.
