David Cook 11.0: You're Still Standing
  Welcome Cookistas and all David Cook fans! As we leave our old balay the fandom is all a-flutter with anticipation for David Cook's guesting in Carrie Underwood's 2-hour Christmas Special, set to be aired on December 7 in the US. The excitement reached a high level after reports from fans who had gone to the taping started pouring in, whether via short twitter messages or long, detailed recaps. Dave is on a 2-week vacation, which has been devoted to the taping of the said special, and also, as has been learned only a couple of days ago, of an appearance in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, helping a family build a home so that daughter Kori can better cope with a congenital blood disease. Kori herself has raised $35,000 for the American Cancer Society to help her best friend. Dave has volunteered, adding yet one more to a growing list of causes he has supported in the past year. So as we embark on this new thread, we salute these heroes who struggle and continue the good fight despite the hardships - You're still standing! Before we begin, a little history lesson for those new to the fandom (or those who are curious as to who or what the Cookistas are): David Cook 1.0 The True Rocker of AI7: David Cook : Where it all started. Midway through American Idol season 7, David Cook already had a strong, vocal following whom he earned through sheer talent and hard work, but at the time it was a well-known fact that he was not the Chosen One. All through the thread, more and more fans joined in the fray, dedicated enough to log in hundreds and hundreds of votes from across cyberspace. By the end of the thread, we already had our American Idol. David Cook 2.0 Consider Yourselves Cookified! : Where we ooh’d and aah’d over DC’s American Idol tour performances, awaited developments and news about his upcoming album – the label (RCA), producer (Rob Cavallo), collaborators (too many to mention, see Wiki) -- and marvelled at that sneaky little Magic Rainbow which has since then turned into Platinum Rainbow David Cook 3.0 Thread Still Untitled, Just Like His Album : Where we talked about the then much-anticipated yet-untitled debut album David Cook 4.0 `Cause we love, and we bleed, and we stole his soul to set him free : Where anticipation for the debut album was at its height, and where album release day finally came. It took us only a little over a month to finish the thread. David Cook 5.0 He’ll be GOLD for Christmas!: Where we eagerly monitored HDD and Soundscan sales figures for DCTR, celebrated David’s birthday and the album’s GOLD status, and basically enjoyed the holidays and looked forward to a new year with high hopes for David Cook’s success in the music industry. David Cook 6.0 We’re Crashing Down In His Davalanche: Which we started earlier than anyone expected, and where we started 2009 in high spirits. This was made especially memorable as we ended 2008 with Magic 89.9’s Yearend Countdown, where Time of My Life landed at #3 (to everyone’s surprise!), and Always Be My Baby at #1. In the following weeks we showed our support for Avalanche, then newly added to the playlist of Magic 89.9, and Max 103.5. We began the thread with Avalanche at #4 in Magic’s Top 5@5 daily countdown. We ended the thread with Avalanche ruling both Magic 89.9 and Max 103.5’s weekly countdowns. David Cook 7.0 Cook Out, On the Lookout: Where we continued to support Avalanche on Magic and Max, and eagerly awaited news on The Declaration Tour. Thread 7.0 saw the creation of Ang Cookistang Miron, which logs the best videos from the concert tour. David Cook 8.0 To Platinum and Beyond!!!: Where we continued to follow the Declaration Tour via cellcasts and Cookistang Miron, and saw the addition of Come Back to Me (aka Windy) to the playlists of Magic 89.9, RX 93.1, and Max 103.5. Come Back To Me climbed the charts in no time, achieving the first grandslam of the year on Philippine radio for 2009, as we ended the thread. David Cook 9.0: So is this the David Cook Concert thread? Yes. Yes. Yes!!!: Which we began with confidence, for we had already received official confirmation of the Manila concert. Anticipation went sky high, and preparations were made for the concert. At the same time, we continued to support Come Back to Me, which logged an amazing amount of #1s on Magic 89.9, RX 93.1, and Max 103.5. The Come Back to Me music video (aka ydniW/Windy video) debuted in the US at the end of March also, and so we joined our American counterparts in supporting it. David Cook finally arrived in Manila as we reached the final pages. David Cook 9.1: So is this the David Cook Concert thread? Yes. Yes. Yes!!!: Which started on the very day David set foot on Philippine soil. This thread saw an insane amount of traffic as all eyes in the DC fanverse were on Manila, and this thread. Long time lurkers and new visitors began posting as well as updates kept coming in – it was the concert week, and there was just so much to report and talk about. The thread abounds with news, pictures, and links to articles, videos, every tidbit of information that had to do with the concert and Cooky’s appearances during his 5-day stay in Manila. We saw the birth of The Cookista Chronicles, meant to contain inside stories and reports of events that transpired during the concert week. David Cook 10.0 ♪ ♫ ♪ He Came. He Conquered. He's Permanent!!! ♫ ♪ ♫: Where we continued to support Permanent on Magic 89.9 and RX 93.1, making it chart for 18 and 8 weeks respectively. Permanent has since gotten airplay in several other radio stations. News of a publishing deal with Cherry Lane Music Publishing, Inc. turned up, hopefully starting what will become a lucrative songwriting career for David. In mid-July the Philippine flag was added to DCO, acknowledging our presence as one of the biggest international fan groups that frequent the site. Things got crazy for a while, as saging talk went on and on (blame it on DJ Suzy), Dave joined the dark side (twitter), the Cherry Lane unreleased song snippets were discovered, and interviews with the stage chicken (aka Crazy Legs), Dave as Green Man and Dave as drummer videos turned up. It was a significant period also for the band, as Joey Clement left, to be replaced by Monty Anderson (initially set to work with David for 6 weeks, but he’s still with them as of this writing), and a band name was announced: The Anthemic. The Declaration Tour continued, going past the 100th show mark (where it happened depends on whether you want to follow the official tour stop count or fans’ show count), and letting David break the standing record for most number of shows for an Idol debut tour. Fans grew ever more enamored by the tour as songs like IDIFY and Lie were continuously tweaked, and acoustic numbers were sometimes inserted into shows, most notably in the Canada concerts. A Cookista, clandestine12, made the Pinoy presence felt in the Dakotas concerts, successfully carrying out a mission to let David know that Bar-ba-sol was #1 in 99.5 RT’s RT30 countdown, which began sometime in August. Light On went platinum, and TOML nabbed the Nashville Song of the Year Award. Towards the end of the thread, Dave’s involvement in Carrie Underwood’s Xmas Special was a cause for celebration, as well as the announcement of his participation in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, to be aired sometime in January 2010. Lastly, Bar-ba-sol finally cracked the Top 5@5, during a season where a lot of great, radio-friendly songs have been scrambling for a place in Magic 89.9’s charts. Some of our best-loved and most frequented David Cook websites: David Cook Official – The place to be. Also fondly referred to as “kabila”, “kabilang bahay”. Of special note here is the TWoP thread, where the snarkiest, smartest and funniest of fans gather and discuss everything and anything Cook-related under the sun. Warning though: not for light readers, as the thread runs at the speed of light. Don’t blink or else you might find pages and pages worth of backreading. The TWoP thread’s sister Billboard and Soundscan thread, is also a favourite haunt for those who are curious about the numbers – charts and sales information, airplay, station adds and the like.

 (Image chop by riverhorse.) If anything, winning American Idol was just the beginning for season 7 champion David Cook, who, within 18 months of being crowned was able to release his first major-label record, tour beyond the 52 states of America and form his own band, which, not surprisingly, includes some of his best friends from back in the day—you know, when he was sporting the ridiculous red-and-black faux hawk emo hair and singing to a very drunken yet impressed Paula Abdul. I mean what? A little after his first single Light On was released, Cook introduced his band comprised of lead guitarist (and rock god) Neal Tiemann, rhythm guitarist/keyboardist/back up vocalist Andy Skib (of the Tulsa band MWK and lead singer, if not only member of To Have Heroes), bassist Joey Clement (formerly of Alex Band’s backing band) and Kyle Peek, who seemed to fall from heaven’s gates to ruin our lives with his awesome drum-beating talent. It was like it wasn’t enough that David Cook was awesome on his own, he had to add four equally amazing guys to further drive home the point that he has indeed, ruined our lives. Take for example Neal Tiemann. There’s a reason why his middle name starts with an F—and it’s because he’s that amazing, IYKWIM. And you know he’s really badass with all those damn sexy tattoos and the lip rings and dude does he have talent or what?! Let me break it down for you—Neal fcking Tiemann is left handed but learn to play the guitar the normal way, using his right hand to strum instead of the other way around. AND he’s the primary lyricist and songwriter of MWK, which by the way if you haven’t checked out yet goddammet what are you still doing here? Go to CDBaby or iTunes or wherever and get streaming! Anyway. Neal fcking Tiemann is amazing. And if you don’t believe me, go to his Twitter page (twitter.com/nealfingtiemann—and no, it’s not fing as in ring, it’s effing as in ****ing) and tell me if that isn’t a badass rock star tweeting right there. Let’s talk about Andy Skib. The first thing you’ll notice is his adorable eyes, which are just awesomely big and brown and you know you’d love to stare at them forever, if you live long enough to actually survive listening to his sweet voice that just totally reminds you of the boy next door you secretly have a crush on but you’re way out of his league. And did I mention he likes wearing those chucks and they fit him so well and it’s so cute and his hair! His long garage band rocker hair that my mom says is very reminiscent of the Beatles! Andy Skib can rock—go listen to him growl on MWK’s earlier records and you’ll see how much he’s evolved as a singer. His solo effort, To Have Heroes is constantly on KCRadio.com and if you haven’t checked that out, go do it. Now. Kyle Peek—he’s the youngest band member of the Dweeb but hell can he rock. He’s often described as an animal when he gets behind his drum set but what really got to me was his childlike joy when he blogged about getting his new Truth drumset. That was just cute beyond words. Kyle has drool-worthy arms that David can old dream of and HE. CAN. SING. If you haven’t seen that video of him jamming with Andy Skib and Ryan Star, go watch it. This guy who exerts so much effort in pounding the drums can actually sing while doing it. How awesome is that?! He does back up vocals for David, most noticeably on I Did It For You during their live shows. If anything, the Kid is really, really awesome for his age. Joey Clement. Where do we start? The funky headbands, the stage kicks, the cheers, the crazy movie reviews, THE CURLS. His hair is just awesome—as awesome as the energy he gives the band on stage. He’s a force to be reckoned with, with his bad jokes, spontaneous quips and crazy antics. Too bad he left the band in July to join his good friend Alex Band, formerly of The Calling. Joey’s other projects include Selena Gomez’s band and—wait for it—MWK! He’s playing for MWK on the side, which isn’t bad—it actually goes to show what an amazing relationship he formed with the band in a matter of a few months. Monty Anderson not-so-temporarily replaced Joey as the bass player for David’s band and since then, nothing has ever been the same. And no, Monty isn’t the tour bus driver. He is in fact one of David’s friends from back in Tulsa and you can’t deny he brings some charm to the table when they’re performing. How amazing do the guys look when they all come up in front during the final 30 seconds of I Did It For You and rock out like there’s no tomorrow? Monty seems like a nice, funny guy who can’t dance to save his life, thus making David look better at dancing, if anything but he’s also a sweet guy, a big brother of sorts to the 20-something guys. In August of this year, David formally announced through a radio interview for KHOP that the name of his band is Anthemic, so they’re now collectively called David Cook and the Anthemic, formerly known as Dweeb and alternately known as the band of the ultimate hot a.S.s. by Stella.

 (Pic by Tina Judge aka Sing4MeGavin.) Listen to the recording: Bar-ba-sol refuses to back down, is back at #1 for the 8th week. October 23, 2009. - DJ Inka mentions Dave's tweet earlier that morning about not shaving (he was responding to fans' near panic about reports that he had completely shaved off all facial hair for the Carrie Underwood Xmas special  )Last edited by imogen_ph : Oct 24, 2009 at 10:46 AM. |
