We hoped to see her again singing. It doesn’t matter alone or accompanied by a group. We just want to hear her again. I, as fan, admirer and a big one impassioned by her, I am waiting for a new project.

Carah is and it will always be in our minds and our hearts. She is not just one more singer. It is irreplaceable, it is only.

Forever, Carah Faye Charnow. I know that she didn’t die, but there is a great emptiness in our hearts. Her lack is felt. It will always be.

Thank you so much for your honest response to all this hoopla over the “facts” of Carah’s departure from STG. They are my absolute favorite band in the universe, and, if it is indeed the case that she was kicked out, and did not willfully leave, then I’m disgusted by my favorite band. They’ve made a bad, bad mistake. I actually feel sorry for Sisely whateverhernameis, because she gives a face to everything that’s gone wrong with something so beloved. She should’ve said no to Jeremy’s offer (re: from Siselly). Yech. The name Sisely makes me cringe. Man, I’m soooo glad I took this footage before it was too late:

If Chad and Jeremy think that the fans will get over it, embrace the new album wholeheartedly, forget Carah, or forget it ever happened at all, they’re dead wrong. The “Jackie Will Save Me” footage I took makes me sad; sorry we (the fans) couldn’t save you, Carah. Your voice brought an angelic beauty to the machinations of Shiny Toy Guns. As much as I’m mixed about it, I’m hoping the band suffers for it. Every virtual site featuring Shiny Toy Guns (myspace, facebook, blogs) has multitudes of comments from fans bemoaning Carah’s loss. It is practically the only subject of any comment regarding the music or the band. We’re not so easily duped.

If you are indeed her sister, Janelle, please tell Carah that she will remain a legend to the millions and millions of fans forever. I am devastated, but getting used to the fact that there will never be another album that makes me feel as though I’m hearing God the way “We Are Pilots” makes me feel. No one can ever take her away from “We Are Pilots.” After I heard the news, I listened to the namesake song from the album, and cried. Her voice was my voice as I listened to it– she sang my pain, too.

Also, tell her I’ve always thought her voice would be a perfect Eponine in Les Miserables. Just right.

Lots of love to Carah!!!!!

All the Best,
Katie

now, i will agree changes have been made and if you want to stick by you have to adjust to them, but few people can adjust in the span of a week.

the post you’re agreeing with was a fake. (if someone has to lie about their identity to post something what are the rest of their words like? being anonymous or using a screen name is far different from impersonating a former member’s family member)

Yes, Jeremy and Chad are the brains, however there is also a third song writing, just to let you know so theres one more brain going up there. :)

And I never said I don’t like the changes, I’m pretty sure I didn’t say that at least. But each one of these changes are big and will take getting used to (ex: removing a band member well loved by the bands followers).

As for what you said about my pessimism and me personally I agree I can be pessimistic sometimes, but I don’t see how this is so negative “Now what I need to love this song is the rest of the album so I can see the connections and how the themes tie in to eachother.”

Simply put I really liked Shiny Toy Guns the way they were and I hoped to see what they could become and how they could change, now that the changes are here it will take some getting used to but I’m glad overall that they’re taking a new direction.

Anyhow, there’s nothing wrong with your opinion, maybe I do come off as negative, but at the moment I’m not trying to become a journalist.

“Aight Dubois, hows it going? Long time no rant.” That just about sums up the fake comment posted under Janelle’s name. It might not have been Dubois, but we’ve seen similar things to this happen on blogs and websites before and it’s not going to happen here because it only gets worse.

Sorry for the inconvenience Janelle and thank you for saying that the comment wasn’t from you.
