 CD Baby: GRAVESTONE: Creating a monster

The 48 CRASH-production was made with a lot of money, according to guitarist Doc Reinelt, but this was at that time no guarantee for success (in contrast to today, if you think of the countless and talentless teenie-superstar-bands).
GRAVESTONE´s fans simply had expected different stuff from them.
