I hadn't seen this. Wow, that's a lot of money, and this doesn't include the 'My City of Ruin" release. You gotta tip your hat to this band time and time again.

    Well if every band gave that much it would amount to a huge load of cash so good on PJ for stepping in to help. Did all you who criticise give what was proportionate to your net worth? We at work (my part time job not my full time) have raised over £2000 when we earn minimum wage which is alot to most there as its their full time job. Hats off to anyone who has helped with this terrible disaster.

    That is a very gracious donation from one band. It's more than enough considering these guys didnt have to donate a dime, but they are indeed a very giving set of guys..
    To put it in perspective, the entire NHL(National Hockey League) and its 30 teams only donated $100,000 to the Efforts.

    It's great to hear this.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Wow only $100,000?!?! that's pretty lame compared to the amount of money PJ donated... Indeed this band is one of a kind! :thumbup:
