Hinder to David Cook: 'We'll write with you'

Jul 1, 2008, 10:55 PM | by Shirley Halperin

Categories: American Idol, In the studio, Music, Music Biz

David Cook's already packed schedule is about to get more demanding. With the American Idol tour kicking off tonight and booked through September 22, the season 7 champ will have to juggle concert dates with studio time in order to make the deadline for an early November album release. But one band is willing, if not eager, to help: hard rockers Hinder, best known for their 2006 hit power ballad "Lips of an Angel." "I dig David Cook," says singer Austin Winkler, a native of Oklahoma, where Cook has lived for the past few years. "He shows that the world is starving for a little bit of rock-n-roll. Hopefully we can write some tunes for him."

According to Hinder, who were in the audience for this year's Idol finale and met the winner briefly that night, the admiration is mutual. "I heard he's a fan," Winkler tells EW.com. "I'm sure we'll cross paths." Meanwhile another Hinder member is holding out for a chance at some face time with a female Idol champ: Carrie Underwood. "I love her," says drummer Cody Hanson (no relation to Tulsa's Hanson brothers). "She’s my favorite of everything, and probably the hottest chick on the planet."

I can't belive that my favorite band Hinder is going tob be helping out Cook.I never thought Hinder would do that!

ALEXA Sat, Jul 26, 2008 at 09:02 AM EST

You rock David Cook, From Alexa

dede Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 04:02 AM EST

maica Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 04:19 AM EST

hi david..., you know, you always makes me admire you everytime i hear you sing..
you really have a great strong voice..
i love you....

JustMe Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 03:06 PM EST

Interesting to hear that Hinter drummer thinks Underwood is the hottest chick on the planet. She must think so too, she's always doing that horrid chicken-walk thing across the stage.

Nikki Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 10:54 AM EST

I hope Hinder will feature David C. in one of their songs. Take a look at Fall Out Boy they featured John Mayer in their music video Beat It! Isn't AWESOME!!! Rock On!!!

Jedd Sun, Jul 6, 2008 at 10:55 PM EST

Meanwhile another Hinder member is holding out for a chance at some face time with a female Idol champ: Carrie Underwood. "I love her," says drummer Cody Hanson (no relation to Tulsa's Hanson brothers). "She’s my favorite of everything, and probably the hottest chick on the planet."

In nowhere in this article did it say David likes Carrie Underwood, they were talking about a member of the band Hinder.

I think David should stick with Kimberly Caldwell anyway, she's way hotter (and a better singer) than Carrie and he is very lucky to have gone out on a date with her.

Pete Sat, Jul 5, 2008 at 05:36 PM EST

Cook will need all the help he can get, seriously. There was a reason he wasn't picked up by anyone for so many years prior to Idol and it wasn't from a lack of trying.

Meghan Sat, Jul 5, 2008 at 01:54 PM EST

I think this is awesome....The guys of hinder write amazing songs, and david's a rock guy so they could write some amazing sh*t for him.

gooooooooodddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jabo Fri, Jul 4, 2008 at 03:25 PM EST

Carrie Underwood wouldn't give DC the time of day. That is one ugly, huge mouthed man, and she is one beautiful woman. No offense DC...

Mina Morgenstein Fri, Jul 4, 2008 at 07:17 AM EST

For David:
David when you are compitting at the american Idol, your by yourself,you are smart, cmo'n David you can make it, we hav e a very high confidence in you, and also you and Carrie can have a big hit if you have a duet song, ask her out, looks awsome couple,David we love you, from the bottom of our hearts me and my family, if you reach your goal, don't change just you the David we know humble and loving.Take care, ops! a short reminder, if you think what yourdoing is right, think ten times not only ten times hundred times ok.

Aryanna Fri, Jul 4, 2008 at 01:47 AM EST

OMG!! I totally love hinder and lips of an angel and totally LOVE DAVID COOK this would be so awesome for me i would so listen to that song over and over again o so hope they do write a song together!!!

JULIA SWEENEY Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 07:32 PM EST

HOW ABOUT WRITING LIL DAVID??

Scarlett Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 03:58 PM EST

Run away david, far away! I like hinder and all, but I don't think its a good idea. :(

big fan Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 10:30 AM EST

Do it yourself David! Ask Carrie out on a date! She only goes if the guy asks. Dont be afraid, just say can I get your email. She says the 'good' guys never talk to her. You are a good guy.

knowell Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 10:27 AM EST

i simply want a david cook original song.....music...,,,and i love him!!!

Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 12:16 AM EST

David needs to venture off on his own, and if he wants to write some material with others, he needs to work with some big guns, not with Hinder. Besides, Hinder had one "hit," and I wouldn't quite call it a good song neither. I also think he shouldn't just limit himself to complete rock n' roll, I love how versatile he is, that's what I loved about him all throughout Idol.

Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 11:25 PM EST

I like Hinder and I love David Cook, but I think David should do most of his own music, I really think he has something to share in that beautiful mind of his. Maybe a little collaberating in his second or third album. He's got something to say on his own first.

Mary Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM EST

Please let David Cook write his own material. He has something about him that is what the music industry is looking for..

shantina Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 10:02 PM EST

Get away from them David and more importantly, get away from the slutty girl!

Dee Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 06:55 PM EST

Not particularly a Cook fan, but well Hinder's right, we are starving for Rock and Roll instead of the garbage they call music now.lol.

Louise M. Gibson Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 05:06 PM EST

Hi David, I am one of the older generation fans and I hope you stay who you are. You will have so many opportunites in your career. Be smart, choose smart. I agree with many of the above who have commented, we hope you do not sing just hard rock. You have an incredible voice for all kinds of music. Good Luck in all that you do.

Eve Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 11:56 AM EST

I agree. If he waits the right songwriter will come along that doesn't think they are better than him. This group needs David Cook more than he needs them. His CD is gong to explode and they would be lucky to have a song on it.

WildKAT Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 11:08 AM EST

Right On! David Cook. Choose whom you wish to write with and have a blast. You never know what killer tune will come out of collaborative efforts. You could sing the Manhattan yellow pages and make them sound totally rockin'. It's your stylin' that matters. You are da' bomb!

Gloria Maxwell Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 10:31 AM EST

I think David should remain on his own and not involved with all rock. I love his voice and his range is too big to confine it to rock.He should decide for himself what to do.

tracy Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 10:21 AM EST

ew, david, run away from those dudes! :/

Gwen Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 09:57 AM EST

He's gotten quite a few mentions recently. Good for Cookie!

kristina Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 08:43 AM EST

i think thats good he is working them i really like lips of angel and better than me when is hinder is coming out new stuff

Dee Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 07:46 AM EST

Personally, I think DC is better off without them. Their songs are extremely bland, IMO.
