It seems like every few months a thread similar to this will pop up on .info. Most of the time it is from people who don\'t live in the northeast and/or from people who don\'t see the band often, if at all, anymore. Sometimes it comes from neither of the two. My point is I don\'t understand why all the negative energy needs to be brought to this board so often. The band is going to do what THEY want to do. If you don\'t like their new approach to concerts, their touring habits, or their song selections deal with it and keep it to yourself. Some of you complain they don\'t tour enough and they need to get out and hit the road for 8-10 weeks at a time. Thanks for sharing! If the band actually cared what you had to complain about then maybe they would.
I don’t see how they can be criticized for not touring. They have played close to 50 shows this year and have only taken off a handful of weekends. To me it seems like instead of traveling every weekend of the summer they want to rest up, enjoy life at home, and get ready for the fall. The festival gigs are solid and should pay huge dividends in the long run. If they enjoy playing in the northeast with occasional trips down south, then so be it. Who are you to judge?
I think everyone needs to stop pretending they are the band\'s manager. If you don\'t have anything good to say about the band then stfu. As a whole, this is one of the most laid back and fun groups but all this negativity has to stop. I know I\'m being hypocritical with my post but I really can\'t stand all the recycling of bad vibes around here. Sorry, but I had to get that off my chest.
