General - Breakfast Question

[OMS]

i love this band

[freddiewaht]

get a room!!

[Klout]

this has turned into a real pissing contest.

I have to say though Leith is probably right in the fact that even if they do get a new keyboardist they are not going to go balls to the walls and tour their asses off until they blow up.

It\'s understandable I GUESS. It\'s their lives. If it was me I would go for it though. Whats the point of doing anything if your not going to go for it full steam?

I think the doozie factor is a big part of it though. If they were selling out 500-1000 person venues in colorado and cali and everywhere in between i think they would be taking a lot more trips out there. Of course you can argue that the only way yo get to that point is to keep putting up with the doozies till you are selling out, but you gotta pay your dues which the band doesn\'t seem to want to do, but again its their life.  Of course some will say they paid their dues but there is no set definition of what paying your dues is and until you are BLOWING UP for real no turning back you have not paid your dues. either that or you just suck and it aint happenin which isnt the case here obviously.

klout, i was ready to be mad at you
but most of what you say there is right

i just think some people here need to know how to be critical without being so damn pessimistic

[jefft]

RYDB...good to see you around again! I\'m in the same boat.  I don\'t get to as many shows anymore but still love the music.  The last time I showed my face Todd called me a "PB ghost" and I relized how much life can change.  This is a great bunch of musicians and a great bunch of fans and I hope it lasts for a long time so I can pop in once and a while.

Those doozies exist/existed because the band failed to invest in half decent management and booking. That and they\'re still attached to the umbilical cord of Connecticut.  As Klout said, it\'s their lives, their choices. It\'s just a fucking shame that something with such beauty and incredible energy is farting out so slowly, and painfully.

[peaches626]

its a doozie that taint smears like yourself weren\'t booted off this board long ago.


....wait a second......

hehehe

[Overexjoesure]

Cool.  Really puts the hurt on my python boot......  

And I\'m sure lurkers love to read your incessant, anal obsessed nonsensical sequiturs . It\'s a wonder why only the same 20 people post here.

[peaches626]

ha, cmon guy im bustin your balls, i just think your a bit negative a bit too often.... dont let leith bring you down to his level is all im sayin....

[leith]

Hey when the band grows balls and actually does something positive to further their career like tour I\'ll be less negative. Until then you will either have to put me on your ignore list or deal with it.

[peaches626]

leith, one day we\'ll meet in real life and hug it out, but until then, you\'ll still sound like my 13 yr old sister who thinks she knows everything

[Yoda]

I don\'t really think that it\'s a negative/pessimistic POV, it\'s more of a realist POV.  I think that the one common thing we share, is that we all want to see this band succeed and we support them however we can.  And fans shouldn\'t criticize how other fans show support - you don\'t have to be an super/uber fan going to every show to be a fan.

[SlimPickens]

Cool.  Really puts the hurt on my python boot......  

I don\'t know what that means, but that\'s f\'in funny!!  Hope ya don\'t mind, I\'m gonna try to work that into conversation today.  I\'ve got a department meeting @ 9.... gonna start there.

Hey Peaches, thanks for bringing a needed taint humor into this thread.  It was really starting to bring me down.

I love the assumptions brought to the table by the nay sayers, like:

1. if they toured more they\'d be bigger.  Maybe so, maybe not.  Anyone on this board willing to put themselves $100,000 in debt to prove it?

2. the band hasn\'t paid their dues.  I\'d love to see ya try to say that to a band member.

It\'s a good conversation, it just makes me cringe because a very small population of this board has walked a mile in this bands shoe\'s.  And those that did, stopped after that mile.  So all these opinions being shouted from atop this digital soap box are assumptions from afar.  Very difficult to be right when that\'s you perspective.
