New Lineup

[bdfreetuna]

I think horns sound like farts of various frequencies. Therefore I avoid listening to them.

[Me!]

whatever happened to doing something just cause it\'s gonna be cool.  It\'s gonna be incredible to have Stoops playing with them for a few shows. Fuck all else.

You guys are nuts, this is going to expose many new people to the band. Also it\'s not like Tim, Chris, & Adrian will get worse during this time period, they can still write new material and debut new songs with Stoops in the picture. Enjoy your heteraide.

Do you think all these new fans are going to stick around when they go back to being a 3 piece after 1/1?

No, it\'ll be cool for the shows he plays but then we are back to square one.

This band has not made any ground in the last 12-18 months.

Besides, I don\'t think they can survive as a band without Stoops.

What makes you so sure that the new fans wont stick around? You think zero faces will be owned, zero new hardcore fans will be gained? Also you seem pretty sure that Stoops will be out like a fat girl playin dodgeball 1/1. Source?

Don\'t be naive. The first run through as a 3 piece BARELY held together. I enjoyed it but the shows were extremely light.

What makes you think they will stay?


I am saying the opposite of that Stoops is leaving. I think he is staying.

Spacey I respectfully disagree on lesser points...

The Breakfast does not *need* a keyboard player. Ooops, brain fart. The Breakfast needs a keyboard player!

To me Breakfast Trio was not their highest point musically. The high points being pretty much any time with Sequoia or Matt in the picture. Tim is in my top 5 favorite all time musicians so I hate to criticize at all -- but I really hope not to see the guy trying to tackle keyboards and guitar at the same time again. I mean its badass that he could pull it off... but IMO it caused a lot of limitations that you don\'t have with a seperate guy on keys.

What are we disagreeing with?

I believe the Breakfast needs a Keyboardist to survive.

That is definitely good. Peaking some interest.

The real deal is keeping them interested.

in retrospect matt ditching out days before the biggest tour of the bands career was a pretty dick move. I know he wanted to go in different directions musically and thats understandable  so you wanna quit..FINE...but at least honor the commitment you made to the tour.  sticking it out for one more month is not going to impact the rest of your life that much one way or the other.  And why even let him come back for a few shows after doing almost the whole tour without him cause he was too busy with other shit??? In or out.

That said...LETS GO STOOPS!

really hope it works out and he stays on permanently and commits to the long haul. This bands badly needs some stability.

Your post sounds like one big fart.

[peaches626]

is this really the biggest tour of the bands career? i think not.  I also find it strange that they would play shows without matt and then bring him back, but whatever floats their boat i guess...

At least it didn\'t smell as bad as it sounded.

I am grateful for that.

I completely agree with this post.

the fact that stoops is joining up for the rest of the year has already heightened the public\'s awareness for the breakfast.

that\'s how it all starts. now raq fans are trying to sell out the breakfast shows.

i have no idea how this can be thought of as anything but excellent for the band given the circumstances.

lemons -> lemonade -> sickness
