Now that the name change is all but official, it is no use debating it or criticising the new name. If we truly love this band, all we should do now is unconditionally support any decision they make. As for changing the nature of the music, all I can say is this: I hope they don\'t start making a habit out of doing 3-5 minute songs, and I hope they don\'t forgo guitar solos in favor of quick, catchy, lyrical songs. I am only one fan, and my opinion may hold little weight, but I was attracted to this band because of Palmieri\'s skill as a lead guitarist, and I live to hear the scorching 10 minute guitar solo coming out of his amp. If this is done over on top of some new cool catchy lyrics - great. Just don\'t get rid of the guitar solos and extended jams!
