i don\'t think bdfree is being \'gay\'
for what it\'s worth, i think it was the deemsters that were \'gay\', not bdfree... (although he was tryin to lure me in with the old \'coke on the weenie\' trick...)
peaches I don\'t get your problem kid. We all have different opinions on this shit. If you have one, state it. If not, shut the fuck up.
bdfree, i got no beef with your opinions, you are entitled to them. it is totally acceptable for you to hate stoops, the trio, and cartoon songs. however, in
my opinion you sounded like a pompous clown right about here-
Maybe you don\'t know these kids, a lot of \'em are my festie crew and for the record they are absolutely dedicated fans to whatever bands they like. But now they\'re back on Bisco / Umphreys / Bassnectar / STS9 / DSO / Phil / Bobby / P-Groove (not RAQ, I don\'t know anyone who thinks they don\'t suck lol) tour and the only way they\'ll see Breakfast again is if they happen to camp out next to whatever stage Breakfast is playing at, and they are too fucked up to wander elsewhere. That\'s the truth. If Breakfast had put on a SER show at Iron Horse I could almost guarantee you a sell out for the next show and I doubt they would be playing at Iron Horse much longer.
After years of being the only one in my crew who gives a shite about Breakfast other than "oh yeah, their guitar player is pretty good but not as good as Jake Cinneger" I gave the band the best opp since Butterfield to win new fans in western Mass and it was totally blown.
Maybe you\'re right and they don\'t need these fans. Depends if Breakfast wants to play Sully\'s for life.
and i felt that needed to be addressed.
As far as my opinion on the stoops matter- I have already stated in this thread that I pretty much agree with Boombox, so to recap -
From what I\'ve heard of Stoops, he\'s more a return to form for me and I\'ve no problem with his being ex-Raq, as I liked them. It would be interesting to see what his being in the band would bring, not least in terms of an expanded fan base and perhaps greater commercial potential. His songwriting skills won\'t go amiss, certainly. He could provide just the right impetus to push the band to the levels of success they deserve.
Things change, I know, and the "golden age" of the band for me is perhaps over with both Jordan and Ronnie gone. (Sorry Chris, I know you\'re a bloody amazing bass player who has brought some real energy to the band, but my loyaltiy to the Save remains unquestioned.) So, as far as I\'m concerned, if Jordan came back, this would not be a backwards step, rather the welcoming home of a long lost prodigal son. Make the most of the shows with him - especially if the boys take the opportunity to plunder the old back catalogue again.
And as for those of you saying "this is the end", shame on you!
