Long live Free Speech. If someone doesn\'t want to pay a measley $7 to have their balls melt because their emotions are injured, fuck \'em. I\'ll be there even if the band starts throwing tomatoes at the crowd.

thatguy is so short. What, you got somethin\' to say brah? SAY IT THEN!

Leith, you don\'t make the rules for the band, OR for this forum. Have you been insulted by a band member on this forum? If not, then what the fuck are you whining about? what was the insult that promted you to start this thread? was it "Boo freakin hoo?" cause ser dude, who cares?!


Not playing Sweden, although I don\'t agree with Leith, I understand what he\'s saying.  His point is that fans pay the bill.  If you insult the fans, they stop paying the bills.  That being said, Leith has every right to expression his opinion in this online "forum".


Actually my point is:
Professionals act like it.
Even when it sucks to do so.
Worrying is like praying for something you don't want.

i think it makes it more fun for them to mix it up with us, how cool would it have been if there was a dead.info back in the day and jerry, phil or bobby would talk to fans.  or if trey or fishman or the rest of the band talked with fans too.  any band doing that would be awesome, and only add to the feeling of a family type atmosphere.  i\'m not insulted, i doubt dave is.  however, leave it up to leith to explain how it\'s all supposed to be.  thank god.  the wise old voice of reason.  looks like it was appreciated by all too.

correct yoda!


congratulations to adrian for being the first to ever say that! :yay:

my .02 is that everyone has the right to say whatever they want here short of just ripping on someone for no reason. if tim wants to set up an account here and someone calls him out and he decides to respond to the complaint, then fine, it\'s up to him. If however, tim just started writing horrible stuff about someone for no reason whatsoever outside of a personal gripe, then take it elsewhere.

Past that, I absolutely agree 100% with leiths comment that as a member of the band you should hold yourself to a higher standard and keep it to official statements about the band, shows, etc. But that\'s what I would (try to) do if I was in the band. I\'m not, it\'s not my place to say how to run their buisness. End of debate. If they want to post, let them.

And to devils advocate myself, as just a fan and not someone who knows the band, I think it\'s kind of cool that the band members read and post on the board. If I could go to a message board back in 96 and tell trey I though his solo sucked the night before and he called me out, I\'d think it was pretty damn cool. The fact that he was responding to me, good or bad would give me a deeper connection to the band and make me like them more. Unless they turned out to be pricks. :lol:

That\'s not an official statement btw, you\'d have to go to dave for one of those. Just my opinion.
