Yeah cut it out. Who started this thread anyway?

This is starting to look more like an actual discussion with varied opinions, as opposed to the typical circle-jerk atmosphere people have grown to love here.

funkydrummer :: you are right, imo.

Robyn no need to call somebody ignorant for having an opinion. What\'s ignorant is trying to belittle their opinion.

^^
You\'re right. Sixteen images of beating a dead horse is better than a reasonable discussion.

Any wonder why only like a dozen people routinely post on this board... might have something to do with the constant attempts to censor any opinion besides OMG!!!! I <3 Everything!!

what was I thinking..

I gotcha. And good points.

But I think its just as hag to come into a discussion that you have no interest in with the ole\' dead horse as that discussion itself may be.

Aside that, if TPalms is honestly confused why people think there\'s "something missing" he could always read this thread... a lot of people have taken time and thought to try to express this "something missing", and why a lot of people don\'t dig the guitar+keys at the same time stylie, as well as they could. A lot of these people are some of the best fans the band has.

People are entitled to vent when something drastic changes in their favorite band..

maybe this would have been settled 8 months ago and the dead horse would not need a fresh beating if people could have expressed their opinions and ideas without taking **** for it the first time around.

Before this thread becomes a dead horse.  Oh ****, I\'m too late.  Oh well, he goes.   I have seen the band 4 times, twice with Jordan and twice as a trio.  I have loved all four shows.  I have not been a fan for a nearly as long as most of those on .info (discovered them in 2003) and I think that has allowed me to have a much different perspective than most.  I didn?t see them in the early years, but have heard lots of them thanks to Live Archives.  Let?s face it, Jordan played with them for a very long time and helped them develop their sound.  Fast forward to today, Jordan is no longer with them and they could have just said ?**** it? and not moved forward, not stepped it up and quit.  But they didn?t.  It?s not like they have a huge name and can get a keyboard player at the drop of the hat.  Not that they wanted to anyway.  It?s a just a step in the evolution of the band.  They are not the first or the last band to experience this.  For those who aren\'t sold on their new direction, at least there are hundreds of live performances to listen to.  We?re all entitled to our opinions and if you don?t like the trio, that?s fine.  But it?s 2007 and today, The Breakfast exists as a trio.  The band, Ellis and all the others behind the scenes are still working hard to make this thing work.  I can certainly see why Ellis started this thread.  Power to the Trio.  You Lucky Bastards!

Robyn, yes I am.  It\'s really the only picture I can post from that night. :shrug:

:lol: too funny!

well since it says quick reply in this box i guess i will try to abide (i\'m really not going to).  The reason i got into this band was standing behind jordan at my "first" show at allman brothers parking lot at meadows in whatever year it was, 2000ish.  i was mezmorized by his flailing fingers and realized how much power a keyboardist can have in a band, leading to my interest and constant conquest of tickling those ivories.  I guess where im getting at is i loved jordan, i made sure to stand as close to him as possible at every show and "tuned" into him more than the others, i loved psychedelic breakfast for being just that, psychedelic.  After jordan\'s departure and their "transistion" into a rock trio (although I thought they always exhibited this even as a quartet) i am still able to say after every show that they **** rocked.  Although i have only seen a handful of shows of the trio, I was still as excited before during and after the show as i always have been.  Is my fewer shows a direct effect of the changing of the band?, ehhh probably the moving to another state thing had something to do with it and the latenight shifts, i guess i\'m still in love but its not you its me, nono, i guess my underlying love for the keys contributes to my lower attendance....but still i love the breakfast for again being that, the breakfast.  I will never not happily think or say how this band started my musical life and broadened my musical knowledge and tastes, and for that and among the obvious reasons i will forever see the shows that I can, not just in respect but in admiration and obsessiveness of their talent and their chemistry on stage.  I love them and always will, the loss of jordan hurt me, it did, but so has not seeing them as much.  I love them, i said it and ill saids it again.  to the band who has helped me be, again, just that.  and to the band more specifically adrian who has made me cry at a show (drum solo extravaganja fest) i never have and know ill never feel that way again at a show.....unless of course i get my lazy ass to more shows.  No matter what it will always be the most important meal of the day, just one less mouth to feed
