many people are stoked to see jordan back in the band!

I for one can\'t wait to see the guy again.

this board has become a pretty ugly place as of late!  to call matt\'s departure the band\'s "death blow" is melodramatic and over the top.  for one the band isn\'t dead.  and on top of that, aside from having to do half a tour keyboardplayerless, i don\'t see what the big deal is.  many people are stoked to see jordan back in the band!  last i checked, the guys in the band seemed happy to me.  what\'s all the **** gloominess about?  lighten up, people.  this ****\'s supposed to be fun.

You\'re right Jim. The band is not dead just not a viable National Act for anyone to want to invest in anymore.

To some that\'s as good as dead.

Jordan being in the band is great musically but from a business sense (ala touring) it is less great.

i\'m not challenging that idea, i\'m saying that blaming that solely on matt is just straight up clown shoes.

Yeah.

hey folks, what up?  
I check out the board from time to time.  just noticed a thread about me.  wanted to say hi.  things are awesome over here.    man, some of that negative stuff some folks are writing is so not true son.   most folks have no idea what went on behind the scenes.  no one to blame, just different paths and different desires that we had.  I gave it my all for the time i was there.    I still think the breakfast is one of the best bands out there and I look forward to going to a show when I am in town.  I have no bad feelings towards any of the guys and I have been in touch with them.   if you need to know something just ask. why all the negativity? wheres the love?  wheres the love y\'all?  you know we all need lots more love.  end the hate.  end the hate.   its just music.   peace.

Jeah!

Hey Matt- I\'m actually hoping to see you guys when you\'re in town 2 weeks from now.  Just throw in a Breakfast tease and expect some heckling in the crowd.  I think I\'m ready to play that 1-finger keyboard part, how about a sit-in?  

sorry cats,
i prolly shouldn\'t of busted in on the thread.  I was just stressed today from too many plane flights (6 in the last week or two) so I was surfin the web and I saw this thread and I felt bad that people was hatin on me.  so I wrote something.  prolly shoulda kept myself in check.  this should be a place where you can say whatever you want so I\'m gonna lay low again.  I want yalls to feel free.  no bad feelings.  love all around.  
also
zurflu:  let me know when you are coming down and i think i can guestlist you.  as for the one finger keyboard part, I think we got it covered.  notice its on an original casio keyboard.

death blow my ass

your comments are starting to approach the yoda level of discourse these days dave. honestly. do I need to make an according to mkdevo thread now?

the trio was hag and on it\'s LAST leg

matt o saved the day and made it really sick again.

2008 produced some of the best shows and jams and original music this band has ever played

yea the break up was not ideal and he did leave them high and dry before the tour but he also kept it going and served as the bridge to bring the real keyboardist of this band back.  

Whatever happens to the breakfast in the future Matt O is pretty much personally responsible for me getting to enjoy at least 25 more awesome shows that I never thought I would.  So I wish him well even if chester french is a cheeze ball or whatever. good luck matt.

yea not to even mention that his presence allowed the band to stay together and find dangle when ronnie left which never woulda happened if it had gone down to just tim and adj.  

bottom line is that if matt had never been a member of the breakfast there would be no breakfast right now and there IS BREAKFAST RIGHT NOW regardless of anything else so good luck matt and thank you. hope the best comes your way creatively, financially and in all other respects.
