sounds like someone **** in your cereal. if you want to know so friggen bad, just ask. i don\'t see why its so hard to merely ask what the deal without insulting the band and their entire northeast fanbase. granted, i know, you\'re a dick. but you could at least work on not being a dick for once in your life. since you were the one with the great idea of suggesting to them to take a break, why don\'t you just consider the time being them taking your vastly knowledgeable advice and move on. now someone pass me some **** kool-aid.
Hey fuckwad. Do you know what thread you\'re posting in?
leith, you\'re just pissed becasue the Message is dunzo. I\'m scared for the bitching you must\'ve put your boys through at the end of Maiden Tour \'87

Dude Chris could easily sing that song so don\'t even get me started.
As for Maiden yeah I was pissed to hear synth **** on Somewhere in Time and then when they added Keys to Seventh Son I was rip **** like you have no idea but they never wrote me back after I bitched so I ate more acid and went to more Dead shows. It always seemed like Jerry would play whatever I wanted to hear and that was pretty cool.
If the boys need a break, they need a break! Don\'t get me wrong, I\'d love to see a bunch of local shows, they\'re cheaper for one, but I don\'t mind the side projects at all. Every one I go to is better than the last... I don\'t even know how it\'s possible sometimes! Any way you look at they\'re keeping the local music scene buzzing around here, I couldn\'t be happier! And Breakfast tunes are great solo acoustic... nobody else could do \'em solo acoustic & come anywhere near what I\'ve heard Tim come up with. Anyway... Sully\'s Breakfast was OFF THE WALL good times!!
I\'ve gotten used to checking out maybe 2-4 shows per year for the last two years. I\'ve often felt that the camaraderie of fans transcends whatever gap of time exists between the shows. I think that as long as they play every month, noone should complain, and should try hard to get to the show(s).
The realistic truth of going or being broke hits us all these days. This is really just an example of balancing one\'s needs and wants as compared to the practicality of travel and time costs. I\'m just glad that I\'ve seen them more than 4 times during this past year!

:lol: That\'s cool for you but I could not care less about keeping the New Haven local music scene buzzing and I\'m sure there are plenty of Breakfast fans that feel the same.
It just seemed to me that if they decided to not tour at least playing local shows would be an option. Guess not.
I\'m resigned to the fact that they have decided to be a regional band and if I want to see a show I\'ll have to spend the dough to fly across the country. Now with the band not playing many shows it becomes that much harder to plan a trip w/ enough notice to get cheap flights etc.

I hear ya, it\'s a damn long way from Cali, I may move out west for a while, don\'t know what I\'ll do without the music. It blows that they can\'t afford or don\'t have the time off to get out there right now. Gas, hotels, food, fun, life... it all costs money, I don\'t know what they make per date or any specifics, but it must be expensive to tour, especially in this day & age. I don\'t think they\'ve resigned to being a regional band, they\'ll be touring again most likely (nothing in life is certain). I think they just needed to step back for a minute and re-assess their situation. The bands been through quite a bit in the last few years. I & all the B-fam wants to see \'em out on the road, livin\' the life, getting bigger & bigger (except that I like the prices and knowing there\'ll be room for us all at the show!). Here\'s to them gettin\' back on the road... :chug:

To the bolded points. They are a regional band at least for this year. Adrian posted such awhile ago.
As for them getting bigger. This is as big as this band is getting. They are not a viable touring entity anymore and in this scene if you don\'t tour you don\'t make it.
I have thought for a long time that the band would become a Max Creek type of band that will play for decades but only in their home region. They will have all sorts of local respect and the musicians in the national scene will love them but that\'s about it.
That can be seen as success as they will be creating music for years to come but for many it will be a disappointment as this band should of been heard by so many more people.
Of course things could always change drastically should someone win the lotto, or a big band picked them up as an opener, they change their minds and hit the road for months at a time(:lol: yeah right).
