And you too, Chris. BTW, you bes' be keepin' yo eyes off muh man! *shakes finger at you and jerks head from side to side* Don't make me rip yo' weave off yo' head and ho hoops out yo' ears!
this disappoints me greatly. have you become so jaded that you don't want to see one of the best bands from the 80's? yes, I know it's not edge anymore. yes, I'm sure it's all about money. and I'm ok with that. I was there in 89. I was there at what was apparently "the last show as a band". I don't know about you, but I ride my bike to start today. still. just like I did 16-17 years ago. I still get those same feelings when I hear those trumpets blare. that same chill up the spine at the harmonica. I still stage dive to feel alive. so I'm not going to "just let it go" and I really wish you wouldn't either.
I still love my old GB records, of course. I'm not saying stop liking the band as they were.
Personally, I just feel that most hardcore bands have a time and a place, and then should move on. Watching a bunch of 40 year-olds try to recapture their lost youth on stage (and charging The Kids for it) just wears me thin. Especially since they're all at a different place in their life than where they were when they wrote the original songs. How much meaning can a song have when you no longer believe in what you're screaming?
It's purely just my opinion, not an indictment of those who feel differently. We cool.
i don't know about you but alot of the issues i was dealing with 16 years ago still remain issues with me. It seems like all I've done is add more of them. SO i for one don't know if its fair to say if people are at a different place than they were when they wrote those songs. Walter still plays music to this day and he wrote those songs. In a recent interview (before a reunion was even a thought) walter said Start Today is still a record that he is proud of writing.
"Start Today" is a motto that you should follow whether you are 14 or 40.
