I don't know why, but i'm gonna apologize in advance (probably because
i'm planning on using foul language.)
I've been on this list a long time (a LONG time). Don't take that as me
saying i'm better or more intelligent or anything, i'm just saying that
i've been around the block here a few times. (If i thought i was better
than you, i'd tell you straight up :-) ). I've heard complaints about
TRT come and go. I heard complaints about HIFTBSO. And through it all
i've just kind of chuckled on the inside.
how many of you have seen them live? those of you who have are quite
lucky. I myself have been the lucky member of about 8 shows. Every
single show was awesome. every fucking song that they played was off
the hook amazing. I don't care how it sounded on the record, live,
those songs held up and they fucking rocked the house.
now... how many of you were around when there was no SDRE? either
before or after the break up, doesn't matter. Remember how much it
sucked to love the band so much, but it really didn't matter because
they weren't there? Remember how fucking great it felt when we heard
that they were back in the studio? remember that show at the moore
theater where there wasn't a dry eye in the house?
through all your complaints of TRT (and even HIFTBSO), would you rather
go back to the days where there WAS NO sdre? would you rather be robbed
of those live shows? miss out on those moments of pure elation and
sorrow at the same time? remember that this means that you will never
have the chance to see the "old" songs be played either...
i don't think so.. and if you do, then you shouldn't waste your time
with this mailing list. so... don't tell me how much you think TRT
sucks. it's a mute point and i could give a fuck. just be happy that
they're playing music (and that will's not a foo fighter).
