My View on the SP v2.0
New line up,same name new band. Old Line up dead endangered species list. Fresh start Fresh Music. Glory days revisited not reliving them.
Residency tours... Playing together to master each others talents. Master new songs and revisit inspiration with old classics. Band to grow as a unit and see what cogs mesh, what works and does not work. Use all of these experiences to create and inspire new work, Write songs and play them the next day .Residency tour is not a greatest hit tour, old line up reunion. Fans all yelling b side MCIS SD on every interlude every break to me = frustration.
Expectations of band..... New band new songs new influence new beginning
Bands reaction New band play the old stuff?????? ok new stuff is better in arrangement and environmental stimulation i am confused. Every show this happens more frustration
Billy being Billy lets the emotions show and words flow.
For those who are frustrated by the comments put your self in BC and JC shoes for a minute and think about what they are trying to achieve and the reactions they have experienced. My opinion is that it would be frustrating trying to please every single member of a crowd with one of the biggest collections of work from any band and trying to create a new identity, after 7 years in the dark and no way of being able to release your thoughts with the labels hounding you for every inch of sweat and blood in your body. Trying so hard to be accepted in new ventures and being told all the way Its not the SP why bother dude. Try to get the band together again to start again after losing yourself your dreams and a life that was so hard to build to be not accepted when being told this is what you have to do by the public and media.
Frusssssstration !!!!!!
No need to agree with me it is only my thoughts and opinion.
Looking forward to SP V2.01
Going to buy the DVD if it comes Down Under and hope all those going to the shows think about how lucky they are when thousands of fans around the world would sell their soul to be in your shoes.
