Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 513

In the comments, Mark confirmed he and Eddie have already worked on stuff.

 

I feel like everything about the 152 promo was “Mark had this idea…” like all the stuff being record on Long Island, etc. and even in the VIP Q&A sessions, Adam mentioned Mark a lot of times and how he brought so many different things to the table etc

 

I guess there's that ex-member collab everyone wanted so bad.

 

this has 1,000% nothing to do with any of the mark stuff

 

That’s what I remember as well, so I’m very curious to hear what they come up with without him, and potentially with Fred if there’s ever a possibility they write and record with him again.

 

Probably more of a Self-titled feel? That's my guess.

 

The spring Coheed tour is all B markets. They could probably still announce this new tour since it'll be in major markets (and probably the official "new album" tour).

 

That statement is so funny. Want to focus on positive while his song is clearly super negative. But, okay. At least it’s official now, I guess? Time to move on until the next wild thing his “friends” say.

 

It seems like his buddy/producer deleted all those comments where he called fans gay and insulted their genitals.

 

I would love that. The self-titled has aged really well in my eyes.

 

This is all of us seeing Mark made an official statement, but then reading it:



But I'm glad it was relatively chill. Like others have said, he probably didn't write it completely by himself, and that's for the best. Although a lot of damage to his character has already been done so it feels a bit too little too late.

 

A lot of this has sort of instigated me looking back on past drama and realizing that the viewpoint I had back in those years ("Adam is sort of melodramatic and likely caused a lot of these flame-outs through his actions") was likely largely inaccurate, or at the very least the situation was vastly, vastly more complicated than I thought, and that also Adam had probably grown up since those years, and a lot of people likely did not/have had other issues.

 

Echoing others... I'm selfishly kinda sad that it ended as "maturely" as it seems to have after all the build up from the weekend, but it was the right thing to do I suppose.

Also, as stated, incoming Mark and Eddie project is obvious at this point... I wonder what happens when Antonio joins them.

 

Or Adam’s just a control freak penis

 

weird posts!

 

What I've learned (which is largely evident by the AP Oral History) is that Eddie and Mark were the ones causing a lot of drama.

 

Who honestly cares about Antonio Longo in 2025? What sort of insight would he have from his time in the band ... 25 years ago ... that he feels the need to insert himself into this?

 

1999 all over again!

 

99.8% of people don't even know who Antonio is or that he was ever involved in the band haha

 

I kinda liked "Lullaby"

 

Considering Eddie's stuff I find it weird he throws his sobriety in there like it was a problem with TBS, seems hard to imagine. Anyways I wasn't looking forward to it getting uglier and glad that's seemingly the end of it

 

It is kind of weird how many times I've been at a TBS show and somebody in the audience yells for Summer Stars...

If he's been working with Eddie, who seems to still have an issue with TBS, I don't find it all that weird that he would throw it in there as a little dig, especially after everything that happened over this weekend. It still does feel like finger pointing and not fully accepting that your actions while not sober may have played a role in how things unfolded, too. I know that not taking responsibility is a big part of struggling with addiction but this (and honestly, the way Eddie still acts after it's been many, many years) feels very telling to me. I hope that he finds the support he's looking for, and it seems that at least one person is looking out for him with the way this is worded relatively drama-free (and the absence of some of the comments on the old posts either being deleted by him or the person who wrote them).

 

Would be wild if TBS didn’t release any statement at all

 

The fact this was released without something accompanying it from them/wasn't immediately shared by their accounts, makes me wonder if they even knew this was coming today. I have to imagine they've had something drafted for a little bit now, but there's probably a lot of calls happening behind the scenes before they hit post on something, especially if they want to make any changes to what they planned to say based on what happened this weekend and the wording of Mark's post.

 

why do they need to? mark issued a statement. it is fully time to move on and passed it.
