Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 563

hope that john and the fam are OK, sounds like he truly just needs a break. glad they seem like theyre in a good place on it.

 

The video implies it's just for the tour and then there's a vague mention of "opportunities" for the future.

 

the mark and eddie stuff must have been so fucking ugly behind the scenes if they so quickly produced a professional announcement video for this lmao

jeez


thats TBS babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

Taking Back Sunday Officially Bring Back Fred

full press release

 

Mark O'Connell?

 

Reiterating again that I’m in the camp that’d love a lineup with both John and Fred (after things get more stable with John’s family of course). A lot of potential for what they could do both live and on record with both of those guys working alongside Adam.

 

the 152 touring cycle has been long, good on these guys for sticking it out the best they can and rolling with the punches.

 

Them all having matching suits (something mitch or Nathan havent been a part of) for promo pics and being intrigued by 3 guitars going forward implies more than a tour to me personally, BUT you are the GOAT of this thread right now, and so much betta den me.

 

I'm not betta than anyone lol, I already shared everything I knew, you make good points

 

very excited for the holiday shows to potentially be john's return to the stage and i assume they'd feature fred too. TBS fans are feasting this lovely friday.

 

Who's the person that informed us of this like 6 months ago? Because I will believe anything else they say in the future.

 

John is doing a Straylight Run set at WWWY, so I'd imagine they all play that fest together.

 

please put some respect on @lenny my age

 

Really exciting stuff. Would love to have Fred and John on an album together at some point down the road, too.

It's crazy that Fred was really only in the band for like 3-4 years. He had such a big impact on my favorite music from the band that it feels like it was much longer

 

i was thinking the other day how john and shaun were only out of the band for like 6-7 years and they've been back in the band again for 15 years now lol

time do be wild

 

Did TBS ever formally acknowledge Mark left the band? Seems like Mark just posted it on instagram.

 

15 years!? Jesus, way to make me feel old, man lol

 

s'old.

 

nope

 

Any idea what’s going on with John? Really hope him and his family are okay, he looks actually pained in that video a bit

 

I think he's probably said all he'd like to say about it.

 

Yeah, I mean, for all we know, nothing is wrong at all and he just wants to spend time with his family. Im sure touring is exhausting as hell

 

yeah its not for us to speculate about, they've been touring this cycle pretty non-stop for almost 2 years. its gotta take a toll.

 

All due respect to Fred because his era with TBS is obviously undeniable, but I just always want John in TBS, so long as he wants to be. Hopefully a break is just a break and the Nolans benefit greatly from this.

 

I'm bummed this tour isnt coming anywhere near me, but I feel like they've really alluded in that video that Fred is going to be a part of more than just one tour.
