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.
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.
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
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
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.
yeah im really surprised this didnt get a jones beach or pier 17 date. not going to jersey even though its on a friday.
Oh for sure, especially from Mark’s end for the rest of the band to basically be like “we’re not even gonna dignify this situation at all”
The band not acknowledging Mark is still so funny to me. Fred coming back would have never happened with Mark still around. Goodbye to that man
With all of the drama and little communication they've had over the years, I was very surprised and impressed with that video announcement. Aside from the meme on instagram this week, I thought it was really great and not like them to just sit down and speak openly about how it all came together. Props to them. Of course I'm giving them a pass on the lack of any Mark/Eddie talk because I feel like legal implications/negotiations are the biggest driver of that whole thing?
Imagine being a very casual fan of this band and all the whiplash that has occurred over the years. I imagine there will be tons of people who will show up to the tour unaware of this announcement and be SUPER confused as to what's going on lol
