Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 567

Finally made it back to watching the longer video where they talk about Fred coming back and man, I hope John is okay. This is understandably a tough topic for him to talk about and props to all of them for making such an honest video and being so up front about it.

It is goofy how they reference "3 guitars" like they didn't do that for years already though.

Don't think I'll be able to make it to the tour, but looking forward to seeing some footage and hearing how they sound.

 

TBS didn’t get to fully utilize Fazzi’s skills. His Happy Body Slow Brain album is so solid

 

I miss Straylight Run

 

A little biedy has told me you’ll be in luck later this year outside of WWWY.

 

Go on…

 

I know they'll be dropping a new song on that compilation CD of John's but if there's more coming besides that, I'm even more hyped!

 

“And you never once busted out a TREOS cover. Not once!”

 

Mark once said he thought Fazzi’s ideas sucked but these songs are great and if given the chance to have the TBS spin put on them, something special could’ve happened there

 

i love when people say things like

"Fred was the best part of the band"

"Fazzi was under utilized"

listen. i love both those dudes and i REALLY loved fazzi, but if they were so incredible at what they did, their careers after would have taken off as well.

 

Eh, talent does not equate to success all the time.

 

So did Mark just hate everyone lol

 

He probably hated Fazzi because he was better than him

 

Fazzi is really talented, but I don't think his music style was really the best fit for what TBS had in mind at the time. Plus the personality clash seems to have been an issue.

 

John once tweeted something like "you don't miss Straylight Run. You just miss being young." And I definitely do not miss being young. But I do miss Straylight Run.

Hoping they do another double duty at the holiday show this year or a few select dates leading up to WWWY outside of the Vegas sideshow.

 

Do you think Mark has spent any time wondering why he is so much better?

 

sadly this is not how the music industry has ever worked.

 

Prices for their WWWY sideshow were too steep for me. Was mainly planning to go to see Straylight- I'll just be happy with their festival set, lol.

 

Totally. The label wouldn't even let him sing on the album and he has a crazy good voice

 

Currently just a few shows, that I know of. I think one is in New York and another is in Chicago. I think it’s something they may leave the door open for. I know Will Noon is not returning for any of the planned shows.

 

Is Noon not even doing the WWWY shows?

 

Does that mean…


…Mark is playing with them?

 

From what I know he’s not on the show with them.

 

Damn, this hurts my heart. Love his drumming and was always hoping to see him in another band (or in a dream scenario, if he wanted to do it, in TBS after Mark)

 

I didn't realize that the fees were included in the price it showed me initially and was shocked at first by the $94 GA price tag. Then I got to the check out page and it showed me the base ticket was about $70 and for a line up with three bands that I know will entertain me, that felt like a decent deal. But I can see that being too steep for a lot of people.

 

fixed.
