I'm so down for this. That link about the Cody robbery just gave me same old bleh feeling I used to get when reading AP threads about stupid stuff that would happen, mostly surrounding him. Hopefully TDS can be about nothing but music this time.
I wish Tyler was involved, I feel like there was something missing after they lost him. He is so freaking talented and is the main reason why RFTS is one of my favorite albums.
golden record didn't really hit me the way their other two albums did, and i think at this point i'm just at a different stage of life so new music likely won't be able to mean the same thing to me anymore. but, it sounds like Cody might recognize how toxic he was to the group. hopefully everyone's just happy with wherever things are at/where they go.
In my opinion, it was the duo of Cody and AJ that made the band. They knew each other since high school. They've been through so much shit together. Yeah, they had friction at times. But that sort of friction makes for the best music sometimes. Cody had those signature guitar tones. AJ has amazing lyrics. They seemed to have that chemistry like how Bert & Quinn made The Used. Tom & Mark for Blink. Davey & Jade for AFI. Adam & John for TBS. Sonny & Matt Good for FFTL. Etc. Etc. I hope I'm proved wrong, but I do wish Cody was still in the band.
Yeah, begin teasing REFUNDS I hope!!! (Haha, remember - the crowdfunded documentary!) Sorry guys, just riffing here! I like the song 'war paint' a lot, very uplifting imo.
Just read that article about Cody and wow.. FUCK THAT GUY! I feel awful for the poor victim. I'll have to check out his music and maybe buy it if I dig it to help out. Musicians stealing from other musicians is as scummy as it gets. As far as TDS goes, I like some songs between their last three records but I won't ever give a dollar to the band. I've heard horror stories from people who've met them in the past and after seeing them rip off their own fans with that DVD? I don't know how any band could have the gull to do that and then come back? Smh Edit: found the victim's (Jacob) music and it's pretty good. Suggest people check it out.

Cody is gigantic piece of shit man. I get that you like his chemistry with AJ and you're right but him being back would cause too many issues. Plus, bad press isn't necessarily good in this case.
- 2 tour dates announced. 9/9 in Baltimore, 9/10 in Pittsburgh. - Re-signed to Hopeless Records. - AJ, Ben, and Matt - New music coming in 2018.
I made the mistake of letting this dude crash at my place a couple years back. Besides being the laziest/messiest houseguest in existence, he stole my roommates credit card out of his wallet when he was sleeping and used it to uber around town to score pills. Dude is the worst kind of scummy.
Holy shit at that burglary interview. I have met/shared the stage with Jacob at shows in SC years ago. Very good dude and Slow and Steady is great stuff. Glad TDS is happening again but a big resounding FUCK THAT GUY at Cody Payne.
Yeah I'm glad someone posted that, because the Slow and Steady record is fantastic. I mean, it obviously sucks for the dude. I wish it didn't happen. But I'm glad to have heard of him.
