The Gaslight Anthem Band • Page 212

I think it's going to be a tour only, but it might be a little longer one than the last time. New music still feels like a pipe dream. Although as I said previously, the very prolific BF has put out preciously little music in the past 2 years........"so you're saying there's a chance!!"

 

Benny seemingly leaving Mercy Union lends credence to the idea that this is more than just a 2 week commitment

 

Granted, the past two years were not exactly helping the creative process.

 

he has put out an album and was live-streaming basically every week, it’s not like he was alex turner moving into a castle or something

 

Maybe they joined chorus, and saw some shit about how Jimmy Eat World are the most consistent songwriters and were like "alright bet"

 

New album + World Reunion Tour with Cold Years as support for Euro dates

 

This guy put out 9 full length albums of original material in a 13 year period (2007-2020). He recorded Local Honey in 2019. We are now in 2022.

Christmas album, live streams, whatever.

To me there is zero chance that in the last 3 years he has just stopped writing songs. In fact he probably has written a ton of them. It's not batshit crazy to think some of them could be Gaslight songs. But I digress.

 

or as support for all dates.

 

I'm here for that. Cold Years is so great.

 

You’re absolutely right.

 

I want it to be more than a tour, but I'm not expecting more than that.

 

i'm still hoping the Hold Steady announcement coming tomorrow is support for this tour

 

That crossed my mind too but the posts seem to imply something more Finn-solo based. Maybe Finn solo is the support

 

If Hold Steady is the opener for a Gaslight reunion tour I would probably need to hit A LOT LOT LOT of those shows because THS never comes anywhere near me anymore either

 

Going to not get my hopes up for anything more than a reunion tour, but I’ll just say that seeing that photo of all of them together made me happy.

 

My hopes are so high that a press release might kill me, so won't they kill me, so I die happyyyyy

 

I’d love new music, but I think a tour and announcement that they’re writing music and are back, is probably more realistic.

 

That would be an A+ Friday press release right there.

 

Gonna do a discography run this afternoon

 

hope you have alot of time on your hands.

 

its more of a discography shuffle lol

 

It’s amazing to hear how much Brian’s voice has changed since he quit smoking.

 

When did he quit?

 

^ Around this time

 

Around the time local honey came out i assume. He wrote "21" days about it, although most people interpret it to be about relationships, he has said it was about him quitting smoking.
