This is what will happen with the Philly boots...

Listen up people, this is exactly how the Philly bootlegs release is going to go down. I promise that if you follow these simple steps you will get through this...

1. People will continue to bitch and moan every day until a release date is announced

2. The boots will go on sale - CD/DVD/blu-ray/box set, who cares as long as they get released?!? - then 5 seconds later the site will crash beause everybody just has to get their order in before everybody else on the very second they go on sale. Cue more bitching followed by everyone posting a copy of their confirmation email a few minutes later

3. People will then bitch EVERY SINGLE DAY about how long it's taking for the boots to be delivered until they finally arrive

4. European fans will then spend another couple of weeks waiting (and bitching about the wait)

5. Dimitris will carry on trying to comfort and reassure people but it's a losing battle my friend!

6. UK fans will then get stung for a ridiculous import charge (if 2x London boots incured an £11 charge, how much extra will we have to pay for a box set?!?)

7. When everybody has, eventually, received their Philly goodness (probably in January) we can all then carry on with our normal daily lives... In other words, we can get back to the really important stuff like spreading rumours of a 2010 tour/Soundgarden reunion/pics where Boom's dad looks hot etc

Please note that this is not in any way intended to be a negative post (I will almost certainly be following steps 3, 4, 6 and 7 myself!) I just wanted to help you guys plan out the next few weeks of your lives

:D peace :D

    This seems to speak from a verrrrry long experience here on the board..... :P
    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets,
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself

    There's no reason to block it. Just some friendly Saturday night sarcasm while we wait for the boots! :)

    LOL!!! :lol:

    It's so true.... except for the last step, that will also include bitching about how the bootlegs don't sound as good as the 2000 boots, or the 2003, or the 2006, or even the 2008, depending on the person :D

    Now, back to waiting... :twisted:

    You forgot the most important step:

    The constant threads of people bitching about the people bitching about the Philly boots and how long it takes to get them.

    Ok, so now that they have decided to come to Europe I guess we'll need to change point 7...

    How about the mysterious Backspacer EP instead then? That's always good for some rumours... :D
