In support of the next album...

When the next album comes out, the band should do several "mini tours" rather than one huge American or world tour.

After seeing them this year, it seems like Eddie's voice holds up better and all the band members have more energy when they do a short burst of shows, rather than one giant tour. They should take a good 3 weeks or so off in between each mini tour to give them time to rest and whatever.

Although it may take longer for them to get to each region, it would probably allow them to cover more ground in the long run.

    What ever PJ decides to do is good with me! I just know I'll be there, somewhere! :)
    "I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."
  • As long as they show some love for Atlanta, which I dont see why they wouldnt given they have played some pretty amazing shows down here

  • There is a little corner of the world that has been waiting over 10 impatient years now for a return visit...
    So just to clarify things for everyone the next tour will start in New Zealand!!
  • Toronto and London (in the summer... I want to visit my friend in the summer anyway) would be a dream come true for me. I would move summer school over and all. I don't even care, I'd push my studies back to see them in London. Mmmmmm.
  • Canadian Tour again.

    Please?
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
