I read this forum every day...it is my wake up reading and bedtime reading. Seriously though, there is so much negativity going on right now. It’s like we lost our rudder and are drifting in the wind. We complain that this vinyl wasn’t pressed with enough copies or they don’t tour near my town. Does anyone stop to think why there really is slowdown in PJ production?
It’s all about the buildup to something greater.
The fan base is being whittled away. The music is becoming more irrelevant by the day (not my opinion, just others). Merch has become a non- starter, no interest for life long fans. Setlists have become predictable and rather stale. The only thing we hold onto are our great experiences over the past 25+ years.
All of this has happened before and has been rectified by a new beginning with the band. What we are all forgetting is that PJ30 is coming up. What better way is there to invigorate a fan base than to starve them of what they love. Marketing genius in my opinion and I feel like we are all too stupid to notice what is going on here.
PJ30 will be epic....they know it. We just will bitch about the present tense and forget about the long road. We should all take a deep breath and realize what is really going on here...our favorite band reenergizing for an epic run in the next few years.
Peace and love...

I'm a relatively new "forum warrior" but man people get up in arms around here. I take as just general pent up energy since new music sucks for the most part. There aren't any real legends in the making out there in the rock world. My hope for some new kick ass music in 2019 rests in the upcoming Tool album. If Tool kills its after 13 years and Metallica killed it after 8 years without an album PJ will be just fine.
