    Yeah this is crazy. Never have seen anything like it... But I totally see where he's coming from. I hope it doesn't affect him during live shows this fall. If he really is ready to be a lead singer, he shouldn't let fans get under his skin.

    It's probably good that he is getting angry before writing the next record, always makes them better. :thumbup: 8-)

    Not sure, but they killed Saturday night at Irving plaza. Amazing

    The show Saturday was definitely being recorded. Fingers crossed for a live release. There was a moment on Saturday when Brian told someone in the crowd that the setlist had been decided upon. He was smiling though. Didn't seem like it bothered him. I completely get what he is saying on the tumblr post though.

    And they have been touring relentlessly for over a year now, they probably do need a break.

    Brian tried to so the same thing on Sunday night, but it didn't work out so good. He then asked the audience if they would like to hear a Bon Jovi cover, to which some people boo-ed and yelled 'Bruuuuce' instead. Then he said something to the effect of, 'well if you don't want to hear the cover songs we want to play, then we are only gonna play our songs.' I think they then finished up the set, went off the stage mad, and wrote the blog post..

    The blog post was a bit pissy, I do get where he's coming from, but at the end of the day if you choose to wear your influences on your sleeve to the extent that they have (far more than most bands) then it is kind of to be expected. Perhaps a bit naive to think you can write a record that gives more than a nod to your home town hero, share a stage with him, and then expect people to forget about it. And to be fair it's not like they didn't benefit from that exposure.

    They'll be fine though, they just need a decent break to go off and come up with something fresh.

    I love this band. Maybe because they are from where I'm from makes me like than more. I just want to see them succeed. I wasn't there last night but was Friday. I've seen them 10 times in the past year and I can tell you that I'm not shocked but Brian's statements. They are burnt outa little. At least he is.

    I think the problem is they need to figure out what band they want to be. Do they want to be a "punk" band that tours constantly and plays places like Pier 26 and Irving plaza? Do they want to be Pearl jam? They have said both and it's brian steering the ship, so he had to decide before they fade out. This band can be huge. They will be. Brian just needs to develop thicker skin.

    Take some time. Get focused and come back the band you want to be.

    Believe so, I just got the email yesterday with links to renewals. Honestly, it looks like you just buy the package again and they keep your old number active.

    Hopefully the fan club steps it up a little in the 2nd year. There still isn't an official forum...

    I'm too young to be a Springsteen fan and too old to be a Gaslight fan... well, that's my theory anyway... they seem like respectable musicians, but they don't do much for me and I'm okay with that.

    And I know Springsteen has fans of all ages, but I was weaned on Van Halen and Quiet Riot so I just can't get into anyone who doesn't want to crank out some obnoxious guitar distortion now and then.

    I still like it.

    Even though it's half-bullshit, because I actually have many of Springsteen's earliest albums... I have everything from Asbury Park to Nebraska on CD... I just rarely listen to them...

    and here's another thing... not too long ago I saw a video of Brian Fallon performing No Surrender with Bruce Springsteen at some festival (Glastonbury?) and I thought it was really really cool... you could tell Brian was emotional but he held his own and delivered the verses he had to sing awesomely.......
    he dances kinda funny tho... heheh...

    I may be primarily into heavy shit, but I can appreciate shit like that... youngsters rocking out with their musical heros.... I dunno... sometimes I listen to really mellow stuff so maybe I should shut the fuck up... never mind me... I type pointless shit sometimes... I guess because it's the fucking internet and it's easy to do...
