Also, I noticed on the HAND tour that jon is slowing down; his vocal range is waaay down and his presence, though better than most, isn't what it used to be. I know many of you consider this to be blasphemous, but I was wondering what direction you think the band should go in? Their recent success is impressive but is more of a nod to the loyalty of their fans. I still believe they have one monster album left in them. So I guess what I am really asking is: How can the boys re asert themselves the next time around (I guess I am hoping for an aerosmithee-sque comeback when they released 'get a grip')?
