What is it that keeps you hangin on??

- I will forever be grateful to this band for getting me through the hardest times. Their words speak to me, telling me not to give up.

- I have loved them since I was a kid. I'll never forget the first time I heard Always - it gave me chills and I became obsessed with it. And These Days was the first album from them I heard, which I loved even then, and would get my sister to replay.

- I really care about them as individuals. That may sound lame to some people, because I don't know them, but it's true. They are like old friends I guess. I'm sure some of you will know what I mean...

- I chose not to dwell on the songs I don't like from them. Do I wish they would do another NJ or TD? Hell yes. But those albums still exsist today. I'm just grateful that I still have those that I can listen to. I don't have to listen to TLFR - that's the great thing about having the freedom of choice. I may get negative about them at times, but I'm still always grateful that those older albums exsist.

- Eventhough they aren't in their prime, some of the new sh!t is still a lot better than most other music produced these days , IMO.

Sweet thread.

I think it's 'cause I found an artist I can relate to, y'know?

Just can't do that with Jovi, I find Well, I can't, obviously others can.

How do you keep with them for a decade?

Well, I can't lie and say I didn't cheat on them. There were others.

Jake looks down on you

Shutup! He's smiling at me!

No, no, I'll be honest. I'm at the same point as you actually. But I feel I gave it a better run than you. So there.

No, no, actually... I haven't given up on them, because I'm not really waiting for them to do anything.

4 years is a long time dammit.

Most modern marriages don't last that long.

This is a very good and valid point. But I still gave it a better run than you. I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW ALBUM!

Oli - actually try listening to them?

Heh, I can't anymore. I'd be listening to them just for the sake of it.

I'm not even sure if These Days is in my top 3 favourite albums anymore
