With this band and this Jon I dont think it is very cool to tour on this music anymore.Maybe a Rock In Rio every 2-3 years is ok. Otherwise I would prefer a switch in style, some more original stuff and anything that fits Jon's personality and capabilities at the moment. And go around playing theaters, it is nice also. For the sake of art, as mentioned before.

You probably meant 'nostalgia act'?
I guess that's also one of the reasons we still get stuff like LH, WLOL, Crash, ILTT etc. all the time. Jon wants to proof in some way that they aren't a nostalgia act yet. Which they actually are, at least outside of the hardcore fan base. Most of the older rock acts are, but pretty much all the others don't try to deny that so desperately.
