It's for this that it's a bit hard to take all your threats and bitching about the band seriously. I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying in regards to how they should've handled this and think most people agree with what you say, but would you indeed have stayed true to your word you'd not have had to experience this drama regarding the show at Mohegan Sun. It's really that simple. No one's putting a gun to your head telling you that you have to buy tickets, yet you still seem to do so.
It's for this that I don't get America die hards in general. They're fully aware on how Jon flat out refuses to throw them a bone at every show, yet many go to multiple shows and leave them thinking "Well it was alright but not what I hoped it to be". If it's rarely what you hope it to be, then why bother to begin with? It's why I stopped going to the shows in 2005 and only started going to more shows once you were guaranteed to get something good on this side of the pond. Wouldn't that have been the case there's no way I'd be going to Milan this year.

Get off of it. You trash the band more than anyone, yet you still go to as many shows as you can each tour. What's your excuse?
As for Mohegan, what choice did I have if I wanted to see the band? They didn't play Boston Garden this time. It was Mohegan or nothing for this leg. As for Foxboro, I don't know where you're getting your info from, but I've seen them 3 times there and always been very happy with the show put on. The set lists may be nothing special, but Jon seems to really enjoy playing that venue and always has a boat load of energy for it.
This board is becoming a cesspool of hypocrisy. One person can say something that they contradict later (happens all the time on message boards - people DO change their minds) and they get torn a new asshole because of it. Then you've got others (such as yourself) whose story changes to fit his own personal needs at the time. You know I've got nothing against you, but let's face it, nobody really takes you seriously anymore. You can only cry wolf so many times, and you've posted more BS lies about things you "know" that it's impossible to tell where the hell you're coming from. And it's sad. This board used to be the one place we could air our opinions without fear of respite from wacko Backstagers. Now, no matter what you say, you've got SOMEONE giving you shit for it.
With that, I bid you a fond adieu for a while. Message boards about bands we like are supposed to be fun. This one is not fun anymore. More stressful than anything. I'm a chameleon and I know it. I change my mind quite often, and I can be very passive aggressive when it comes to things I'm passionate about. I can accept that most members on this board don't want someone like that around, and no one wants to stick around where they're not wanted. At least, no one who has an ounce of pride. So, everyone enjoy their show. Let's hope the band gets back on track in the live setting. I'll be back in the summer.
