Why do you think it's okay to talk to people this way?

I agree that the choice of words in responses can be better utilized with more cognizant thinking yet as of late,
some of the opinions on this board have been so outlandish and misinformed frankly I completely understand the frustration. I certainly support objective opinions but I find some of the views to be on the cusp of comedy.

As usual you did not read what I was writing...but I forgive you

Jon is a contender for what? SUrely not for a great singer and frontman anymore. I applause his charity work though. Maybe he should put even more effort in that. Musically he is done. THINFS and those performances lateley prove that immensely

It is all about quality not numbers. Even RD says Jons voice is shot. Jon even sings it in one of the new songs. Sure the record is a matter of taste but you cannot say they are still top notch performers when the voice is shot and the singer is glued in front of the mic 90% of the show.

Look, I know Rouge One won't be as good as the original trilogy going into this movie. It's impossible for anything to touch those movies... I will enjoy the movie as a standalone film and just hope it could match my expectations... There are always those annoying fans who just live in the past and see everything as black or white... There is no grey... You are that dude...
The Rising ain't no BTR but it surely holds a candle to his older stuff. And he did not sell out and is doing a COldplay imitation just like BJ does. It is believable. Put WAN or THINFS beside the first 5 records. The dropping in quality is shameful. Don't live in denial. All you guys say "yes they are mediocre now but I can live with it". Why should I lower my standards and accept the current sad state of a "Band" - just because they were great 20 years ago???? ? I heard someone sing "farewell to mediocrity"......

TAALS is a great ballad - bluesy with an edge. Surely not one of this "BJ by numbers" stuff.

YOu took the words right out of my mouth

You ignored me last time. So I'll ask again - why are you here? If they're done with music, why sign up and post 120+ times in less than a week? The majority of which are criticising and, more significantly, taking pot-shots at Jon and the band?

Simply because refusing to lower standards and accept reality while still actively following the band in forums and whatnot results in being a miserable whiner and one with no better use for its time and energy.

An analogy that comes to my head is a woman who complains about her husband being abusive while he's still her husband. Accept the new reality or move on.
