There are far more good songs to me on What About Now than there are on Aftermath - Water, I'm With You, What's Left Of Me, Beautiful World - their all really solid tracks whereas Aftermath for me only has Seven Years Gone.

Aftermath has some nice guitar work but that's all it is - just a burst of random guitar that almost doesn't even seem to be part of the song it's connected to.

New Jon article that mentions Richie again, think its fairly recent but nothing new apart from ruling out there is no official date LOL

"Same thing I've said since day one -- personal issue. We miss him, love him and he's welcome to come back when he's ready, and that's all I can tell ya...There's not a definitive date. It's up to...He's going through some stuff...It's difficult for me, too, but that's the story."

Or is that just the story they're sticking to?

He denied the rumour that the clothing line would be the reason. But that's all.

I actually posted this two pages ago. Nobody pays attention to me. *cries*

I'm just surprised it wasn't TheseDaysEra who posted it again. Give it a day or two...

Oh my love!!!
I'm here for you. I always read your posts.
please don't cry :))

I'm here to wipe your tears :p:D:D

Think this Tictoc fella has some Independence issues. Or perhaps he's a touch xenophobic?

Thanks for posting this for the first time ever in this thread. :D

I never even noticed the post. Actually I don't like anybody over anybody. If there's something to bash Jon for I'll do it except right now he's being the professional and Richie's not - I may come across as a Jon defender because well, he takes a lot of stick on here that isn't necessarily always deserved. I've just no interest in jumping on the hate-Jon bandwagon - but can appreciate why it comes across like I prefer one band member over the other. In reality, I'm a fan of the music. That's the be all and end all of it.

As to your other pretty needless comments - I like Irn-Bru. On the fence about independence.
