It's the fiiiiiiii-nal countdown

Tonight, Tonight... that's all I have to wait for Zeitgeist.

I hope this is as huge as I think it is. Tarantula is good, but I don't think there will ever be another Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness or another Machina again.

Billy was not the band.Their combined efforts made them what they were. Fuck you D'arcy and and James. For being total asses. And fuck you Billy, for being a self righteous prig. Anyways half the band's new, the name's old, hope the sound (and more importantly the lyrics) stays so too; and true to who they were and what they represented,

"For this heart's
A little bit older
Try to hold on
To this love aloud
And we are still alive
Try to hold on
And we have survived
Try to hold on
And no one should deny
We tried to hold onto the pulse of the feedback current
Into the flow of encrypted movement
Slapback kills the ancient remnants
That try to hold on
Try to hold on
To this heart alive
Try to hold on
To this love aloud
Try to hold on
And we are still alive
Try to hold on
And we have survived
Try to hold on
Pop tart
You never listen..."

Holding Thumbs

'We tried to hold onto the pulse of the feedback current

it's no matter that half the band is new. all that matters is zeitgeist gives me hope that those years of mellon collie, kurt, soundgarden aren't lost. they're not just a piece of a 90's theme party.

the resurgence of good music is at hand.

@ bazh: I KNOW :)

@Waseem: I believe that that could be interpreted as the end of TSP cos internet and mp3's(encrypted movement, feedback current) and the rise of the Britney types(pop tarts) with no clear aim or direction or depth with their music but flooding the market etc

@blog_critic: the very same grammatical error,yes does yield new results :)

@cujo: we can only hope. It's a sad day now that rock has descended into the likes of Linkin Park and Fall Out Boy. And people consider "crawling in my skin, this orange will not peel" 'deep' lyrics.

ahem...allow me to predict the future...

the album will suck. there will be none of the awesomeness that was/is/willalwaysbe Mellon Collie/the Airplane FLies High.

am i psychic? nope.

that awesomeness were products of sp. sp is no more. hence no more awesomeness. QED.

QED indeed Junaid, QED indeed :(

However, credits to them...after all this time, they still sound better than the horse crap that is Linkin Park :D
