funny how these threads get side tracked. NMAS, 4 years 6 years, whatever...my point is that a tour without a new record might be exactly what this band needs. I too have been a fan for 20 years and think that the last 2 or 3 records were sub par for this band. A tour where they are not obligated to play new material would be great. probably very inspiring. Older material and a bigger mix from night to night. A new record would be a year out most likely. But with a tour in front of it, new material would be far better then that of the last 2 records. I would much rather see them work ideas out for on the road for as long as it takes than to see them collaborate in the studio and come out with more of the same.
