FYI, that piano is done by a guy named Elton John.

I didn't see this being discussed anywhere else?

I entered the chat at TJT. I experienced the surprise of the new sound at AB but I've always wondered what it was like for someone who was a Boy-Oct-War fan to spin TUF for the first time. Was it a surprise? Was there any warning? What was your first reaction? Did it change over time?

Those entitled brats make me embarrassed for humanity. Like, I'm personally embarrassed.

I watched it. It may not musically blow me away but it delivered on FUN. I think people would have liked it.

Thanks for the fucking banjo link. Will check it out.

I think they did Vertigo acoustic on Ellen? If I'm right about that, it was meh but points for trying.

I think thry have had some shining acoustic moments. Wake Up Dead Man at Slane Stuck on Letterman We're bored of SATS but it had a lot of energy during PopMart EBW killed at the EMAs Anyway, while I do agree that acoustic isn't their native style, they have in fact pulled it off well here and...

I dunno about this family stuff. Other than Adam, they are mostly done. All of a sudden, they are busy with family? I have a teenager. I am waaaaaay less busy with family now than ten years ago. I just don't get this idea that suddenly they are parents are something. What they are is older...

Hi. I'm new, too. I'm more optimistic about a new album - I think 2022. That's 5 years after their last one. Also, while they probably aren't jamming together, I can't imagine B&E aren't bored enough to not be working on riffs and ideas to seed the next session.

Somebody put out The Edge?

It's even dorkier than any of those. "Ai" is the Chinese word for love.

In leiu of flowers, you may leave your condolences here.
