    They need to get back together and put out a new album and tour again. This video doesn't even come close to how amazing they are in concert. Nobody puts on a show like them except maybe the Stones, in my opinion and experience.

      I would love that too, but we as fans must remember that bands are like families. Sometimes they need to go their separate ways no matter how much it hurts, sometimes it is just time to say "Goodbye." Goodbye lads, know that your music is appreciated and your fans wish you well, wherever the tides have taken you.

    Alan Doyle was a great guy...til he started hanging with Russel Crowe , a bad rabble rowser if there ever was one. Too much drinking, fighting and just bad attitude. I hope Alan got away from that and got his act together. He trashed Sean for drugs and alcohol, not knowing Sean's past being sexually abused.
