    I've taken too many screenshots of my phone at 43% battery...too many.

      Nice, but you'd have to take a pic at 57% for it to really be 43% burnt. Cheers!!!!

      @@johnnyscifi yeah billy is a 10/10 drummer, but that's not the point, its a calculating infinity reunion and Chris is the originator of this style of drumming and co-wrote everything with Ben and basically invented a genre back in the late 90s. I wish Ben and Chris could sort out their beef and be cool again. To me, Chris deserves to be behind the kit for this reunion. Why get Dimitri again but not Chris? Seems weird to me.

    Lmao so much for last show in 2017 😂 When bands announce “last show ever” they end up coming back to do couple more and they’ll just end being a year round band, just no tours only to become a band that plays few select dates on festivals.

    • @jerryrose9472
      @jerryrose9472 2 місяці тому +2

      I think given how long Demitri has been out of the game they probably won't try to push the set too long, but I'm hoping they play stuff off Under the Running Board.

    Dimitri was by far the better lyricist and vocalist compared to Greg. I always felt Greg's lyrics were juvenile and unmoving, and he never quite knew when not to sing.
