  "Victory" extended intro redux!! heh heh.

Surprise would be good. But if they're looking for inspiration, I hope Geordie and BPF refer first to Fire Dances LP and Unspeakable, Youth to Pssyche and Unspeakable, and Jaz to Pandemonium LP (considering the current condition of his voice).

  examples to reference but, all the same....
  Surprise me, KJ.

  I agree with your point -- and I'm hoping for a healthy bit of creative tension rather than mutual pats on the back. 

But as far as public comments go, I don't know how much we should ever read into them, considering the interests of humo(u)r and self-promotion. If I had such a public working relationship with some of my old friends, I'd be disappointed if they *didn't* jab me in a few interviews as a fat geography teacher. Youth was credited on KJ2003 but didn't want to tour -- that's fine ... then expect some public ribbing! As an answer to "where's Youth on this tour?" that's more entertaining than: "Well, we have two bass players. Raven was more eager and free."

I can't see them NOT working as a proper four-piece Really? 

Imagine the politics. I mean, I remember reading articles 

where Jaz  has slagged Youth off (Geography teacher comments 

etc), he mentioned what  happened to cause the original split 

on the Gathering DVD, BPF hasn't been  in the band or really 

in much contact with Jaz for 20 years from what I  know...I 

can't imagine under the circumstances that all that stuff 

just goes  away. You'd feel on tenderhooks if you were BPF 

wouldn't you? Jaz seems to  be the unquestioned alpha, and 

alphas don't like sharing their alpha  status...and I wonder 

what Youth would be thinking? Long time since he was  with 

them, during which Jaz has said that Raven has better stage 

presence,  is willing to give more, and Youth looks like a   Geography teacher...ouch. A  joke I know, but not one I'd 

appreciate being on the end of.     This is all just my 

perception, from what I have read and seen...but I had a  

similar falling out (except we weren't a legendary band, 

we were just mates  who worked together ;), with my best 

friend...I was his best man and all.  And I can't imagine 

ever bothering with him again. I dunno if I'd ever trust  

someone again after a major falling out. So...I dunno. I 

suppose I'd be  surprised if it works well for an extended 

period of time. There comes a  point where it's extremely 

easy to say get fucked and mean it.    Really anything could 

happen...it's one of the few things I'd bother to  watch 

if it was made into reality tv.

Subject: Re: [kj] Geordie's solo album    There's gonna be some *serious* expectations of this new album!    I can't see them NOT working as a proper four-piece, all contributing.  Hopefully Youth & Big Paul will counter balance Jaz & Geordie, that's  ASSuming Jaz & Geordie have enjoyed a monopoly since The Big Split, which is  open to conjecture... Personally, I think they have, a little, though  interrupted by irrepressibles like Twatkins' input to Extremities.
