Bugger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cries* off the website.... State of the Union OK. We know we can't avoid this anymore so we will give it our best shot. What's the deal? The deal is that it simply didn't work out. Sometimes things just don't work out. In all honesty, we have broken up and rejoined roughly four times over the years. Perhaps that should shed some light as to where we are now. We really don't know. We do know that we really gave it everything we had this time and we actually made a really great record after so many years of silence. That was definitely a great thing and we are all proud of it. We were able to do a lot of shows and travel and see the world again. We had some amazing times. Why didn't it work out? So many reasons. Some of them over 15 years old, some of them new and none of them worth mentioning. Maybe we are just a volatile combination. Maybe that is why we were so great. The bottom line is that we are all extremely creative and motivated people and I know we will all continue to create and work on many different projects. After 20 years, just like in any relationship, you have your highs and lows and some amazing memories that can never be replaced. We were able to create great music together, and for that... We feel blessed. But sometimes relationships don't work, no matter how much time or energy you put into them... and at that point... you realize it is healthier to go your separate ways than to keep trying to recreate the magic of the early years. Sometimes people grow apart in the relationship, it is nobody's fault really... just a fact of life... an inevitable creative dissolution. Sometimes the best creative relationships are the most combustible and they aren't meant to last forever. We know this doesn't answer all of your questions, but hopefully it answers some of them. We would personally like to say, "thank you" for all of the love and support you have shown us over the years, we greatly appreciate it and we love you. Stephen, Dave & Chris *waaaaaaaaaaaaah*
Life's like that...! Whether you get back or not as Shakespeare once said.......... "Parting is such sweet sorrow" Been there done that, in way's I hope you never come to experience........ BUT... Live and live, and keep living and doing what feels right in your hearts, and then the burden will not be so heavy.... Whatever the reasons, "to your own self be true" hold on to that, and tread GENTLY....... And hopefully you will be able to smile when you reach 90.............. Life's like that...! My heartfelt commiserations at this time strawpuppy
Thank you Strawpuppy. I shall take your advice. Though I may have lost Jane's Addiction...their albums remain!!!
Whilst that may be true, I'm still scarred by the memory of being subjected to Janes Addiction on the way back from Faslane....
hey man...it was much better than having to listen to cat fucking stevens and the byrds for 6 hours... with a graceland interlude...which i did enjoy... but not cat fucking stevens or the byrds... and the beatles too...but i'm not allowed to slag them off...
You are treading a fine line here Mr JOsie Ooo Ooo thanks though cos you've reminded me to bring my Byrds and Cat Stevens collection along for the ride to Beautiful Days and back Muahahahahahaha
Wow...that could quite possibly be the best description of Sal's singing that I've heard! As for the Byrds and Cat Stevens...I hate the fucking Byrds...Dylan wannabes! Josie, lets bring some good music along like Against Me and hijack the CD player! I have a feeling it will be Muse all the way there and back if we are going in Steve's car
Oh and Emma...I'm so sorry for your loss....ah, I remember the day Take That split up...I didn't eat for days....it's a hard experience!
