You know, I don't remember any talk about a new album or new songs a year ago when the boys wanted to do a 2012 tour. Wasn't it going to just be a cash-grab? Unleashed Two we were calling it. I thought Stevie deserved some credit for saying no to that. The extra year off gave LB some time to work on new music with Mick and John, and he had fun doing it, so maybe we should thank Stevie for that. But after Stevie and Lindsey spent 2012 doing the solo thing, there's no way they could do a new album without postponing this tour a bit longer. It's convenient to blame Stevie for the lack of new music, but when it comes down to it, I don't think the boys were willing to wait any longer to pad their bank accounts.
