I'm not sure which thread to post this in, since the topic is popping up in so many of them, but regarding the fans not wanting new music:
I'm not trying to defend the band's statements, but they aren't totally off base. When we say "fans," we are talking about ourselves, Ledgies and others just like us. And yes, we want new music. But we are a pretty small group of people. When the band talks about fans, they are talking about the thousands of people filling those arenas each night, and those people are there for the old staples. When I saw the SYW tour, it was shocking how many people went for beer or bathroom breaks when Lindsey was doing "Come," and when I saw the TISL tour, there was plenty of grumbling on the way out about Stevie's omission of "Landslide."
