It’s tremendous cool to expertise in spite of everything these years.

Thanks @deathtotravis @melisssawalton @chris.waiau @coreykoniz and extra thank yous within the feedback under.”

To me, if the band was nonetheless a band, and a few of these guys, clearly [original members Brian] Benoit [rhythm guitar], [Chris] Pennie [drums] and Adam [Doll, bass] aren’t [part of the reunion shows], but when, if Dimitri and Ben had been, like, ‘Hey, we wanna do some ‘Calculating Infinity‘ reveals, what am I gonna do?

So I feel them having the ability to return and do that and have fun what’s non-arguably a fucking genre-changing milestone file that many bands wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for. They need to play in all places. They need to come to London, they need to go play festivals, they need to do every part. Like I mentioned, I am all for it, man.”
