To see the reunion as a 'dirty trick' is fair enough, but giving Joey the axe, to me at least, was a bit of a shaft. But the choice was made for the good of the band, much like whats happening now.
AlexStomp you are loyal fan for sure, the fact that we are all arguing so passionately about this says alot about how much we care about the band and at the end of the day just want whats best! Buying every piece of merch doesnt make someone a loyal fan, nor does going to heaps of shows. Im sure there are some die hards in Uzbekistan who havent seen the boys once!
The band cant please everyone at this stage, no matter what they do, itll be a mess of an album if they try and pay fan service to everyone. Ill respect the band more if they do their own thing, even if its another WCFYA (which like risk should have its name changed to Weve come for your cash), which i didnt get a boner for.
