Wow. These were the best gigs weve played in the states in a long time. We had only played a handful of shows in the U.S. with the reunion 8 9 months ago. It hadnt really sunk in yet I think and even though those shows were good, they were no where near as great as many of the shows in Australia or Europe over the summer.
People were really excited and had been waiting months to see us and were finally getting the chance. Almost all the shows were sold out and the crowds were insane. Best NY show in forever. Somehow Chicago was even better, Minneapolis was ridiculous, and Los Angeles of all places topped them all! The LA show was crazy. I havent seen a mosh pit like that since LA 1987. Unbelievable. The crowds were a great mix of new and old fans. There were so many kids at the shows and they are dressing like I did in 1986 with tight jeans and big hi-top sneakers. Is that fashion coming back? I hope so!!!!
This reunion has become bigger than the five of us. The band is tighter than ever and we are so strong musically as well as personally that nothing could stop us. It really feels like we are riding on a wave. I can feel the excitement all around us and the support growing every show. I know that people were skeptical of this reunion and some still are. I challenge you to come see us and then see what you think. People shouldnt judge or speculate about something they have not had any experience with. And as far as the future goes, we will be able to tell you all about that very soon.
Here's the full list of Euro dates for April. I can only imagine how great these will be. The gauntlet has been thrown Europe. You better represent!!!!
