I was thinking this same thought. It seems like ever since they got on
TOuch & Go they tried to be more serious. I loved 1000X and MFT. I
wonder if this CLone tour was an attempt to go back to the old sound and
maybe Star Crunch (or Coco) didn't want to go back to that style.
Star Crunch will be impossible to replace.
As the guitar player and singer I would think he is the main songwriter.
His guitar style was one of the main reasons I really got into them.
(yes I play guitar)
I hope they just put out a new album with SC and then call it quits. The
Clones were fun but I would rather see the real deal.
Star Crunch is not Dr. Deleto,Dexter X or Captain Zeno that can be
replaced.
Just my opinion,
steve
Did this just RUIN everyones day or what?
