Chris Shinn Instagram Post (Live + CCCP shirt), November 8, 2019 Options

Posted a couple of hours ago on Chris Shinn's Instagram feed (story)

Cleaning out my closet. Seeing this. I can't help but recall how proud it made me. How proud, I still am. Regardless of not hearing from a single member since or that we all created was so carelessly disregarded. Buried. I remain proud of what I did for that family. But it's a strange feeling - folding that shirt and putting it in the "never gonna wear again" pile.

The Turn was clearly the best LIVE album since TDTH and that tour was watchable for me, and the LIVE boys were certainly all about it at the time. Now, the album doesn’t exist, nor does he, because the LIVE boys have realized how bad he is. That narrative sounds familiar; have I heard it before? The LIVE boys change their minds more than a teenage girl, and have half the emotional maturity and twice the Cluster B. I’m ashamed to have ever idolized these unstable emotional infants.

I bought it, tried to like it, I really did. It’s still around here somewhere.

and that tour was watchable for me,

Chris Shinn was horrendous live. That’s what changed my attempt to like him fronting the band. Maybe if they’d just only played songs from The Turn on tour, I’d been alright. But no, when he covered Edward Joel’s songs, and butchered them up, I became sickened & livid, like a woman scorned.

the LIVE boys were certainly all about it at the time.

Yes, they were. Try and not remind me.

Now, the album doesn’t exist, nor does he, because the LIVE boys have realized how bad he is.

The Motley Crue album they did with Corabi in like 1994 -still- doesn’t “exist” either. It happens!

That narrative sounds familiar; have I heard it before?

Small potatoes.

The LIVE boys change their minds more than a teenage girl, and have half the emotional maturity and twice the Cluster B.

Honestly, I don’t think they have used their minds much at all since the reunion, let alone “changed” them.

ashamed to have ever idolized these unstable emotional infants.

Then why do you linger here? Legitimate question; I’m not trying to be snarky. Please don’t say you are waiting for anniversary editions/release of unreleased material, because you don’t have to “talk” here for that. So, I’m calling your bluff. I don’t think you are ashamed.
