You asked enough awesome questions yesterday, you're off the hook.

I think the next question to ask is whether the band be playing the new material from the DVD this fall in concert. I really hope they don't pull a Radiant Sea with this project and not play the new songs.

Pat said that they were kicking around some ideas to change up the setlist but he sounded like he said it because he was sick of people asking. I really got a vibe that they just don't reherse right now.

They really seemed to be a family oriented band backstage. The funniest part was when a flat chick was going around getting her tits signed (if you can call them that!) by all of the band members and the wives were rolling their eyes. One guy asked if that happend a lot and Ed just said "when you're a rock star sometimes you have to be willing to sign peoples body parts" so the hairy ass bastard actually lifted up his shirt and asked Ed to sign his chest. Ed laughed and did it, and then shook like a nasty chill went down his spine!

It was actually pretty funny!
