Twitter, Facebook, and the like are the worst things to happen to Live. 10 years ago, you stood a slim chance of getting in touch with the band. Believe it or not, but I LIKED THIS!!! It made the interaction important and worth something. In 1997, if you didn't like Century, you had to blindly write to the fanclub or be lucky enough to meet them in person and voice up. These days, if you don't like Night of Nights, you simply press your finger to your iPod and thumb-off a quick "tweet" (aka: a lazy person's sentence) which carries sweet fuckall in terms of a responce.

In a way, it's great, because we no longer have to rely on fan-based websites to deliver the latest news. BUT...at the same time, the news can be presented in such a personal manner for the band members involved that you either have to take them as themselves or as a group. And, often, the two are mutually exclusive. In a way, I lament the days where the secrecy and the anxiety that went hand in hand with being a Live fan meant that you didn't know that you'd hear a new song in a month. There was a sense of day-to-day fandom and curiosity. These days, it's given to you within moments of Chad's or Ed's or Pat's thinking of it. It's a bit TOO quick. I like a surprise every once in awhile. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the band members "tweeting" every 4 hours of their lives about what's to come.

Honestly....it's too much to be concerned with. They delivered their 4 best albums with us knowing next to NOTHING for months, even years on end. And the results were always favourable. Now, we've got 27 side projects and 14 emotions per hours flooding our RSSs.

It.....kinda sucks. A lot.

Wow, swami. I literally agree with everything you wrote - so damn true.
