[kj] Apocalypse

[Christof hamille]

The story is old and over played but those words came stright from the 
horses mouth.  For him to look back and realize that is not why he went OR 
that he was wrong is fine.  He may have not believed that from the get go 
and thought it would be much more dramatic to say something like that. I 
have realized that you have to take everythign he says with a grain of salt. 
  And that may sound a little odd coming from a band that is at the top of 
my list.  BUT his music/actions speak louder than words (spoken).
I will admit that most of his interviews I gloss over quickly.  This last 
one though grabbed my attention.  MAybe it is because we wasn't 
as....theatrical.  I don't know he seemed more open and telling on this one.
And as far as the release being a year away that my be the labels doing and 
not the band.  I will say that I am disappointed that the new site is not 
being utilized better.  And I do know that it is not Jesters doing.  Working 
with a band that has minimal interest in this sort of communication is like 
pulling teeth.
