The downfall of 2002 was that they didnt have an album. As ive said a million times. They should have done a qucik big city only tour. Get their feet wet. SHow the new lineup. Gel as a band. Get out of the studio. And it would have been positive because the major cities would have sold well. Instead they go to east bumblefuck and play a setlist of old material.
Next go around will be much more positive and productive.
actually they did play major cities, even one called philadelphia, sold out show, no show. I don't really see what playing only major cities would have done. What they should have done is show up to every show and played well, and reschedule gig's they didn't show up at, then when they get a new album out and go back to touring those places like east bumblefuck, they probably would have had alot more people in the seats.
