Don?t thank him. If you read the whole interview he left because he didn?t want to play the CD leftovers. He says those are unheard but old songs written by a band that doesn?t exist anymore.
Well, it's like he's wrong.
And he knew that was going to be the deal, at least short term.
But short term turned into long term into who the fuck knows?
I trust he thought they'd be on the next album by now. Not still talking about maybe, possibly, eventually releasing the follow up album.
