"most of you know this is the 25th anniversary of >our< band" sooooo weird to frame it like that when its just SJ and a couple contract musicians now. are there any original members even left beyond SJ?? drummer maybe still :) . wonder how many of the people in the audience really know the full extent of the history. its always fun checking up on how things sound compared to the old days and talking a little shit.
@@poliselthiago long story, but suffice to say, SJ consolidated the rights to the band/songs/IP into his own name (original guitarist does not even receive credit in liner notes for songs he co-wrote now but they are still majority of songs they play live to this day.) behind his bandmates backs, kicked out most of the original members and reduced the other musicians to contract players. virtually just sucking the entire soul out of it for money and never having any success again. kinda 'cutting his nose off to spite his face' kinda deal but w/e i'm sure he's doing well and sleeps like a baby.
@@Michael_Dominic How did he force his band mates to give up their rights? You need to know the story behind the stage. I still think your version has some gaps
@@poliselthiago he didnt force them to give up rights. he stole their rights. that's why SJ has had court settlements with at least 2 of the original guitarists :)
great version, thx for upload
I still rock this song after all these years!
That was just great!
