| Craig is a great guy but I always missed Kelly's drumming in Flotsam when he left... Glad he's back!

| He was a great drummer. I wonder what happened to Craig though?
And now they have Mike Gilbert back too ... I guess they were jonesing for a reunion?

It does seem like things have been shuffling toward a reunion recently. | |

| They should give their old bassist a call. He's not doing anything these days, is he? _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

| Apparently Eric wanted to do one more album with the "old" lineup. This is according to Craig's post on their forum.
Understandable. This may be close to the end for the band though.

With some of the crap they call art these days (like the artist who defecates paint) it fits right in. | |

| Cool. I'd love to see them do something to celebrate the 25th year of their debut DFTD since they got nearly the line up from that record. | |

| Looks like the F&J boys are jumping on the "fan funding" bandwagon...

I guess I'm partially to blame here. I still haven't got their last album. That extra $2.85 coulda prevented this panhandling. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was.

| I'm surprised they're asking for money. Didn't The Cold sell fairly well and get picked up by Nuclear Blast?
I bought it upon release and still love it! | |

I bought it upon release and still love it! Maybe they just figured they'd give the whole kickstarter thing a shot and see if it helps defer an expense or 2. Can't hurt to try, right? _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was.

| I thought the last album was really strong. I'm pretty excited about the new album, especially since they got Kelly and Mike back in the band. | |
