Dave also played in Wretch Like Me, and if you haven't heard them yet, drop what you're doing and seek them out.

I wonder if Ginn has been keeping tabs on the reviews. Honestly.

i doubt it, or if he did, i doubt he cares. this guy just sounds like his bitch, for all intents and purposes and will do whatever he wants and that seems like the main reason he keeps him around. he can hide his weaknesses on the new BF material in the studio stuff i have heard and GFY plays more to his strengths. the 2003 cat show was universally panned as one of the worst hardcore reunion shows ever, and he still kept moore and even started a new band with mike v. there was a roundtable discussion on punknews.org about how this whole tour was just a vehicle to get GFY in front of a new audience. i think that is a bit far fetched(as i am sure they are raking it in for 30 dollar shows that are selling out in some places), but i bet BF does not release another lp(after this one with ron) or ever do a tour like this again.

You bring up a good point. I too have wondered if they will do anything after this album/tour. I say no as well.

Honestly, I'm ok with that. It's not one of my favorite BF songs by a long shot. I like it but there's about 25 songs I can say right off the top of my head I'd rather hear.
