Just a little more news to add to this debate:

Apparently Heart 106.2 fm (London radio station) said yesterday that SG would be reforming. Now although they have been very supportive of SG in the past, they were also the ones who said that Darren would be moving to the UK, so I take these rumours with a pinch of salt [img]wink.gif[/img]

I deleted my earlier post in this thread because this was getting more heated than I expected. But I'm going to briefly jump in with a couple of thoughts. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The press (as exploitive as they are) rarely makes up stories out of whole cloth. There is (generally speaking) a kernel of truth that gets distorted and expanded past recognition. BUT it is there.

Celebrities (like politicians) often use the press for their own purposes. For example, I've heard (and tend to believe) that Michael Jackson was behind planting some of those weird stories about him back in the '90's because he wanted to have a reputation as being outside the norm. AND ffrom what I could see, he played right into that rreputation though his words (his real ones in interviews) and even his dress (running around with a surgical mask.

Now I don't know what's going on this time, but it's not impossible to wonder if D&D weren't using the press this time around to see if there was any public interest in a SG reunion. OR (I've wondered this too) if it wasn't Dan's way of reaching out to see if Darren was interested. OR (yet another view) it might have been nothing but Dan rambling on to a reporter without any ulterior motives.

I'm going in circles, so I guess that my point is that we DO know some of what Dan said. And while he's come back to clarify a bit, no one has said 'HEY, they made that up. Dan never said THAT.' Thus the kernal of truth.

Even the report about Darren moving to the UK that was mentioned. If I'm not mistaken, Darren himself said that he was going do that. I think a radio interview or maybe even in something from the fan club. *thinks* I SWEAR he said it via the fan club..... the journal??? Damn, I can't remember now. LOL But I thought it was at the end of the tour because I remember thinking "Good. If he moves to the UK at least he'll likely use another producer rather than Wally A. again."

Well I guess only time will tell [img]smile.gif[/img]

My guess is that neither of them wanted closure on SG to such a degree of finality but events sort of overtook them. It seems to me like Dan might be testing out the water to see if Darren would contemplate working together again in the future? Personally I can see no reason why, if both guys want it, for them to work together again and also to keep their solo projects going on the side as well [img]smile.gif[/img] It would be the best of both worlds. I don't think though if they were to get together that SG as it was known before would resemble the entity it once did, but Dan's musical contribution has I think been somewhat overlooked or at any rate a bit under-estimated and I would love it if the guys could find a way of working together again [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sorry everyone, but it seems clear I'll have to lock this thread now. I discussed this situation with the other mods that were online yesterday when this situation came up and they are in agreement with this decision.

So warn me. I consider my tone perfectly respectful. I have my opinion and I don't need to substantiate or support it in any way. And now it seems to me that just because a few people don't agree or don't like my opinion I'm being told to shut up. Which is not fair in the least. You wanted to know why I think the way I do, I told you. Simple as that. And no sooner did I explain my reasons then I get jumped on with tone messages and warnings. And I honestly don't know what 'tone' you're implying I have, since I post the same everywhere all the time and haven't had problems with it before. You're intitled to your opinion, why can't I be intitled to mine?</font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well that works both ways doesn't it!

Oh and just for the record I'm not familiar with your posting elsewhere and I did not like what I perceived as your talking down to us, lecturing us and labelling us all under the one heading!

Despite us not all agreeing here in the past I have never seen anyone be disrespectful before...that's just my blasted personal opinion of course

Tries to remember her own ethic....if you're not prepared to say it to someone's face don't say it at all.

It's a sad day for me when I feel angry and uncomfortable here.

I said it to your face. What more do you want? I stated my opinion. And yeah I'm a bit more vocal than some. But I don't believe I talked down to anyone in this thread. I apologize if you felt that I was doing so. That was not my intention. Anyway I stated my opinion. Got jumped on for it, was reminded that most people here are sony people too and why I don't post there much. So yeah thanks, but no thanks. If I can't express my opinion and have an intelligent conversation with people without them getting upset or jumping on me for whatever it is they think I said, I have no reason to post. Guess you can all cheer now.

hey now Devon, don't let one thread where things got a little tense on both sides paint the whole bbs :/ How about everyone who's upset in this thread take a little breather, eh? We're all smart people who mean well around here, i don't think we need to turn things in such a final direction without taking a break first! *offers everyone some tea*
