I agree with Charlie on the fact that the band should have just walked after the first
two albums and then change their name after reforming (like Slowdive did after they
broke
up. The remaining members formed Mojave 3). But as far as Nate not wanting to be with a
band that was done, finished, finito - then why the hell is he still in the Foo
Fighters?? If Nate would have rejoined, we still may have a Sunny Day that we enjoy as
much as we did when we first heard them. But as soon as you remove an important
ingredient - you no longer have the same chemistry. I don't know how many of you listen
to Primus, but if you do - look what happened after Herb quit. You can't remove the
pink
hearts from the yellow moons, orange stars and green clovers and still have Lucky
Charms.
Later,
