Taking Back Sunday - 152 (October 27, 2023) Album • Page 106

Just need Will Noon as the new drummer and life will come full circle.

 

Fred and Mark don't play the same instrument, that's not an even trade!

 

Not gonna lie. Didn’t seem like it. Fair enough

 

Clearly sarcasm. Clearly.

 

Wouldn't expect them to match 152 without Mark's songwriting contributions going forward but it's awesome to see the good vibes between all the other guys there

 

I thought all of the posts immediately before mine about how great they sounded and how fun night 1 was would be clue enough that they shouldn't retire. Tongue in cheek gets lost in text though haha

 

Seeing this made me so happy. I arrived during WYWTB, so to me it always felt like Fred was an original member. I always hoped they'd reconcile but didn't think it would happen.

 

LFG. Let’s get Fred in there and make a great record.

 

Wow

 

Fred and John trading vocals is so damn cool

 

Not to be that who follows who person, but seems the only one Mark doesn’t follow is John and Mark is the only one John doesn’t follow. Just interesting. Anyway, as I said, it feels weird without Mark. More than any of the other lineups.

 

I don't even care if Fred goes into the studio with them, but to have him on-hand to sing his own parts would be pretty cool.

 

Guys, I would be stunned if the Fred thing is anything more than just a special one-off appearance.

I *highly* doubt it’s anything more than that.

 

They just stopped following each other a few months ago (which stirred the pot even more)

 

Their tweets make me wonder though.

 

Couple of things to remember: Fred stated on multiple podcasts back around 2019/2020 that he had reached out to the band to gauge their interest in doing something together, specifically for the 20-year anniversary tour since they were playing Fred's two albums front to back. He said he had some good conversations with Adam and felt like they were on good terms again, which was something that was really important to him, but nothing ever came of it relating to his involvement with the band.

We also know Mark hated Fred. Mark made that very clear. So it's probably not a coincidence that it appears Mark is no longer with them and all of a sudden Fred is back on stage with TBS.

 

I'll be the first one in queue if Fred goes on your again

Nah what am I saying I'll be first in the queue regardless of what's going on lol.

 

I'll always go when they are in town, but I'll drive my ass to multiple shows in my region if Fred is going to be with them. My first show was Projekt Rev 07 and that's the only time I got to see them with Fred.

 

16-Year New Again Anniversary tour with John and Fred

 

Only rule is Greg has to go. Or what are we even doing?

 

Yea, I would never go to that. And luckily, that’ll never happen.

 

Wasn’t aware Mark was the one to have beef with Fred. What’s the story if any?

 

Lots of drama around the time of Louder Now. Mark called him the devil in the AP oral history when New Again came out and said he threw a party when Fred quit the band lol

 

New Again is a good album.

 

I know in the AP oral history they said that Mark walked into the studio to Fred creating drum parts and he flipped out.
