Every Time I Die - Radical (October 22, 2021) • Page 79

I love ETID more than most things in my life, I’ll be honest I havent kept completely up with the recent drama around the Xmas show. I keep up with a lot of news using this site/threads and it got weird in here for a bit when that went down and I just chose to not partake.

We have seen a slow down spiral for Keith and his demons. My hope is that this is some type of bottom for Keith that allows him to get the help he needs and peace he deserves.

Its very hard to battle the particular demons I at least know he deals with while touring 9 or 10 months a year. Throw in a pandemic that shut everything down and you have a perfect storm for some real bad suffering.

I genuinely do not think this is it for ETID. I do think they should remain done for a length of time, like years, so that things can settle down and Keith (along with anyone else) can do some self reflection and some serious work on themselves.

There is little doubt in my mind we will see a come back album with a rejuvenated Keith who has made amends with his long time friends, its just going to be a handful of years from now.

 

I'm sure I've heard an AOF song but couldn't tell you the name of any. If they're bigger than ETID or UO I'd be surprised

 

Very weird to see fans saying Keith’s GF is the reason behind the scenes and calling it a Lennon/Yoko situation

 

they have a handful of songs bigger than the biggest ETiD song. i think ETID has albums that generally are bigger and they've really increased their touring during the period AOF has been on hiatus, but AOF had way more crossover appeal

still think UO is def bigger than either

 

I don't feel this way, but if I were to guess, id imagine it's because he has said a few times for stuff like the discord and other things that if people want to reach him, to go through her

 

Ahhhh, idk much about any of that stuff so I guess I see why they say that but it’s very weird to say she’s the reason this is happening.

 

Well i'm excited to see the new projects we get from Jordan and Andy at least.

 

Anyone have a good resource that can catch me the fuck up on what actually happened?

 

Not worth it.

But Keith is a psycho.

 

Fuck me man

 

i'm fucking sad

 

Just woke up to this devastating news this morning. Absolutely gutted!

 

Still in denial that this is actually happening. I’m just hoping things get sorted sooner rather than later.

 

It’s super sad to think about how the dudes sat on Radical for almost two years because they didn’t wanna release it til they could tour properly on it..

Only to play a handful of shows after finally releasing it and then breaking up.

 

I dont know that going out to do this with everything so fresh is a great idea...

 

In Canada AOF is absolutely massive. They sold out a venue thats 16k capacity 2 night in a row in 2019. Heavy radio rotation here. If this were a Canadian tour AOF would be headlining. Unfortunately with a lot of Canadian artists the success doesn’t translate into the states.

 

I’ve got tickets for the Glasgow date but I have no doubt whatsoever that this will now be cancelled.

 

As successful as all 3 bands are, “This Could Be Anywhere…” might be the biggest song between the 3 of them. Deservedly so, that song rules.

 

Saw this coming, but still very sad.

Now is not the time to speculate, now is the time to stop and appreciate all the music they gave us. Whilst nothing will top the first three for me (and the lack of love Last Night In Town get on here is criminal), I always gave their new releases a listen or three. A really good band that always did what they wanted. Gotta love that.

 

They were the best to do what they did in a long time. They can't be replaced as far as I'm concerned. Hoping they can reconcile things at some point in the future. It'd be such a shame for lifelong friends to fall out in such an ugly way and then never speak again.

 

Having found out the european tour got cancelled (on my birthday no less), which was gonna be the first time I saw these guys, then finding out all this less than a week later has been nothing less than a horrendous gut punch

 

I'm honestly so gutted. Gonna be listening to them all day. If anyone wants to join me and celebrate their work I've shoved their discography chronologically into a playlist, from 'The Burial Plot Bidding War' EP right up to 'Radical'.

 

I listened to their whole discog back to back to back at work tonight. even on $10 earbuds in a loud depot this band absolutely rips

I'm kinda sad I only fully got into them when the Radical rollout was really kicking off. at the same time though, goddamn what a discography to discover

 

Wow .... can't say I'm surprised after December's drama but doesn't make this suck any less. I've loved this band since 2003, and been fortunate enough to see them 3 times (albeit all in the 00s). They will be hugely missed - but if this is it, what a great high note Radical was.
