No no no, before you start wondering if I attended a concert or better, if they are coming to India. Nope. Nada.
Though on the latter bit all I am going to say is, the world lives on hope and we owe it to Kratos! :P
Anyhow, coming back to the title. I don't know how many LP fans are still ou there because there are so many who claim to have "grown out of it"! Well, fuck you! No one grows out of a band. you only change your stage in life. So at a point in time when you idenitified with "Numb", LP was the greatest band ever and now suddenly when your own "numbness" has been healed and you are begining to be felt again, you say, oh you know I've grown out of the band!
Sorry, about the rage. My point being, I have learnt that over years somethings never change. And that does not necessarily mean that you are still harboring an old feeling. Good, or bad. Its like as a child, papaya tasted like washing soap to me, but now I love it. Still I don't have it everyday. At the same time its not a fruit I tolerate, I enjoy it. And you can stop wondering how I came to the conclusion of papaya = washing soap.
At the same time, papaya did not replace any fruit for me. I did not stop eating bananas or mangoes. Neither, did it help me appreciate any other fruit that I did not then. I still cannot tolerate a chikoo/ sapota! Yuck! Sand mixed with sugar... So while I 'grew' into papaya, i did not 'grow out' of any other fruit.
Same is the case with music too. you cannot ever outgrow a band. It will remain unique for you forever. You may grow to like a new band, but you don't get over another one. Its a different case if the reason for you to 'beleive' so is caused because of space constraint on your music shelf, cd case or hdd. Don't blame them for you having a new muse. if you still do not beleive me, I challenge you that the next time you are sitting and working on your comp, go to youtube, open LP Road to Revolution (coz thats the latest) and plug in on your earphones. Let the music run in the BG and tell me if you don't feel the rush.
I Challenge you!
