mr george, didn’t read in andy’s post that no recordcompany is interested in releasing, so your last proposition doesn’t make sense at all.
But come on, let’s just keep cool about this. no more arguements please, that’s not the way things are normally handled here. You’re pissed off, I understand, you made your point. You got your answer, in a rude way, but that’s just because the whole atmosphere was rude.

I think this has really gone a bit far.
The North American fans here have a right to be upset about NO INFORMATION. But, Michael A’s aggressive “fuck you” attitude to Therapy? is out of order.
Andy, in turn, said “fuck you” in response to the “fuck you” attitude. In the light of day, I’m sure Andy doesn’t feel this way against North American Therapy? fans - just upset with the American music industry in general, I think.
Bascially, we’ve finally heard, from Andy, that there’ll be virtually no NEW NEWS regarding T? in America.
This information was late in coming, granted, but I think we now know where everyone stands.
Marja, your post is just what I was thinking!

I’ll decide this for myself, thank you. If you, or anyone else, continue(s) violating the guidelines, action will be taken. Please keep it civil.
And what’s with the Caps-Lock? That’s so 1998.

teethgrinder: i know you can decide for yourself… i would just think it very hypocritical for you to take it down… but alas i should not assume that you would and i apologize for the remark…
and the caps lock was only cause that’s how the post was directed at me…
ronald: the m and f are my first and middle name, george is my last… and i am a cool guy… but i stick up for myself and what i believe is right… i’m not going to lay down because you or a member of the band says something i don’t agree with… sure i lost my cool, but you push a person in the corner and they can either fold or fight… i fight…
i never once ever meant to offend you, the band, or anyone else here… i’m not even the person that stated all this, i just said i agreed with Michael A that the band should let us know, cause they said they would… and i said i disagreed with how Andy responded, because he sure points a finger at north american fans, and i feel i’ve done quite a bit for them, and that makes me upset…
if you can’t understand that, if you can’t understand why i haven’t purchased NANE up to this point, and if you can’t understand why all this would be a hot topic, then i can’t help you… i tried to explain, but obviously you just don’t understand…

Right, so there it is.
I’ve already apologized for my actions, but let me apologize directly to Andy and the boys…
I’m truly and deeply sorry for the way I’ve gone about this. I’ve said things out of anger and frustraion that I never should have.There’s no excuse for how I’ve gone on. I truly respect you guys and what you do. I presented myself like a complete ass and I got what I deserved for doing so. The fact that you would actually take time to read my original rant and post a reply is huge.There’s not that many bands out there that would do that. Despite what I orignally posted I know you guys care about your fans. If you didn’t you would have never responded. I thank you for taking the time to send a reply and I hope that something turns up and you guys can put NANE out in the states. I also hope that we see you guys on tour here in the states again sometime. If you guys stop by the East Coast again the first round of drinks is on me.
Andy, Michael, Neil, once again I’m truly sorry for my conduct here. Please don’t let my conduct sour your opinion of the American T? fans.
Regards from a repentant sinner,
Michael

No matter who is right or wrong, Andy can tell whoever he wants to go fuck themselves - cause he is a rock star and you are not :D
This has got way out of all proportion - the best thing about this board is the almost complete lack of hostility between any of the members. Sure we disagree on things from time to time but fuck! lets just sit down, have a beer, chill out and get on with it! :D
Now where did I put that bag of skunk? i’m rolling us all a fat one!

You know what? I know Michael A (Us North American Therapy? fans have to stick together!) and it’s an insult to see him get shit on about his dedication to the band. If you asked him, “who’s greatest rock band of all time?” He would immediately respond, “F*ckin’ Therapy?!!!!!” I know for a fact that he’s bought atleast 2 copies of Caucasian Psychosis, 2 copies of Shameless, 2 or 3 copies of Semi-Detached (Imports between 20 to 30 dollars a piece) and 7 or 8 copies of Troublegum! As well as every other T? release including the imported Scopophobia and tickets to a concert hundreds of miles away. You wanna talk about support and respect? There it is. Everytime one of us sings along with that T? record and plays it for a friend, that’s saying, “Hey, we support these guys, we believe in them. We’re into what they’re doing. And we do man! Andy, Michel, Neil, we believe in what you sing about, we care about what you have to say, and we whole heartedly support your brand of Rock N’ Roll! We’re just frustrated man, just like you are. Nobody knew that Michael A is pretty much the biggest best American fan you could ask for, just like we didn’t know the bullshit and frustration you were going thru Andy. He just wanted to know what was going on.
Yeah, I know Michael A didn’t lodged his complaint in the most moderate way possible but f*ck we’re not in public relations here, this is Rock N’ Roll. Plus I’ve begun to believe that your intent is more important than how you express yourself. He wanted to voice his frustration. And it’s all us North Americans. Y’know we’re kinda jealous when we hear about all these great shows over in Europe and stories about hanging out and drinking with the band. We want that too, but there’s a huge f*cking swimming pool and a culture of bullshit in between.
Well, the last thing I wanted to do was get into an argument with my musical idols but I didn’t think Micheal A deserved a F*ck U for his years of loyalty to the band. Andy, Micheal for a lot of us you’ve been our rock heroes growing up thru our angry pubescent adolescense and into our dejected adulthood. Maybe we put you up on a pedestal more than you’d like but we love you guys.
Anyway, I’m done
F*ck Me

To be honest, Andy spotted Michael’s post himself and asked us to post his response on the boards.
*grabs a beer anyway, and runs off*
Fair play to Michael for the way he responded to Andy’s posts. And an award for being the most controversial new member of the boards in quite some time ;-)
Oh… and apologies for being a party pooper, but please, no smoking in the General T?opics section. Take it outside people… stick to the topic at hand.

Hey PanZer,
Do you think it would be a good idea if I send Micheal A the copy of NANE I got during the “Arthur et les Pirates” show the other day,when Arthur’s mates threw items in the audience,the CD thrown would have hit my head if I hadn’t caught in time :D ?

Yeah - how many people can say the band directly responded to their first post?
