I don't think it's the beginning.
I think the band clearly benefited from the enforced discipline of being signed to a major label like Sony and working with people who weren't their hometown buddies.
I'm reminded of that old post (by punkdavid?) where he observed that who could've predicted that what the band wanted by leaving their major label contract was the freedom to do absolutely nothing.
Well, as stone mentioned in the recent look back at VS....they were chomping at the bit to put out music and prove they were better than Ten.
My point is, i think the band actually wanted to and could work their assess off for a number of years that wasn't just at the behest of a record company.
They are old now and this is just what fucking happens. They worked their assess off for 16 years but have pretty much been coasting ever since then.
I didnt think they would age as such...alas...I was wrong.

It might have been McParadigm. Either way I remember that post.

The exact period of time they were signed to Sony or an associated label (just saying).
I agree that responsibility for all of this rests with the band and that sixteen years is a long time for any group of people to remain excited about working together.

Don't really have a dog in the fight here, but I've got to objectively call bullshit on this particular post. That's not "just what happens." Do I even need to list the dinosaurs, dead and alive, who never phoned it in?

My understanding of the system is that you have paid for 2018, thus qualifying for the last of the singles. As it currently stands, you can cancel or downgrade without sacrificing a single.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Some are on the road during tours and in the warehouse otherwise - some are in the warehouse all the time. The band has stated then need to "hit the road" to pay the bills. No 10 Club = less bills = less touring = quasi retirement.
Maybe they'll then have a half-assed fan club by Wonderful Union.
I've always disagreed with the philosophy of the Ten Club being a business that should turn a profit. It would be a lot better if they just let it lose money and used it as promotional.

This is exactly the kind of thinking that leads to firepole-less homes and regular seats at Chicago Cubs games.
