There is no leak.
There's the dog. You can't fake that stuff. Confess with your mouth.

Yep - Stockholm Syndrome. We're all prisoners here until this thing leaks, at which point some of us will be set free, and others won't be able to let it go. . . . .

Yep - Stockholm Syndrome. We're all prisoners here until this thing leaks, at which point the lightning strike will set some of us free, and others won't be able to let it go. . . . .
Fixed.

just finished listening to the leak. Really enjoyed that. Wonder if remaining leaks will come out in full like that?

From the pit. poor guy had to ask somebody elses shitty question. haha:

Norm: "whole experience was pretty surreal...the band (with boom) sitting a few feet in front of you, forced to listen to your question..except, at least in my case, it wasn't the question i submitted...instead, i got probaly the lamest question of the night...and a pooly written question at that..."if you knew now what you knew before ten came out, what would you have done differently during the first few albums and why?"...i must've read that question 30 times and it never got better or coherent...i thought about editing it but i said fuck it and asked....well ive never seen six guys stare at me like i was speaking in tongues...so i shrug my shoulders and give them a kinda "sorry" look and ed comes to my rescue...he asks me to repeat it and instead i just hand it to him (he was directly in front of me)...and ed try's to decipher it and stone trys to give an answer but they knew it was a shitty question

a little while later, ed gave me a corona...so it's all good"

also, on the album itself:
Norm: " i'm shitty at reviews...especially after only one listen...but in my opinion, this album is a beast...lots of stuff going on, i think it's tracked really well...my only criticism is sleeping by myself shouldn't be on this album and i'm not a fan of future days...i also thing of the earth would have fit really well on the album"

Yeah I feel bad for him. Norm's fucking awesome, but that question was just awful.

Just finished feeling bad for Norm. Really enjoyed his pain though. Wonder if his remaining days will be filled with such suffering.

I don't get what's so horrible about the question. It's obvious what he was asking.

It should have been: "If you know what you knew now, would you knew what you know then?"

It should have been: "If you know what you knew now, would anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
