Big comeback album and they come out with DOTW? I remember my friends not even knowing it was STP, they thought it was a song by Third Eye Blind. It was embarrassing. Good song but not the way to re introduce the band to the rock public. But I call BS on whoever thinks STP didn't sign off on DOTW. They would have suck*d c0ck to get main stream success. They weren't looking to please STP fans at all. Part of the problem with their current long term viability. They consistently ignore their fans, whether they think they do or not. Don't put all the blame on the band. Their management just really missed at every turn, and Scott's issues didn't help. Probably should have stayed with Steve Stewart, instead of these factories they went to. They didn't give a f*ck about the fans. Just the buck. If they realized this they'd be cruising like PJ, NIN, DMB right now instead of playing indian casinos in the middle of nowhere.
Their decision making process is flawed. It has been for a decade. But hey, they're still together.........
