i was just thinking about how zeitgeist will affect todays pop rock, i know its gonna be big, maybe even rush out the next single big, and was wondering what you guys think... because im not really sure myself

thats a tough one. It really depends if they plan on being mainstream and being on MTV like they have in the past. if they do it will be at least epic.

I wasn't sure at first if they would be that big coming back, but with the whole my(SP)ace cover songs thing and the big festivals and billy and gerard looking vaguely like eachother I think they're going to be really big again. Billy knows what he's doing, he never wanted to be in a small reunion tour band.

Obviously I know why you did it, but man do I hate when Billy and "that other guy" have their names mentioned together... Ugh.

i think they already changed the world.

the realm of alternative music anyway

I 100% agree

i sure hope bands start singing again, not just the same exact scream only shorter or longer, lol

What bands do these days is whisper or rap in the verses about how much their life sucks, and then when it comes time for the chorus they just scream as loud as possible.

haha. good Zeitgeist usage.

Billy knows what he's doing. The band sounds great. Most of the old songs are being played as they should be, and any variations he's made actually sound great. He toured Europe first to build suspense here in the US and give the tickets time to sell. He's letting people record the show at will. etc. etc. So he's definitely winning over the old fans.


The band needs to be very choosy with what songs they play on the radio so that they draw in new fans as well.

And I don't think anyone knows what's up with Billy's love for wearing gowns.

I dont know why that bothers so many people, i love the outfits, but yes, thats an argument entriely of itself.

Iv said from the start that i hope this changes the world, if anyone can do it its billy and the spiders from mars.

I think Zeitgeist will be a good album, but not an epic. Maybe a good warmup to the following album (if there is going to be one) =)

yeah, its too short to be epic, but i wonder if it will win any awards

songs like "that's the way (my love is)" and "doomsday clock" have good award potential, even if it's just an MTV award.

Doomsday Clock is just godly. Bleeding the Orchid might also be a single, imo.

And you can bet that their music videos will be awesome, as usual.
