Damn, I missed seeing the original line up live...AGAIN. Oh well, sic transit gloria mundi. Good to hear Jon and Andy are keeping the Gang alive, and I can't wait to hear Mike Watt bring the Thudstick to Hugo's awesome drumming. Good to also hear that you continue with your music as well, Dave. Thanks for giving it another go, guys. Just heard about this. Damn, I missed seeing the original line up live…AGAIN.

England, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, France, Turkey were all covered. America only got 2 tours. I left because of disagreements over the new material and how it would be released. I would have liked to have continued but circumstances worked against that....sorry. jeff,

Why did you two have to wank off just as you were all getting together and recording some music? I cannot tell you how disappointed that I am. I was not asking you to recreate the past.....I was just asking you to give your careers a chance, both for the benefit of your careers and for the sake of new generations of fans. Now I will never have any hopes at all for seeing the real Gang of Four live. Now I will never experience a chance to buy a new Gang of Four single or album. I have spent years telling people how great you guys were, and have spread the word that you are back and finally ready to claim all the credit that was yours.....but now that's all destroyed. Thanks a lot for giving us hope and then completely crushing us.... I just can't belive it. I am destroyed. I want to fucking cry.
