> And breaking up didn't compromise the band? Shit like that comes very > close to pretentiousness if you ask me. Which you didn't. Heh, well, it did, yeah... But, I think that was prefered over the other compromise. I'm glad they did what made them happy. I have no problems at all with bands getting big, however - Dillinger Escape Plan have made it to the main stage at the Reading Festival this year, with the Prodigy and the Strokes and loads of other huge acts. They're the smallest bill on the stage, but I'm still proud as hell for them... :) They're really nice guys and they deserve every ounce of success. Andy
