I feel the truth that they’re gonna get onstage and do that… All Phil has to do is simply rise up there and crush it…as lengthy as Phil brings it, it is gonna be nice. Simply to have the ability to sit again and watch these guys to do it up… And I feel all of the followers are gonna find it irresistible.”

Unusually sufficient, shocker! It is, like, ‘Ah, I hate these guys. They suck.’ ‘Are you going?’ ‘After all.'”
