Kaum erinnerte mich das “russische Roulette mit dem Mediaplayer” an Boysetsfire, meldet sich die Band mit diesem Statement zurück:
"We were never a normal band. We never did the right things. We never looked cool. We did everything exactly the way we wanted. Trends weren’t important. Being hip wasn’t important. There was only two things that were important and sancrosanct; the friendship between the five members of this band, and people who we touched with our music.
We were a band for over a decade. We decided that we wanted to try different things with our lives. So we stopped playing music together. It wasn’t Noel/Liam Gallagher ugly; we parted as friends and we generally see or talk to each other all the time.
I think we underestimated how much we would miss it. The communion, the intensity, the genuine outpouring of emotion- it just doesn’t exist for us without BoySetsFire.
So we are going to start playing together again.
All we know now is that BoySetsFire is playing in Berlin on December 5, 2010.
Thank you."
Somit hat sich der Gag auf der Website der Band (“… and when the reunion show is…. HAHAHA”) bereits bewahrheitet. Dort wird man dann wohl auch irgendwann weitere Infos finden.
Ein Originalvideo zu “Rookie” habe ich nicht gefunden. Aber dieses Fanprodukt wird dem Song auch gerecht:
