My 14 year old self has never been so happy.

Which one is he? The one with the long hair?

probably felt good for him to play in a relevant band again

They're playing a DRUGS song? Craig doesn't have to drag that in

I assume you're referring to Thermacare (known as "The Only Thing You Talk About" on the DRUGS album). The song was originally a Chiodos song that leaked online right around the time Craig left Chiodos.

this is AWESOME

loved jason but for some reason this really excites me

Yeah, I know about all the custody battles and variations on that song. I just saw that the live video incorrectly titled "If You Think This Song is About You..." but it actually was "Thermacare" so I was mistaken. I thought they were playing "If You Think" on this tour and the idea of bringing in actual DRUGS songs made me cringe.

Erak would be a cool addition to Chiodos if he were to stay for a new album. Don't think it is too likely but he would at least make up for some lost riffing/leads from Hale.

TFoT is so much better it's embarrassing

my 14 year old self would be pissed because thomas is really above that shit (if he turns out to be a permanent replacement)

Thomas is a badass on guitar. I remember watching him during a little soundcheck or something (him just fucking around with a guitar) at my highschool 8 or 9 years ago and thinking what is this alien lifeform that plays guitar like no human I've ever heard!

Erak recording with them would make for the cockiest record.

you guys know whats up.

i'm more impressed that Thomas can perform so withdrawn, rather than stand at the front of the stage the entire time. i bet Craig asked him not to, wouldn't want to take any attention away from him.

it's also nice to see Craig up to his old tricks with asking the crowd to sing the parts that he knows he can't sing. i guess its a better substitute than holding the mic an entire armspan away for dramatic effect.
