am I to be bullied into thinking that was "good" or it makes sense that Parker couldnt make it?
It isn't about "bullying." You are free to like or dislike whatever you choose. But saying this is "not Queensryche"
is getting old. And since it is factually incorrect, what it boils down to is that you are intentionally spreading misleading information. And that is a problem.
Like I said, feel free to like what you like, and to say how you
feel. But when you state opinion as fact, it is a problem, and one you are likely to be called out on.
As for your points about it being good and about Parker:
-Thinking that was "good": Yeah, that was MORE than good. You can dislike it if you want, but that says more about you than the band.
-Parker: As stated above, whatever Parker has going on, that isn't really our business if he hasn't said. But this is not new. And I suspect it may be something as simple as him not being able to take time off work, which has also happened in the past. When your main source of income is a band that isn't able to earn income, you find other ways to earn income. And if those two income sources come into conflict, it isn't a stretch to assume one is going to favor the one that provides the most or steadiest income. Again, none of this would be a new thing with Parker, and none of it would be unique to Parker (or to this band).
