"Ugh... STOP! THEY are the ones..."
If he says this then I feel for him, being bombarded by these fans constantly asking for you to return to the band They(the fans) liked you in, must be exhausting.
I can understand what he means by THEY. But it's just the way he worded it makes it sound negative.
I'm not defending Mike and his actions, just stating that I'd be upset and frustrated if fans kept asking. Yes I wish he'd stop with his resentment but he is feeling deep regret with his decision and props to him for keeping on.
Also, I'm more interested in hearing how the 12 step suite in full would sound with whomever he chooses to play it with, than a DT reunion one-off.
