As far as I can tell, there's no "fight", no "rivalry", and no "friendly competition" going on here AT ALL. Only the fans here are saying things like this by assuming and reading-in to some statements and creating something out of nothing.
Also, one band taking shots at another band is NOT a competition and it certainly isn't "friendly". Nobody from DT has acknowledged any of this and "fired back", as far as I know at least. It's just one band trying to start something that isn't there and the fans somehow thinking there's some kind of competition going on.
DT is, yet again, doing the right thing and staying away from all of this junk.
You know, if MP leaving was friendly or at least everyone was friends again and taking some fun shots at each other, then it would be fun, but the way it stands now is just one group with a couple of butthurts trying to prove something and start crap. Up until this I've loved DS's attitude (and I still think he has the best lead tone out of any keyboard player I've ever heard), but, again, since nobody on either side is truly "friendly" with the other it just comes across as douchie (or douchey, dunno which one is right).
You just can't get too invested in an internet fight between bands. It's not healthy.
But there *is* no fight between bands. It's one band taking shots at another for no reason other than to try and start shit.
As for the song itself, aside from DS's awesome sounds, it's pretty "meh" for me.
