I think it would be interesting for Devin to play SYL songs from a different point of view, make fun of the music a bit and play it differently. I would totally dig an even more sarcastic look at SYL haha

To me that would ruin all that is strapping

Wrong.

Strapping would still be awesome. But then there would be "SYL, now with more PARODY" and it would also be awesome.

Well call it something else other than SYL?

By you, BrunoN? Hee hee.

No no. I reckon an entire country version of SYL is in order.

Im 17 actually but id like to leave feeling about SYL the way they were, without them turning into a joke band, what your suggestiong sounds like punky bruster. Deconstruction of a cheeseburger sounds like a fun record.

I'd be nice to hear some stripped down minimalistic acoustic Strapping.

The vision I had in my head was nothing like punky, although it would be just as funny!

As much as like Strapping, I love Dev's "solo" stuff a bazillion times more, so Dev writing and recording at home is the best thing that can happen as far as I'm concerned.

yeah i got to see syl in paris on the new black tour in a pretty little place, it was awesome. I didnt even know any of devs solo stuff then, now i think i like it more.

I hope I ain't doing this when I am thirty because I feel this way at the moment and it is not something I am overly proud of. It's like saying, "Hey everybody, I have a bad temper."

seems about right

Point taken...

Don't they have to break-up first to have a reunion?
The way I see it, they're taking an extremely long holiday... just because they don't play gigs doesn't mean the band stop seeing each other entirely.
