Yesterday Was Everything Page #11

I think it would be a lot

more exciting instead of getting

"New Guy X" to sing for the

band to bring Jesse back.

That's exciting, that's

familiar, that's something

people have wanted

for like ten years.

You know, bring back the guy

that wears his heart on his

sleeve and probably cared about

being in that band more than

anyone at the beginning.

(B Best) I think what a lot of

people would like to come out of

this is a reformation of that

original lineup, and maybe more

music from those guys because

'Malice' was such a special

album but at this point it

doesn't seem like it's possible

to happen right, like they've

had three albums since

with Karl. Misery Signals

is something else now.

Stu's not in the band,

Greg's in the band.

People maybe just have

to accept that it was a

really special thing for the

time it came out and just sort

of cherish it for that.

I don't think that

there's really much potential

for anything else, as far as

Jesse's involvement beyond this

point with us.

I know that it's kind of an

unfair gauge to work off of,

because it is a special

event every night.

(Ryan) He hasn't had the last

six or seven years of slugging

it out. Not just coming

in and killing it at

these shows that have

been just like home runs.

He has Misery Signals shows

seven years ago, and then he has

this reunion tour which has

been like a smash success.

Me, Brandon, and Kyle, and to

an extent Stu have had years

and years of these ups and

downs and Winnipeg every night

for a whole tour.

(Kyle) It kind of gives you a

false sense of accomplishment

in a way. Beyond this I

don't think that they would

continue to be like this.

I think that you know you can

ride the hype for a little

while, but once it's said and

done and kids kind of see what

they've been waiting to see for

years, it'll just go back to a

different version of what we

have now; no better, no worse.

(Ryan) Stu's offered to me

that maybe including him on the

writing of something

else would be sweet.

I don't know if it'll

happen or not. I don't know

if he he wholeheartedly

means what he's offering.

If it came to pass, I don't know

how into it he'd be and if he

would just get back to the place

he was at when he quit the band

initially, and just bail.

Because that would hurt a lot,

and I don't know if I'm

willing to risk that.

But also to me the band's in a

weird spot where it might just

be done too, so like what's

to risk really, you know?

[cheering]

How could I

justify this

I can make anything alright

But what do you know

about sacrifice

You are no lamb

Any man a creep

Any man deserving

Any man A victim,

a target

Thank you New York City,

it is absolutely

wonderful to be back.

(Ryan) I don't know all the

levels that it's happening on,

but something-something

really good is happening here.

I was on stage in New York

last night and it was so good,

the show was so great. And

they had to keep the lights on

for the audience just as

safety measure for that club,

and I could see

everyone in the crowd.

There were so many people

singing along and going crazy

and I was just grinning.

I don't know if it's because I

feel like it's run it's course

in a way and it's almost over,

this is one of the last great

awesome moments, but I

could feel like the totality

of the band in a way.

(Ryan) It feels really

good to have done this tour.

I'm really happy with how it

went, and not just on a like

level of the shows were

good and people came out

and went crazy, which they did,

and that made it a lot of fun.

But as far as getting to spend

time with these dudes and see

all the old friends.

I'm not really sure I'm

consciously aware of everything

that has happened but there's

something therapeutic about

having done this whole thing.

(Jesse) I think we are on

that path to redemption.

It's been a healing process.

But it's not going to all of a

sudden "oh we did ten shows or

nine shows, everything is better

guys, everything is good."

We're brothers though right?

I can still be pissed

about what they did.

But I don't judge the men now by

what the boys did in the past.

I know there's been some

gripes, and despite our

differences, I really have

a lot of respect for Jesse.

I think he's a really good dude,

and I definitely can recognize

from where I'm standing now what

conflicts were there and what

differences we both have

as our personalities.

The things that sort of

caused problems with the band

are also the things that

are good about Jesse.

He's a really principled guy,

and he really sticks to his guns

on a lot of things

and that's cool because

the things that he values

are usually on point.

He really values friendship,

and he's all about doing the

right thing, and he sticks

to that once he's decided

what the right thing is.

I wish I was more like that,

and I admire him for that.

At the same time, that's some of

the stuff that was frustrating

for us when we were doing the

band before, because he would

stick to his guns so much.

I would too to an extent,

but I can appreciate

it a lot more now.

It would be amazing if

after Toronto we could go out

back behind the Opera House and

air our grievances and talk and

everyone ends with a big

hug and everything is okay.

I don't know if

that's how it'll be.

But we've taken some really

large steps to becoming friends

again, to healing what happened.

I love you, brother.

(Ryan) I do wish that I was

more mature back then and we

could have worked those

things out in a better way.

But I also believe that

our time as that group of guys

had to end. And I feel

good about where it's at now.

- What's up?

- Just waiting on Jesse.

One last time.

Yesterday we got in a cab

to go get some food in New York

and I had a good little

heart-to-heart moment with Jesse

where he was like "I'm really

really glad we did this."

And he even sort of said

something along the lines of

"if we were considering doing

more shows like this he would

be into it, and even if Karl

were leaving the band for

whatever reason he would

consider coming back.

That puts a lot of things to

rest for me about how he feels

about the band and

what we did together.

And interpersonally between

us, if he's willing to do that

that's basically forgiveness,

it's reconciliation.

(Jesse) Well that's it,

we have one song left.

This might be the last

time that us five ever

play music together again.

Ryan Morgan, I love you.

Branden Morgan I love you.

Kyle Johnson I love you.

Stuart Ross I love you.

[emotionally]

This whole thing...

This whole thing

meant the world to me.

For eight years I dreamt

about playing these shows.

I sure hope this isn't the

last time that we do this.

Thank you for sharing

this night with us you guys,

thank you so much.

I've seen it in your eyes

Looks like your

sneaking and all your lies
