Im Agree... completly
But, i wanna say that, Side projects are bad for the bands because they make breaks in the bands...because whos make this side projects, makes a difference with the others members, like a have a side project because im most important like you...
Mike choose the perfect moment to make a side project, chester dont...
Mike use the strong of Collision Course the keep the work and grow with the side project...in that moment LP have 2 years without a Studio Album, since Meteora, and have 2 more years without album to MTM...
In 2009 around September we know that LP was working in a new album with a release in 2010, well my question is Why LP have the rush to release an other album in that short time ? and why if chester know that release his fucking DBS album ???
Two wrongs choices !!!! in this moment the best thing is that LP wait to late this year, and chester finish the fucking promo of his fucking band... i love DBS but i feel that was a selfish movement the release of OOA in october 13 because if the band that make you one of the best singers in world, and full your pockets of money and the most important give you the chance to be a important person in the music world, you have to respect this band and your side projects have to wait a little bit more...
Please, LP have to wait, because if the two projects (new LP Album and DBS tours) works in parallel we have all problems ... because surely many people will say that the new album of lp is good because chester do not participate or is bad because chester do not participate ...
Therefore I think that LP has to wait until the DBS project comes to an end...
sorry for my bad english...
