It's pretty disappointing for 'em to split up but, yeah, it's their decision anyway.

Well... look on the bright side, guys, it's only a year >_>

[Druska]

I hope it's only a year

[tomhoppus]

I don't ove this band, but my heart sank when i read the title.

[wiggs1441]

I think they need time off to think of there Music. i mean, there starting to suck but are still good

[Boni]

I hope they split of for good, they annoy me very much

dont say that. there real talented. they just need to get there act back together.

[budgie]

wow...

as much as i like them, im kinda glad, in a way. they havent delivered a good album in over 6 years.

maybe theyll come out of this a better band...

[Gibsum 41]

i think their last album was great. i brought in various combinations of their earlier work. i think they deserve a break

i thought the same when i bought stadium arcadium, but whats really happening is they're releasing amazing single s, but bad album content, to many fillers that you have to skip over

[Queso Man]

If more people realized how long they've been making music and how amazing it is that they are still around, I think they would be much more appreciated.

[tomhoppus]

^^ exactly

[SociallyInept]

This sucks. They aren't one of my favorites but they're still a great band and it's always tragic to see great bands break up. Californication IMO is probably one of the best songs of all time.

[Kano]

yeh i aint a big fan but a huge part in music culture it would be ddisaspointing if it was foreva

[Bobbyjames]

maybe i would appreciate them more if they wern't such a shitty live band. and tbh there are bands that have been around alot longer than them and can still make decent music, unlike the Chilis

[tomhoppus]

Don't get the offspring involved B-J

[Bobbyjames]

lmao, what has any of that gotta do with The Offspring, haha. i like them anyway, will be seeing them in 3 weeks and 1 day

[tomhoppus]

Off-topic, but the offspring are the best band live. I said don't bring the off into this cuz they have been around since 1989 (and in Manic Subsidal vefore that) and from the 3 songs from the album I have heard its gonna be awesome


Back on topic

[Bobbyjames]

yea, they've been around a long time too, can't wait for the new album.

back on topic, bands like Iron Maiden and Saxon have been around for years, and they can still write awesome music, and still put on an awesome show

[Queso Man]

I beg your pardon "bobbyjames," but the Red Hot Chili Peppers hit the stage in 1983 with their first record in 1984, and their latest which came out in 2006 happened to be their best-selling. Iron Maiden's latest release from 2006 hasn't seemed to make such an impact like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Iron Maiden my have been around just a few years longer, but it is very clear that the Red Hot Chili Peppers were the band that made their own style, worked it for 20 years, and made it to the big time. The Offspring haven't been around as long as both of them, but I guess we will see very soon how their latest album will sound.
