OUCH!
They don't leech Jacob, they just want that vibe to continue and why not?
TD were on a "new technology" wave back then. It was all new and they wanted to continue down that evolutionary and revolutionary path with each new generation of new gear.
One or two of us - ok, ME - want to expand the possibilities of the old sounds as well as expand our experience of the new musics of today. I very much doubt the music groups you accuse of leeching actually make any money from their ventures. How many discs do you expect they sell, a few hundred at most, possibly a couple of thousand! Heaven knows what their day jobs are, even Mark Shreeve....
Anway, how many ageing hippies post on here, with "long hair, wacky baccy and sandals?" If they're stuck in the past (forty years ago), that's up to them.........
Sorry for the tone of this post. I'm really p****d off tonight!
