I disagree with the baseball analogy. I think that no one reason led to the delays. Probably in 98 he wasn't confident, but by 2002 I gotta think that record company politics became the main hold up. If the guy wanted to only make money he could tour almost nonstop and sell tickets. Hell in Europe and south america alone he could just do a six month tour every year and do nothing else.

Why is he even talking about new music. Why have Brain in the studio along with Paul Huge? Why lead anyone to believe that there are more songs worked up. Something he has done numerous times. We will get new music and we'll get it sooner than most think. I'd say no more than a year.
