I remember meeting Ian outside a blood for blood show in KC. He was in the parking lot out front drinking beer and listening to Black Flag. I walked
right up and was really taken back by the fact that he was just chilling out front with everybody. I introduced myself and we chatted and had a cold
one. He was great. I then go inside and find Rob at the bar by himself talking to the bartender. I introduced myself, we bought each other a beer
and proceeded to hang out until the went on and his also introduced me to Budah (sp). All three were as nice as can be.
Man, that band hit the stage the place was UP FOR GRABS. You couldn't resist going crazy. Best HC show ever.
Good dudes, great music and I hope it is not completely over.

I spent 3 weeks with them on a Slapshot tour. It was my first tour, first trip out of the country, first time meeting them (and the Bluebloods) and
first time really dealing with the Slapshot guys aside from Mark. They were all super cool with me and everyone else as far as I saw. I still see Ian
once in awhile and hes always super nice to me.
I would love to see them play again, but I think I'm just as interested in hearing anything that Rob does. BFB was a band 100% not an individual, but
Rob is such an amazing song writer and personality that I think he could carry almost any band if he was of the mindset to do it.
side note: its an odd spelling, but its actually Buddha.

They were a great band a good bunch of guys. I spent some time on the road with them while they did some dates through Canada back in 98 I think. I
was a college at the time and they played in the town where I was going to school. My buddy put on the show and I loved B4B and he told me to come out
to the show. They killed it and I hoped in the van with them and fucked off for about a week. Ended up in Toronto at the end of it all and way behind
in school. haha those were truly free times in my life.
I can't seem to see this interview as it has been deleted, but would like to have a look if someone could let me know where it is at.
While I think I would love to see B4B with Wisdom in Chains I really do believe that B4B was in a time and a place and that is where they should stay.
None the less if they came back I would support them until the end no matter what they did.
MM.

There's two sides to every story.

Absolutely not. Everything will come out in time if Rob ever decides to chime in with his story. Sadly for all the drama queens out there he just
isn't interested in satisfying everyone's need for drama and more gossip.
Here are facts that were represented as I interpretted them:
1) Rob is no longer friends with those guys and has nothing to do with them.
2) Rob was a drug user for a while.
3) The band doesn't exist anymore and Rob doesn't want to do it anymore.
Everything else is shaded in opinion. And is any of it really worth talking about? When I look at points 1, 2 and 3 it is obvious to me that it's time
to move on. Do you think that Rob couldn't release his own video in response and address things from his point of view? And you know that he is more
than intelligent enough to express himself in a way that would convince every single viewer that he is right. He just doesn't care. I told him about
this last night and he said "those guys still talk about me? they still think about me?"
I'm so tired of people whining about him. Sorry. The party is over. Sorry he took his ball and went home but every one else is free to start up new
bands and be successful on their own. People preach to me about him like I don't know him.... like I haven't spent my entire life around him.... like
I never played in a band with him before when he was on drugs. It wasn't the drama show that it's made out to be. It definitely isn't worth talking
about 2+ years later. I'm sure some good times were had and it's something that can be looked at fondly or regretfully if that's how dudes want to see
it. But it isn't worth the continued pissing match. Especially when only one side cared enough to show up and whip their dick out.
Man, when I think of all the choads that have approached me in the past 2 years trying to offer an opinion on a guy they barely know it makes me want
to wretch and puke. Fuckin' idiots. People are really disgusting.

Not to get off topic, but this is hilarious. I might have to start using this in normal conversations.

Mark... I have nothing but love for your brother. Fuck BFB. It's just a shame that all parties don't pull thier heads out of thier asses, and move
pass this on a personal level. I was there the last time him and Buddah talked after it had been a while, and it was like 2 long lost war buddies
excited to see each other. Rob shouldn't be so surprised that people still talk about him. His band and lyrics impacted a lot of people....think of
all the people that are still mentioned that are not nearly as talented as he is. Ian and Buddah are successful doing what thier doing, and I hope rob
finds happiness and success in whatever he does. I was there with BFB from the start...through Wooden, Delaria, Gina, and Mahoney. I went on the road
with these guys countless times and spent a lot of time with them. I too also have people offering thier opinion and asking what happened, how's this
one and that one doing? I'd love to be able to answer. Fuck the drama and the hardcore sewing circles...I just want to know how my friend is
doing....more than fine and sober.

I've known Chris since I was like 16. He's a good shit and he's always been cool to Rob. For the record, I assumed it was another dude that doesn't
know Rob but has been armed with an opinion by a third party. That has happened so many times in the past two years that I definitely jumped to a
conclusion. That isn't the case here. Chris is a good guy. I'm sure I could kick his ass if needed but I'll let him slide on his good guy status (that
was a joke - don't hurt me).

I could go either way with the reunion thing but most of the time I have the same feeling as others. The time/moment has passed, get over it and move
on. I'm not into 99% of the reunions going on now, even bands who only call it quits for a little while.
I would love another Sinners & Saints album though or Ramallah or acoustic etc.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I haven't watched the video, just want to throw in my 2 cents.
I just hope everything is going well with Rob. He is the most talented musucian in my book... PERIOD! I look forward to any project he may put out
and wish him the best.
The "Lind's" knew how to "produce" good musicians!

Mark, you are always on point man. I hope you are doing great and I'm still waiting on the vid with your "George Jefferson-Style" walk you did for
the AIDS fundraiser ;-)
Be good Sir.
