So at Mr Kyps in 2006 (that rhymes!) you had cotton wool in your ears? We actually played the new stuff in 2005 and 2006. I know people were disappointed I left Budgie but take solace in the fact the only reason I stayed as long as I did was because of you guys. The fans made it kind of bearable up to a point. To understand why I left think about this:
You have a job which pays the bills and a bit more. You have the opportunity to swap this periodically for a job which "might" pay the bills but it's a job you love doing. After a while the boss of this "part time" job makes it abundantly clear that you're position in the band - sorry "job" is somewhere below the guys who sell the T-Shirts. It also becomes clear that 95% the hard work and sacrifice you make go to line the pockets of other people in the organisation who have made no such sacrifices. You start to think "Why the hell should I?". Which is what I did. Because of folks like you and Sylvi and the Two Blokes I stuck around for at least 18 months longer than I could have done. Maybe if things change I could go back because I loved the gigs and meeting the fans. As things were it was just too damn hard.
