Yeah, Half Moon Run sound unreal live. Saw them at the Winspear centre a few years back and was blown away at how good they were. Radio and CD definitely don't do them justice.

Why do people feel the need to come on here and goad everyone? Just stop. Everyone on here has their own storey and their own opinion. We all are or once were huge fans. Some of us will continue supporting his music going forward and some of us won't. Maybe be thankful that you actually have ZERO idea of what it's really like on the other end. And maybe try and have some empathy and compassion for people that have been through something, big or small its theirs and has affected them negatively. Just because it didnt happen to you or you dont know someone who was doesn't mean it's not there and real for other people. Again, just stop. Like a lot of people here, I have decades of the best memories of being a huge fan and collecting rare memorabilia, traveling to NYC just to see him in a shitty club and going to see him in a bunch of different cities each tour, meeting really great people through M+ and sharing with them all the really cool things that MG shared with us during that time. Will I go to another show or buy anything new he puts out, those days are probably done now. If I knew I did something to make someone feel bad or afraid or whatever I would be absolutely mortified and would fall over myself apologizing and figure out how to better myself. Isn't that what people do? Just wanted to say that I appreciate a lot of what people say on here, a lot of you seem like decent caring folks.

Hi everyone, I'm still reeling from this news so excuse me if this seems jumbled. I appreciate most everyone being civil on here. The fan group on Facebook that closed down the other day became extremely toxic and personally triggered my past that I didn't want to ever think about. Hayley's IG post could've been written by me about my past relationship (not with Matt), so I absolutely understand and believe her. For someone to say on this forum that he is far from a horrible person is just wrong, plain and simple. Someone doesn't have to do something technically illegal to be a deplorable human being. When someone is controlled and made to feel like they are worthless or stupid or like they are going crazy..... or pressured to do something that they aren't comfortable with but are made to feel if they don't they wont be loved or yelled at, it's wrong and a horrible way to live. Believe me, it's not so easy to leave when you're too embarrassed to tell anyone what's happening and you're scared. You also start believing what that person is telling you. I personally know of someone in the private victims group on FB and can confirm her story is true. What's bothersome is his admission and giving himself a pass because of being bi polar and being a musician, that's a cop out. To this date, he doesn't feel he has done anything wrong and doesnt feel the need to get help. It's not about him being a cheater or just a dick in general. It's about manipulation and screwing with people's minds which is just f**ked. That will do a life time of damage, believe me. That man that mentally abused me 12 years ago still has some control over me. When I think about it, I still feel that sickening nauseous scared feeling and so will some of those girls that are coming forward. I'm sorry this happens to anyone. NO ONE deserves that.

Haven't seen anything up on eBay yet, will keep checking though! :)
