Could Us Against The World Be About The Time Chris Kicked Will Out Of The Band?

Featured Replies

i was just thinking with the "like a river to a raindrop" and how they sing it together.

Trouble is already for that event...

I thought Will left the band and then Chris begged him to come back?

no comment.

 

you could just not post, its not like it was directed to you....

As I remember, Chris dismissed Will and later 'begged' for his return

Will was kicked out. Not Chris.

 

??????????

Oh dear. A little bored there?

i think it really could be. it has a lyric like "drunken as a .... in a lion's den" and after chris asked will back into the band, they made him get crazy drunk as "punishment". at least that's what i've gotten out of inteviews and what they've said about it

Well, at Glastonbury Chris said the song was about two lovers, so unless some of the strange sketches I've seen on here are true, it's safe to say the song is not about Will and Chris

??????????

 

Like jc90 said, Will was dismissed in the early, early days. Chris started going to a local bar to mope around and then later on begged for Will to come back. It was on a 60 minutes interview.

I know that I started the thread.

 

That post in response to someone who said Will was kicked out not Chris, which we already had established.

OK, UATW unplugged just played on the Letterman show and Chris gave a little explanation. He said it's about the band and all the negativity aimed at them. Makes me love it all the more. I think it probably means a lot to them, personally.

were at the taping?? cause its not on tv yet??

Every time they play this song, Chris has a different explanation of what the song is about...

Chris said it was about a friend of his who had a problem with drugs.

I just have to say it's difficult to sing about the truth in these times, perhaps the only way to be heard is to code the truth within, to speak with emotion and suggestion rather than directly, and to get on to get out the message is a tenuous dance. When you dance with the crocodiles, you've got to choose your moves wisely.

you mistaking The song trouble already talked about this event what they would remind him again, I'm sure they do not like to remember it

I thought it was "My drunkard has a Daniel in a Lion's Den

I thought it was "My drunkard as a Daniel in a Lion's Den

All I know is that my son's name is Daniel and he's watching the Lions play the Saints in his den...

funny

okay, the song is relatively clear...US against the world...as in the band through thick and thin against the world.
