That's the song Thom did after being inspired~ from seeing Jeff Buckley live, I believe.

Awww, really? Thom is a Jeff Buckley fan. I wonder if Frank is. I would die if he covered one of Jeff's songs.

he performed oldie with OF this past weekend too!





he also stood around and said, "I want no part of this.." when there was a fight onstage

Loling at Tyler just standing there like, ". . . What?" He literally looks like he doesn't know what to do or what's going on or if they're going to at least finish the song.

I honestly don't know how Frank does it. It kind of makes me wonder what he talks about with them when no one else around. I know they aren't like that all the time but I wonder if he just goes with it when they start in on their immature crap or what. I wonder how he feels about them constantly throwing fa**ot around.

i'm pretty sure their public personas are not how they act 24/7. if they didn't have anything in common or didn't enjoy each other's company, then frank probably wouldn't still be cool with them after all these years.

i remember someone asked frank about all the beefs tyler gets into with artists, and frank was all "I really don't have time to keep up with that stuff..." which leads me to believe frank probably doesn't give a shit one way or another about their "wild" behavior.

nathanandbarry 11th-Dec-2012 04:36 am (UTC)
That's cool. I started kind of getting into OF because of Frank and I know they don't act that way all the time but I still have to wonder because it must get sort of irritating at some point. I know Frank tweeted at Tyler to shut up once. I could tell it was lovingly meant and half-joking but he was really being especially annoying that day. He also tweeted at Earl once for tweeting about his disdain of seeing two men kissing on the street. I know they consider him to be like an older brother so that's probably exactly how that relationship is but must get kind of rme sometimes.
