From the article,it sounds like it's just Paul who's against it. They were saying in it how Gene was for it in an earlier interview.

My understanding is that the current lineup intended to play along with Ace, Pete & Bruce without makeup, similar to the Unplugged scenario. HOF said they wanted an "in makeup" performance only; to which Paul & Gene responded that scenario would only happen with the current lineup. What's unclear to me is whether or not the HOF agreed to that, because before a decision was actually made known, Pete & Ace went on their public rants claiming Paul & Gene refused to play with them in any format.
I'm glad I don't have to see two sets of people who can't stand each other get up on stage and try to convince everyone that they're having the time of their lives, yet again. I saw that several times on the Farewell Tour, which was in sharp contrast to what I had seen on the Reunion Tour.
I've always had a deep appreciation for Ace, but the last few years he's really worn thin on me. And that interview he did with Eddie Trunk several days back was just so sad to me. He rambled on & on aimlessly, he sounded completely incoherent..."The fans this, the fans that...I'm recording a new album, just gonna keep on making great music...it's almost done..."
And if I have to hear one more time from Ace or Pete how outraged they are that someone else is wearing their makeup...when neither one of them had a problem with it as long as they were the one still standing on the stage...especially Pete. He played for nearly two years with Tommy onstage...after pessing & moaning for almost an equal amount of time about Eric.
I'm with Boss..."enough already".Comment
