Not The Actual Events

[Kyle]

I don't remember, did y'all complain this much when Capital G didn't come on CD? Or BYIT?

Not quite the same since CD was still mostly relevant at the time. A better question is did people get this mad when With Teeth was not released on cassette?

...With Teeth was not released on cassette?

Sure about that?

[Kyle]

Sure about that?

Well I looked it up and it looks like it was released on cassette in Indonesia and Malaysia and a promotional cassette in Japan.

I think my point still stands

Yeah, i agree your point stands. I too think the "CD is dead* - no it's not" should be discussed separately from the music.

I'd like to ask what people think "Not the actual events" mostly refers to?
Is it literally something Trent doesn't want but is haunting him? Like some people interpreted one song as reflection of fear of losing his dear ones, but as it turned out it was for movie.
Or maybe it's him saying that his characters were not real and this is the only real guy singing?
Or his past relationships and friendships that didn't last?
Or his talents misused or his messages misinterpreted?

In my language, word "actual" is generally used as "current, relevant" i.e. actual topic = topic people are interested in now.
That way i could say that Trent warns us that these events are real but he doesn't give a rat's ass and doesn't want us to.

And still unclear why they reused Still cover, which adds to vagueness. Maybe the answer is there's no answer...

* Ultimately i think it's a question of price - i probably won't buy it if it's price above like $7. But many sellers would slap a bigger pricetag on it, like 13.99 special offer! They will want to sell is for as much as vinyl version, i now see a connection with Capital G. It's Greed talking and making decisions.
