I really think Dave should just go solo. He was the brains behind all their great songs, and we know that most of them can stand alone with just him or him and Tim.

Yeah, which is why I think the band could be great again if Dave wrote the songs and brought them to the band.

Absolutely, but since Batson fucked everything up with their song writing process who knows whats going on anymore.

It's not Batson. Ballard fucked the whole thing up. Convinced Dave (can you imagine?) to ditch the other songs and wrote him a bunch of Alanis Morrisette shit.

Batson is just a continuation of that problem. Batson's a fucking egomaniac. Gave himself playing credits on the album. Fucking produce the goddamn thing ... We don't need a 5th Beatle you asshole.

I don't think they will. Butch has been playing with them for a long long time. They like rashawns sound. I guess we can only watch and find out.

I'm beginning to wonder if there's something wrong with 'Roi. There's no reason to have Rashawn there unless 'Roi can't get through a whole concert anymore.

There can't be anything wrong with 'Roi. He's the FIRE!

Dave was under intense pressure from RCA to just get something done and the quickest way to do that was to get a shitty pop producer who could turn a record out in a heartbeat. The band recovered quite well from ED by writing some really great songs, centered around Dave (YNK, '04 songs) and releasing a pretty good album in BS.

The same cannot be said for what has gone on since Stand Up. Batson completely fucked everything up with his, Seinfeld approach to song writing. (Boyd warming up) "There's a song, that's a song!" and by involving the other band members who can't write a lick to join in on the process.

You might be amazed by both of them, yes. But I dont see how they are remotely comparable except that they are the best of DMB/ D+T.

They simply do not "=" eachother.

Woah, this is very cool. Sounds like a really good sbd SUAD. My first thought was studio version, but there's no way they recorded it this early.

stefan has a myspace shirt on

[Easy E]

unfortunately, Stefan is a tool

FYP

[jmack]

I appreciate him doing stuff like that. But I can't help laughing at what a tool he is on these videos that he makes. Remember when he recorded himself playing guitar in his hotel room during the European tour?

[Nitro1515]

That sure as hell sounded like a studio cut of SUAD

[Easy E]

yeah, i didnt really like the intro, it was almost like it was too tight, you know what i mean?

Rolling down the road
Current mood: calm

Here I am, traveling down the road on my way to Indianapolis on the bus. It is 2:00AM and I just had the day off in Charlottesville. It was about 100 degrees outside but I was at Haunted Hollow all day so I stayed cool. I was working on some music that I've had in my head for a while. As I found myself in the guitar booth putting down a guitar track I noticed that it got real dark outside. No sooner had the sky changed color the heavens opened up and gave the studio a good summer storm. Inspiration flooded me as I went back to work.

Anyways, just stopping by to say hi. Thanks again for all the comments and messages. If I had the time, I would write back, but just know that I love you all and enjoy reading everything I get. Our fans really are the best fans out there.

CHEERS!
