And there’s a quote I got from a guy who played bass in the only polka band in a 4 state radius and made a very good living with it: “There’s good money in playing music that musicians hate.”

Is it my favorite music in the world? No. But she’s written plenty of hits that people love. You know, this thread reminds me of a quote Mick Jones from Foreigner once said, and I paraphrase: “People put us down for writing hit songs, but it’s a lot harder to write a hit than one that...

Josh didn’t leave because of animosity with Trent. He left because his wife was about to have a baby and he wanted to be closer to home and not out on the road for months missing his daughter’s babyhood.

Never heard of Lady Goo Goo but I am an uncloseted fan of Lady Gaga. She can sing her ass off, whether it’s dance music, Tony Bennett jazz or Metallica.

I don’t think Dave knows anything except he likes Ilan today. And considering the DrummerWorld track record of predicting Foo moves since Taylor died, except me getting it right that they got Josh, I think predictions are going to remain a limb that won’t support the weight placed on it.

I think I’m going to have to be the one to break it to you all… 1. Musicians very often dislike pop music. Old musicians often hate everything made after they turned 30. 2. There’s plenty of skilled musicians playing interesting pop music and having hits. You guys just like focusing on the...

Agreeing with Joe is not the same as him being right ;). Again, why would Dave have hired him in the first place? Why do the metal and punk bands he’s worked with sing his praises?

I don’t want a bunch of crap on my phone. It slows them down and makes it hard to get to the crap I already have ;)

Not the greatest ever but good enough to produce hit albums.

Well you’re of course entitled to an opinion, but I can guarantee that neither of them were hired as a full member. How that plays out on future albums, I don’t know. But Dave will do as much or as little as he wants, and it probably depends more on Ilan than anything.
