Guest Book

This say it all... So what actually happened with the Brothers gig? Got anything you want to say about that? DB: Yeah, there's a million things that happened. The social dynamics—I guess you would call it—became so pressurized and stressed that it just finally blew up. Butch Trucks decided that—and I don't mean to say this in a vicious kind of way, but it is true—Butch Trucks about three years ago decided he was the leader of the Allman Brothers Band. That's basically when all the problems started. You two racked horns? DB: Well, he wanted to get the Allman Brothers to promote his private business affairs. We just didn't want to do that. So he took offense. Anyway, that's basically what happened, at least from where I was standing. Any hard feelings? DB: I don't like the words "hard feelings" because I think all of us practice everyday not to hold bitter feelings. But yeah, to be honest, yeah, there's some pretty raw feelings still about Gregg and Butch. I'm not surprised about Butch, but Gregg selling me out really, really hurt. I didn't think he'd ever turn on me like that. You know, I hope those guys do good, that’s all I can say. -----------------------
