Hey I'd like to add my thoughts and musings on the Warren Haynes ABB/Dead brouhaha. First of all I wouldn't hold my breath for any official notice from the band. We are Shroomheads after all and you know how they raise shrooms? Feed 'em BS and keep 'em in the dark. Second Warren has toured with 3 bands the past two years (ABB, Mule & P&F) It hasn't affected his performance with the ABB negatively one iota IMHO. With the exception of last year, Gregg has toured continously since he was 18. Third, I'd also like to comment on something my buddy and fine drummer Rick T said, "I guess the ABB hasn't padded the pockets enough." (or something to that effect.) I feel that Warren is or would certainly hope that he is compensated based on his value to the ABB. Warren Haynes is/has been the ABB since 2001. And he could very well have been the most important piece of the puzzle that accounts for the popularity and renaissance of the band 89-96. Again my .02. Warren is in a unique position in the music world. He is loved and respected by fans and peers alike. He is one of just a handful of people who just by their presence tend to make a project better asthetically and financially. Plus I think he honestly enjoys making music. It is that important to him. Rick as a musicain certainly knows that if you want to be a better picker then you've got to pick. And while you're at it might as well get paid and do it in front of thousands of fans. If you want to be a better singer or songwriter, by golly sing and songwrite. Although Warren could be starting to suffer a little from overexposure, he is in a rare position. Each day is a new adventure for him. He can reflect on the past some later date. Dang I wish I could say that. ------------------------------------------------- "If I leave here tomorrow...............
