Quote, John: "and then we'll let a producer come in and put his flair on it." Prays for Glen Ballard to be otherwise engaged.

Agreed DWG. I love the sound of this .... quote: John... "At this point I want to keep it real basic so that the songwriting structure is real strong and the melodies and hooks are really good,"

| Sorry to dash your hopes and dreams, but it's a poorly constructed sentence than means LLI + 2 retrospective albums, meaning GHV1 and GHV2. God, the amount of disappointment in that last sentence... Oh, how I want to believe all of this... real rock, real instruments, recognizing Pro Tools isn't the greatest thing for them, album out by the end of the year... hahahahha.... album by the end of the year....

Interesting. I wonder how stripped down it's going to be.

| So does this mean that John has given up playing guitar entirely now? And I'll gladly volunteer for the Kidnap Glenn Ballard Brigade when it comes time to mix and produce this album.

a) I think if they're playing 'live', they'll require a second guitar player in the studio. Let's hope Brad will just be a placeholder though. b) Starting May 1st, we're doing rotating shifts at the Buffalo airport. Duct tape and one of those luggage carts should be sufficient.

I was surprised by the "four of us" comment. I hope this doesn't mean Brad is going to become the 4th GGD. No comment on his guitar skills, I just think the guy has ZERO stage presence. I'm being cautiously optimistic about the new CD. I seem to remember similar comments being made before LLI - and we all know how true those comments were. "There's only 1 ballad on the new record" HA. Also, they sang Glen Ballard's praise pre-LLI. I get so annoyed when they say all good stuff about an album/show/producer/song/etc., then as soon as they talk about their next project they bash all the things/people they were just praising on their previous project. I know the praising is part of the business (you can't go and say "buy our new album, oh and by the way it sucks"), but the bashing part is getting out of hand. It's ok to bash something later if they're not happy with it, but this has pretty much become their (especially John's) modus operandi.
