I think so yeah. Which reminds me, I have never watched that Documentary. I need to do that. Anyone have it?
When I was younger, I used to think the Buckley brothers and Andy Williams were unfortunate to have so many members leave. Now I genuinely think they're difficult to work with and have been pushing people out.
I think it might have to do with their grueling touring schedules and lack of any real breaks. Looking at the shows Keith missed They didn't cancel and just went on with another vocalist. I think the ETID machine never stops and unless you devote 100% like the Buckleys and Andy, you won't last.
Also the whole " we dont have an opener? Ok, let's just play two entire 20+ song sets then" that might grind on a drummer
hahaha too true. As a drummer who's had to play two 20-song sets on a few occasions, I don't care how much you love drumming, it sucks. And in your 30s, your neck and arms won't thank you for it.
