Live From Orensanz is where I became a Fazzi fan. Good call.

Yeah, I didn't want to bash New Again too much because I have no idea how far into the recording/writing process he was recruited into the band in order to be present on the album. But if he was available and not utilized, it was definitely a waste of a huge talent.

haha. I have seen a video of one new song and it was quite the jam. It seems to me in every HBSB thread we end up quoting one another.

I've always heard the producer made the call to go all Adam on vocals. Also, several HBSB were presented to TBS for consideration on New Again - were turned down.

Awesome! Love Rubano.

Dude's making heat with AAR too. Caught the show in Baltimore on Sunday after my weekend conference. He flew to Michigan for this right after they played.

hmmm

Love Matt Rubano, his bass playing made WYWTB and Louder Now for me. Such a great player.
