If anything Butch compliments DMB's music and doesn't over power with crazy lines ala Peter Griesar (who still is an amazing keyman, some of his stuff with the band for me was just too much.)

For us living any other ways was nuts. with all the goodie-goodies working shitty jobs for bum pay checks, took the subway work and worried about their bills were dead. they were suckers, they had no balls. if we wanted something we just took it, and if anybody complained twice they got hit so hard believe me they never complained again

This is true but Peter Griesar's sound was more of an organ(early jimi thing) and Butch is that heavy piano sound. I do like his addition's to warehouse.bbatsell wrote:They've had a piano since the beginning of the band...dmfollower wrote:i don't know why i don't like butch. i like the band because they have soo many different instruments and they play together soo well but when they added a piano i just didn't like it. i think it's cause the sound of a piano is so solid that it kind of over-powers the strenth of the rest of the band. you can't hear dave's guitar when butch is pounding at those keys.

You know in the older shit when Peter would do all that salsa-type jamming, I never dug that.

If anyone has seen the Van Ryper's footage, I can't remember the track exactly, it might be Pay for What You Get, but there's a keyman there I don't recognize. Who is this?
