#AWKWARD

tbh imo it’s not that awkward? he’s not saying ryan was BAD, he’s saying different people play differently and that will make you look at what you’re playing differently, and when you’re set in a routine that can be really enjoyable; they talk that way about their bassists too.

that’s not insulting, it’s just a fact, any musician worth half their salt who has ever played in more than a duet knows it.

I agree with Kati up here, because it’s very true. Having Julio et al in the band isn’t an insult to Al because they’re all different musicians. It’s the same thing as Panic 2.0 and such. Ian and Dallon bring a different energy to Panic’s live show than Ryan and Jon. Every band member brings something different, and this difference of additional space - at least, the feeling of it - is something that is totally natural and great to hear.

I spent like an hour once trying to explain to Eliana how the energy of the replacement drummer affected the song. I should have just waited for Sean to address it. Bless his heart for always trying to make the best out of every situation. 

I still miss Ryan. To be fair, I haven’t heard them play with this latest drummer. But Ryan had a brutal approach that was essential with songs like Blood and Bang.
