As opposed to No Code?
Yeah but he still played guitar on Smile, and his bass part was replaced by another band member.
So it’s Andrew Dink’s participation at which you draw the line?
I draw the line at any producer supplanting the role of a core bandmember through some sort of scheduling/workflow trickery.
And while it’s not WW3, I don’t take this even a little lightly. For Andrew or any other producer to elbow his way onto a record without allowing a core member — whose legacy and financial compensation are tied to the band — to be part of the conversation would be an indication of said producer’s desire to direct the band towards his self-serving vision rather than serving a functional role as an objective support mechanism.
Probably it’s not the case; I’m not gonna take one RM post and run with it. But hypothetically speaking, if Andrew shows up on a bass track and Jeff is nowhere to be found on the song, that would be kind of gross. If the same happened and the royalties actually went to Andrew and not Jeff, that would be very gross.
