I think they wanted to find someone who wasn’t a practicing alcoholic.

Well I don't think it was just practice at that point.

Now Ed satisfies that role in the band

It's not like they're crushing the algorithms. That's not meant to be a dig, it's just like...their circle of trust is pretty small and impenetrable at this point.

I bet Olivia gets more traction over the next couple weeks.

I hope it's not Krusen.

Should have gone with a Japanese humanoid robot if they plan on touring long into the future!

So it's David Prowse?

‘This is getting close’

Abe Laboriel Jr.

Honestly, I never heard of him before. I think he used to be Paul McCartney’s drummer.

A friend of mine is in the touring industry and knows a ton of insider info. He just shared this with me today. Says the guy is a beast. But like I said, I don’t know shit about him.

He’s been heavily rumored for a few weeks now. Go back 5 or 6 pages in this thread to hear some of his work.

This Abe guy seems like the smart pick. He has the ability and is used to playing arenas and stadiums.

His Instagram may provide a clue: he recently got a new drumset.
Update: Upon checking his Instagram he did not get a new set. He was just playing Lars Ulrich's drumset in a studio.

Is he in Seattle right now ?
