It just seems a bit over-egged, though I can acknowledge I'm potentially responding more directly to stip's characterisation above than anything he or the band have said.

Stip's "characterization" is just what the band has said. Jeff said he had an "encyclopedic" knowledge of the band's work that surpassed even his own. I see no reason to doubt them

How does anyone not hear that and think "oh c'mon".

Of all the members of the band to just start ripping off random BS... you're calling shots at Jeff?

I mean, i get what Jeff is saying and giving praise here, but he doesn’t have a greater knowledge of the band’s work than a member of the band. I think that’s where the “oh c’mon” comes from

Sure he does. Mike doesn’t even know how to play the central riff to Alive.

I can almost put money on the fact that they're not playing records they made decades ago to themselves in their house and car, like a superfan is doing; they probably don't remember half of what they've played in the studio, and that's why most of their live catalogue has drifted so far away from the studio versions

Exactly.

Why? It's extremely common. Fans think about musicians' work a lot more than the musicians themselves often do.

Idk ask spenno. I was just speculating why he said “oh c’mon”

It would be cool if another snippet leaks just like last saturday.

I hope nothing more is released until mid-April so we can see what soft of twists and turns this thread takes.

That's absolutely true but I also doubt Wotman's knowledge extends into, I don't know, No Code-era b-sides and 2000 tour improvs.

As always, I may be wrong.

this is all because he usually produces pop right? he can't possibly have a music taste as good as yours?

What 'dark matters' explain Wotman's meteoric success?

The guy starts out playing in a band in his early 20s with Jason (son of John) Bonham and Glenn Hughes (ex Sabbath, Deep Purple), then hits the road playing guitar for Bieber, is shortly thereafter producing and writing tracks for a bunch of charting artists, by his late 20s he's producing Ozzy Osbourne records and then wins 'Producer of the Year' at the Grammys when he's barely 30.

I'm sure he was bankrolled by wealthy parents but, even so, that seems pretty remarkable.

If some goons shortly knock on my door as a result of that post, it's been nice knowing you all.

Diarrhea this morning, but feeling better now. Really stinky and wet stools. Not even the kind I could smell and enjoy.

Cloudy, yellowish pee.

BMI = 23.47

Still a healthy weight, according to Harvard's online calculator.

I like this one because it includes four digits.

Illuminati

Illumiwatti?

Somebody ask Wotman what he thinks about Happy When I'm Crying, then we'll know, something.
