    It’s pretty telling when he hasn’t heard from the other original band members since 1995. You don’t see any of the other guys in the group making jabs at him in articles or non authorized books. All your proof is right there. It’s pretty clear. 
    More editorializing. What from the article is a quoted example of Dave either pissing, moaning, or talking shit?
    I’m not trolling you or trying to sound sarcastic but you read it? Read the article, I mean it’s pretty clear with all the jabs . Just read it, I don’t feel like copying and pasting the quotes because it’s pretty clear but I will if you need me to. Again not trying to give u a hard time but cmon, just read it. 
    I read it, will gladly take a copy and paste.

    I was surprised how reasonable he came off in the interview. He called Eddie and Jeff passive-aggressive, and Kelly Curtis a drama queen. Meh, that’s his opinion based on his experience. Thinking about that time period for the band, there was a lot going on that probably didn’t bring out the best in them. Good news is they seemed to overcome it, and Dave sounded thankful for the experience and the fans.

    I see Dave is still pissing and moaning and talking some shit. Wonder why the guy wasn’t invited to the HOF ceremony.  
    Oh look, here you are
    You have a real issue with people who have different opinions. The article speaks for itself. You posted it. 
    I think it's more irrationality that he and others are taking issue with. What's a quote that's coming across as pissing and moaning?
    💯 

    More to the point, and despite this specific evidence from Dave to the contrary, he/she in fact is coming across as pissing and moaning. 
    Paraphrasing Jung; the imperfections we loathe in others tend to be the ones we see in ourselves.

    Fun to read some history - had always thought it wasn’t as simple as Dave is some kind of gun toting hillbilly. You’ve got 5 humans involved, so it’s bound to be complicated.

    Good read.... I liked the bit about how he would watch Stone's movements when trying to figure out a groove.

    Question. How many Dave A. quotas need to be hit a month on the forum to keep it going? Also, at this point, can we just include a separate discussion area at this point? All jokes aside, appreciate the fans out there that still ride or die for Dave A. Feel like this could be like that Weezer SNL skit at this point amongst us fans. Personally, I'm more than happy with what Jack Irons and MFC brought to this band.

    It's a new interview and includes a lot of band stories I hadn't heard before. Really interesting read and totally relevant.

    Question: Could be wrong, but I am pretty sure you can pick any merch-thread of your choosing to post in instead of crying about an interview being posted that gives interesting tidbites about the band?
