Lithium this morning, Madison said he's rumored to be the next drummer. Before cuing up 'Daughter' she said he's struggling to learn it. Discuss.

    Madison tends to be a fountain of misinformation.

    Daughter is one of the easiest songs to learn in thd catalogue - for the drumming part. 
    So whoever that Madison is, they're full with shit.

    LOL, I never said I believed her, or that I think Daughter is difficult (it isn't as easy true to it's OG recording in my opinion).

    Sorry but I don’t get the Perkins reference when the thread is talking about someone named Madison who I’ve never heard of?

    When Ed mentioned Perkins in the crowd at Ohana ‘24 and called him one of the greatest drummers of all time…Was he there playing with someone at the festival or just there as an attendee? 🤔

    He was not there to peform with another band.
    Moreover, on the same occasion Ed also said if anyone other than Matt is to get behind the drumkit [for PJ] it would be Stephen Perkins. 

    Make of that what you will.

    Yeah, he said that in reference to the annoying kid trying to get on stage who wouldn't put his giant sign down.

    OMG, that guy was in the VIP section and was shoving us all forward obnoxiously thinking he was going to get to perform. It was such a perfect night, I blocked that memory out until I read this thread. FWIW, I know everyone wants to make their 2026 plans, but it is kind of like John Harbaugh getting fired from the Ravens. You can't know what you can't know unless and until those who want you to know make it known. Obvious, I know. We can all vent and dish speculation. That's why it is a fan fantasy thread. Strange when anyone puts stock in these random comments instead of just taking them as playful comments.

    Madison is so so so annoying. As is Grant Random, although he’s a huge PJ fan. 

    Mark Hamilton is good on that station. As is Hardy. Shannon Gunz and Catie Babs are great on Ozzy’s and Turbo.

    I see I'm' not the only one who finds Madison annoying. The second I hear her voice I change the channel. She's been on the Air for a very long time now too. 20 years?
