Black Crowes double acoustic album, tour, hiatus, **RETURN**

I don't know why, but I listened to an interview with Black Crowes drummer (who's just released a book)... and so... Chris is the asshole in the band? Wanting 75% of the loot on that last tour that didn't happen in 2015?

Chris’s reasoning for that was so he didn’t have to do the tour. He knew it wouldn’t be approved by the band and he really just wanted to continue his other career with the CRB. He wasn’t ready to go back to the Crowes at the time.
who really knows unless your in the guys head. 
Steve’s book is great, but a lot of finger pointing at the brothers. He admits he had some issues but I’m sure lots of juicy details were left out to cover his own behind.

You're saying the guy who busted into Oasis's trailer to beat the shit out of Liam Gallagher may have contributed to the dysfunction?

Sounds like BS. But i'm not in the know of the band. But sounds like a bad excuse when being caught being a greedy asshole.

Exactly, from my POV, Gorman seems like dickhead 1b to Chris and while he doesn’t make like he’s a saint, he does whitewash and gloss over his part in it. And he wants to be invited back so much. 

does he really? when they announced the reunion his twitter just said "NOPE". LOL

And from the radio interview I saw, about his book. He didn't say much about it other than "not surprised they are doing it".

Ya, Gorman wants back. No doubt. 
He’s always saying things like ...
“ i don’t see it happening”
“I can’t imagine it, and I have a pretty wild imagination”

that to me is not closing the door completely shut. I know other interviews he’s come out and said no way, but when he says stuff like the above it speaks to me.

I don't know much about the BC, but just from what's posted above, not shutting the door to me doesn't equal he wants in. It just means he's smart enough to know that you never say never in this business. 

I would suggest you read the book and then come back to me on this. 
youll realize where I’m coming from. Based on his attitude in the book and If he can’t fully say no now without these other little “not likely” comments then there is something there.
He also states how important the 2015 plan to tour was for him and as a way of thanking the loyal fans. That’s his biggest regret out of all this. 
Well here’s his chance to make that right. Just have to mend that fence with the Robinson brothers somehow. Maybe live nation can do that for them? Maybe it’s alresdy in the works and part of their marketing strategy?
Come out with a big announcement that Gorman is back. After all the book hoopla I’m sure this would sell some tickets. 
But honestly, read the book. It’s a real quick read. I tried to take the finger pointing with a grain of salt.

fair enough. I've been looking for another music book to read, so this one might be the next. 

Im actually planning on reading it over again soon. See if I take anything more away from it.
