I wouldn't be paying for that. I'd be paying to see a PJ show. If Dave A came out for a set I'd probably feel like it's pretty weird.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

I always feel bad for Dave A. Got to live the dream, then had it taken away. The band kind of looks over his contributions and pretends he doesn't exist.
I think he kind of earned it. There's 11 PJ albums. The first 5 are my favourite (I still love the back 6, but those first 5 are all out amazing). Dave K. drummed on 1, Dave A on 2, and Jack Irons on 2. They all deserve respect0 -
I don’t blame him one bit for feeling that way or even if he’s struggled with the disappointment of this for 30 years. It’s gotta hurt.Nobody really knows how it all went down, and Ed has every right to make that move if he needed to for any reason… personality conflict, stylistic differences etc. Seriously, more power to him to surround himself with whoever he wants and make any changes he wants to be comfortable enough to create and become the artist he is. There’s a LOT of people that don’t get to be in/stay in that circle.
BUT… despite all the things I admire about Ed, I’ve always been puzzled by this stone cold stance against Dave. It would be one thing if Ed was extremely private about his relationships, but he’s not. Ed almost goes over the top in touting his friendships and who he knows. He will absolutely lavish praise on so many other musicians, celebs and pretty much any semi popular pro athlete to the extent that it actually takes up time during shows so he can talk about his famous surfer buddies or one of the ramones or some hockey player. He made everyone in the LA Forum listen to Tim Robbins play a song back in 06. Both nights. Seems like there’s no shortage of names he’ll drop or love he’ll show to his cool friends. And to his credit, by just about all accounts I’ve read on here, he’s extremely cool and generous during encounters with fans and regular people. Like really cool. I know he’s always got every eye in the room on him and it takes a lot to maintain the reputation he has of being cool to everyone.All I’m saying is, I just wish he would say something nice about Dave.And Stone.0 -

Funny about Stone. I bet that's just their relationship. He's such a smart ass, standing there with his knowing smirk even when funny things are happening onstage. Stone has always been my favorite member. I can identify with him.0 -

I’d love to see Dave playing with PJ again, but it would be a lot cooler if Jack did.0
