with Chris Shiflett essentially confirming the FF will go on, who you placing your bets on?
Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Why did you put Hater for Matt? I think none of these, you don’t really think it’s one of them, do you? 😄  Maybe Rufus Taylor but the similarities may freak the band out too much

    to be ironic. 

    no, I don't think it will be any of them. I honestly just thought it was interesting that Chris had mentioned "the next foo fighters record" and thought it would be fun.

    In that case I’ll pick Lars!
    I can see Dave playing drums for the studio record and them getting a touring drummer

    What does Josh Freese have on his calendar? And why the hell isn't he on this list?

    My prediction is that Dave will do all drum tracks for any new FF material and they will just tour with a touring member on the drum kit.

    That's my thinking as well if they decide to keep moving forward.

    I would expect maybe they go with someone that isn't in another band so they don't have to worry about touring conflicts?

    I feel like Freese enjoys being a free agent / hired gun and doesn't want to be tied down to any one act for too long. Although a 1-2 year run w/ the Foo Fighters wouldn't be out of character for him either. 


    I just found out in the last year that he auditioned w/ PJ back in the day (maybe between DA & JI?). I wasn't all that surprised either, all things considered. 

    The guy's a f'ing machine and was the best part of seeing A Perfect Circle in the early years.

    that's verbatim what I did the first time I tried to do the poll, but it didn't save and I had to do it a second time. I put in Danny Carey the second go around.

    I wish Taylor's son was older and could fill his dad's seat. But I'm going with Rufus Taylor as my official guess.

    Dave A. If he’s the best PJ drummer ever, why not.

    plus then he can move on. Everybody wins

    Every time Dave turns around he‘d see the spitting image of his dead friend. I imagine that might be tough

    Rufus is Roger's son, not Taylor's. Nothing to worry about.

    Apologies-my exasperation at Freese's omission was meant in jest.

    I know, but he still looks identical
