    If it’s Chad Smith, can he just stop wearing his hat like a twelve year old?
    You mean backwards? It suits him, just as how Ed wears his brimmed hats and how JA wears his skater hats. 
    I wouldn't really say the brimmed hats suit Ed   :D
    Who are you to judge? If the guy wants to wear the hat let him. He DGAF about your opinion, but I’m sure he’s thankful that we all on here helped him support his hat wearing g era by going to shows and buying merch. 
    It’s an opinion not a judgement 😂 don’t take it to heart, I’m of the opinion that the hat he wears these days look awful on him 
    Smh.. if JA and EV were to make a hat line, everyone on here would go out and buy one.. 
    not me I don’t like the hats with wide brims I like the old time baseball hats 🧢 Jeff wears those wide ones or trucker hats you can keep them 
    lol I changed my username from Ally12 > VinylByTheWindow.

    anyways! People love the MPS hats though!

    Ah. The hat debate again. I’m going to chime in and say Ed looks awesome without a hat. Saw a couple of photos from this year. He looked snazzy and quite hawt. 
    If he needs a hat I have a cute Cubs hat I can give him!

    We all have insecurities. I mean we haven’t seen JA without a hat since 1991.. I say let them wear the hats.. if men get so offended by the fashion choices they can give up their memberships and let the girls fill the GA. Where get or no hat would be appreciated..

    LOL. I didn't even notice they were women until after I posted. Definitely not my intention.

    Jeff definitely played sans hat since 1991 (eg 2006) and he looks HAWT!

    Just further up this page. Most likely a tidbit from the review of his documentary, paving the way that’s at tribeca this weekend. 
    My hope with the new drummer is that its someone who pushes the band forward, like MC did.  I like that the band seems careful about who they're choosing.

    I feel like this is a troll from Jeff… like he’s being sarcastic about the new drummer.  Jeff seems like a solid dude and nice guy.  I don’t think he would publicly hang it out there that they might quickly drop the new drummer.  I think it’s more like it’s an established dude who they like and Jeff is breaking his chops a little.  
    You can definitely read it as he's busting chops but it would be way funnier if he's serious

    Here's what I'm thinking:

    It'd be odd for people to arrive at Ohana not knowing the drummer's identity. I think they'll announce in the weeks before.

    As for the touring, I think this is it for the year. There haven't been any leaks or rumors from the people who truly know stuff.

    So...I bet they do studio time after Ohana with an album release between December 2026 and April 2027 with a tour in 2027.

    Essentially, we're reliving 2002 and 2019 all over again.

    Remember also that Mike’s rock opera is being released in October & that he said he wants to do live shows for it.
