quite a line up if you ask me. but can they pull together and create something as a whole? i liked what i heard on their site. it's nice to see (and hear) Satch in a vocal setting again.. i think mike anthony has always been a seriously underrated bassist AND backing vocalist.. i love the punchiness of Chad Smith's drums on these recordings.

I saw this a couple weeks ago... they played in LA at the Roxy and I would have gone, except that the tickets were like $50 a pop... and they aren't playing very many live shows... so, if you can make it out, you should...

I really hope the album lives up to the cred of the individual guys!

yea, on the left upper hand corner of their site (link above) they have links to myspace and a few other spots to listen to a few tunes they've released. my fav was 'Oh Yeah'.

the inner-play between Anthony's bass and Smith's drums is pretty cool. Satch's guitar is meaty. he definitely went for a bluesy/rock kinda thing. on the stuff i heard - i wish he had let loose a little more. kinda seemed like he was intentionally holding back with anything really shred related. a few good moments, but i think he could have really let loose and didn't. i'm sure he was (is) very concious of the comparisons to Ed. the other thing that got a little old was Sammy's "ranting" in the songs. fun live, but gets old real fast on a perm recording.
