Eric has a lot of cred amongst musicians most of the people in Austin that know him love the man so I wouldn't sell him short. Yes his latest output has been lacking but I have felt everything after Decon was crap. Perhaps its just easier for him at this point to go tour with Garbage for a year and then dick around for a few years until he needs money again. He was already part of something new and exciting and at the time revolutionary, maybe he is not geeked on that, or maybe Trent saw his heart wasn't really in it and fired him.CaseyContrarian wrote:That doesn't mean it's not fucking pathetic and stupid. He won't have the opportunity to perform or record with musicians of this caliber (and renown) ever again in his lifetime, I guarantee it.Juana wrote:Sure he pissed away an opportunity but it was his to piss away. Would I have walked away, probably not but everyone is different. And not everyone can handle working with someone like Trent. IE: Maynard with the tapeworm project.
Judging from Belew's comments about the dropped tuning, maybe Eric didn't want to tune down again like he did on NINJA tour?
