Summer 2018 - Butch
Since it seems Butch is guesting in CVille tonight, would you like to see this lead to anything?

NOTE: I know this poll comes up every now and then, but I figured it would be fun to look at it now that it seems possible.

    Since I was never able to witness the band with Butch I would be a 110% for this. I prefer the era with Butch anyways.

    I’m down for a change. Could be a great catalyst to a more dynamic sound like 99-07

    This would be a better poll to start after we hear how he sounds tonight.

    Yeah, maybe Tim goes acoustic, Rashawn uses the mute, and the jazzy DMB sound comes back. Maybe the naysayers change their opinions!

    I'll vote tomorrow lol

    I liked butch in the beginning but then he got too much for me.
    I hate his solos and that they were taking away from bt and Roi.
    I loved his fill and what he added to songs though

    RR can go, over him for sure
    Put tim on acoustic too

    If we can get early Butch where he just filled out the sound and added depth to songs, sure! A lot of songs (Rapunzel anyone?) sound way better with keys.

    But if it's later-era Butch with 12-minute solos during Two Step, hard pass. That stuff was the worst. Adding an electric keyboard would be dope. Long electric keyboard solos? Never dope. Never dope at all.

    All I want is death metal Carter drumming, Tim turned up to 11, Dave's guitar taken away so he can do his cornbread dance, and Rashawn turned up louder than ever before. That's DMB!

    He adds a great dynamic to the music, but don't let him have tons of solos.

    it's not not going to happen though is it. it's like saying "Will the band really be back in 2018" despite everyone (i think including Dave now, right?) saying they'll be on the road

    My point is that we have no idea what he will sound like with the current lineup.

    On the WH setlist page, John D Earth is listed as a guest, but Butch isn't.

    100% agree. I posted this earlier in another thread, but wanted it heard here:

    This is the most excited I have been in quite some time. I have had a recurring dream since 2008 when he left where he is back in the band. As weird as that is. Butch brings out the old school acoustic DMB sound. Tim is too electric at times. Not complaining about Tim, but Butch is my kind of DMB sound. I miss the Bartender jams, the Jimi Thing scats, LIOG solo's, and Warehouse with keys. I hope to God he makes a reunion in 2018. He apparently wants to based on his Tweets. I would freak out. I'd easily add 3 shows to my normal 5.


    I miss the Rapunzel keys a lot as well. And Butch backup harmonies. Give me some Stay.

    My thoughts from the show tonight: I gave a very loud round of applause when Dave introduced Butch. My apartment neighbors probably hate me. They definitely snubbed Butch from the live stream. You likely wouldn't know he was there unless you were a big DMB fan looking for him. Warehouse was sweet with the keys back in it. I heard those organs on Seven tonight and it just adds another level to the song (more like the album cut).

    They freakin snubbed him tonight. Didn't even hear the keyboard till mid-Warehouse. I think that might have just been an issue with the mix.

    Then they completely left him out of the frame during the whole show.

    Yep - Raab, the bloody vocal coach, got WAY more shots than the guest pianist. It's fairly shocking. Why would they do that though?!
