RE: Richard will be on it / RE: (TV) 4th Album



Not to beat this to death :>) , but...

Regarding Blackmonk's "I I don't think they'd want to put out an album that featured the guy 
who isn't in the band any more."

Bands have been putting out albums since the begining of recorded time that included the
playing by a member that had left the group.

Re:  "If Richard Lloyd played any of the solos, I'd guess that Tom would replace those."

I disagree.  Although T.V. may be partly (or even mostly!?!) responsible for Richard leaving
Television due to Tom being such a control freak , not allowing Richard input and to be part of
decision making, I really doubt T.V. would stoop so low to erase all of Richard's guitar parts
and re-record them.  

If nothing else Tom's too freakin' lazy to start all over.  Moreover, on 1992's Television III,
Verlaine takes credit for the lyrics but gives full credit to the other 3 band members;  rear
cover reads,"Songs" Tom Verlaine; Music: Television".   

'Blackmonk', I'll tell you what, when the 4th album comes out if there's none of Richard
Lloyd's guitar playing on it, then I'll buy you the cd [or internet download] and mail it to
you.
