Re: What happened to his Tom's affect/drawl RE: (TV) Mtv brasil interview/Pretzel



The interview shows a more purposefulness in the band. The last item
showing them playing LJJ reveals new subtleties in a new arrangement.
Rip playing new rifs and adding atmospheric slide guitar. Rip can
imitate any guitarist he wants and it seems that he can play some
"Verlainisms" even better than Tom. We've been down this road before -
but maybe just maybe a new records might be in the offing.
