My opinion is clear.

Though the Sausage CD might be the best overall listen from beginning to end... |

| | Howzit brah | | Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: Kauai, HI | | I'd vote for Primus, hehe in any form...w/ the Frog Brigade a close second (in any form). I guess people like: Mike Miner, Perm Parker, Peter Libby, Robbie Bean, Tim 'curveball' Wright & Jack Irons, for that matter, are just -drummers of the forgotten past? That being said, I dig Herb (he brings the Heat) and Jay Lane very much so. In fact, I've never heard Jay Lane make 1 mistake live (seen a multitude of CCFFFB shows), guy Believes in Every hit (also plays jazz like a mofo, see Charlie Hunter). Brain, ehhh - he's Really Really Good but I just hear so much more emotion and Style from the afore mentioned duo...
To ramble more: Todd Huth has a voice all his own on guitar -no doubt- but IMO Ler takes it a step Furthur, and much more.. Out
someday jambands or jambase should hire me to get the brutal, non-candy-coated truth, haha
must sleep soon
forgot to mention - I am Not a fan of the 'fancy band' in any way shape or form.

Whereas Tim had a lot of subtleties to his playing that made the interaction between him and Les really electric! |

Followed by the Frog Brigade and then Tim and Ler. (that classic lineup with Herb is the only one I've seen live. Herb DOES bring the heat...It was like Rush on acid.)
The two 'supergroups' looked great on paper, but just didn't do it for me.
I'm still undecided on the Fancy Band.
