Well, he'll probably get further at college than with the advice the band has
been getting... they were really promising at first... but have become
successively more unfocused. I think much of that comes from relying on a guy
who didn't have much success writing, arranging, or producing his own
material to produce 'em...(the first album was OK, but perhaps they and Chris
Goss became too familiar to really motivate them...or they to really push
themselves to meet his standards). And actually, maybe that doesn't always
hold...For example, Bob Rock's own material is pretty horrendous... the lame
record he made with his own band of bar band hackers (as Canadian bands
go,the material didn't even rise to third-rate Loverboy level--what it
appeared to emulating) right after pulling off the production feat of
Metallica's black album is probably a case in point....
And this band had a lot of shots... major label deal, some good touring
slots... and they never managed to make much of it...
