yeah nice interview, we now can see how the real situation with Jim is

Not really so keen on reading a long interview... anyone care to give me the low down on what's up with Jim?

Thanks

Usually I don't like Pringels that much but maybe I should get a can! You can use it for so many purposes (beyond smuggling alcohol into venues that is) (http://www.time.com/time/business/ar...811730,00.html)

Other than that I'm just happy for them for getting so many positive reviews and so much positive feedback on the new album

Fletcher seems pretty angry.

I have finally gotten around to listening to the new album, and it rocks. Maybe that's just because it's some new material, but I don't know. I really like it.

Yep! lol

I heard the new record, just to hear the new guy's voice. He sings OK, but the guitar tone is just awful. Pennywise is a good band, but they are really repetitive. They keep making the same record. I used to have 6 or so records from them...but it just got too boring. They need to evolve - not necessarily easy to do and still maintain your roots...but it's just more of the same everytime!

Dunno, understandable I think ... the whole thing could have been handled differently from Jim's part (without having been there and actually having only listened to a couple of interviews that is). But one should think that if you're in a band together (and kind of friends maybe) and have been for decades that there would be enough honesty and trust to put things on the table just the way they are ...

Not gonna happen I guess . They probably could (like any other band) but why would they? It's their style and their way and as long as they're enjoying it (thankfully more and more again obviously) it's all good.

I looked him up a bit because I thought he seemed dickish in that excerpt... dude sounds like a total asshole. Jim wanted to spend time with his family, and Fletcher is bitching. Sorry, Jim was the lead singer, wrote the lyrics, etc... and the guitarwork on Pennywise albums is nothing special; it's the lyrics and singing that make it what it is. Sounds like Jim wanted out for very good reasons, and he's probably better off not working with a dick like Fletcher.
