Not gonna lie….he always seemed like the odd man out at shows. The only one with any sort of energy too.
I wonder if it has anything to do with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3ukVReuchw
I can’t tell if that’s the guitarist or bassist on the video, but whoever it’s not is missing. And it looks like the roadies are grabbing monitors before they can be destroyed, so it doesn’t appear as if it was planned…
Doug wasn’t at that show. That’s Damien in the video.
Thanks for pointing that out about Doug not being there-I didnt know that.
I don’t think it was planned. I think I read that Wes was ill, got pissed off, and went on a rampage. Also read that his son was in the audience watching. Ha.
The burnseason dude is taking an easy bass gig for some extra cash? Good deal.
Band is still doomed
wow, first Upchurch, then Phillips, now Ardito. I guess Wes is the new Amy lee. and they do suck live, which might be a manifestation of a lack of cohesion.
i don’t know if this spells the beginning of the end of POM.
I agree, they do suck live. And DAMMIT Damien, finish some work… either Burn Season or Society Red.
I love puddle of mudd since 2001. and after 2005 they did a lot of shit things that I never expected.
Come on Damien, more Society Red. Can’t blame ya for collecting a paycheck though.
Phillips is back in the band though. I guess he came back for vol 4.
