ok, i gotta chime in here. the breakfast is my favorite. i think timmy, ron, and adrian are phenomenal and i love the music. however, i gotta say (even though gencs swears i\'ll change my mind), i\'m quickly losing my enthusiasm since jordan left. i respect what the trio is trying to do, but it just sounds hollow to me. that\'s the word that comes to mind. i hate thinking this, cause i love the guys and want to support them no matter what. but i think they need to find a keyboardist. to my ears it just sounds like an integral part is missing. keys are essential. i\'m really not a fan of timmy taking time out to work on the keys because i don\'t want to see him taking time out from the guitar! and it just doesn\'t sound right to me without the key parts there. again, it sounds hollow. they need someone on that instrument full time. it\'s killing me because i love the band and i love those guys as people, they\'re just so awesome. but i feel like they\'re pissing away their potential right now. if this is a temporary situation i\'d be fine with it, but from what i can gather they\'re not even trying to find a keyboardist. it just makes me really sad that i can\'t get excited about my favorite band anymore.
Not really. Just because he plays a theme longer on the keys does not make it better.
Thats not at all what I\'m talkin about. What I meant is the last few shows he\'s been much lighter on the keys. Aka using them less and more guitar. And the spots he has been using the keys have been a lot more tasteful.Basically what it sounds to me like you wanted....Have you heard Great Big Flaming Bollux from the last Providence(CenturyLounge) show yet? If not listen to that beautiful bean footage and tell me that\'s not some of the best Breakfast to date.
f*ck it, I might as well just kick back and enjoy the good ride
both versions of The Breakfast are great, i still get more excited for them coming to town than any other band. but that doesnt mean im downloading shows like i used to and listening to them 24/7 anymore. sure if they never had a keyboardist and i saw them tomorrow for the first time id be blown away, but knowing what they sounded like with the keys makes hearing them now so much less exciting. especially when youre filling in the texture of the organ in your head. it\'s especially distracting without jordan\'s organ.
I think y\'all are crazy. 3 piece breakfast has been what this band always needed in my mind. i think the first time i saw Tim and Adrian do a drums and guitar show and realized how badass just the two of them were was an eye opener. throwing ron into the mix makes it the perfect combination to me w/o too many chefs in the mix making a muddy soup.
^^^Ohhh, I thought that was you in the tent @ Great Went..."some chicks roll up in Vee Dubs, and their pits aren\'t shaved, but, whatever, we\'re all here to party and drink beers, its not like its their choice.... *pssssshhhhhhh!!!* this is how you shotgun a beer... yeah theres swhwag and theres kind bud, kind buds got no seeds and its got more tetrahydacannanobidole the shit that gets you high.. REPRESENT BOIIIII"
Every show I go to that is local, I am hoping with all my heart that when I walk into the venue, Jordan\'s keys are set up on the right side of the stage. I love these guys, but I just don\'t understand how anyone could consider things better without him. I know my excitement level leading up to shows has diminished since he left.
