48 hours until they hit the stage… and no announcement.
I still say there is chance he’s there on stage Friday night with nothing announced ahead of time. IMO they seem to not want this getting a ton of publicity. Simply moving on, as it was prior to the hiatus, can help accomplish that.
Here’s my logic - when Jake missed those shows a few years back ('22? '23?), everything felt different than it does now. Amongst people I know close to the band, there was talk of him needing to step away because of his drinking problem and relationship with his (ex)wife. It was an unfortunate situation but it wasn’t some weird ass secret and, at that time, the support was overwhelming. Bayliss shouting him out on stage. Getting the crowd hyped. Everyone close to the band felt like he would get straightened out and everything was going to be fine.
This situation is different. The same people I know close to the band that talked openly last time are being pretty damn quiet about this. There hasn’t been much support from Bayliss or anyone on stage.
To rephrase - he’s always had a drinking problem. So, to me, it’s obvious that something else happened that’s driving this. I’m sure the drinking is to blame here. But something new happened.
In a world where they’ve been struggling to move tickets, I can’t imagine them not using Jake’s return as a marketing effort.
I’ll be eating some portillos next week!
Who the hell is this guacamole guy
Jake to miss more shows
AI slop with no coney dog 
Carolina dog isnt on here either. Also havent seen a #1 yet from this guy.
Just another @OSUmBeaverPhreak burner.
I just assume everyone i havent met or seen in real life is a @OSUmBeaverPhreak burner
Where did you see this?
I imagine him in old age with memory loss getting into arguments with other accounts not realizing that he’s arguing with himself, kinda like A Scanner Darkly
Idk Perren, but anytime he’s subtly mentioned something about this, he hasn’t been wrong yet.
Perrens a dumb redneck. He dont know shit
Somehow i knew you or Dan were gonna say this lol. He just seems like a proper southern gentleman during my time here.
Any of us who would willingly pay tens of thousands of dollars to see this band should never be respected too much. We are all clearly damaged goods.
the ultimate test for a beef spot. if a place in chicago can’t deliver a gyro plate or a combo that spot will be up for rent real soon.
I feel like you could add pepper and egg sammies to your comment, and it would still be accurate.
He’s got the inside track from his cousin Scott. Bayliss > Tremonti > Scott > Perren.
