I am really not trying to be a hater though. I know how important this band still is for some of you and i am not trying to kick anyone while they are down

Agreed 100%. I want someone who might have more of a groove oriented swag with some swing over a prog rock drummer who can shred hard as fuck. Jake does enough of that for the entire band.

Alright Bort let’s play my favorite game. Fuck one, marry one, or kill one from this post.

Who would’ve bet on Myers being the first one kicked out of the band for their behavior?

Dying at the stories from Kris’ tenure, thanks @cryan024. I’ll add one in.

I knew a few girls (2 or 3) who were fangirling/groupie-ing hard for him and one of them went so far as to proclaim “oh we’re dating and he helped me through a tough time”. She was dead set that they were dating. That last part of the sentence (he helped me) got brought up to non-Kris member, and the non-Kris member was like “what in the fuck are you talking about? He never has even mentioned you”. Pretty funny slapdown for a quick bang who thought it was more.

Interested to hear Zwang with them. Annoucement sounds like they’re hoping it works out with him behind the kit long term - “connecting with Scotty last fall uncovered something special - an intangible spark we’re excited to explore further”.

Not super familiar with Sunsquabi or Dopapod, but agree with Colin:

I can think of two of my exes who fooled around with him too

I am not a sadboi though so it just made me laugh and give him respect. Was proud of them as their friends too. Girls deserve fun

Beating skins across the scene literally and figuratively for decades

I think someone mentioned it earlier in the thread but yeah, if you’ve seen Umphrey’s more than 10 times you guaranteed know a chick who has gotten on-base with Kris Myers.

Can Scotty sing at all, even just mids on backup? That could be a reason (besides having performed with him before) that he’s a more reliable go to than Fro, even though I’d love to see Fro behind the kit with UM. Fro rules, and super nice too.

I bet that rule of thumb holds true for most bands. I even know a girl who dumped her man mid-acid trip at Dicks because Gordo made out with her and another girl we know (both babes, good for him) and gave them free tickets so she thought it meant he wanted to see her again. He didnt. It was a really shitty moment for her boyfriend spun but they made up and i got a lifetime memory

Why do you know so many people who cheat on their partners with musicians? This is like the 5th connection you’ve mentioned lol
