Re: Who do you prefer? Buddy, Butch or Peter?

I prefer the band WITHOUT keyboards. There’s not enough Peter material to compare and it’s a small sample of the band’s catalog. So, it’s really down to Butch & Buddy...

I never cared for Butch’s contributions to the band and didn’t think the band needed to fill the space between the core five members. As such, I was not interested/enthused by them bring keys back to the band. That said, in this expanded line up, I’ve enjoyed the musical contributions that Buddy has made. His energy and enthusiasm have objectively invigorated the band. The trade offs between Buddy and Timmy have been awesome, as have those between Jeff and Buddy (although we’ve less of these at our shows). Dave and Carter definitely love playing with him. I love the B3 sound, so that doesn’t bother me and I do NOT want a rehash of anything Butch did.

As you can tell, I’m all about Buddy.
