I felt like I would let the thread breathe for a bit before I post my reasons.. didn't want to stir the pot right away.
But here goes... I've listened to most shows in '18 and '19. Watched periscopes.. attended four shows last summer.
To me, he's added no value to the band. I don't notice him at the show or in recordings. If I do notice him, he's because he's blaring the organ. What he plays isn't musically interesting, and the organ sound is laughable.
On the flip side, I liked Butch. Butch wasn't the greatest piano player either but he added a nice 'jazzy' touch to the music. Loved him in OSW, Jimi, LIOG, Two Step etc.
The 5 rating last year was based on what I knew at the time. New energetic, happy seemingly fun guy.. who I had hoped would switch over to piano. I don't know how many people thought he would continue playing the organ forever. I get that he sometimes does play piano, but I haven't noticed because it's not interesting to me.
