We're talking a four-month difference from November 2008 to March/April 2009. It's already a long time if it comes out in the fall...what's another four months to the band?

And that song in the video is not Sugar Will. Let that dream go, please.

people want it to sound like sugar will, when in all reality, its most likely not sugar will. as much as we want it to be.

What you are hearing is the jam in Sugar. The guitar riff is very similar to the many different runs Dave did throughout 04' and the same goes for Roi's run as well.

It sounds different because it's a cannabalized version that's all.

It is Sugarwill.

It is Sugarwill.

Would make sense why Dave exclaimed that it "SOUNDS FAST." I don't quite hear it, but then again it's a .05 second clip. Who knows. Could be an uptempo reinterpretation of Sugar Will's music

[marco j]

I guess it's possible that it is some sort of song that is in the Sugarwill vein but I doubt it, especially since Sugarwill sounds like nothing they've ever done before.

If it is a new song born out of Sugarwill's inspiration, then what I've always said is true.

Sugarwill is the path to a rebirth of new dMb that pushes boundaries, while allowing room for improvisation and growth in a way much like they began.
It's right up Roi and Carter's alley.

I hope its not Sugar Will, that way we will have two kickass songs instead of one.

^What if it was a rebirth of Sugar Will...as in totally different lyrics, but a definite evolution from Sugar Will? I think that's the optimum possibility for Sugar Will making a return at this point...

I don't mind the roadtesting. I'd be fine hearing the whole thing live first --honestly, I wouldn't care. As long as its a quality product and that road testing helped, then let it be.

i agree...afterall, for the longest time, everyone's "ideal album" (including my own) was entirely composed of songs that they've been "roadtesting" for at least a year or two in some capacity; with a new studio album, what's the difference whether it's made up of older new songs that you've had live recordings for for a few years or brand-new songs that you've inevitably played on repeat at least 9849328402 times all summer long?

half the fun in a studio album is seeing how songs show up in their more "finalized" forms...believe or not, songs can and do evolve in the studio, too

What's the thing about May 12th. I read back, but couldn't find it. Is that like an info release date or something?

.

Apparently it's supposed to be a bunch of info. I can't even recall the original source although it came from TDC.org

It's probably nothing

[BigEyedFerg]

May 12th makes sense, though --- just in time to build up a bit more hype for the tour and (assuming the site is up for like 4-5 months) rounds us out at an October release, which is what some people seem to be predicting now

yeah wow it seems like he should have. so many songs would sound so different (not as good) without his fills/influence. even songs where he isn't that prominent like satellite are noticeably worse without him

[marco j]

Can you feel it?



.......return of Sugarwill is coming!!!

[DerekJTR2]

ho hum, Sugar Will ain't great
