Finally got around to listening to this in the car earlier. It was good to hear Dave in good spirits. I skipped a bit of the golf stuff, but I really enjoyed the bit at the end. I've liked A7X since I was in high school when I first played Beast and the Harlot back on the old Guitar Hero games. I remember when The Rev died, and how hard that was for the rest of the guys in the band. It was really impacting to hear how Matt and the rest of the guys handled their own loss. The first thing I thought when I heard Shadows and Gates would be playing at the tribute concert was that they know what the guys in LP are feeling just as well as anyone, so hearing all of Matt's side of things was extremely comforting. I know Mike has made it known that he has every intention of carrying on with LP, but Dave alluded to that a few times as well when they were joking about their acid jazz phase lol. I just think that, grieving aside, the guys seem optimistic about the future. Of course, there's fear and pain involved in getting there, but they're warriors and keep taking all the right steps. Definitely looking forward to hearing the next podcast.
