was Brett Tuggle bad for DLR's career?

[thome]

I was also peaking in 78 Opps i let the dizzy out of the dream bag.

Disregard above statement ,anyway ,Right on!

I dont remember one split second of those concerts untill i play
some tune and then Bang I want to call up some of my old Buds.

I was playing an old vid before i logged on tonight. Dance the Night Away to much fun to be had by ALL.

Me Wise Majic is so freekin cool .Its BIG just what i needed in96

I am so biased toward Dave its sad its all better than most of whats out there.So im.... weird .....oh Yes .

[bigc]

Fair enough.

it was just an interesting theory I had going.

I wasnt blaming Mr Tuggle,I just meant was it a mistake Dave adding him to the EEAS band.

Brett is actually the longest serving member of Dave's band, touring anyway, seeing as he was on the EEAS/Skyscraper/ALAE and YFLM tour. kudos for that Brett!

[ritetoolforjob]

the blame game continues....now it's brett tuggle's turn to be responsible for the once mighty dlr's pathetic demise. all tuggle did was supply dave with one of the biggest hits of his career but, more importantly, help carry dave live with stellar background vocals. yeah, brett tuggle ruined dave's career. what's next on the list? jason becker & his health problems?

[bigc]

I never said HE did.

I was just proposing a theory that the edge that the keyboards gave took away the rock edge.

I probably should have called the thread, did a permanent keyboardist damage Dave's career.

[ritetoolforjob]

i think dave's ego ruined his career. even after the biggest blunder of all, leaving vh, he still had an unbelievable band
to continue on with. instead, he couldn't have anyone too talented around him to steal any of his thunder, winding up with a faceless, paint by numbers backup band to tour ribfests and macdonald openings. DAVE TODAY SUCKS.

[jero]

he wrote Just like Paradise! A pretty big hit if you ask me!

[Polk High]

i don't think this tuggle guy ruined his career

[Polk High]

the 90's ruined dave's career

[bigc]

the ALAE tour did?

I've heard negative/read negative reports of it, the band was far from tight and Dave did a few too many monologues.

but yea..I was 4 at the time so my critical viewpoint isnt first hand

[Polk High]

Well his guitar player was injured and the rest of the band wasn't spectacular.

[zeronumber]

Tuggle helped dave's Career.

Let's face it, Tuggle helped make Dave's EEAS tour a success by bringing Keyboards, having the ability to play CFTH, and Jump as part of his setlist.

And let's face it, the songs he helped contribute to skyscraper kicked ass and helped it become the success that it was.

Its all good just different i think he was welcome fun and i dig that frakin album .My personal fave is YFLM and thats way diff .

Skyscraper is a close second. My op

thome I agree. YFLM followed by Skyscraper. I love it when Dave takes a tangent, change is what makes him the best frontman in history.

I HATE hair metal..........but for some fucking reason I've always LOVED JLP AND Skyscraper. Dave sounds like he's having a fucking blast(as always) and there are some GRATE tunes. Brett didnt ruin Dave's career.....for me, though there have been some critical missteps, his career hasnt been "ruined"......I don't judge those types of things on album sales. I do hate his current career path, though.

Tuggle's probably making more than Dave on tour nowadays in his association with Fleetwood Mac.

Instead of playing 'Just Like Paradise', he's playing 'Don't Stop'.
