anyway that's true what you said about Lb probably not being a good motivator...he seemed a little too intense and brittle about everything, and perhaps a bit arrogant. i have an old interview from around 88 w john, chris (and maybe Rick vito?)-- where chris was sort of explaining how LB left because he wasn't happy etc and things w the new members were going well... and john was sort of awkwardly hemming and hawing about how previously 'certain people' were 'acting 'holier than thou,' and how things in the studio had been difficult , not really being clear w what he meant until chris told him, 'just say it how it is, john.' and THEN he finally said 'certain people started preaching....which i don't think is music's message.' i'm assuming he was talking about LB, who must have been coming across as an arrogant ass. (although to be fair he was working the hardest on TITN, along w chris, so it makes sense that he may have been frustrated at everyone else slacking off and being weighed down by their own issues and addictions.)

but anyway, i think there were times when he was not a particularly good motivator!

He did an interview with Bass Player during the Time era and flat out said that he didn’t like how Lindsey was always telling him what to play instead of letting him put his own artistic stamp on the music.
