I once read in one of this site’s q/a that Ken Caillat — or was it Keith Olsen — thought John’s playing was too busy. I’d say John ignores LA-session player approaches that prioritize guitar and keys and vocals over a creative and driving rhythm.

Well, and who wants to take orders from some newbie, 4 years your junior, telling you what you're supposed to play?

I mean, Lindsey's vision is what made them superstars, but I totally get how John felt.
