Fascinating stuff. I find it funny that bass players are relatively cheap since it's a common trope that bass players get no respect.

On a related note, I read recently about how Def Leppard had a deal where Capitol Records owned exclusive rights to distribute Def Leppard's catalog, but they couldn't distribute it without Def Leppard's permission. The problem was that performers get a much smaller cut of streaming and digital sales revenue than they do for physical sales. Def Leppard naturally thought they should get the same cut no matter how the music was distributed, and because Capitol refused to renegotiate, Def Leppard refused to allow Capitol to distribute their music. They were at an impasse, so Def Leppard's solution was to go into the studio and record new versions of their classic songs that sounded as close to the original versions as humanly possible and then sell those and get 100% of the profit instead of having to split it with a label. They called them "Forgeries". Lead singer Joe Elliot had the hardest job having to sound like he did 20-years ago, but they did darn good. I think only the most discerning listener would have any idea these aren't the originals. (But I understand they've since settled their differences, so the originals are available for sale again.)

We only have about 50 demo tracks and hundreds of small loops, phrases, etc. We just need to have the time to get serious and track it.

That's because Steve Clark is no longer among the living.

Yep sad day when he passed. EVH says no one had tone like Steve and knew what to do with it.
