You've just described the whole album!

Bring in a real producer for the next album (Bob Ezrin, Dave Fortman, Mutt Lange...not somebody too metal like Roy Z or Andy Sneap), someone who will make him really work like Martin Birch on TNOTB. Probably unrealistic, but so worth it if it actually happens!

... but the whole thing feels cobbled together without any care...

That's what bothers me the most.

Man, Roy should have a breathalyzer that stops him from posting while drunk.

 

[riff]

Bruce should cut ties with him altogether imo. They made some amazing music together in the 90s but those days are long gone it seems. A younger and more on-the-ball co-writer could really benefit him were he to make another solo record.

 

[Vaenyr]

Man, Roy really seems to be going through a hard time at the moment. I hope he finds the help that he needs and that he overcomes whatever he is going through.

Roy Z's drunken rants

 

[The Garlon]

This is why I didn't care when they announced Roy wouldn't be on the tour. The guy has issues and is past his prime. Bruce is a lot better off with two younger guys in the band, at least on the road.

This is a bummer, man. Those two made some real magic.

Maybe this is why Bruce wrote "Face In The Mirror" ?

Pics from Bruce´s gig on Graspop Metal Meeting this evening. (From HLN newssite)
They wrote about his "armpit ventilation".

Seriously, he's making himself irrelevant. There are so many talented musicians, producers etc. who could be approached for a collaboration, why take a risk and pick someone who potentially behaves like this.
Apparently he doesn't have anyone who could control him enough to stop him, for his own good.

Yep. More than 25 years ago.

We do not know if he is going through a hard time. What is pretty clear is that he is really pissed off with how he has been treated.

I'd argue that this still takes a toll on someone's mental health, no? We obviously don't know the details and can only speculate, but whatever is happening, Roy is clearly not happy at the moment.

Yes, but now he continues to do damage to himself.

 

[GhostofCain]

Yes, but now he continues to do damage to himself.

In a promotional sense?

In a promotional sense?

Yes, unless you're a really big name, you're so easy to replace if some detail gives rise to doubt or seems like a risk.
