Gathering Of Kings - First Mission

[Geoff]

The worst thing is, I am not sensing any desire or plan at all to do any songs either. Recruiting every musician on the planet seems a far bigger priority than, I dunno, making some fucking goddamn music.

[Stefan]

Ha. Read his name as "Jonas Ballsack." Ughh, I need a drink.

[Geoff]

All I read was that he will be busy recording for two other bands, working with a studio, and that he is also building a new drum studio. So the obvious question, is why on earth has he signed on with this "band" and when they hell would he actually contribute to it? Oh, I know. No one ever will, so he's like everyone else in the "band."

 

I kind of wish they'd just fuck off now...

[Glen]

Yep, there's actually scheduled to be 18 bassists by the end of the month, and 46 drummers by the end of the year. You need these kinds of numbers when you record songs that don't exist...

[KarpetRydOFunk]

I'm really hoping this turns out to be the album of the year, just to make us eat our own words. But I highly doubt it.

Will the studio be big enough for all of them? ?
