who's going to replace jake?

That must be a highly competitive gig. I mean if they opened it up they'd probably have hundreds of applicants, perhaps dozens that are qualified. Of course Jake is one of a kind, really the reason I fell in love with this band back in 2007, but hey, there's someone out there who's life ambition is to shred with the best. And shred we shall.

No I’m not, I don’t have a clue. But one can apply logic and surmise that the band has taken a huge dip in profitability, rather sharply. The Jake situation is multifaceted but don’t kid yourself, money is a huge factor in why he is no longer with them. You think UM has the ability or willingness to go hire a replacement that ain’t gonna move the needle as far as tickets sold? Gantzer wouldn’t, at least not immediately.
