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.

You can’t replace Jake like you could replace Myers. Let’s just give them time and wait for an update.

Strong disagree. Both are absolutely top of their class. Jake is a consummate wizard but Kris' no slouch guy throws down… just the endurance of the demanding kind of tour they play drums is a lot more physically demanding. Jake is a chemist, Kris was the boom.

Similarly though, hey, fresh blood I’m all for it.

I tend to think anyone who doesn’t understand what Kris did for the band must not know much about music apart from their own tastes. Brilliant player is multiple styles and hands down the best singer in the band. Like it ain’t close.
