During the reunion and subsequent TBF rehearsals (recall the band was rehearsing like mad men for weeks and weeks prior to actually going in to the studio to record TBF), especially at the beginning before they may have had the new album completely written, did the band ever jam on some of the "old material"? If so, what songs and how were they arranged? Were the keys dropped for SP and, if so, by HOW MUCH?
I ask these questions because so much was made out of SP not being able to tour, and HH even made some comments that he "knew" that SP would never tour...I wonder HOW the band was planning on pulling off a tour? What was the plan? They must've felt confident to some extent that SP could sing the material to some acceptable degree...right???
Anyone have any "insider" info they can share on this topic?
