Joe's take on the Wombat...

[Andrew]

I think Joe makes it clear that it's not the negativity that upsets him, it's the fact that the review was of an unfinished product.

This is sad and funny at the same time - as I NEVER actually gave a negative comment about the QUALITY of the songs, so the unfinished product grudge just doesn't fit.

I said it was a lame idea from the very start, some 12 months before I even heard a note (and still think so) and I also commented that some of the song choices were lame. A few were good, but mostly forgettable.

Interesting...Drew you did fly all the WAY there, shame it didn't happen. I DO find it hard to believe that Joe knew everything that went on backstage...I wonder what was said to Drew...some 'hangar-on' knew of the controversy and said something maybe?

Tour manager said "I don't think so..."

Friend of both bands talked to the guys (who I don't know), then came to me and said they are really uncomfortable with me being around and then there was the fact I was told by JSS that Joe didn't accept my words before I left were sincere.

That = me keeping my distance.
