It all depends on the previous dynamic. For example, I don't think MP ever even attempted coaching or criticizing JR's play. Whereas he likely did that with JLB's singing
So, while JR was seeing MP's influence as too much, he was still "untouchable" by MP in his own domain. JLB had no such safe domain..

Oh yeah, I do think that there's probably irreparable damage done between Mike and JLB, JM, and maybe JP as well though to a lesser extent.  Things leading up to the split, and things said after.

Sorry, but please someone clearify this for me: How this post belongs here, and the "MP joins TS" doesn't? I don't want to confrontate with anybody, just wanna be clear about the forum rules. Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure this forum is for current members of DT and various things about them.  Although, for DT side projects, that stuff goes in general music.  When it is a current member of DT it is a little more blurry.

Visa issues, I believe.

To the best of my knowledge: It's because JR is involved. If it was just MP who played with Haken, then this would not belong here.
And if spirit's a sign,
Then it's only a matter of time

Saw this on Haken's FB page.  Pretty cool.  MP & JR have good taste in music.

There's a joke in there somewhere about Nick and "great head" but I'll let someone else work it out.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
