Bobby J. (the dummer) is answering questions RIGHT NOW. Post your questions on the Facebook page for Sick Drummer Magazine:
https://www.facebook.com/sickdrummermag?hc_location=streamHe answered one of my questions:
Q: Bobby, you've played with both Arch/Matheos and Fates Warning, which are fronted by equally brilliant John Arch and Ray Alder, respectively. What's your take on what they both bring to a band and differing styles in the studio and on stage? Also, can you give any insight on why it's taken FW nearly a decade to release a new album -- for example, was there some disagreement amongst band members on the songwriting direction that delayed new material, or did some other factor cause the long hiatus?

Bobby Jarzombek: Michael, Yeah, Ray and John are a bit different stylistically these days. Both great singers! I think Ray is more of a natural talent, and John leans more of the technical side. Lyrics and melodies. I think things just got delayed because we're all doing different projects at the same time. I'm glad to finally (after this many years) have a CD coming out.
