I read by hand about the time to come I listen to the sea and see the time that was I'm talking to mountains and time stands still I talk to myself and time passes
I close one eye and looks half
I close both and sees everything

Because he’s the only one with somewhat chemistry with Andy… I would guess that this is not the case. John and Andy have always had a great relationship, and John even said in the video he made "I wish I was there too", so thats one. Simon 2. Roger is good with Andy, and they share the 'worst wounds'. So that just leaves Nick, and perhaps Nick really doesn't care one way or the other, as long as the music/songs comes first. For sure he is the one with the weakest link to Andy. As for 'chemistry', I think it's more that the band want to record in a proper London studio, and that means John and Andy recording there stuff in corners of the world, and sending it through to them. Nick would much rather be in London - controlling it all. Lets not forget, all anonymity was broken as soon as the man started dying, so I'm sure there is no ill feelings towards Andy, from anyone connected to the band, at all.

At this point I believe Andy has a certain amount of Carte Blanche; and it’s not unfathomable to think that over the years he has written a song, or multiple songs that he feels are potentially great DD songs. I believe that at this point the rest of the band would say , ‘ let’s do it’.

^ Not sure if it's all that. No need for a big fanfare. In fact, quite the opposite, as it all sounds pretty low-key to me so far. And yet... very exciting.

You don't need an entire band in the studio to record a track lol. You don't even need to be in the same Country. All this reading into things gets us no closer to the truth. I'm not reading into anything. I am just surprised.
Andy is dying, so this is the last chance for John, Roger, Simon and Nick to work with him in person.
This is not an ordinary recording with people scattered everywhere because anyway who cares, they can share files online and meet together in "x" weeks for an interview or a concert rehearsal.
It's a fact that despite the context of a death sentence for Andy, only Simon went to Ibiza to work with him. John "wished to be there" : I'd be curious to know what is actually restraining him to do so.
Without counting that apparently only Simon went to Ibiza to bring the RRHOF prize to Andy in person. I found then and still find it odd.
Just my feelings. Kindly don't try to convince me that everything is OK and normal, because it isn't. It's sad, whatever the musical result will be.

It's already been noted that they are NOT reuniting as a unit. It's a guest appearance that's been way overblown by fans and unconfirmed reporting. There is nothing about any concerts with him. Manage expectations. :-)

My $$$ would be yes and if he was healthy enough to join them at RRHOF..I doubt they would even be doing this "special project" whatever the finished product may entail?

Also, on the Ibiza subject, if Andy and DD didn’t split in 2006 I reckon he’d have definitely shown up for the Ibiza concert too if his health was fine and he wasn’t battling this awful disease.

Harold Technically, he has been battling this disease for the last 4 years..he was doing things with Reef and touring all that time too and doing solo shows...

It’s a given fact that DD can’t create with AT (unworkable gulf) this has been proven on two occasions and it’s this is not due to a lack of not trying
Not sure what happened at the time of recording 7 but but that’s where it all began I guess
Just because AT is in the unfortunate predicament he is undergoing, I’m not sure what would change from a creative creating stand point ?
Let’s be real people, it’s a known fact that dd with Andy are passionate when creating and there’s arguments a plenty and dd have even stated that this is the case, even in instances when AT hasn’t recorded with them, and it’s just the 4 of them, it’s simply/obviously how dd create who can change this? It is what it is then
So with that said, “why would they want to be in this situation of arguments, especially while AT is undergoing his trying time and they themselves are also feeling for AT during this trying unfortunate predicament/time?”
If slb can make it face to face with him to harmonise while AT sticks some licks/riffs down for one or two tracks, so be it, it’s better than nothing
I take what JT says with a grain of salt, knowing all the background, if he wanted to be there he would, it’s fair enough that he may have other priorities at this time off course JT is likely to say “I would have loved to be there”, it’s a positive thing to say
Let dd do what whatever works for them I say
