This is the kind of story that's really not worthy of the band or fans. This is hair metal drama lol. I'm ALWAYS more interested in the music than this crap.

I agree. Plus it makes Andy sound like both a brat, and a knucklehead, which I'm sure he isn't.

I had no idea AT had been dropped from a tour with the psychedelic furs, another with david lee roth, and another opening for heart. Must have been while his solo career was withering on the vine. The manner in which he left DD the first time, eg tried to sue them moving forward as a solo artist without them, insist that they change the DD name, (failing with both✅), having signed his own contract behind DDs back, only playing on notorious outta legal obligation, all that plus this and including all excuses in the last chapter of his book let alone drinking 2 bottles of red per night while attempting to complete Reportage, may not define him as a whole yet the pattern of such erratic behaviour, does define the character he is to a considerable extent.

Wasn't his nickname Knuckles or something? Him and Simon would always get into fights. That's what I got from old articles.

learning about this just makes me think with regret, more success if andy didnt leave at all, how much bigger DD could have been!
