Thank you so much for this incredible interview.
I've always had my thoughts of why Alex left but was never sure and I am glad to know that there were musicians who think that TSO has become "a little much entertainment" for the aspect of musicianship in some ways (not everything). I still love TSO.
I've never thought the dancers were cool for this show. It takes away from the music and it used to infuriate me being younger. Regardless of how beautiful those girls are and how great they are at singing. The show is about emotion, music and the story. Sometimes the dancing was cool when they are singing in the background and etc.
Because I watch the West all time and frankly there has not been a show I loved as much when Skolnick was in the band. Because the show now in recent years seemed so choreographed until this year. Which was quite a step up from years before. More improvised solos and etc like him and Caffery used to do.
I'd love to see Alex come back some day but I totally get why he left. Nice to have some clarity.
I wonder what the "drama" was about? I figured everyone in TSO got along fairly well. Nice to hear some background on David Z too.
