Most people would if they had a solo effort to be released in four or five months and was counting on their record company's support to promote said solo effort.
Tremonti and Phillips are free to stomp their feet and pout and disagree with it all they want......they will be dealing with Windup to handle their next album all in due time. What if Windup says....ya know...they didn't play nice when we put out that Greatest Hits deal...why should we go out of our way? What I want to know is if they are so against it....why haven't they voiced that opposition? Maybe cause they don't want to ruffle any feathers at Windup....ya think? We actually wouldn't even know they aren't happy, and didn't want the release, but for Michael felt the need to tell us Stapp was lying.
Doesn't mean its fair....but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
