Biggest wish(es) for the new Live record! Options

[thefunkyredcaboose]

With the guys finishing up the record this week (wish we knew if that was recording, mixing, or mastering!), what are your biggest wishes for the record? I'll get started:

-I want to hear PD play slap bass. He is so freaking good at it and I think it adds a whole new dimension to Live's sound.

-I'd like to hear CT give us one more solo like Honest Man. I know he doesn't like solo'ing, but that solo is awesome and perfect for the song, just like his Graze solo.

-One re-recorded b-side that we've never heard. I don't want an album of this, but I'd love it if they dropped one b-side on the record like New City, Change (I know we've heard it but I'd love a good quality version), or Wash the Blood Away. That would be smoking.

-Good album art. This is subjective, I know, but the last 3 Live albums have had really uninspired art. I'd love to see something truly unique like TDTH or TC.

Sean Hennesy played that solo (as well as the other TGF solos), even if you can see CT in the music video.
Sean Hennesy also performed all the solos while on stage (saw them live in Cologne last year).

Chad's only attempt at soloing that night (during "Guilty Fever") was weak. But I don't blame the guy for that as he's more of a 'killer-riffs' guitarist.

If you have the Cologne bootleg, you can listen to the song : Chad and Sean are doing a kind of 'Question/Answer" solo and you can easily hear the skill difference between the two.

You can expect a Graze-like solo performance on the next album, but don't expect something technical like in Honest Man.

Actually, you are completely incorrect. Honest Man is the only solo that CT performed on the TGF album, and it is totally a CT style solo. It isn't technical at all but has a really unique sound. Hennessy is a much better technical guitarist and it is totally obvious that that isn't his solo. It's way too muddy to be SH work.

Also, CT is on record saying he wrote that solo, but it's the only one on the record.

Has there been any confirmation that Hennessy performed on the album?
