Jeff leaving the band….
Is the best thing for the future of Goose.
With Cotter’s talent and style they’re a one percussion member band.
All great bands have a solid low end and that relationship is Cotter:Trevor.
Objectively Jeff doesn’t have a place in the band and arguably never did. Went back and listened to some older shows and he never found synchronization with Ben. As much a fault to Ben who couldn’t keep time. Example track that always comes to mind is “Drive”. Useless slapping around that distracts from the melody of the song.
They can go the umphreys route and turn his mics down and let him make a living or maybe have him sell merch or do the social media accounts.
There’s not a place for him in the business of Goose with the new economics of music industry, sadly.
