Obviously something is going on behind the scenes regarding the G04 line up. All I can say without facts is hope things work out for you all. The classic line up will always be Allen, Burnham, Gill, King although I loved Sara’s era as well.

C’mon Dave, even I can play Uniform!

And I found All Lined Up on youtube the other day. Good to hear it again.

@Hugo

Hugo,
I’m quite distressed to hear that, to me this hoped for period with the original four was all too brief. Of course I’m excited for new material but that news takes the luster off a good bit. I only wish that I will be able to see you with them again live at some point.

I am just grateful that this blog / site exists and Dave is kind enough to share the info, special tracks and keeps us up to date on anything regarding GO4. Bring on ‘08!

Ease up, Starsky! Dave, by all means give Jim Dooley my e-mail address….no problem.

In the interest of that public discussion (and if anyone else is interested) - sadly, I am not being included in future G4 works. It’s complicated, of course, involving management and money issues - but I am not a willing ‘non-participant’. My post above was meant to be humorous/teasing. Dave and I have been friends for many years…unlike his relationship with JK and AG…and recent months of avoidance and non-communication have been a shame. But spats pass…

As far as I am concerned, I am G4’s ‘real’ drummer, and while they plough forward with writing and recording new material with a session guy - which I wish them luck with and hope they enjoy - I would expect to be involved with any ATP/Don’t Look Back-type events…being the right and honest thing to do.

Regards,
Hugo Burnham

Jim, I take offense at that statement. This blog is run by me and me alone and everything I post here is as open and straightforward as can be. You may have trouble with other blogs or you may just be a person that tries to belittle people like me who run highly-trafficked blogs, I’m not sure what you’re agenda is. You refer to the comment by Hugo B. As Hugo B is presumed by you to be Hugo Burnham and said Hugo B has publicly stated a position here it’s surely up to you and the said Hugo B to come to terms with how much more info I should give you about Hugo B. All I ask of you is - are you a G4 fan or a journalist or maybe both? What exactly are you fishing for? And would you like Hugo Burnham’s email address so that you two can share email, and then you can return with information for us all and we can have a public discussion here? As for Gang of Four downsizing the answer is no, we are still a four-piece.

One of the troubles with blogs – lots of postings but concrete information remains scarce.
