Basher Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Jay Lane Quits Furthur, Joins Primus Big news in Deadhead land today: Jay Lane will abandon Furthur after just a short 6 months to re-join Primus (Lane was a founding member). While the news hasn’t been officially announced yet, Phil himself confirmed it on the PhilZone today, stating that: “Over the past year, both Jill and I have come to know and love Jay for the great guy that he is. At the end of our tour he rode back on Bob’s bus and informed Bob that he had an opportunity to play drums with Primus. He and Bob discussed it, and they decided that the logical time to make the change would be after the birthday show. I only found out about this the day before the show; as their relationship goes back a long way, I told them both then that I support any decision they might make. I will miss Jay’s enthusiasm and ebullience; he’s a great guy to hang and play music with.†In response to whether or not Lane would be replaced Lesh said that both him and Bob feel it is best to continue on with Joe Russo solo on drums at this time. More to come as this story develops and formal announcements are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMack Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Too bad but hey, Russo will keep them straight.This got me looking at the website and the setlists I hadn't checked out. Looks sort of like by CO/OR they got a little more into the "formula" which is great I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I heard that Lane's father bilked them out of thousands of dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I guess that means Tim Alexander isn't playing with Primus anymore. Too bad- he rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
