So they should just get a bassist for the sake of equilibrium?
I think if they don't have anybody in mind, they shouldn't just jump into hiring anyone. Think about it...if they just hold auditions or something and add a 4th member...record the album and then things go sour, they've got this guy who joined the band for one record, put them through shit, and now is sitting back making fat royalties off their record. Brian would probably live just fine off of MOP and HC...at least for the next 5 or 6 years. It's a pattern as well. Notice how many more copies of MOP were sold after HC came out? The same will happen again once Weathered drops in two weeks. It's just the way it works. So, if they've got Mark playing bass on this album, it's much better for them in the long run. They just have touring bassists for a while...sort of break them in on the road and see how things go. If they hit it off with one then maybe they'll record album #4 with them. I think they're really smart by waiting. Good business move...
