We picked Geoff because he was a heavy drummer, a good rock drummer. He has a lot to learn in other styles but he’s a lot tougher than Denny Seiwell. Denny was good, knew all his stuff, all the musical terms but in my opinion didn’t have the fire that Britton has.
As for Jimmy, it’s not that he’s a better guitar player than Henry McCullough but he’s more together. He can listen to what we want and play it quicker without putting it through any changes.
Like Henry always took a long time to get exactly what he wanted. He liked to go through all these trial things and we couldn’t afford that.
In a sense, it was a relief when they left.
