Oh I agree, but at the same time (playing a bit of devil's advocate here), I also feel for Monte. Monty has worked for even more years than Adam, and what has that gotten him? YEARS of backing Madonna hasn't given him much, if any, name recognition and it hasn't made him rich. Backing Adam has given him more name recognition, but any profits on the tour go to Adam. Monty's a contractor. The Citizen Vein stuff is a PARTNERSHIP. Him and Adam. 50/50. Both for the writing and for the performing. Anything they write together for Adam #2 is a partnership. Equal profits for songwriting. If Adam doesn't select Monty's songs, or doesn't want to release Citizen Vein material, Monty can't get any credit or profits. He's just back to being a contractor. No matter how much he may love Adam as a friend, that situation must chafe. Monte is forced to watch the fruits of his labor and creativity swing on the decisions of someone else. Monty can't push anything without Adam. And Adam isn't likely to make decisions based on Monty's desires. If I was Monty's wife, watching my husband's disappointment, I'd probably be frustrated and disappointed too. That said, expressing that frustration on Twitter....bad move. I get what you are saying, but given that this album is so crucial to Adam and if he doesn't want to go in the direction Monte wants to go in, should he possibly jeopardize his beliefs to please a friend ? Hasn't he done enough already ? Sorry, but if a friend demands that of one, they are not truly a friend IMO. Adam's coat tails are ridiculously wide, carrying a lot of his friends and family, BUT entitlement is not sexy , in friends as well as fans! [wry laugh] I'm agreeing with everyone else that Adam HAS to make this second album the best damn product possible in order to solidify his career. Pick the best songs, collaborate with the best writers, etc, etc, etc. However, Monte can KNOW this, ACCEPT this, and yet still be horribly disappointed in it. Life just sucks sometimes. And maybe (b/c after all this is pure speculation), Monte was really excited and anticipating a collaboration on Adam #2 or the upcoming concerts that...just didn't happen. And he's feeling the sting. The songs were wrong, he wasn't "big" enough. Whatever. Even though you might know something is a business decision, doesn't make it hurt less. The person who Monte is most likely to express his hurt to is his wife, Lisa. And Lisa...tends to run a bit at the mouth. Particularly when she's stressed. NONE of this should make Adam change his mind about how he thinks best to assemble Adam #2. It just potentially explains why the rant occurred today. No one is being evil or intentionally hurtful. Nonethess, people are obviously feeling hurt. Take with large mound of salt. |

He's throwing out the shiny toy to distract us. He needs a new toybox, though. We've already raided his old one. Would this work? Would it be big enough? j/s   |
