Thats exactly what it was:

Thank you. Somehow I managed to read the story twice and miss that part. Just an insane story. Would love to know how they were expecting this to work. You'd think that Patton would have had to have at least been involved for the art direction/lighting/videos/merch etc. for that tour, even if he wasn't rehearsing with them, so they should have at least had SOME interaction.
That speaks to how much they "think" they need him, which is clearly a lot. Would you ever work on something for 6 months without a guarantee of some sort? Also, not only did they leave cash on the table, I'm sure they lost cash, because of it. Not too mention all that time spent. Really eye opening what some of these guys are willing to do to stay relevant.
the 6 months is probably an exaggeration but Billy Gould owns the studio and they are all in the area so I wouldn't be surprised if they were working on new music etc just in case Patton wants to do that or jamming to get out of the house.

Recent Mr Bungle is terrible too. Patton had a good run but they can't all be Peeping Tom.

But waiting until the truck is en route is a total dick move for sure. A lot of people left in the lurch other than the musicians.

Last time I saw FNM and the last show to date was with Chuck, too bad that ain't an option.

Get Jim Martin back if Patton is flippant. He was always my favorite member.

When he left he took the balls of that band with him.
