Butch Walker playing guitar for Train for European summer tour

Post by gtrjay »

Butch is touring with Train this summer in Europe. Believe they are 2 weeks into 3-4 week tour. Their guitar player had new baby with wife and needed time off for summer.

Pat from Train posts video on all the socials daily from their song “If it’s love” when he says a line about cell phones up in the air. And does a crowd / band shot. Butch usually makes a funny face and the guys seems like they are having a great time.

Butch has wrote/cowrote songs for Train. Produced albums. And share management. Makes sense he had a fun summer playing their hits.

Once upon a time, Butch Walker blocked me on Facebook when I told him it was OK to start rocking again instead of writing ballad after ballad that get skipped over and over again. He told me to go fuck myself and said he wasn’t Dokken or Nickelback.

Two bands which obviously have everything in common.

I like Train though!

Marvelous 3 "Ready Sex Go" and his solo album "Left of Self Centered" was the pinnacle of his career........and what was that, almost 30 years ago?

From "Letters" to today has been throwaway drivel.....
