Well i can say from a skill level that it wasn't a big deal because the bass parts to weathered were relatively simple compared to how he wrote the bass parts for human clay and my own prison.

Plus you have to consider it's not like he hasn't played bass with the guys since he left during the human clay tour. He wrote two albums worth of material for alter bridge and then another albums worth for full circle, so i think having to learn the bass part to a few songs he didn't write doesn't bother him much.


Plus what people don't understand is that for (i won't say most) musicians, especially these guys, it's really about getting up there and playing and getting to do that every day that is the rush, it's not worth spoiling it by saying "i didn't write these few songs, so i hate them."

Plus Brian is just a cool fucking dude, and i think as long as he's having a good time he doesn't care.
