Tips for optimizing the DMB sound

Hire Jake Simpson full time.

Give Tim Reynolds an acoustic guitar.

Tim is banned from playing the exotic sounding Phrygian scale except if the song calls for it (eg the band is playing The Last Stop.)

If Tim plays Phrygian during a sweet song like Crash or #41, his guitar is taken away for the next show but he still has to go on stage.

Jeff Coffin required to drink 3+ beers before show start to make his solos more emotional. This will add heart and soul to his technically impressive playing.

Take the mic off Rashawn’s trumpet.

Rashawn can keep trumpet but must stand in parking lot during show.

And there you go! I’m confident that these changes will further enhance the sound we all know and love.
