why NOT working with Terry Brown?

Prince Bytor:

Mike,
I saw one of your earlier responses in which you mentioned that you would NOT be working with Terry Brown again. I thought he did a great job on the vocal production on SFAM; Why no Broon this time around?

Hey By-Tor,
Well....I guess I'm being pulled in to dish out some more dirt as you can find only here on the Forum at MP.COM!!

Well, a long story short - Terry is another person who has recently burned his bridges with us in the DT camp.

Basically, half way through the M2000 tour, we received word from his lawyer that he expected __ amount of $ from us for using his voice when we perform SFAM live.

Now Terry knew DAMN well when he recorded his voice as the hypnotherepist during the SFAM sessions, that it was a concept album that we would be performing everynight on tour....OF COURSE we would be using a sample of his voice in the performance being HE OPENS THE FREAKING CD and SHOW!!!!!!!!

Our **speculation** is that he may have been sore with us for not choosing him to mix SFAM which he expressed wanting to do (it was never an option as far as me and JP were concerned)...
he also bitched about not being credited as the hypnotherepist on the CD sleeve (we *purposely* wanted it to be an unbilled cameo)

Basically, he's a big bad cry baby who was looking to cash in on his voice being used on the CD & tour anyway he could....
(David Botrill's voice was on the CD and tour as the voice of Edward in Finally Free and he never complained....Theresa Thomason's voice was all over the CD and tour, never heard a peep from her...)

We eventually had to pay to Terry off to avoid a lawsuit and were forced to have somebody else come in for the Roseland show to play the hypnotherepist.

The guy is on the top of my s*it list and only succeeded to shoot himself in the foot because he now will never work with DT again, nor will we ever have anything nice to say about the guy who we thought was cool until this ridiculous incident!
