C'mon people, give the guy a chance. Granted, Brent has only been
with the band for a little while, but how do you expect him to
show the same intrinsic playing style so soon? He has to start
somewhere! I feel that he gives the dead a kick in the pants
every once in a while. Pig did the same thing! As far as
classical training, that's Phils background. Did it hurt him?
The fact that his background and style is different can only
help. After all, didn't jerry himself say the band was an 
experiment. And every one has their own individual style
that melds miraculously into o! This is healthy.
Be patient. After all, when you first started to work
on a project with a new group, how would you feel if
management said: I just can't accept this new guy, the old
member was better and he just can't be replaced.
Tsk tsk.....But- you did get your chance, and now you are
doing well (I hope so anyway). 
Every member of the dead , past and present, contributes in
their own way. Thats what makes the band so damn good.

  Every time that wheel turns round...
     We're bound to cover just a little more ground.
