Twitter‘s been alive this afternoon since longtime Dave Matthews Band producer Steve Lillywhite wrote that he’s "back to Charlottesville for the first time since i got fired by DMB. I shall not be seeing them !" The band fell on tough times about a decade ago while recording tracks for what would have been the third Lillywhite-produced DMB effort. During the sessions the band grew unhappy with the dark direction the material had taken. Lillywhite got the axe.
Apparently, the cut wasn’t clean: "maybe I will talk about the firing next time i do my radio show..," Lillywhite tweeted. Sounds pretty snotty, Steve.
Soon after they split with the producer, Dave wrote most of the songs on 2001’s Everyday in a little more than a week with producer Glen Ballard.
Lillywhite’s twitter says that he’s on his way to the Monroe Institute, a nonprofit educational facility in Faber, VA that studies out of body experiences and probes the depths of human consciousness.
