Gould sets the record straight. "No studio musicians. He played, but the writing process was extremely difficult because he wasn't really much of a fan of the music. He wasn't really behind it. He wasn’t really into it. So it was a tough process. I mean, I think, really, we realized that he wasn’t going to continue while we were making that record because he was just on a different musical page." The dynamic the band was in was similar to that which led to Mosley's termination. "It could not have continued the way it did," Gould says seriously.
