As much as I find it tasteless to sue widows and orphans, Tom had every right to move forward with the lawsuit. She aired out her opinion and accusations in the press. She accused Tom of driving Brad to suicide which is now a chargeable/jailable offense here in Massachusetts.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
Why is this the first time I’ve ever heard of this lawsuit? I guess I just haven’t been paying close enough attention! What a shame… Brad Delp’s voice is what REALLY made Boston’s sound unique IMO. Everyone knows that Tom Scholz is kind of a dick, but I guess I didn’t realize just how much!

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
Brad's wife came out in the press and accused Tom Scholz of driving Brad to suicide. IIRC Tom sued her for slander and the courts agreed with him. She had no proof of his actions causing the suicide. Years later the same Massachusetts courts convicted a young girl of manslaughter because she texted her boyfriend to kill himself and he did. If Tom Scholz's case came after hers I think he would have had a tougher time winning. From what Brad's wife said there were a flurry of harrasing phone calls.

He didn’t win. The MA Supreme Court refused to revive his cases.

I posted this here a few years ago in Off-Topic. The (sad) truth:

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
You are right I remembered it differently. The courts were so off base not hearing the case. The articles blaming Tom for the suicide were based on conjecture and statements from people too cowardly to attach their names to them. It is funny you can not yell fire in a crowded theater but can hide behind the 1st amendment to call someone a murderer. Some of the other cases that were cited were corporations vs. the Boston Herald, not individuals protecting their reputations. The MA Supreme Court was way off by not hearing the case. What happened to someone's right to face their accuser?

This news article coincides exactly with the legal document you posted... in fact, I believe they
wrote the article using said legal document as a reference. Did you read it before posting?

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
I've heard similar. But I think the truth is, "it all depends on who you ask".
And, I wouldn't necessarily call someone who puts up a hidden video cam in his ex-wife's younger sister's room a "nice guy"...

Well, looking back in this thread, on page 10, looks like he edited his 1st post and deleted what he said:
https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?321691-Rockman-Tone-in-2017&p=4151064&viewfull=1#post4151064
Immediately after, he had indicated that he was up for it:
But once the ground rules were set, he retracted with the excuse that he was moving and didn't have all his gear:
https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?321691-Rockman-Tone-in-2017&p=4151307&viewfull=1#post4151307
...after that he disappeared. I thought it was odd for him to be all gung-ho about it, then suddenly change his mind with the excuse he didn't have all his gear. Oh well... make of that what you will.
I'm always up for a friendly tone challenge (figuring out tones is a big hobby of mine)... I started one last year IIRC for Randy Rhoads in Tips & Clips but no one participated.

I remember that. I am afraid that I don't have the know-how to do these things (hence this thread), otherwise I'd participate. I suspect the same is the case with many people here.
Could I challenge you to figure out some George Lynch tones? I have the guitar tracks for a couple of classic songs, and would love to hear some opinions.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
You asserted that the article contained "the (sad) truth". The article I posted addressed the lawsuit, not the conflict between the two. The truth about their conflict involves much more than the lawsuit addressed, especially considering that the lawsuit was about the conflict between Scholz and the Boston Herald along with Delp's fiance. Not the conflict between Scholz and Delp.
Besides, I posted the Court ruling to correct Securb's remark that Tom won the lawsuit.
That's a greater density than black ironwood.

Yes, the sad truth about Brad Delp.
We are (individually) posting about different (yet totally tied-together and related) topics.
