So what do you guys think if this Keller has his own full piece band now.

WMDs consist of Keller Williams on rhythm guitar, Jeff Sipe on drums, Keith Mosely on bass, and Gibb Droll on lead guitar. I know alot of people have been saying that they like keller with other people when he plays well here you go.

In my opinion I think this is great for keller, I know I read in a interview that he only started the solo career because he couldn't find any people to jam with in a band. But I hope he still does some touring solo, I really dig hime by him self he has suck a great sound and has a great crowd friendship during the shows.

Just thought I would post this incase no one else herd of the big news.

I will pay to go see this lineup ... my experience with Keller has been this .... when he plays by himself he has a habit of playing the songs really really fast and they somehow lose their feel in my book ... not as much rythym ... every time I see him sit in with somebody he is awesome, he fits right in and compliments as well.... he is a great player and I hope to see WMD'S soon !!!!!!!

Jeff Sipe or "Apartment Q258" is a hall-of-fame level drummer.

Check out his stuff with the original Aquarium Rescue Unit in the early 90s.

I do like Keller a LOT better when he plays with others! 2005 String Summit with Larry Keel and family comes to mind.

Keller is awesome solo, WMD's at summercamp was one of the highlights for me the drums and lead guitar were very tight. Fish is my favorite drummer that is alive right now.
