    --------
    In this clip, Damion Hall recounted how he was tasked with reuniting 'Guy.' He detailed going to Virginia Beach and linking with Teddy Riley and using the music they made together to entice Aaron to fly out and join them in the studio. Damion explained how the last 'Guy' album was created and why he is singing more lead on the third album as opposed to the first two.

    Damion seems like a dude with a big heart and he’s mad loyal. I definitely would support a Guy/NE concert. He looks healthy and has taken good care of himself.

    Teddy took the musical DNA of Guy and put it into Backstreet. He always tried to find a voice like Aaron Hall and singers and could never get close. Teddy needs Aaron and vice versa.

    This is a very powerful interview personally he can’t say as much as he would like to say based on each and everyone’s character in the group and personality. But he is definitely telling his truth and what he feels I think a lot of people should listen to this interview and appreciate it. We’ve heard nothing from Aaron Hall except for in the beginning. And if you know Teddy Riley Teddy could be in competition with anybody even his own shadow. When you’re dealing with personalities like that and then on top of that someone is in your ear telling you untruthful things you would be happy the guy ended the way they did because it’s a Phenomenal group. And on top of the Jean Griffin situation Jean was worse than Suge knight let’s just speak it and bring it to the light sad to say if you happen to be on any one of those tours in those days that’s why the group really broke up no one wanna be bullied in this industry by a group of professionals you look up to and put your whole life into the hands.

    Great interview, loved it. But this made me go back and listen to The Guy 3 album. After listening to it, this album clearly is not a Guy album. This sounds like Blackstreet music. The Future is my joint. There was heart and feelings in that album.. Guy 3 sounds rushed and just feels cold. Didn't do much for me. Kinda like how Jodeci's last effort was cold as ice. No feelings or heart put into it like the previous joints. But I miss Guy. It would be nice to pull the trigger on a 4th album and bring that real rnb back.

    • @asenthalindsey1
      @asenthalindsey1 3 роки тому +2

      @kdbyers I loved Jodeci, but you are absolutely right about that 4th Jodeci album. I was sooooooo disappointed in it. Only 2 tracks even sounded remotely like Jodeci music ("Checkin" for You and "Incredible"). JoJo's voice sounded totally different and not in a good way. I hated that because he sang lead on my favourite Jodeci song, "What About Us". 😭😭

    • @brentwylie5558

      A lot of the songs were taken from an unreleased 911 album... even has some of their background vocals. Rushed and not collaborative. But I will say their are a few gems on there. Dancin, Keep me from my baby, love online (cheesy yes but vocal arrangement). The songs need to be from scratch for Guy for a fourth album, but not sure that could ever be a possibility these days.

      Good point (and good song). Maybe they didn’t reunite on that track... all recording done separately?

Album version of “The Best” was inferior in my opinion.

    My favourite of the three was the second. The remixes were always dope. "My Fantasy" (Extended Version) and "I Wanna Get With You" (Club Version) are my favorite remixes of all time! Followed by Dru Hill " Sleeping In My Bed" (So So Def Remix).
    Generally, I think egotism is what really hurt the group. But I would give the bigger blame to Teddy: he was working on a lot of other group/ artist projects while at the same time in Guy. Enough to make the other members insecure, jealous etc. As defacto leader, Ted
    should have done a better job of managing egos. I saw a Soul Train performance were Don Cornelius kept dotting on Teddy during the interview segment. It was crass.
    A stellar example of group leadership would be Will I. AM.

    Dame is SO long winded that I lose sight of what question he's answering 🤷‍♂️ Damn😳
    Just...answer...the...damn...question💯 And THEN (if you find it necessary) take us back to whatever story you'd like to tell in order to fill in the gaps. The interviewer is a tad long winded as well.
