 Soon after, the band released its next album, "Splinter", which spawned the band's second number one on Alternative Songs.Uncomfortable with the idea of finding an immediate replacement for Welty, The Offspring opted to have session musician Josh Freese record the drums for "Splinter", and later announced that Atom Willard would be the official replacement for Ron Welty.The album's original title was to be "Chinese Democrazy", a name used to mock the name of the long-delayed album by Guns N' Roses.
