Aiden calling it quits
2013-02-01 by jslavos | 126 Replies | 4275 Views |
Frontman of Seattle punk rockers Aiden, William Francis a.k.a. William Control, has announced that a final Aiden album will be released sometime in 2013. In a interview for Under the Gun Review, Francis stated "There will be one more Aiden album, mainly because I feel I left things on such a cliff in the midst of finishing our contract with Victory (Records). And like I said, I’m not the same kid that started Aiden anymore, but I do love Aiden and jumping around on stage. It’s a young man’s game though, and I’m not a young man anymore, you know? Warped Tour is a young man’s game. I want to appease the audience that has been with me and followed us for so long, but at the same time I feel sort of like a liar singing those songs on stage that I wrote and sung when I was teenager fresh out of jail. Those are songs I wrote because I was so angry at everything and wanted to change the world, but now I don’t give a fuck. [laughs] Now I want to tell fictional stories about whips and chains. You know, things that matter."
He plans on performing and releasing albums solely as William Control (his darkwave/electronica side project), and is currently supporting Black Veil Brides on the North American part of their "Church of the Wild Ones" tour.

you gotta give him credit for being completely honest as to why he cant do it anymore. i imagine a lot of seasoned bands feel like theyve grown out of their genre/discography but would never admit it.
btw aiden and their whole image/sound is super gay and embarrassing (which explains how you would be bummed to have to keep promoting it).
|
| |
Never even heard anything by this band. Probably a good thing.

|
| |
band never did anything worth mentioning, and is this dude really that old, or does he just feel old because he smokes 3 packs a day?
|
| |
I still don't understand all the Hate for Aiden.They were not near as bad as Hollywood undead Brokencyde or Blood on the dancefloor.They actualy played Their own instuments i mean really were they that bad band?I dont know maybe i dont have nothing against them because i got into them back in the 5th grade about 7 years ago.
|

I've somehow made it 22 years without ever knowingly hearing a song by this band

Why did I click that link? That song made my ears bleed with disgust.

Now just watch their last album be some ground breaking achievement that makes a huge progression from their older stuff and then they break up, would be so lol. Never gonna happen but it would be amusing.

Don't really like these guys but I don't really understand all the hoorays. If you don't like their music, you don't have to listen.

Goodbye guys, you wiL always be endlessly inspiring

Not that his solo project is more likable in anyway, lol.
|

they should have it called it quits before they released their first record.
|
| |
hahaha. so much hate up there ^
only liked a few of their early songs, but it's still funny that his shitty band and him got to tour and make money for that long. u mad sputnik?

"Warped Tour is a young man’s game." Wait. What? Bands such as the Dillinger Escape Plan are still touring on the warped tour. Who the hell does he think he is seriously? Francis is such a tool that's a fact. It might be one of the worst band that ever existed. This news made my day.
|
| |
That's a bit of a stretch but he's definitely a poser
and speaking of DEP I wish Greg would diss him like he did with that guy from 30 seconds to mars
|
| |
greg disses everyone lol.
|
| |
I heard about this and It's a real shame to be honest. Good band that makes really enjoyable musc
|
| |
if they didn't make themselves look like such an easy target people probably wouldn't hate on their music as much.
|
| |
"greg disses everyone lol."
yeah but greg literally went ape shit on that guy
like 20 posts(twitter?) dissing the guy, it was pretty insane
|
| |
Never cared enough about these guys to hate them.
|
| |
they're just a mediocre "punk" band that gets a lot of flack.
|

I met Will in 2002 in Seattle before all his friends disowned him (I'll spare you the details). He seemed like a pretty good guy. He was in a decent Fat Wreck style punk band called Youth at Risk. He got me back stage at Bad Religion which was pretty sweet. But you could tell even then the guy was fame hungry and was willing to do anything to be a rock star or whatever. Even though quite a few "angry" Aiden songs are at least tangentially about my best friend, I'm glad this dude achieved his goal, even if his band felt more like a parody than anything else. Way to go, Will.
|
| |
was he the friend wil wanted to set on fire?
|
| |
That's the rumor.
|
| |
they never recovered from the colossal failure of conviction.
|
| |
skeletor is
|
| |
this statement he made is so obviously trolling people.
|
| |
you mean there will be 10 more years of aiden?
