Woe, Is Me's drummer leaves

Metalcore outfit Woe, Is Me has officially parted ways with their drummer Austin Thornton. Here is the official statement from the band:
"After much deliberation, conversation, we have come to an agreement, and we are announcing that we are parting ways with our drummer, Austin Thornton.
Due to differences in musical creativity and control, the forward progression of the band with our current lineup is not possible. The differences just ended up creating more frustration and negativity and we feel as though this change is necessary to move forward and is a positive thing for everyone involved.
This will not be slowing us down. We won't be dropping any of our shows or tour dates, and we'll be releasing a new single in June, just in time for Warped Tour in the summer!
This is a big step for all of us, but we are all looking forward to the future and taking the necessary steps to find the best fit person to join our family on drums.
We wish Austin nothing but the best in his future endeavors.
We love you all. And thank you for your continued support through all of this. Our fans mean the absolute world for us and we do this all for you.
-Kevin, Andrew, Hance, Brian, and Doriano."

Holy shit this is hilarious. This guy was a huge dick, and I can't even imagine what kind of nerves these guys had to finally get to kick him out. Good for them. I'm curious as to what happens next.
|
| |
wtf
hahhhaahah
|

This band should just quit at life.

He's a pretty good drummer, but its no surprise he's gone. Apparently he's very difficult to work with.
That would be utterly hilarious if he joined Issues. The first comment made me laugh pretty hard.

I care enough to write this, that's it.

Not surprised, this was bound to happen
Digging: Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm
|
| |
I don't understand why couldn't the all the members who left have kicked his ass out instead of all leaving? They could have saved the band from the shit that was genesis.
|
| |
I actually think their next album will be a lot better with Austin gone. He's a good drummer though. Hah! Maybe he'll join Of Machines now?
|
| |
he might tour with of machines, but i would bet $100 he starts a new 'soulful singer over breakdowns' band,
|
| |
Hey, hey guys, he's probably all like "woe, is me" HAHA
GET IT!?

Well, Of Machines replied to someone's facebook post that he's "absolutely not" joining them. So, guess we're getting a 6th entry in the A Path Less Traveled-Of Machines-Oh, Manhattan-Woe, is Me-Issues drama?
|
| |
That fucking asshole should have left before Tyler, Michael, Ben and their lead guitarist that could actually play lead.
|
| |
maybe this band will stop sucking hard semen now
Impossible!

Austins going to need a new twitter handle
|
| |
their rhythm guitarist is still an original member, but honestly it's only a matter of time before he leaves too.
|
| |
I guess one very eclectic fan yelled at one of their concerts "Abandon All Ships!", and someone took it very seriously.

Why is this in the metal section?
|
| |
Because metalcore is considered a branch of metal
duh
|
| |
he won't join issues because everyone in that band fucking despises
him. I hate the new line-up of this band but props for finally doing
what of machines and the past members of woe is, me never had
the balls to carry out. this guy was a total control freak and douche.

I'm willing to bet that the new single in June will be a diss track about Austin.

if you guys think this means WIM's next album WON'T suck, you're in for a disappointment
|
| |
They'll probably replace him with another scene kid that just started playing drums lol.
Probably wouldn't make a difference anyways.
|
| |
I don't understand how ANYONE could've liked Genesis
|
| |
I didn't hate it
like 3 songs were okay
the rest was pretty awful though
|
| |
The clean vocalist was good. That's it.
|
| |
I swear it was just 1 long song
|
| |
GENESI[S]. DON'T FORGET THE BRACKETS MANNN.
|
| |
oh crap I'm so [s]orry
|
| |
I know all the old members and Hance. They are all pretentious douchebags with literally no talent.
|
| |
you know them per[s]onally?
|
| |
Yeah I REALLY like Hances cleans and thats the ONLY thing I liked about that album
He needs to go do vocals with a decent band
|
| |
WIM ruined his cleans, they didn't use him to his potential AT ALL
they tried to make him sound like tyler too much
|
| |
Yes I do. Haven't talked to them in several year[s] because they got famous and even more douchy. Hance's old band, Of
Manhattan were awesome. Southern hardcore.
|
| |
yeah
Oh, Manhattan were really good
|
| |
I really like [s]outhern hardcore lol
I'll check out Of Manhattan
|
| |
Jamming out @cmizell928 's guest vocal spot on the Of Machines record. Dood has some of the best pipes I've heard in my entire life. #NoBull— Austin R. Thornton (@WoeIsAustin) March 7, 2013
what the fuck does this mean
|
| |
apparently Cameron Mizell's doing some vocals for their new record? That actually sound kinda cool
lol yeah he should change his twitter handle
|
| |
"apparently Cameron Mizell'[s] doing [s]ome vocal[s] for their new record? That actually [s]ound kinda cool
lol yeah he [s]hould change hi[s] twitter handle"
I ju[s]t tran[s]lated that into engli[s]h for you.
|
| |
I hate this band [s]ometime[s]
|
| |
wait what the hell does [s] even mean
|
| |
it's their logo. [S] Army for life.
|
| |
they probably just thought it looked cool.
|
| |
how does it represent them in any way though
|
| |
does that mean hes apart of the new Of Machines EP??
|
| |
yeah I think so
|
| |
ghey
|
| |
I have high hopes for Of Machines though, their album was kickass
|
| |
it was great
hopefully with better production this one will be even better
|
| |
when will people get it through their heads. austin is not rejoining any other band because everyone hates him.
|
| |
and when he joins another band
I'll remind you of this post
|
| |
oh I thought Of Machines was getting back together
|
| |
of machines broke up and everyone left woe, is me to form issues because of austin. so why would they fucking put up with him again?
|
| |
idk I just heard a rumor they were getting back together
|
| |
Nah, Of Machines said there was no way that Austin would be rejoining the band.
|
| |
no one likes him
|
| |
whats with all the scene news? who actually cares? seriously. woe is me are horrible. why would anyone actually care about this? leave it to AP to post all this stuff.
|
| |
first album was aight
|
| |
good for them, but they should have kicked him out awhile ago.
|
| |
FUck u hatas Woe,Is me foreva1/!!??!
JHamming out to Vengeancer right now*)
|
| |
Vengeance was a really bad song haha
|
| |
I WILL LIVE FOREVER
*half the band leaves
|
| |
Vengeance was the only song I ever enjoyed from them. Well that and On Veild Men/[&] Delinquents.
|
| |
hell or high water is great
|
| |
MANNEQUIN RELIGION BRO
|
| |
I also enjoy that track, that is the point I was trying to make.
|
| |
wtf how come nobody ever mentions Our Number[s]
That has to be THE best song they're ever released
|
| |
I just consider the album one 30 minute song.. they all sound the same.
|
| |
disagree
|
| |
there's like two standouts... the rest is forgettable.
|
| |
"Plot twist he's joining issues"
I lost my shit^ lol
Also, finally.
1: He was kinda why this band had no future (I enjoyed Numbers but Genesis was fucking bad)
2: This leaves ONE original member. If Kevin Hanson leaves, this is literally not Woe, Is Me anymore.
