Waiting for Ian

I already knew of this. It won't affect the overall awesomeness of C&C, but I'm still saddened to see this. They'll probably come back however.

"it won't affect the overall awesomeness on C&C" .....??!! try picturing and coheed song without josh eppard's drumming.....he's got such an amazing and unique style...this had better not be permanent...ill cut out my pancreas and frame it if it is.

i hope they come back

Have they left for good or just temporary?

Bummer...

What is with all of these awesome drummers not touring with their bands? Is this some sort of fad, like being bi-polar?

I like Coheed's bassist because he plays almost like he's trying to imitate Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. Watching him play live is really weird because it looks like he's slapping every other note and overextending his reach to make it look like the songs are harder to play than they really are. But whatever, he still had some good fills on the first and most recent albums, hope he stays.

i was afraid they were broken up because of the title of hte news

compare to tha fear, this is nothing
i hope they come back thoughThis Message Edited On 08.03.06

Their drummer is horrid.

Only the drummer?

I worship Coheed & Cambria but i must admit their drumming and bass skills are the only thing the band needed to improve on, there aren't too many bass fills in coheeds songs and the drumming has almost always been minimum, change might be good. Still, if Micheal and Todd are replaced it'll be sad news, but Todd might be leaving for a short while to promote his side act Weerd Science, maybe they are changing their lineup for the new albums whenever those come out. they'll never officially break up, Claudio is way too committed to finishing the story, a band like this with a concept of this magnitude especially from a musical standpoint would never give up mid projectThis Message Edited On 08.04.06

^I totally agree. I won't lose any sleep over this news, but it still kind of sucks.

Big deal. Eppard and Todd have all said from day one they never gave a f*ck about the
whole stupid story behind their albums, and Coheed's last album was mainly atrocious
anyways. Stevers and Claudio have always been the driving force behind C&C so
getting a better rhythm section would be interesting.

As for the comment on Todd and Eppard's playing, I disagree. Their styles do fit
Coheed quite well... it's not all about the tech. Listen to the mid-song jam on
"Everything Evil" from Live At La Zona and tell me they don't have talent.This Message Edited On 08.04.06

Hmm, hope they come back. It wont be a huge deal if they dont, though. Coheed rocks

News title of the year. I can't say I'm saddened or happy about this. I listen to these guys on occasion, Welcome Home is pretty good.

^^greatest avatar ive seen today

i dont htink the drumer is bad
and hte bassist has WAY more fills then you think

especially in SSTB

i don't care much for coheed. The only thing that sucks, is that bands go through this cycle too often. But for C&C whatever happens..happens

Meh, not a big C&C fan. Oh well.

As long as Claudo stays in the group they'll be fine.

Is this some sort of fad, like being bi-polar?

If the title were correct, then that would mean that the story that all of their albums follow would be finished :o

Have they left for good or just temporary?

there is no way coheed will be the same if josh and mic leave. i have liked this band for years and i cant picture them playin with any other bassist or drummer. i thought josh was alright but i deff think mic is nasty and his fills are sick. if they are gone for good they will never be the same
