The Number Twelve break up

2009-12-14 by sniper | 92 Comments
According to a blog posted by guitarist Alexis Pareja on the band's Myspace page, grindcore band The Number Twelve Looks Like You are parting ways. The band lost guitarist Jamie McIlroy prior to the release of their fourth and final LP, Worse Than Alone, and vocalist Justin Pedrick left the band earlier this year due to personal problems. Pareja cited "many ongoing issues and the slow deteriorating of the band throughout the years" as reasons for the breakup, and gave thanks to fans for supporting the band over the years.

Some bands get better after they break up, like ATDI and Blood Brothers, but The 12 were awesome at still being a band.

Gonna miss them :/

I saw the article. Either way, officially, this is the first time fans were publicly told by the band they they were breaking up. As far
as I'm concerned, confirmation is still news. The other article literally ends by saying this is all speculation.

If any of you faggots wants to stick up for the band, however, be warned. You will be held accountable for your buttfucking complicity.

"And before you dicksucking fanboys/fangirls give me shit for this, I'm not impressed by their technicality, artificial harmonics, or "odd" time signatures. I've seen Maurice Ravel's "Frontispiece" performed live, so you can all blow me."

I was referring to when the main focus of the forums was that of serving the tab site and this review site was merely a small side project.

I've wandered over here the past few days out of boredom to see how the review site ony user base has developed. It's gone backwards because now there's a social hierarchy, and users like yourself who admittedly have an impressive intellect but a holier than thou attitude aren't brought to task over the verbal effluvia you spout.

should've just responded with a csb oh well
