Bassist leaves The Word Alive

2010-12-28 by loveisamixtape | 72 Comments
Bassist Nick Urlacher has decided to leave the Word Alive for personal reasons.

Urlacher said in a statement: "I've decided to leave The Word Alive my friends. This
decision doesn't come easy, by any means of the word. The other 5 members have been my road
family and home family for what feels like an eternity.

"We had the best of times and the worst of times, but we were together playing music and
touring the country together. We're friends who will always be there for one another no
matter the price."

yeah, but we didn't care much about him either. Slipknot themselves said he was going to be replaced, thus showing his worth... none.

deceiver is fucking great. particularly the hounds of anubis and 2012. but you never hear the bass so it's not that big of a deal, but i mean i have no idea how much this dude contributed to the songwriting.

@bloc: and vocals.

Saw these guys live with ADTR, Underoath, and Close Your Eyes.

Safe to say that Underoath was the best band there. These guys were a close second. Pretty fun stuff live.

Well now the bassist won't be muddling up the low end when the keyboardist rips into some gnarly woms, overall this should improve their sound.

Sure the band is nothing incredible, but they're not that bad. I think I 3.5'd Deceiver.

Edit: Oh, and I really don't care at all about the bassit. Like everyone has already said, "wait they have a bassist?"

What's with all of this negativity?
I happen to love this album, I also love the synth in 2012
I'm sure that the bassist leaving will affect the music in someway.
Think, if they have a new bassist, could it be possible that they will utilize the new addition more & change the sound a bit?
