Periphery part ways with guitarist

2011-07-06 by elephantREVOLUTION | 54 Comments
Guitarist Alex Bois has decided to leave Periphery.

The band wrote on MySpace: [i]"Alex Bois and Periphery have decided to part ways. This is truly a sad day for Periphery, because Alex has been with us since the beginning, and he is like a brother to us.

"We're going to do everything we can to make the most out of this unfortunate situation, and soldier on like we always have in the past when faced with setbacks.

"In regards to all of our upcoming shows and tours, worry not! We will have special guest artists filling in for Alex, so our touring plans will not be changing whatsoever."[/a]

Not really a big deal. The only invaluable member of that band is Misha.

Why couldn't it have been Misha? He could do great things on his own... Then again he will never leave.

I wish they would just break up and various members from Animals As Leaders and TesseracT would just form a band with Misha.
That would be pretty interesting.

Or, y'know, recruit Neema Askari to share vocal duties with Spencer.

I guess this means that there are no more Bois in Periphery. Just chicks.

well, the human abstract's third guitarist (tapley) left and they just went on with 2, can't periphery do the same?

Butkuiss

A guitarist called Tapley? What an apt name.

But in all seriousness, I can't even hear the third guitar most of the time in Periphery's work. Give the bassist a bit more presence and it'd all be fine.

Why the hell did they need 3 guitarists anyway? 1 doing the chugging, juns etc and one doing lead guitar work, and maybe some guitar ambiances. If they start using the bass guitar more, there will be no problem at all.

+1 for ditching the idea of 3 guitarists and upping the presence of bass in the mix. Jake Bowen and Misha are more than enough for the band.
