Coheed bassist news

2012-04-25 by big daddy bris. | 34 Comments
Coheed and Cambria have announced today that they've picked a replacement for their previous bassist, Mic Todd. Zach Cooper will become their new permanent bassist and will play on Coheed's new album, due out sometime later this year.

A video introduction from the band and Cooper can be viewed on their official website
http://www.coheedandcambria.com/

Unfortunately, Mic Todd has not had such good luck. After being kicked out of the band for his constant drug use and an incident where he threatened to blow up a Walgreens with a cell phone bomb for drugs, Todd has recently announced that he as been diagnosed with testicular cancer.

Quote:
"The results are in. I have cancer people. Getting surgery on Friday and then find out if I need further radiation. It's a little scary. It seems my fight is not over yet by a long shot."

Such a shame. The guy has alot of talent. The basslines on SSTB were outstanding.

New guy looks promising but it wont be the same without Todd.

Weird turn of events. Was this Zach Cooper in any bands before this?

Having viewed the video, I like Zach. I hope things work out well, and if the acoustic sounds released earlier are any indication, this will be a great new album.

As for Mic... Well, the cancer thing sucks. I'm kind of curious, though - how the fuck is he not in jail?

Really liked the last album. Don't know if it was part of that dumb comic or whatever.

I don't think they can recreate something as good as From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness or In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3.

The rest of their albums end up having at least two stellar tracks followed by a plethora of "meh" ones.

I hate myself for laughing.

Looking forward to this new album.

Who cares? He was an addict who robbed a store - he's scum and it's nobody's fault but his own. Addicts are not people to feel sorry for, they're irresponsible garbage.

Cancerous karma as far as I'm concerned

This sucks. I hope he gets better, gets clean, starts a new band and releases some grad A+ material. Because that would be cool.

I used to consider this guy as my favorite bassist, I feel really sorry for him, but at least I can pay tribute to him by letting him being one of the inspirations to me for not smoking cigs or popping pills anymore.
