Um. Seriously? Maas was easily the strongest member, this sucks to hear.

I like the song that sounds like all their other with "rly meaningful" lyrics

Oh no; he added so much to make their sound unique.
I could not type that with a straight face

band needs new ideas. This is probably for the best.

Jay's a pretty cool guy, so it sorta sucks to hear, but maybe they can get out of this slump

They could use some fresh ideas, hopefully his replacement helps.

> Yea their last two albums were smash hits, he'll be missed for sure

Hehe

Cool, now if they lose every other member maybe they will be able to write something halfway decent

abandoned wasnt very good, maybe they'll do something different this time

I guess you could say he was unwanted.

I'll show myself out.

You coward.

Little kid.

New drummer is way better than the old one.

Idiot doing the folk songs is the the vocalist. He's still in the band and in my opinion did a good job with them acoustic sangz.

cant blame him for wanting off that sinking ship

unanswered, abandoned

Well they haven't made anything decent since Empty Days, so this might be for the best.

Ditch the story, guys. It got old two albums ago.

I'm never happy to see a band lose a member but hopefully his departure shakes things up for the rest of the band. Get a guitarist who can inject some energy and inspiration into their sound. Last two albums have been underwhelming. Need to return to the energy that was present on their first two/three releases while simultaneously expanding lyrically and instrumentally. Time will tell.

This band has been garbage since they released Empty Days but this is still pretty surprising, especially because Jay handled writing, helping with the story and also recorded their albums. Maybe they'll stop being shit now or maybe Jay will start another band that isn't shit. We shall see

sounds like someone got....

DEFEATED

hahahahahahah haaaaaa

I'll show myself out.

If there ever was a point for the rest of the band to start under a new name and concept, it would be right after they tour Abandoned.

Might drop this stupid storyline now

Lost Ground is amazing but that's really the only thing i have been able to get into by these guys.

sad to see him go, he seems like a cool guy. but maybe it will help them refresh their sound

Yawn inducing

HerCloudwalkers

SOOOO WHAAAT ARE YOUUU GONNA DOOOO? yes, he is.

Was gonna see them at one time, they didn't show up and I've lost interest since then.

I know bands don't care about Canada but COME ON

lol spec is Canadian. jk we have free healthcare here too

this is insane

but i'm still gonna jam every one of their new records at least once in the hope that they eventually put out something as good as travels again

I'm not surprised at all Alias. This tr00 hc isn't very fun.

Pretty sure he's saying they take it too seriously.
I mean who gets kicked out of a concert for weed?

I was saying that these bands don't like fun, chill shit like smoking weed. They probably spend heir spare time reading WW2 war journals tbh.

Must be on their payroll.
I got kicked out of Next during Miss May I's set for smoking weed once. Never understood the logic behind it, I'm causing less trouble than half the drunk scene kids hiding their XvX tattoos they got when they were 16.
Smoking weed at Meshuggah is always a must tho. People will pass u weed and give you the thumbs up.
