Periphery's 'Nolly' Getgood gets out

2017-08-03 by Toondude | 35 Comments
Periphery bassist Adam 'Nolly' Getgood has officially announced his departure from the popular prog/djent band. Getgood previously announced last year that he would not be touring to focus on a career in music production (Getgood co-produced Devin Townsend's Transcendence last year).

He posted an official statement which reads:

A few weeks ago I came to the decision I didn’t want to continue as a member of Periphery. The Periphery guys are some of my best friends, I have nothing but high hopes for the future of the band and I’ll always be a huge fan of the music, however after a year of not touring I became aware that I’m just not invested in the day-to-day decision-making and problem solving that constitutes so much of the reality of running a joint enterprise like Periphery. It’s simply not on my mind and that’s not fair to the rest of the band, the band’s team, and everyone involved in making Periphery a success – and that includes you all too.

The guys in Periphery are all incredible people and musicians, in their different and complementary ways. I know they’ll go on to achieve things I can’t even imagine, and I’ll be so happy to watch that happen.

For my own part, I’ll continue to enjoy the more settled life at home with my wife, focusing on my production work and on GetGood Drums.

I’ve got nothing but incredible gratitude for everything we experienced together and pride for what we accomplished, it has been an honor to play a role in something that has grown from humble origins to a genuinely genre-defining, internationally successful band. Thank you all for having me along for the ride. Really.

That was an honest and mature statement. I appreciate that.

That sucks. I feel like he was the only one who could reign in Misha's desire to overproduce everything.

Pretty nice to hear no bad blood for once. Seems like this is the first non-dramatic metal story in a long time.

His production could use some work. He did the majority of Sikth's new LP and that sounded badly balanced and way over-polished

He'll probably (hopefully) still produce future Periphery albums... However, why do I get the feeling that this is the first step of the band's demise?

Dunno, they survived without a full time bassist before.

Band came outta the gate with all their A-material on the debut and has limped along like a wounded animal gasping for breath ever since.

Idk man, they're riding pretty high and almost every member is a driven multi-instrumentalist songwriter. Nolly just didn't like touring, that doesn't mean anything for the rest of the band.

They can never write a consistently good album. Each album will have a few really good songs and a bunch of cheesy songs that are well-produced filler.

That sucks, hope that the next bassist for periphery will be as good as Nolly. Band djents hard while crackheads, hipsters, scene kids and snapbackers are derpin

His production work is pretty fantastic, especially on Devin Townsend Project's 'Transcendence'. I am A-OK with this decision.
