Fred leaves Taking Back Sunday

2007-10-04 by TheStarclassicTreatment | 22 Comments
Fred Mascherino has left Taking Back Sunday according to the following blog on the band's myspace page:

Quote:


After four great years and two successful gold albums together, Fred has decided to leave Taking Back Sunday to pursue his solo career. We wish him well and we are working on the next Taking Back Sunday album as we speak.

We wanted to let you guys know and then get back to working on the music. No drama, just riffs.

On that note, Fred's album The Color Fred's BEND TO BREAK is coming out on October 30.

The Louder Now Parttwo CD/DVD is coming out November 20. You want webisodes, we got webisodes. You want unreleased live videos? Got that too. Lots of bonus features and behind the scenes goodies on this one. More on that soon.

The next Taking Back Sunday album is in its very early stages. As always, we will be updating you on that as we go along.

The band is marginally good... is this guy someone who contributed to it or not?

Uh yeah he's the second voice and lead guitar. Infinitely better than the Straylight Run singer for TBS, his presence will be missed.

Oh yeah, that guy from Straylight is pretty bad in both bands... so then it was the Fred guy that kicked the last two albums out of mediocre standards...This Message Edited On 10.04.07

Fred's voice is just better than john nolans which is one of the reasons why where you want to be and louder now are better than tell all your friends.

I like John Nolan in Straylight Run, but in Tell All Your Friends, I just thought their voices didn't blend at all.

Fred actually wrote better material though I think. He did a lot of songwriting on Louder Now that couldn't be touched by most of TAYF.

john nolan was a better vocalist and lyricist maybe tbs will quit making music even though they are working on a new album. that would be neat

Can't say im too surprised by this one. He had a kind of a generic voice so it wont be too tough replacing him.

I like his voice, though nothing special tbh, but TBS are more interesting than TCF.

Screw the Color Fred and reform Breaking Pangea. It does surprise me that he left the band, though.

nolan was alot better for TBS cause he wrote all the lyrics on tell are your friends.. tayf is much better then the other two albums.

Fred was good too though. i saw breaking pangea once in front of like 30 people and i remember thinking this guy is pretty awesome i wonder why nobody listens to them.
