I don't understand why the rest of them that clearly enjoy performing with each other have to lay their careers down and up for solo stuff..because of one member. Many bands do this all the time...yes it will be different however maybe it will do them some good....why force someone to be there that clearly hasn't wanted to be for quite some time? I don't get the whole..if you're not for me..your agaisnt me attitude. He choose to move on...they told him the door is open for a return but I also understand he wants them to continue. My only fear is..the rest of them will do all the promo and sweat to get this off the ground and then he will want to tour....without doing all the work and pr behind getting this new CD out.
