Story of the Year - Wolves (December 8th, 2017) Album • Page 36

I hope he didn't do anything dishonest.

 

It reminds me of this:

Tom.Is.Out

 

Yup. And to be fair that was handled shitty too.

 

True.

That was a disaster.

 

It was he said, she said bullshit. That's what this situation looks like.

 

I was kicked out of my band in high school. I had no idea, they were practicing with a new drummer behind my back. I found out through MySpace on the bands page and than our singer private messaged me and told me I was out. It was super fucked.

 

It just feels like they pushed him out just to bring Adam back.

 

I wonder if they didn't like the fact he was being successful in other things.

 

If they would at least tell us why he was kicked out, we could be more understanding. I doubt anyone would kick out a good friend just to be dicks.

 

I remember when NFG kicked Steve out. That came out of left field until we found out truly why.

 

@skurt aka "Taking Back Sunday-style"

 

He wouldn't stop doing spin kicks with the bass and refused to wear a Pantera shirt and cameo shorts. It had to be done.

 

What?

 

I should have quoted you

That's what TBS did when they brought back the original members, kicked out the New Again-era members to replace them

 

I mean unlike Tom I bet Phil would have ANSWERED THE PHONE

 

This is just strange. I truthfully don't think they would just kick the man out without a good reason. They're one of the most down-to-earth bands I've ever followed, so I don't think ego has anything to do with it.

 

Ahh. Gotcha

 

I'm telling you guys they didn't like he was being super successful with other projects.

 

It was still handled like poo.

 

Who, Phil?

 

I just don't get that. They've made it clear that they aren't trying to take over the world as SOTY anymore, so why would they be threatened by his success?

 

I feel like I just completed a puzzle but pieces ended up being missing.

 

Ugh I don't know. I'm just trying to put things together.

 

Yeah, the disparity between their statements really makes this weird. I hate saying that bands "owe" fans anything, but I do wish that they would have given us a better statement than that. There's way more to this than they're letting on.

 

Well Phil did the best he could, the band not so much. They pulled off a cowardly move, in this instance they definitely owe the fans something.
