Every Time I Die - Radical (October 22, 2021) • Page 103

Anyone know how Keith’s Q&A went?

 

According to a few people it was actually less mudslinging than expected, some points even being a bit more hopeful. The questions were written and submitted beforehand

 

I saw Keith say in an Instagram comment that these things will be released in some form so people who were not there could hear it.

 

Hear me out... AWOL is the perfect "standard" ETID song. It's just like, everything I like about ETID in a little package. Honestly becoming my favorite track and I've been a fan since like 2015.

 

First time I heard it it was "ok". It grew on my to absolutely be my favorite off Radical. IDK how it stacks up with their entire run, but it's up there high.

 

you're onto something

 

I sort of broady classify etid songs into 3 categories: the "fun" songs (including AWOL), the relentless face melters and the slower/trippier songs.

 

sounds incredible

EVERY TIME I DIE Vocalist Keith Buckley Opens Up About Band's Split


"I went to the band, and I went to the manager at the time, and I said, 'I fucked up a lot'. A lot of it was because of my drinking, a lot of it was exacerbated by a co-dependent marriage, but I said I'm on to that now, now we can really just address the problems that aren't coming in from any outside sources, now it's us. That's all I ever tried to do.

"I really felt that that was was a good thing good thing for everyone because I knew that there was friction between Jordan and I. There were a lot of things that happened during the pandemic that still haven't come out between he and I that led to this, there were multiple attempts at communication, therapy and everything. I love therapy… and I went to it, and I encouraged it for the band, but it was cut off, and I didn't know why.

"I just feel like I was looked at in bad faith. And I understand that, because I was an alcoholic and I did a lot of terrible things, and so it's easy to see someone who's constantly fucking up their own life and just realise that every decision they make is gonna suck, no matter what… And I know that that bad faith filter had been put on for 20 years…

 

This bit bummed me the fuck out:

"On that [final Every Time I Die] tour… it was undeniable that I was performing better than i ever have. I was at the top of my fucking game. And I did not see this coming… I was led to believe that everything I was doing was working for the betterment of the band.

"I wanted the band to come out of the pandemic shot out of a fucking cannon, Because I knew that [2021 album] Radical was going to do it for us, it was going to be the one that finally got us to a Mastodon level, or whatever… I'd come out of a marriage with a new approach, and a new confidence to life…and I just wanted the band to have their time to shine.

 

ughh..... def a bit gutting.

 

I want off this ride

 

lol the irony of that post

 

Ugh, why is Metalsucks still a thing?

 

Keith is full of shit.

within a couple paragraphs he goes from saying he needed to talk to the band more, then says the best thing for the band was for him to isolate.

showing up 5 minutes before stage time and refusing to talk to your band mates is not the best thing for the band

 

He also wanted the band to blow up to make it big like mastodon but also lost his artistic spark and wanted to move on

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I’m just fucking sad..

*blasts Dark Distance*

 

and his artistic spark was hating his brother’s guts?

 

I mean I pretty much relate to everything Keith said and am having some pretty severe issues in my life right now because of all the horrible shit I did in my addiction and now when anyone does something that bothers me or I have a problem with I feel like I just have to roll over and take it because I have no legs to stand on from all the awful shit I did, so people get to walk all over me and I can’t say shit. But maybe I’m just full of shit too

 

you and keith are not the same person

 

the editorializing in the Metal Sucks article was in poor taste and Jordan's Instagram stories constantly "mocking" (for the lack of a better word) his brother's behavior lend further credence to some of the stuff Keith is saying.

Like, yeah, I don't think Keith's looking great, but if you are truly willing to work towards some sort of resolution, I don't think you want to act like Jordan either. Say what you want but Keith does look more like the one who is trying to make amends.

 

You’re right, I’ve probably done much worse shit and deserve every ounce of hate I get from my loved ones. And I’m not being sarcastic. It is what it is.

 

This is more in line with what I’m thinking. It always takes two to tango.

 

MetalSucks fucking blows, garbage site
