David: Yeah. There were some drug problems, and I don't put it on Metal Church. I'm through candy-coatin' it. I used to think that 'I'm gonna be the nice guy and put all the blame on me,' and that's what I've done in the last two years of doing interviews, but I'm not gonna lie about it anymore. It's BS if the guys can't stand up for the problems they had. I do say that I had a problem, and I took steps to correct it. One of the things I had to do, but didn't want to do, is leave Metal Church. In my meetings, my sponsors were telling me I had to make a lifestyle change, I had to change friends, and it killed me that I had to walk away from Metal Church. The band told me not to do a press-release, so that I wouldn't have my version out there first. And, stupid me, I trusted them, because we were all very close, like a marriage. So, the next thing I know is that they put out this press release saying 'We kicked Dave Wayne out of Metal Church', and I, of course, was horrified. So, I went off and got to do my own thing, Reverend, which was quite pleasing and enjoyable. In fact, I recently got the Reverend guys back together, since Metal Church wants to be on hiatus for a while. I need to get out there and work. I say you strike while the iron is hot, and now everyone is doing their own projects...Kurdt is doing this and that. So, I just got my own Reverend band back together here in Seattle.
