well this is absolutely devastating news for me. Nevermore was a huge part of my life. My fucking MEMORIES from the past 7 years of my life involve Nevermore. everywhere i went in the world, yes the fucking world, I ALWAYS had them with me. THey kept me fucking sane. I was depressed I was fucked up I was fucking miserable and they were the fucking cure. They kept me fucking stable Fuck I can't even explain it. Whoever posted that plea to the band to sort it out, saying you take music very seriously.....so do I. Very seriously and this is absolutely fucking garbage.
And the fucking band is done. No that isnt a knock on WD, he's a fucking genius but Nevermore simply CANNOT exist without Jeff. This is due to the simple fact that the combination of Jeff's writing and WD's vocal melodies on top of it cannot and will not ever be matched. No band in history has had more raw fucking talent in that dynamic between singer/guitarist. the band might continue but it wont be the same. we all know this. without Jeff Loomis there is NO FUCKING NEVERMORE
Is it unreasonable to say that I want answers? I want to know WHY. For once, just one time, I want a band to fucking come clean. I dont want a fucking press release saying 'oh the time has come due to internal tensions in the band...' blah blah fucking horse shit. No, I want to know WHAT THE FUCK the tension is that could have actually caused them to leave the fucking band. I just want one fucking band, one time in history to actually spill the fucking truth out. I NEED TO KNOW WHY. I think the fans deserve it. We've been diehard. I flew to the fucking DVD show in Germany from Boston and the show was canceled. I had to fly home in the negative. I FUCKING FLEW BACK A MONTH LATER FOR THE SHOW. other fans have done similar stuff. I talked to people who drove like 30 hours from east bum fuck Europe just to go to that fucking show, or any god damned show they played. Seriously, what the fuck could have happened? They released TGE and took like 5 years off and did their own thing. Now, less than two years later, Jeff and Van fucking leave the band? Did someone fuck someone's wife or something? Honestly? WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED.
This cannot be the end. Nevermore was special ...they weren't just better than other bands, They destroyed other metal bands. No one comes close. They're too fucking talented. What an absolute fucking waste. I am shocked Mr. Loomis is apparently Mr Ego now. Honestly. I've met the guy a fucking lot. I had beers with him and Van before a show, just us three. One of my best memories ever, just shooting the shit. He was fucking humble even when I had to ass kiss for two seconds and tell him his playing is out of this world. He was fucking appreciative. Van was just as cool. Nice guy, no ego. Of course I don't know the guys like wd or Jim or even their close friends. But the impressions they gave off were those of pretty decent guys. im sad. fuck it.
