Recently Scott and Charlie did a PPV chat for thier nine remaining fans.
heres the text
CharlieB says to (19:13):
This is how it all went down, are you all ready to
read this? maybe Scott and I can just type and
eberyone just read. OKAY??
CharlieB says to (19:14):
I had this idea to do a special anniversary tour, JOHN
and JOEY
SCOTTIAN says to (19:14):
Yes
CharlieB says to (19:14):
I thought it would be an amazing thing for everyone to
see
SCOTTIAN says to (19:14):
I concur.
CharlieB says to (19:14):
JOhn decided that he didn't want to be a part of it
SCOTTIAN says to (19:15):
Understandable.
CharlieB says to (19:15):
he felt he would be overshadowed by Joey coming back
SCOTTIAN says to (19:15):
He felt he didn't need to take a back seat to the
reunion with Joey excitement
SCOTTIAN says to (19:15):
I was BOLN
CharlieB says to (19:15):
we all understood
SCOTTIAN says to (19:16):
Inside joke
CharlieB says to (19:16):
well, now with John not into it we all felt that we
could go and do some shows
SCOTTIAN says to (19:16):
Sabbath
SCOTTIAN says to (19:16):
Oops, you're still back 20 months ago
CharlieB says to (19:17):
I knew this was going to be hard for John and believe
me, it was hard for us as well, WE LOVE JOHN
SCOTTIAN says to (19:17):
His life was already changing with the birth of
Jezebel
CharlieB says to (19:17):
John has always been one of us, from day one
CharlieB says to (19:17):
maybe Scott can continue
SCOTTIAN says to (19:17):
Once we left to do the reunion, we were on a different
path
SCOTTIAN says to (19:1Cool:
No matter how hard we tried to keep him in the mix, it
was strange
SCOTTIAN says to (19:1Cool:
Like cheating on your wife
CharlieB says to (19:1Cool:
it was really hard seeing these reunion bashers and
all
CharlieB says to (19:19):
I tried staying in touch with John but I could tell he
was hurt and didn't want any part of it
SCOTTIAN says to (19:19):
Once things started to happen for us on the tour it
bacame apparent that people were excited, business was
good etc.
CharlieB says to (19:19):
but I always knew in my mind that some day we would
get back and do another record
SCOTTIAN says to (19:19):
The touring got this band out of a huge financial
hole.
SCOTTIAN says to (19:19):
John included.
CharlieB says to (19:19):
ditto
CharlieB says to (19:20):
I remember reading the thing that ROB Caggiano said
about us, that really gutted me
SCOTTIAN says to (19:20):
We were working and he was home and we took care of
all his debt as well
SCOTTIAN says to (19:21):
Rob knew where we were business wise and he took a
cheap shot
SCOTTIAN says to (19:21):
It's water under the bridge now
CharlieB says to (19:21):
for the most part, the reunion tour was good. There
were ups and downs but we would see the excitement on
the faces and it kinda got good to us as well
SCOTTIAN says to (19:22):
Anyway, the tour worked on many different levels. I
really believe we became a great band again. Granted,
we were only playing the old stuff, but it really
gelled
SCOTTIAN says to (19:22):
At some point we all decided to go forward with Joey.
SCOTTIAN says to (19:23):
Why not? It seemed like the right thing to do.
CharlieB says to (19:23):
ditto
CharlieB says to (19:23):
now here's where it's going to get weird
SCOTTIAN says to (19:23):
After the Zombie tour I believe we had the first
conversations with him about making a record
SCOTTIAN says to (19:24):
Even though during that tour Joey was already acting
like he didn't want to be there
SCOTTIAN says to (19:24):
He didn't want to got to Japan and I had to talk him
into it
CharlieB says to (19:24):
Joey is a very nice person but he has demons, as we
all do in some way or another
SCOTTIAN says to (19:24):
I don't know why he changed so drastically
SCOTTIAN says to (19:25):
I though moving forward and making a record was all he
wanted to do but once we started trying to communicate
with hi it all fell apart.
CharlieB says to (19:25):
I spent hours on the phone with him , when it got to
hour 3 I wanted to jump into the phone and strangel
him
SCOTTIAN says to (19:26):
Long story short, we were offered the Sabbath (with
Dio) dates back in December. We were so excited
SCOTTIAN says to (19:26):
We figured this would really make Joey happy because
he loves Dio
SCOTTIAN says to (19:26):
Go ahead Charlie
CharlieB says to (19:27):
but Joey felt he couldn't continue unless he had some
info
SCOTTIAN says to (19:27):
We couldn't believe he wouldn't do the Sabbath dates
CharlieB says to (19:2Cool:
it all comes down to dollars and cents with him
CharlieB says to (19:2Cool:
THAT'S THE FUCKING TRUTH
SCOTTIAN says to (19:2Cool:
And he was and would've gotten an equal piece of
everything
CharlieB says to (19:2Cool:
EVERYTHING
CharlieB says to (19:29):
I hate when I read that SCOTT and CHARLIE did this or
SCOTT and CHARLIE did that
CharlieB says to (19:29):
Fucking bullshit
SCOTTIAN says to (19:29):
He thinks he has been cheated even after his own
business managertold him that everything was right
with the books
CharlieB says to (19:29):
Children can't run things, it takes leaders
SCOTTIAN says to (19:29):
After hearing that 10 times I took it as a personal
offense
SCOTTIAN says to (19:30):
I tried to talk to him and he wouldn't answer my
attempts
CharlieB says to (19:30):
I told him that he'd be letting down alot of
people....didn't make a difference
SCOTTIAN says to (19:30):
You don't accuse someone of stealing and then
disappear
CharlieB says to (19:30):
this is the truth
SCOTTIAN says to (19:31):
We tried. We bent over backwards and all we got was a
bunch of vague non sensical answers
CharlieB says to (19:31):
like that interview he did that appeared on
Blabbermouth
CharlieB says to (19:31):
I don't want to slag him, I don't want to start that
CharlieB says to (19:32):
I guess I'm just really dissapointed in him
SCOTTIAN says to (19:33):
It's a simple question; do you want to make a record?
Yes or no? All we got back was that he felt cheated.
After we were offered the Sabbath thing again a few
weeks ago we tried one more time. He still wouldn't
talk to us. That was it. I wished him luck in
SCOTTIAN says to (19:33):
life and told him I hope he realizes what he's giving
up.
CharlieB says to (19:34):
Joey has a good heart, I think his issues just get in
the way of his decisions
SCOTTIAN says to (19:34):
Joey is 45 years old. Grow up and be a man. take
responsibility for your life.
SCOTTIAN says to (19:35):
It's sad that it ended the way it did but it was out
of our hands
SCOTTIAN says to (19:35):
End of story.
CharlieB says to (19:35):
basically
SCOTTIAN says to (19:35):
Moving forward....
CharlieB says to (19:35):
exactly
CharlieB says to (19:35):
we're not fighting
CharlieB says to (19:36):
we're going to start writing a record
SCOTTIAN says to (19:36):
No, Joey disagreed. That's it, no more Joey questions.
SCOTTIAN says to (19:36):
Go tell Joey at his solo dates.
CharlieB says to (19:36):
this record could be an ANTHRAX record or it could be
something else
