So farewell to Mark Cross

Not totally unexpected in light of recent major changes but I really loved Mark, he was a totally amazing drummer! All the best Mark I'm sure you will do great things in the future.
 
Its a shame to hear that Mark wont be in Firewind anymore, I thought he was an excellent drummer and a really nice guy when i got to meet him in Wolverhampton last year. All the best to him and Outloud :)
 
Total Bummer !
Thought Mark was great charater in the band it all seemed to work so well.... Lauren (gf) aint going to be happy, Miss them Lycra Shorts ;) haha.

All the best mate hope to see ya again!
 
Hi people,I'm a new member on the forum.
Do you know or suspect why Marc Cross left the band? just for ''personal differences''?
Anyway,I'm sorry to hear that,cause he was such a good drummer but Michael is good choice too,I think.
 
Just a thought.....I wonder if Mark will still appear on the new Firewind album or will they re-record it all with a new drummer? That's assuming some of the album is already done of course......
 
I can't see them wasting time/money re-recording it, and that would be really petty if they did!!!
And yeah, they've definitely done some recording, in fact i'm pretty sure they've finished the recording
 
Yeah i was under the impression they done alot of the album already... not like Marks drumming was bad so am sure they'll keep the material already recorded :)

in fact i'm pretty sure they've finished the recording

Get it out then !!! ha.
 
Yeah, that would cool if Mark's work was still on the album, he's got to be one of the best drummers in the world today. Such a shame they let him slip away. I am really going to miss his drum solos live!!

ooo that dont sound good... do u have reason to believe this, or just presuming from mark leaving and members being busy.

Apparently theres an instrumental on the new one, sure i heared somewere. what am looking forward to :)
 
i heard that the world is going to end and we're all gonna die..
sometime..
Sure it's bad about Mark, because he's cool and funny and a great musician. but if it doesn't work anymore??
anyway I think that the new cd will be killer with or without mark, and you guys know that gus might be earning one or two cents more with his ozzy-work, so maybe the world isn't gonna end. you know?
 
I'll be sad to see him go. And he was a really nice bloke when i met him. It'll be intressting to hear the new album. I only heard the song they played while touring and it seemed quite good.
 
Mark is definietely playing all the songs on the new album as confirmed by Mark on his Myspace blog a few days ago! That's great news, although I am sorry he's not around to reap the rewards that the new album will bring. He also says he's got a new band coming soon in the UK, to be announced in October!

Looking forward to seeing new guy Michael play live though!
