The April Toll for Metal

[lordcthulhu]

Jeff Loomis - Nevermore
Van Williams - Nevermore
KK Downing - Judas Priest
Roy Khan - Kamelot (now apparently because of "religious" issues)
Per Wiberg - Opeth
Matt LaPorte - Jon Oliva's Pain (RIP)
Chris Spicurra and Andols Herrick - Chimaira
Scott Columbus - Manowar (RIP)

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.

 

[FIXXXER]

Chris Spicurra and Andols Herrick - Chimaira

WHAT!? FUCKING NO! really?

 

[lordcthulhu]

WHAT!? FUCKING NO! really?

Well Andols was no suprise as he played his "last" show with them in December, but yeah, Chris is goneskies.

 

[Cyanide_Anima]

Balls, indeed. Kamelot too? and Andols... man that sucks too. April sucks this year.

 

[Lowberg]

YES I DID, YOU TWAT. APRIL'S FOOL WAS 26 DAYS AGO FOO'. I went to Google news and searched Iron Maiden and all I got was "Lady Gaga roadies for Iron Maiden" WTF

 

[Lowberg]

My initial thought that was I would google the lady ga ga thing and be like "fuck, that guy got me back good" when nothing came up, but wtf that's nuts.

But i apologize i didn't have my glasses on and thought this thread was called April Troll for Metal

I knew you'd think twice, haha.

You share April Troll title with 006 for this thoughtful opninion on KK Downing:

Kerry King? I kid. Never liked Priest, or Iron Maiden either - though don't ask me why I am throwing that in here, so good, fuck 'em.

 

[Skinny Viking]

don't forget Scott Columbus from Manowar died

 

[lordcthulhu]

Duly noted.

 

[DanLights]

wow, this month sucked

 

[maddnotez]

Yes but what will next month bring from Loomis and Williams? :hotjump:

 

[Nebulous]

I hadn't heard about Khan. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[lordcthulhu]

I hadn't heard about Khan. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[Plankis]

Evil-gasm

 

[Morgan C]

Roy Khan - Kamelot (now apparently because of "religious" issues)

Whaaaaaat. Fuck. I mean they haven't put out a good album in years but the Black Halo is one of my favourite albums of all time. Roy is an incredible singer. Damn Christians (or Muslims or whatever the case may be)!

Chimaira and Per leaving are the ones that bother me the most.
Nevermore I saw coming anyway and will probably be for the best, and the rest of the bands on the list I never got into it.
Really hope Opeth can find a great replacement for Per. Per's contribution to the band is really overlooked by many people IMHO, a hugely talented guy

 

[phatfil]

but Chimaira did pick up Emil. and on bass at that!

 

[GarethSE]

All of the active bands that I am currently following are all totally okay.

Sucks to be you guys.
