Yeah, this is fucked up. Whose playing bass for them on the current tour? I know Chris Broderick, from Jag Panzer, is handling the guitar work. I saw him perform with them on the "Enemies" tour, and he was very good.

EDIT: James MacDonough is playing bass

i thought this was going to be about how artsy types always say they're the worst band on the planet 
Filling in for Sheppard will be longtime friend James MacDonough (ex-MEGADETH, ICED EARTH).
comment: in a way it's a good thing that Mustaine and Shaeffer (sp) fire so many people, cause it creates a deep well of prospective fill-in guys who are unemployed

Yea they do seem to be having some bad luck as of late. I dont think they will have any problems pulling off the rest of the shows with replacements though. Chris Broderick is more than up to the task of filling in for Steve, and it seems like they have confidence in the temporary bassist. Kinda sucks that I'll only get to see 3/5 of the actual band live though.

Nate The Great
What would Nathan do?
I assume that dude either just found out he had Crohn's or he had a bad complication. Crohn's is worse than a lot of forms of cancer, but if you can control it you're usually good to go.

Crohn’s disease is an ongoing disorder that causes inflammation of the digestive tract, also referred to as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Crohn’s disease can affect any area of the GI tract, from the mouth to the anus, but it most commonly affects the lower part of the small intestine, called the ileum. The swelling extends deep into the lining of the affected organ. The swelling can cause pain and can make the intestines empty frequently, resulting in diarrhea.
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, the general name for diseases that cause swelling in the intestines. Because the symptoms of Crohn’s disease are similar to other intestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis, it can be difficult to diagnose. Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in the top layer of the lining of the large intestine. In Crohn’s disease, all layers of the intestine may be involved, and normal healthy bowel can be found between sections of diseased bowel.
Crohn’s disease affects men and women equally and seems to run in some families. About 20 percent of people with Crohn’s disease have a blood relative with some form of inflammatory bowel disease, most often a brother or sister and sometimes a parent or child. Crohn’s disease can occur in people of all age groups, but it is more often diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 and 30. People of Jewish heritage have an increased risk of developing Crohn’s disease, and African Americans are at decreased risk for developing Crohn’s disease.
Crohn’s disease may also be called ileitis or enteritis.

Damn, I wouldn't start calling Nevermore cursed until they start losing members (although these aren't exactly minor injuries they're dealing with...I hope they both recover as soon as possible) or someone dies accidentally or something, but they just can't catch a break for nothing. At least they got a worthy substitute, seeing Loomis and Broderick together would rule.

Smyth says:
"During my stay at the hospital, numerous blood tests were done, one of which revealed that the level of protein in my body, better known in medical terms as creatinine, was raised well beyond a normal level, 4.9. Normal is 1-2. I was advised by doctors there to see my MD as soon as I got back home, which was following our tour with OPETH in the U.S., around late November 2005.
"After several blood tests, urine tests, and ultimately, X-rays, ultrasounds, and CT scans, doctors came to a few conclusions about my condition. It was revealed that I was born with one kidney, and because of a congenital birth defect, I had an obstruction on my ureter, which was causing my solitary kidney to 'eat' itself over the years, to a point where it is now 85% destroyed. Now, as of late April 2006, I am facing 'complete renal failure' within 6 months. This is called end stage renal failure, or CKD, of which I am on the edge of Stage 4-5. I have had 'stent placement' surgery, around 3 months ago, and that seemed to help things for a bit, but things haven't really changed either.
