[ConnieOH]

Damn, that sucks! Just when it seemed like things were really starting to take off for them. Well, I wish them all the best

 

[MysticX9]

Wow, didn't see this coming! That's really a shame
but best wishes to Lance and Pyramaze, so glad I
was able to see them at PP VII -

Someones gotta appreciate the kirk/spock joke..sigh...i worked hard for that one!

 

[J-Dubya 777]

I appreciated it!

Best of luck to both camps. I'm sure each will create some damn fine music
in the future!

J-Dubya - very happy to have seen the band at PP this year.....

The minute I hit "Submit Thread" I knew that someone was going to make that connection...

 

[Tess]

WOW!

 

[Andy Laudano]

OMG! LOL!!!

Sorry Nathan, but I thought the same thing when I first read your post!

 

[VenomGA]

I ams orry to read this news this morning. I wish both the Band and Lance the best

 

[am_ash2]

I'm just glad I got to be their sponsor and see their last performance. It is very sad, but Pyramaze will continue and so will Lance.

 

[BABS]

Wasn't expecting to hear this news. As someone said a few posts ago at least we have Avian to look forward to.

Lance has an amazing voice.

I thought it was hysterical, but my words can only cheapen it...

Hey Nathan, you had a typo in your original quote, so I fixed it for you. You can buy me a beer at ProgPower to say thanks.

ROFLMAO!!! Thought I disagree with you (I personally prefer the Hagar-era, though it was all good), that was damned funny, Zod!!

I hear that Tommy is starting a side project called "OOO-TEE-NEE!" which will feature the original Jawa line-up from Episode 4. An album and tour dates are TBA.

To that...Although I'm not sure of the dialect you're using here. The spelling may be off. J-man can we get a ruling here?

 

[arnavut]

what were those "irreconcilable differences" ?

Okay, just so everyone knows, the spelling is Utinni, but the meaning maybe different given the context in which the the word is used.

Fear - it means OH CRAP!
Continment - EAT THAT WHICH YOU LIKE
Mad - EAT CRAP
Happy - MOST GRACIOUS OF WORLDS
Sad - GO AWAY I AM NOT OF THIS TIME
Disgusted - GO AWAY AND PLAY WITH A BANTA

I still don't get it.

what's that ole' cliche? ... long distant relationships never work. at least there are two STELLAR albums to always look back on.

but this completely blows. insert vomiting smiley face, that pretty much sums it up.

 

[The Invisible Guest]

As long as you keep saying it, I think you're warding it off.

That's too bad, but I have to say I'm not *terribly* disappointed, as I liked MC far more than LotBC. I'll look forward to what comes next from both camps.

Same here ... I also didn't much care for Bone Carver, after really liking the debut. They had dropped off my list of "A" bands. Honestly I think each party can find a better fit for one another. I wish them all the best !!

So um.

In this past year. Several bands signed for PP or Pre-Party had lineup changes after being signed, and prior to their show. And now at least 2 bands have had the lead singers quit the band after PP.

maybe it's the start of the PROGPOWER CURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Andy Laudano]

Was Black Sabbath over when Ozzy left? Hardly.

Was Iron Maiden over when Paul DiAnno left? Hardly.

Was Symphony X over when Rod Taylor left? Exactly.

Was Dream Theater over when Charlie Domenici left? Some might say yes...but most wouldn't.

Was Fates Warning over when John Arch left? I'm biased, but of course not.

Plenty of examples of bands not only surviving, but thriving after a lineup change, even when the person departing was talented.

I'd prefer to think as positively as possible and wish both Lance and the remaining Pyramaze guys nothing but the best in their future efforts -- I'm sure they all have a lot of great music to make.

Just because there are exceptions to every rule, doesn't mean the rule doesn't apply. The simple fact is that the majority of fans identify a singer with a band more than any other member. More than any instrument, it's the vocals that give a band it's identity. I loved Tad Morose, but when I think of their music, I think of Urban Breed. Unless they miraculously find a singer VERY similar to Urban, they won't be Tad morose to me, they'll be just another band. The same principle applies to Pyramaze, unless the find someone VERY similar to Lance (good luck!), to me they'll be just another band. Just my opinion, but a lot of people I've talked to tend to agree. As another example, look at Balance of Power. They still haven't recovered from losing Lance. You can't simply replace someone that talented.
