110% agreed. If average, everyday ppl like us gotta be careful when dealing with folks online, how much more so a muhfucka with high a profile?
Looks like they wont be coming back for a while.
Do the other members have side gigs?
Ive seen the drummer support other artists but thats about it
Well at least this time fans got a hiatus notice
Hiatus is a smart move.
I love it whenever we have constantly expanding thread titles that just describe a story that will stay with the community forever.
Imagine hiring a new guy for your band and he mess up so bad that it forces you into hiatus. That sucks, but probably it’s for the best. I hope they get their shit together and bounce back
May as well take the hint and go with one guitarist for the foreseeable future. It’s a common trend in metal these days.
I think the worst park is that even if they kicked him out. Kenta defended him. So the dude tainted the band forever.
But yea honestly, their music is more than fine to survive with just one guitartist.
I think the reason they went with a new guitarist instead of a bassist was because of Kazuki’s hand injury from 11 years ago, I don’t think he ever fully recovered from it and iirc they had Tama from the band New Breed as a live support guitarist back him up for several years before Daiki joined the band. They probably should have had Tama join instead because he fit them well imo
