The Red Chord part ways with drummer.
John Longstreth (formerly of Origin, Skinless, Angel Corpse fame) apparently has
another ex-band to add to the list. According to a messageboard post by
Longstreth, he sites "stylistics difference" in the split.
Taken from The Red Chord site:
"Several sites beat us to it, but the rumors are indeed true. John Longstreth is
no longer in the band. To avoid any complications, we'll stick with the simple
'stylistic differences' explanation, because it's more accurate than any other.
I'd like to believe we're all still on good terms. We do, however, have to
cancel our upcoming shows.
There are a few people filling in and helping out in the meantime to aid in
finalizing new material while we find a new permanent member. A big special
thanks to our original drummer, Mike Justain, for helping us out the last few
days."
Parties interested in trying out can send sample recordings of their playing via
audio or video format to the BMA address below or e-mail the band at
theredchord@hotmail.com. Parties are asked that they should be fully confident
they can play the older Red Chord material. Serious inquiries only!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!

I wish Mike Justain would just get back behind the set for the Red Chord. Although Unearth is a great oppurtunity to further his career in music, he's just too good for that band. The Red Chord is where it's at.

I hope Joe doesn't take this too hard.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Sep 21,2004 10:43pm
personally, I hope that mike comes back to TRC.
his intensity just added a 100x to TRC.
I sort of always felt that mike was the prodigal son of TRC and one day, after being sick of unearth, would come back to TRC.

I hope RAOV finds a drummer first.



toggletoggle post by Terence   at Sep 21,2004 11:08pm
RAOV , shit im sorry to hear that. Maybe Longstrength can join? :P
Good luck guys!

Old news. John told me about it the day it happened. Which was technically a few months ago. The Red Chord is poop anyways.

who was the 3rd?

I wonder why he joined on the first place.



toggletoggle post by Siberia   at Sep 22,2004 8:44am
Yeah, who was the third, oh wait I think I might know...............

But I want to hear some guesses first.



toggletoggle post by succubus  at Sep 22,2004 8:49am
the 3rd is secret info..i wonder when it will be officially announced



toggletoggle post by mOe at Sep 22,2004 9:15am
I didn't think John sounded very good in TRC, anyway. I saw them at Hellest and it just wasn't the same.

bump for the boners that start new threads.

sorry im a huge boner today,my bad

Great. Our loss is overshadowed. We're the Mother Theresa to tRC's Princes Diana. We're the Ray Charles to their Reagan. They'll probaby have a drummer in days.

GET US A DRUMMER.

from john himself on the derek roddy board:


"Subject: The Red Chord. not for me.

Well, here i am again, jobless in the scene.

As it turns out, yours truly and The Red Chord have parted ways under the ever so popular "stylistic differences" clause.

so what.......


im already talking to someone else. A completly NEW project possibly in the works.


For now im going to relax, not tour for a while, practice, finish my kit, do some studio work, get some rest, see what happens, and mostly NOT GIVE A SHIT. "

I bet he is a bundle of joy to work with.



toggletoggle post by intricateprocess   at Sep 23,2004 11:12pm
sounds like it



toggletoggle post by mOe at Sep 28,2004 11:52am
They need to get Jon Dow from Deadwater back in the fold. I thought he was a mighty fine replacement.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Sep 28,2004 12:03pm
they already did

Fuck that guy. Origin opened for Anal Cunt once in KC and after they bored everyone to death and we kicked ass our drummer saw him walking around all disgusted that AC got a better response than they did, on their home turf. The awesomest quote from him was "they're not even a real band". What a fag. Goes to show that no matter how technically talented you are, it does not make you interesting.





toggletoggle post by RustedAngel at Sep 28,2004 3:44pm
i'd be pretty bored with AC... as I am with shit like Anal blast... I like seeing real bands.

Nor does it make you a good band member. As ArrowHead was telling me when Pillory was up in VT, either a band is really good and a bunch of pricks, or they suck and are the coolest people you'll ever meet.

I feel that finding that balance is the key. I feel everything has a balance, I've thought this way for a really long time. That's when I found myself being able to manage a full time job, being a full time student, and being in a band that practiced 3 night/week and played shows on weekends. I actually had my best semesters during that period of time.




toggletoggle post by Josh_Martin at Sep 28,2004 4:15pm
What I thought was the funniest part was our drummer at the time, John Kevorkian, could play faster and better than Longstreth. It just wasn't until he joined Today is the Day that the public got to see that side of his playing.
