Interesting timing to be leaving. Has he commented on this at all? I wonder if it was solely his choice or if it was a mutual parting of ways. Hope they at least knew this was a possibility with shows on the horizon in a few months.

Never heard that stuff from Brain. Good pull there. Some time has passed so maybe he has changed his tune but I don’t really see him coming back to play with the current lineup. Maybe Sorum? We’ll see.

Edit: I just re-read the part about the amicable exit. So it sounds like it was a mutual decision, although that could be just a nice way to put it and the band actually had someone else in mind that they preferred. With this band, who knows if we’ll ever really know and ultimately it doesn’t really matter. I wish they were bringing in a drummer to help with the release of new music but we know that’s not the motivation in all likelihood. Frank lasted a long time and he was loyal. Who’s next? Most likely they already know who it is, they’re just not showing their cards yet.

Yeah, I was monitoring early on Tuesday night and all the projections were Trump was going to win and by a decent margin. And those kept getting stronger as the night went on, but I still didn’t trust them. But it did play out that way, which was shocking. Never thought he’d win the popular vote. Like you said, the whole democratic platform and campaign was Trump is Hitler and “anybody but Trump”. Apparently that didn’t work? Were the 11 million more people that voted against him just fed up with the last four years? Doesn’t really add up.

Just curious, what’s your issue with Vance? I bought into the media hype that’s he’s a nut, but I was thoroughly impressed by him during the VP debate. I thought Walz was pretty good too. Left watching that wishing those were the two candidates for President. That gave Trump a boost in the polls after Kamala was gaining some momentum. Maybe anything would have been refreshing after watching the Trump/Biden and Trump/Harris debates though. The bar certainly wasn’t set very high.

Everything I’ve seen and heard from Vance though, I’ve been impressed with. Granted, it’s limited to the debate and some other clips here & there. But he seems well spoken, knowledgeable, accountable, etc.

I love me some Axl Rose, but this could possibly go down as the most useless website ever. I can’t see him contributing much of anything to it, so what’s the point? Maybe he’ll prove me wrong, but I’m certainly not expecting to be checking for daily updates.
