yeah they must have had a pretty bad fight for 2 members to leave. i don't think he should continue with the name though, because it won't be the same.
it wasn't just 'a fight'.
they wouldn't have left the band if it was just a fight.
they said it had been strained for ages, and that they wanted to go in different directions musically.
Rhiannon, you should be pleased to know that I finally gave Mammal a proper listen, and I can say that I like what I am hearing. They are weird, in the best possible way xD
Okay, I've got more bands; Sleep Decade [they used to be called The Periscopes] but anyway, if you're into all that folky stuff you'll like them Whitley -> Yet again, good if you're weird like me and into that folky stuff Architecture In Helsinki -> they are one of my most favourite bands xD
YAAAAAAAAAAY Hahaha. They're like a billion times better live. Srsly.
I totally have to check out that last band you mentioned once I'm on a computer with sound. That's the first band in a long time someone's mentioned who I've never heard of before.
And Karnivool + Birds Of Tokyo are amaaaaaazing.
Wayside is probably one of my favourite songs ever. It doesn't get old no matter how many times I listen to it xD
Yesterday at Soundwave, Rhiannon, HEAPS of people were wearing Mammal shirts! We kept seeing them everywhere! (By that I mean that we saw three, but hey, that's definitely more than last year (; )
I was almost one of them, but I opted for by Billy Talent one haha. Especially cause I wore my Mammal tee to the BT Sidewave and it was caked in sweat. xD I saw heaps at Melbourne, too, which was awesome. And then I saw Zane (the drummer) and I was like, "ZOMG HIIIIIIIDE!"
What was funny after the Soundwave, though, was that as I was walking out I get 3 comments - the comments came consecutively. First the guy handing out flyers - "Hey, Mammal!" Then another guy walking past, "Mammal, good band!" And then from someone somewhere else in a crowd I couldn't see shouting "Mammals!" I can wear any other band tee and get at most one comment, often no one will say anything. But if I wear Mammal, no doubt any Mammalian who sees it will feel the need to say something. And that is that I love about Mammal and the fans. The passion. The absolute, unwavering, unconditional loyalty. The love of the music and what it stands for that overcomes all social barriers. It's so cool.
