I'm sad about Sonny leaving, but what makes me happy is that I know Matt will do a great job. And I also know that Sonny's solo stuff will be good too. I'm just happy I saw them with Sonny. But, the new bass player kinda bothers me. I just don't like him as much as the others they've had. But, as long as he plays music I like I'm ok with him. |

I really like Sonnys solo work, it just seems like right for him i guess, as long as he and fftl are happy im good, its just akward not seeing him there. |

Sorry if someone's already posted this.
There are many rumors going around right now about our band, and we have finally ended up in a position to be able to share with you what has happened over the last couple months since the Atreyu Tour fiasco, the cancellation of the Lost Prophets tour, and our backing out of the Give It A Name festival.
Sonny Moore has quit the band and is working on a solo career. We (Good, Richter, Bloom and Matt Manning -- now an official member, by the way) were in the studio writing for the new record getting ready to fly to Los Angeles to meet up with Sonny to record the record when we got the news about him leaving.
We know that Sonny's departure is going to be a huge deal to a lot of our fans, and we are sorry that these things continue to happen to us (and you). We all tried to make compromises, but sometimes artists just have to do things for themselves.
To make matters worse, Capitol Records was on the verge of being bought out by another label and bands were being dropped. Money was put on hold from the label and with FFTL already in debt due to the Atreyu tour and studio costs..... Well, we were pretty much crippled.
We had a decision to make that night at the studio that I will never forget... This was the most epic, movie-worthy event of my life. We just said, "Screw this. Let's just do it ourselves. The whole thing -- just us four." The good news is Sonny leaving meant that the band had to make changes, and these changes couldn't have been more positive. And so, that is exactly what we have been doing over the last couple of months -- self-producing the new From First to Last album, without a record label or Sonny.
To get the ball rolling, I quickly called my friend Lee Dyess who owns the EarthSound studio in Valdosta, GA where we recorded "dear diary" and "aesthetic" (we also helped him build it), and arranged for the studio time which cost us the rest of our money and favors from Lee. We also teamed up with our close friend Jordan Schur who is not only managing us now, but signed our band to his label Suretone (through Interscope).
Matt Good is now fronting the band along with vocals from myself and Manning. We are extremely excited about this record, and we are stoked to be singing again.
Thank you everyone so much for all of your support, and to the U.K....we are really sorry you seem to have taken the worst from this, we are gonna make it up this year we promise.
Check back for updates and keep your eyes peeled for a complete online over haul for FFTL...

Posts: 770 | February 28th, 2007 at 03:38pm just another star.:SFXtra:I read about this like 6 hours ago.
It still feels like I've been slapped in the face.
I have some theories.
Maybe i'll post them.
but they're kinda stupid.
maybe...
if you wanna know...
*is curious*
Theories?
What be they?
[[You know how Sonny had all these operations!
Maybe he's not actually working on a solo carreer!
Maybe the surgeons fucked up his voice and he cant sing anymore therefore he quit, and this whole shit about him quitting to make a solo carreer is a cover up. ]]
Obviously now I heard his solo stuff, and it proved my pessimistic theory wrong. I'm glad! |

I don't want to sound harsh, but I don't think he's coming back. Noting solo career. No part time or anything. I think he;'s gone for good and we're going to be seeing this set up (Matt, Travis, Derek, and Manning) for a long time 
Ya I know, I said that meaning that he should hurry up with the solo career...but I've just listened to them on his myspace, and they're super spiffy. |

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
i think that sonny felt bad that his throat probs were hurting the bands touring scedule and he felt like he was constantly letting the band and the fans down. this is what i think caused him to leave. And a solo career will allow him to pick and choose when he can play, and also he wont be letting three other people down

I was so upset when I heard.....Not because I thought FFTL was going to go down the drain but I worried because now Sonny's alone in the cold dark world.....And didnt he drop out of highschool too? So like, had his solo stuff sucked the only job he could have gotten would have been behind the counter at Taco Bell......I was worried. But I checked out the demos and they are so great! I sort of knew he'd go for a more techy sound. It seems more him ^__^
I'm really excited to hear more Sonny demos and I'm also totally amped for the new FFTL sound!!!
This is all so sad, but still very very exciting. It's a step forward! |
