This is so sad....I hate goodbyes....Well, I guess I will be seeing you at Strings Attached on Saturdays, but I'll still miss you playing
for The Livid! Bye, Christian!
The night's as hot as hell. It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town - I'm staring at a goddess. She's telling me she
wants me. I'm not going to waste one more minute wondering how I've gotten this lucky. She smells like angels ought to smell, the perfect
woman... the Goddess. Goldie. She says her name is Goldie.

And to think that they just had a show on like Thursday...
Like I said, I'm sure there's no hard feelings between the guys. Only they know what went down, so we oughta be respectful of their
decision.
you won't let me down...

Oh, and best of luck Christian.
Is it safe to assume show's will be cancelled for a while?

Thanks,Chris.
*blows kisses to everyone who enters this thread and hands out kleenex tissues*
It's gonna be alright, I'm sure if they went through with it is because there's some type of good thing that will come out of this
in the long run, it's a sad loss nonetheless.
you won't let me down...

Woah. that was unexpected. Well, good luck to him, and good luck to the rest of you guys with finding a new bassist.
So close to a new album too.

Apparently, they've got a new bassist already. That was fast. And yeah...wow I didn't even think about the new album until you mentioned
it, Sin. Wow. This blows.

I only have this: His name is Rob and he is a little bit taller than Adam, and he is a very talented bassist.

oh man, Christian was awesome... not only his bass playing, but also his killer backup vocals, im really gunna miss him.
i am still wondering if the new bassist "rob" is for real, cause it just seems too weird.
hey, have did the band record At the Seams, and that new one "the Tide" with Christian already, or not, cause this is gunna be weird, two
bassists on one album... and i wonder if the album will be released later than it was because of this.
one other thing is what does Christian planning to do now? a new band? some other persuit?
this blows, but im sure it'll all turn out well in the end.
Some things take more than a lifetime.

holy shit, i was convinced this was a joke at first. I still kinda wonder, how is this happening.........
I hope we can hear details about what happened. I'm crushed, but I hope things can be worked out.
Just when i thought everything was taking off...
like why would adam say Hello everyone! if he had news like that...

How do you communicate those emotions that are so intense that no physical expression or series of words can even scratch the surface?

Because Adam is THAT much of a nice guy..he couldn't possibly come into this thread and be like typing in a morbid tone.
We have to try and see the positive side of this, even if we can't see one right now (lord knows I can't)
Hopefully this guy Rob is at least half as talented and great as Christian was. [Hehe, plus Paige and I keep wondering if he's cute..haha]

The new guy Rob is a big guy and he plays a five string bass. They've already played a local show in Toronto for a bunch of kids and Chris and
Adam say it went very well.
Best of luck to Christian, he will be missed.

Guys, calm down and go read the thread Christian himself started.
Things happen for a reason, we need to cope with this situation...it's not like he's dead...
Yes, it's a sad loss, but the guy will still be around rockin' the free world..
So yeah, let's all put on a happy face...
you won't let me down...

Come on guys. Give us some credit. Do you actually think we'd replace Christian with someone who couldn't play?? As for the backups I
will be covering most of them. The new album is still going to be recorded no later than it would have been with Christian in the band. The songs
that haven't been recorded will be recorded by Rob, who already knows how to play them. You guys should listen to Christian when he says
it's for the better of the band. Expect to see a lot more shows kids.
