I would love to hear Al's thoughts on all of this, however I know there is 0% chance he will come here again.

And who are you again?? Why do you think its perfectly fine to throw your hat in the ring, then point at others and bitch?
Your doing excatly what your accusing him of doing.
Theres only 1 thing you can do. Be responsible for your own behavior. If you dont like seeing something ugly said, dont follow it up by doing it yourself and act like you have a leg to stand on.
I swear, kids these days
Nobody gives a fuck about me, I'm just an angry, slightly disenfranchised fan trying to be a voice of reason. I can't influence people's opinions on a large scale.
I did not post anything in the HAARP shitstorms about the vari-speeding shit. I didn't join in because the whole discussion was horseshit and not worth the effort, but it pissed me off when the pitchforks came out with Misha in the lead.
And who the fuck are you calling "kid?"
Might depend on whether he paid for the guitar or it's being given to him.
I don't know which it is.
And who the fuck are you calling "kid?"
Whoa. Chill.

Well, it was ment to be one of those light, jovial insults that you shoot at your buddy, and not some raging insane insult that i usually throw out to all living creatures on a minute by minute basis

The language he uses in that comment is similar to the language he used here before, so I am inclined to believe that the comment is legit

just because bulb or anyone for that matter has a lot of influence doesnt mean that he cant fully express himself, get serious are you really trying to tell him what to do?

No hard feelings. I was initially a little like "AW NAW HE DI'NT" but I quickly realized sarcasm.

I'm calling him a douchebag for what he did, not telling him what to do.
Has anyone considered the idea that the conspiricists have gotten to the entire band BUT Al? Hmmm? Hmmm? Bet ya didnt huh?

Whilst I don't know everything about the situation that's surrounded these past few months, and im sure plenty will disagree with me, I do feel like he should have been cut a little slack in the live department.
I feel that so many people jumped down Al's throat when they seen that he was having difficulty performing his music on his FIRST TOUR with the band because he was bigged up to be 'the next Tosin'. He was destined to fail the moment these statements started spreading. Sure, he's making mistakes but they are emphasized so much more when you have all these crazy expectations. As many of you know, there are a lot of key factors that are involved when performing live other than technical ability, a lot of which improve over time as live experience increases.
I'm not saying its not his own fault too though, I mean shooting that Strandberg commercial and getting signed before even playing a proper bunch of shows with your new lineup... More and more expectations. But come on now, if you managed to score a deal with Sumerian AND Strandberg early into your bands career, would you take it? Of course you would, cause that's one lucky opportunity you may not get again.
He's a great songwriter though IMO, something you can not 'fake' or 'cheat'. hopefully he will be back in the future with a better perspective.

He should be cut no slack. Like the rest of the world, when you choose to take money to be a performer, you should not overbill yourself and thats what he did.
In addition, I surely wouldnt accept an endorsment deal and get signed when i knew damn well i didnt have the real skill to back it up and it was just a matter of time till everyone called me on my shit.
Bulb is a dude. Just like everyone else. I can't see the issue with him stating his opinion just like everyone else, because it's not like he's famous or anything. He's just a sorta big deal around here, in this little subgenre prevalent on this little forum.
If it were someone huge like... I dunno Lady Gaga going "lol do u even lift, losers!?!??" at One Direction then yeah, there might be something to it, but here I really don't see why special rules should apply to Misha or anyone else for that matter.
Calling the fanbase impressionable is probable spot-on, but Misha shouldn't really be held responsible for it if someone has an underdeveloped Develop-your-own-opinion Gland.
