The Official After the Burial Thread: All things ATB!

[Nour Ayasso]

If Ibanez has ANY sense... They will do this. Too many fans... And think of the amount of proceeds that will happen.... THIS HAS GOT TO HAPPEN!!!

I mean haven't we all been talking about this since it happened? I'm surprised a petition just now went up. Me an my friends have been talking about it since it happened, we'd been waiting on Ibanez and then saw everyone painting there RG8's green. Honestly, if Ibanez did a green RG8 stock run I'd be really happy.

Edit: sad that Ibanez has a Justin page with 'next events'...

Right? It sorta bugs me when I see stuff like this...like come on man we all f*cking know what just happened.

Anyway, after reading through those dates it reminded me of the off-tour floor show they did here in vegas. Makes me sad man.

Me too man, I was kind of expecting them to and actually held off on replacing my 8 string for a long time waiting for it. Juice was one of their biggest 8-string players, eclipsed only by Tosin, I think.

I mean those dudes are some of the biggest Ibanez nerds I know, can't really think of anybody more loyal to their brand. A limited-run 8/7-string model or finish would have been on point and the best way for them to recognize him and all that he did for them.

God. It still bums me out. Even at just random points in the day, it just hits me sometimes and takes the wind from my sails, and I've only ever met the guy once. I still cannot even imagine what the boys in ATB and his family are going through.

Dude a simple bright green RG8 with a maple fretboard would be an instant buy from me. With or without the inlay. The idea of proceeds going to mental health research would be a biiiiig plus to making me buy it "now" versus some point in the future. (If that makes sense)

 

[Mathemagician]

So any odds of an Rg8 dealer run if Ibanez declines do anything with this? Would really like to see it be official & go for mental health awareness. Sucks that it's still a bit of a taboo subject in the US.

Not impossible considering Axe Palace is running a 'short run' comparably priced to the "off the rack" version. You'd just have to find a dealer interested and with enough buying power to make it a reality, which isnt a stretch.

Is Lee still not on this tour? :/

From ATB's Facebook page

So.... A year ago or so I decided I was done touring so I could focus on my family. I just want to thank all the bands I've toured with, all the fans that came out to shows and all of the friends I made on the road.
ATB will always be a part of me and I will miss performing. I wish Dan Dan Carle, Trent Hafdahl, and Anthony Notarmaso nothing but the best.

Looks like Lee is calling it a day

"A year or so ago..."

More like July 21st, IMO. We knew it would take a toll on the band. Not to say that there isn't also personal issues/tiredness.

 

[BrailleDecibel]

Yup, Lee is officially done. It does suck, but is completely understandable, having a baby at home and all isn't exactly conducive to being out on tour all the time.

That child already has a cool metal dad!

Let's hope the rest of the members will continue to push on!

 

[Jake]

Saw them last week and they absolutely crushed it. Think it's safe to say they will continue to do so with no sign of slowing down.

So glad to hear that!

 

[Ordacleaphobia]

Hope you're right, Jake. Reaaaallllly don't want to see these guys ever call it quits.
Kind of a bummer Lee's done even with creative input, always enjoyed his parts. Definitely can't fault him for it though, family is kind of a big deal.

 

[mikernaut]

Never had really gotten into these guys before, but loving the newest CD though.

 

[Nour Ayasso]

It's unfortunate to be blasting ATB and log on to read this. Definitely frightening me because I don't want them to disband ):

 

[aesthyrian]

Guys, if they decided to carry on post Justin's passing, then they surely are continuing on after the departure of a bassist who AFAI didn't even record bass tracks on the latest album, or tour in the past year.

Also, Justin was a huge contributing factor the the band, much more the Lee. Not trying to sound harsh, but it's true.

So keep supporting ATB, because that's what will keep them from disbanding.

This is what I feel. From their reaction to Justin, Trent and Anthony seem vocally interested in continuing. I haven't heard much from Dan, but I don't see any reason to assume his mindset is different. I'm sure this Lee this wasn't a surprise to any of them, and they had talked about it for a while.

To be honest, the impression I've always got from Dan is that hes really shy/timid.

I'll put a lot of money on it that they'll fill Lee's spot and push forwrd.

 

[anomynous]

They already filled Lee's spot with whoever's been touring with them since November
