Farewell, Jeremy!

[A2K]

So Jeremy went on another tirade on Twitter last night.

The whole tread is laced with cringey replies of Jeremy stating his feed is his "reality" but also being super vauge and criptic with his responses when people ask him directly about what the intent of the tweet was.

At any rate, I have my own opinions about all of this, but I won't go any deeper than that, out of respect for what both these men have meant to me. Just thought I'd share for those who may have not seen it.

Love to you all!

I hope that someday he and Raine can make amends and be friends again. I don't know the story from both sides, and probably never will. I think it can be handled better, but that's not my cross to carry, or any of the rest of us.

Now he’s taking shots at Arnold Lanni. Dude just seems so damn resentful. He tells fans not to get so worked up over his comments, but he seems damn set on ruining the image people have of the band. For what I gathered, the group was fairly like a band of brothers early on, and even Jeremy was shitting on Mikes guitar work in promos for Gravity, so he’s no sweet angel. Apparently he insists Raine was always a diva, always a pain, and they never got along. He’s of the opinion that bands past their prime should stop making music and just play the hits, or just give up and retire. I can’t quite remember his opinions on Bob Rock, but he acknowledged the shit show HIPT was and gave him credit for Gravity (i think). He hated the producer for Curve too. He constantly brings up how no one else can do the drum parts on OMA but him, and this was around the time Jason joined. He just seems so fucking bitter and I don’t get it. I admit, most of BB, Curve, and HIPT didn’t land for me and not everything on Somethingness either. The band has failed to live up to promises multiple times since I became a fan in 2014, and Raine’s decisions have at times been perplexing, frustrating, and his singing has certainly changed, and not for the better. The bad had abandoned the Transparent Humans project right when it seemed the most promising, they’ve waffled on release dates, took 5.5 years for Somethingness, teased many promising songs that have gone unreleased for no reason, started working with Lanni again then walked away, and have made stupid artistic choices that gutted promising albums (HIPT, Curve) or only went halfway in the right direction (Somethingness). That said, it irks me more that Jeremy acts like such a child, being entitled and drip feeding drama then playing ignorant, while Raine has at least done something to extend the longevity of the band. Sorry for the rant, it just seems that everything about this band gets more and more frustrating over the years.

I don't think the tweet about Elvin's track on Stealing Babies is an intentional direct shot at Lanni. I think it's more of the shock of not knowing what to do with, what is generally regarded as, a great piece of music recorded by Elvin.

As for the rest of your rant, I'm not sure if you're quite on point with some of your statements, but it's certainly your opinion and you're allowed to have it. Around here, take those release dates with a block of salt until you get the link to pre-order the album, haha.

Maybe he's talking about this tweet

It's from a while back, but he really rips into Lanni here.

[xjsb125]

Ah, well that makes more sense. Still, if that's how he got treated, valid opinion...

Wow! Just wow!

What a complete cunt. Begging for work on twitter and tells a fan to fuck himself. He's definitely a legend in his own head.
