HeadBanger, I agree totally.
THIS is the place where details and explanations should be found ... not in one-member interviews on his solo tour or in snippets from other on-line heavy metal music news sources.
Do the guys "owe" us an explanation? No.
Not anymore than Guido "owes" an explanation as to why he wears the shoes he wears.
(Sorry - Guido - had to pick on you a little bit).
Using the guise of a "big" announcement in December was pretty crummy though.
I don't fault the guys for wanting to retire ... I cannot imagine how hard it is to leave your families for months/years at a time ... BUT there was a better way to do it. I imagine this is how it felt to get Rob's "fax" when he wanted to pursue his solo career (again ... that's the story of how he left - I'm not putting any real credence into it).
Nobody's self-sites are saying much either (obviously).
Unfortunately, I remember the JP site when Ripper was in the band ... and there was no love for Ms Andrews then either. Heck - I don't even SEE any of those folks on this noticeboard...unless, of course, you're using aliases now.
Sad. Still deeply saddened.
I joke about why my cover band broke up ("creative differences" ... I know, in a freakin' cover band?!) - but I wonder if there is some thread of that throughout the albums many of you gripe about. You've got a writing team solidly built of 3 people - with different perspectives, interests, agendas (not meant in a bad way) and personalities. Could that be why "we" aren't getting the exact music "we" think "we" want? Do we really know how much input Ian and Scott have on the new songs? How about the in-studio producers/engineers? I love most of the stuff Rob has done on his own ... and Glenn too. And I love the RacerX stuff Scott's done. But not EVERY song is my favorite ... we've all just got different tastes. I don't know - just a rambling.
