Lostprophets Find The Funny In Rubin's Exit
Ilan Rubin says The Lostprophets hold no ill will toward him for leaving to drum for Nine Inch Nails, noting his former band mates are big fans of his new group. But what does the band say? In a tongue-in-cheek posting, the members state, quote, "I hear you asking did he bite the hand that feeds? What kind of reptile or demon seed is he? That my friends needs to stop right now. I do not want this. Sometimes love is not enough, and after three years the line begins to blur. We asked him 'You know what you are?,' while he replied if only! Then went on to tell NIN 'I'm looking forward to joining you finally because he is a naughty little piggy.'"
The band continued throwing in Nine Inch Nails song titles while explaining Rubin's exit. They add, quote, "This puts in motion the beginning of the end for Ilan and Lostprophets. We have all grown closer to him and know he is not the great destroyer. No matter what he never gave up on our vessel. In this twilight we are letting you know that there is no need to panic or worry. This isn't the start of the downward spiral. We are now even deeper into the new album and will never succumb to the great below." |
