First of all, I did NOT sue them....and second of all, I DESPERATELY tried to discuss matters with them personally to avoid ANYTHING LIKE THIS and yet THEY insisted on ONLY using lawyers...so my lawyers filed those papers (BACK IN APRIL mind you) as that was the position they chose to take...if the band wouldve talked to me, it wouldve NEVER come to that!!!
All that aside, this was 6 months ago....so yes indeed, we have all moved on since then...
I'm still really not allowed to discuss any of this publically, but I feel everybody's hasty and half-truth filled witchhunt yesterday deserves to be addressed to help at least try to clear my name and reputation that was so wrongly tainted by yesterday's false conclusions...
The fact is, when you have a band (or a corporation or marriage) for 25 years there are business and financial things that need to be sorted out behind the scenes...however, it was incredibly LAME of Blabbermouth to exploit these private issues and divulge personal information that is clearly nobody's business other than our own.
They are creating hate and negative propaganda and poisoning the minds and spirits of music fans around the world...shame on them.

I suppose many here know how to do this, since most of you had already upped a profile picture....can you tell me where?? LOL.. i'm feeling kind of retarded but I have looked for 15 minutes now and nothing...
Thanks!
