ANTHONY, the grass is GREENer on the circa side.




i have every intention of writing a post tomorrow about my life and what's not going on in it. but i just wanted to vent for a small moment.
i am about to throw out a rant that will only be appreciated and read by no one, except ashley if she could read it. but it will make me feel better to get it out, even if it's like screaming into a forest.
so, anyway. there is this band called Saosin, if you're Mormon you've at least heard of them probably. because it's a big deal when any fellow Mormon is in the lime light, and their current singer Cove Reber is a Latter Day Saint.
when Saosin was formed in 2003 however, Cove was not a part of the band. They created the band with singer Anthony Green. (Cove was actually a huge fan of Saosin before he joined.) they recorded one album and then Anthony decided to part in 2004 as he was not satisfied with musical direction of the band. No hard feelings. So, they held auditions for new singers and because of his vocal similarity, Cove was in.
SIX YEARS LATER,
Anthony Green has created TONS of music for people to enjoy, Circa Survive, The Sound of Animals Fighting, and my personal favorite, his solo work.
Cove Reber has continued on with Saosin, touring and becoming vastly popular.
My rant is this:
people still have the audacity to make comments like: "i miss anthony green in saosin."
ummm.... i'm sorry but Cove is more a part of Saosin than Anthony Green. He has more than paid his dues. And Anthony Green clearly couldn't have been successful in a band that he wasn't musically compatible with. we've gotten double the great music out of this and i am quite frankly tired of hearing comments like that. mostly because i know that people just throw that out to sound cool. because they want people to think they know what they're talking about, they've been with saosin from the beginning.
even if that's the case, SHUT UP. you sound like a class of '78 quarter back who can't let go of the day he blew the state championship.
that is all. like you care.

I almost care :)

But personally, I am glad anthony had some down time to do his solo stuff.
