Who Didn't Regret Quitting Their Band?

[AnthonyFocxsFogMachine]

Bill Wyman

[Bono Nettencourt]

Quietly fired.

[roxxxtar]

Belinda Carlisle
Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum

[Turner Coates]

Quietly fired.

Hmmmm...interesting theory.
But why would be he fired?

[DangerZone]

Mustaine

You mean the hand injury that gave him a year off and was a good excuse to get Ellefson outta there?

No, when he quit Metallica to start megadeth

[Gibsonite]

Bill Wyman

Yeah, he would've missed out on seeing his wife grow up had he not quit when he did

[Van Ailin']

Bill Bruford did not regret quitting Yes . . . either time it happened.

[ElectrickMagick]

I don't think it's fair to say Robert Plant quit Led Zeppelin, but he's the only one who has been standing in the way of a reunion tour the last 30 years. Plant likes what he's doing now, and has so much FU money that he can say whatever he wants to Page.

I'll always be bummed I never saw Zeppelin, but Plant's solo career is really amazing and criminally underrated.

[Bono Nettencourt]

Percy's been in the way the whole way, he pulled the plug on XYZ and the 86 and 88 reunions too. Jimmy's flirtation with Coverversion was what finally broke the ice.

[Van Ailin']

Randy Bachman ultimately did not regret leaving The Guess Who, although he's said it got really dicey for him in '71 and '72 before BTO got going. Just prior to that, he had to a stay awake all night quite a bit to make ends meet.

He was fired, but Ron McGovney has said he never regrets losing the Metallica gig to Cliff.

ALl things considered, I'd say Chris DeGarmo has no regrets about leaving the clusterfuck that Queensryche became.

I bet Matt Barlow is glad he left Iced Earth.

Chris DeGarmo was center stage in that clusterfuck.

"Hear In The Now Frontier" was nothing more than a DeGarmo solo cd.

[Love_Industry]

Chris DeGarmo was center stage in that clusterfuck.

"Hear In The Now Frontier" was nothing more than a DeGarmo solo cd.

DeGarmo was the man behind the downfall of Queensryche

1. Silent Lucidity. Their biggest hit, sure, but not representative of the band
2. The CDG ballads on Promised Land, too many and mostly failed attempts to write another Silent Lucidity.
3. HITNF. The album that killed their career.

Replacing him with Kelly Gray certainly ddn't make things better, but they were already a shell of the band that gave us Rage and Mindcrime by then.
