Waiting for the ETID-Norma Jean-Holy+Gold super group and tour.

 

replace ex-norma jean drummer with current norma jean drummer. seems about right.

 

Makes sense.

 

Goose is a monster so this is GREAT news

 

The drummers aren't as bad as bass players in ETID but it's close!

 

I love Daniel but the dude can’t stay anywhere. Norma Jean, Underoath, and now ETID.

Goose is a damn good replacement, just curious if this is filler or full time. Norma Jean can’t afford to lose him.

 

I had no clue he left; another one I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

To be fair, did he actually quit/was fired from Underoath or was he simply not asked to be part of their reunion?

 

Touché, good question. Still, my faith in future projects he may do is very low now.

 

Touring can be exhausting (and ETID tours a lot) and sometimes people want to just stay home with their loved ones.

 

And yeah, NJ "needs" him more, but they need to not BRICKWALL everything on the next album so you can hear how good the dude is.

 

Pretty sure Goose and the bassist left NJ. Goose told a friend at a HIL show that at least..

 

What the hell. No. I loved Daniel in the band. Dammnit.

 

If that's true, that absolutely sucks. Almost as much as me just now finding out that Dan left ETID. He was a magnificent fit for their style and absolutely killed it on Low Teens. I remember hearing Andy say on the podcast that he wasn't sure Daniel would be up to the task of writing in their style, and he blew them all away. This is a huge bummer, but I'm sure Clay is crushing.

 

Yeah how did I not see this news already is crazy to me.

 

Wasn't this dude in Fear Before? Tight

 

Man, getting rid of Davison in favor of Gillespie is the stupidest thing UnderOath did. (if that's what happened)

 

It's a real life Spinal Tap.

Seriously though, I've never been disappointed with any of the drummers they've had, so I'm sure I won't mind.

 

Drumming wise, I agree. Although we all know there couldn't have been a reunion without Aaron.

 

Yeah, but I'd prefer no reunion and another record from the Disambiguation lineup. Spencer is a better singer anyways. Let him carry all the duties.

 

While I agree with you for the most part... the fans want what they want and UO knows that.

 

It could still happen down the road but I doubt it'll happen anytime soon. Also, weren't they in a really bad place mentally during the Disambiguation days?

 

Yup and Aaron (looking back) kind of regrets leaving. He admits that it was pretty stupid and dramatic of him in retrospect.
