"If I am guilty of one thing and one thing only it�s
the fact that I told people on a need to know basis."

I guess that means your bandmates or "brothers" weren't on a need to know basis.

"At this point I would like to thank Rob
from Devils for filling in for me on the Saturday
March 12th at the Brickyard. I was unable to play
because the blood thinners were making me to weak to
hit my drums,"

Like the other show before that you were too weak to set up or move your drums, but you were well enough to play them? Then leave 5 minutes after the show and let your personal assistants/roadies/bandmates make sure your drums made it back from the show

"I would have loved to come out and see that show but I was unable to get a car."

An all-nighter at the hospital turned into "They let me out at 10pm" Lets not forget that you were spotted at Strawberry Hill Cinemas with your girl at 10pm to catch a show at 10:10pm. Your clinic is Downtown, 5/10 minutes away from where our show was. I find it quite interesting that you made it back from downtown to Strawberry Hill in no time at all. In fact I would venture to say that had you not been spotted by a mutal friend that we would have even been notified of your activities that night. You didn't bus it there. you had a car.

"I have been dealing with this clot problem for almost
5 months now. I only missed one show and this is what
happens to me."

Sounds like he got kicked out of the band, further down he says he's leaving the band. Whatever gets you through the night.

"How dedicated to I have to be? On that note: I am
leaving Mecha Messiah to pursue other musical interests."

You just contradicted yourself. Years of you saying one thing and actually doing another have added up.

"I wish all of my band mates the best of luck. Thank you to all of you guys who have came out
to support us. Playing on stage was the best time of
my life.

Love and Respect,
Jaymz Hetfiel..... wait this isn't some kinda monster
Adam
The X- Drummer of Mecha Messiah."

"P.S. I�d like to give thanks to Chris Barlow for being
the only one to call me up. You know what I mean."

Replacing you was no easy decison. Nobody wanted to call you. I told Chris and Jerad both, from the start of this band. Every member that has come and gone I had to deal with it getting rid of or replacing them. And everytime it's always been all my fault that someone got kicked out. I told Chris and Jerad to draw straws basically. It ended up being Chris. Sadly it came to this.

Deep down none of us wanted to get rid of you. What option did you give us?

So many things like the few instances I've already pointed out above, made you flakey. We told you to stay in this band you had to be straight up with us. You had to let us in the loop. How did you try to do that? Nobody has seen or heard from you since Apr.2. Other than Chris that phoned you up 2 days ago. That's not a very stellar effort.

So rather than say "hey I'm not gonna put an effort in and start up a different band." You've wasted 2 months of everyones time.

Your diary entries here are conviently missing your post from OCT.15. You've been saying shit behind my back. For this long. Luckily I saved that entry cause I knew you would be shady as per usual and make it dissappear. Your pretty brave behind your computer. You know my number. You could have called me. You choose to go about it the way you did.

The Mecha Guestbook.

As soon as I saw Jenn's post on the guestbook (before Lexi's who the only reason I saw is because after Jig deleted everything he emailed it to me. I doubt you'd believe me. Oh well, anyway I gave her shit. Although what she said rang very true. It was not her place to say. then it escalated to your girl and Lexi throwing a drink on her and pulling her hair FROM BEHIND. Don't believe me? Ask Rob from DRH. He saw it happen. Another thing that would have never happened if I was standing right there.

With everyone schedule Being different. It made practising near impossible at 12 noon . I would be guilt tripped for going to work instead of practising. When Me Chris and Jerad found a jam space that would cost each member $70 a month we got "I can't fit that into my budget" Coming from someone that drops 100+ at a&b sound every month.

In order for a band to be successful, you need finacial backing. If you aren't signed. It comes out of your pocket. It's not fair to the other 3 members that have to carry you.

Justified? Me, Jerad and Chris thought so. Hence why the 3 of us, not just me, THE GROUP decided to move on. Time will tell if we made the right decision. I don't know why you started disliking me. I don't care anymore. The more you blast me or Mecha Messiah just proves how right our decision was.

Best of luck,

Brian
