New site? Maybe some day.

It is with some level of regret that I must say it is my time to leave DYSENTERY.
It was a great time the past 3 or so years...
And it was a killer opportunity for me to rep AVR and write this album, to hang with and share the stage with alot of really excellent bands, and to party with so many cool people, some of whom i admired for years before even getting involved with dysentery.
The reality of my choice to leave the band has nothing to about interpersonal drama, ego or spite. Ultimately, this just boils down to the fact that that I no longer have the desire to play "slammable" type shit-- coupled with the fact that I am gonna go back to grad school to get my masters pretty soon.
Im not 100% sure if other vacancies in the band will follow, or if billbo baggins will forge on and seek replacement...time will tell. no pun intended.
There has been talk of a final show or a cd release party but im not 100% sure about the details. If you are interested, please forward any offers to the band and well see what we can come up with.
On a side note: I will keep jamming and will most def be back with a new project at some point down the line.
Many thanks to all who helped me out along the way!
You guys all rule.

Loose could work if he was saying that Dysentery is releasing Nick from his position as axeman.
Anyway, Eliot told me about this and I thought it was some cruel joke. Best of luck in what you do and I definitely feel you where slam is concerned. The world just may need less slam. |
|
|
axeMEN made me think Blue was leaving too...but Nick will be missed |
|
|
respectable departure, sir. Looking forward to hearing a new project. |
|
|
thanks dood and doods..
in the words of jens from defeated sanity after our set at great scott...
"there is no doubt that the music is good and quite catchy, but there is just one thing....you don't have shlaaam it all the time." |
|
|
All the best Nick. Hope you still keep going to shows so we can keep smoking.

If by chance you relocate to NH, look me up to make some metal minus the slam. |
|
|
You are a great man, Nick. All the best! |
|
|
Bummer to hear Nick, but I understand where you're coming from. Best of luck to you bro! |
|
|
dysentery is NOT done. Blue will just be moving up to guitar for the time being! |
|
|
Where will you guys rehearse now? |
|
|

|
|
we will practice where we always hvae man,nick had nothing to with the practice space |
|
|
Ah, I had no idea. Just a question. |
|
|
Bassless Dystenery is not a world that I want to live in.
  |
|
|
Damn, shitty shitty news. I disagree about all the slam bashing in this thread though. MOAAAAAR SLAM. I can never have enough. |
|
|
Good luck Nick. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. |
|
|
yeah definitely don't lose the slam. fuck technicality. |
|
|
I can appreciate listening to the slam, although i need technicality to keep me entertained in my playing. |

Kind of embarrassed to say this, but what does "gft" mean? |
|
|
quoted for truth
I'm saying I love listening to slam and I love groove but I'd hate to be in a soulless slam band (unless that was my goal and I'm not saying Dysentery is soulless). A slam once in a while is nice, though. |
|
|
Goodbye axe man. |
|
|
Thanks. And thank you rob for making me feel silly. (I know... I asked for it.) I know what almost all online abbreviations mean, i just didnt recognize that one. And to be honest, how often to people actually say "Quoted for truth" so when i saw qft i had no clue. Anyways...
posturing...posturing...posturing... you guys don't think i'm dumb right? posturing...posturing.... I like death metal a lot too!! posturing.. posturing...
sorry.. feeling quite silly this morning. I smoked an extra couple bingers before i left my place for work. |
|
|
Hey Ouchie, if you know anything about weed, I need to talk to you. ;) |
|
|
|
| Thanks. And thank you rob for making me feel silly. (I know... I asked for it.) |
No worries dude, you made it easy for me, plus I gotta throw a dig at ya every now and then.
To be honest though... I didn't know what the fuck it meant either, that's why I knew what the link was. Hahaha.
Back on Topic. Nick good luck with everything dude. You gots sum serious chops bro, and I am sure when you come back with another project it will shred. |
|
|
i do in fact know some things. Shoot me an email. Boarcorpse@gmail.com
Rob- word brutha, i can take digs with the best of em, i just like to embellish upon them afterward. |
|

it might be worth saying that i tried my best to maintain the original dysentery formula while also pushing towards an evolution, with my own interpretations on slam and groove. it may sound counter intuitive but i did try and make 'soulful' dm...
i cant stand austere technicality any more than i can low brow chunk and groove. i get a kick out of the whole slam vs tech argument that seems kinda prevalent these days...it makes me smile when people are close minded enough to think that it's one or the other...
song writing and riff building for me is about conflict/resolution and achieving a sense of closure, or intentionally derailing closure, as to fuck with/ manipulate the expectations and needs of the listeners/ audience.
bottom line? the old stuff we wrote just wasnt relevant to me anymore and truth be told there were songs that i HATED playing. the newer stuff was getting close to something i was really stoked about but i felt i had to omit / augment alot of the new stuff i was writing, for the sake of fitting into what i saw as a limited formula...which to me signified it was time to move on.
its been said before. you gotta do what you gotta do.
all the doods in dysentery are great guys and bros forever.
i respect and appreciate everyone's posi-vibes and understanding.
see you out on the battlefield, at a later date, with a new project.

Understood, man. I'm a fan of musical technicality, not technicality for its own sake. And I'm a fan of groove. Slam is pretty much the ultimate form of groove. Tech slam would be brutal but you don't want too much slam. Nor do you want too much tech. |
|
|
i'm gonna need a line graph representing the proper proportions necessary for adequate tech to slam ratios
kthx |
|
|
good luck with grad school dude |
|
|
If this thread never ends then Nick never officially quits Dysentery.
