Issues talks DEATH of the band, final shows and the band's legacy!

[@kylelandry7018]

Heart broken all the farewell shows were so far away from where I live. Ive seen Issues 7 times, met the guys multiple times, every single time the shows were unbelievable and they were as nice as always. First time I ever saw them was in a tiny shack in Metairie, Louisiana. They had so few songs they had to perform their cover of boyfriend. First and only show I've ever been to where people literally hung from the rafters. They talk to anyone who was interested in speaking to them for nearly an hour after the show behind the venue. Remember a few years ago sky tweeted out that it was his favorite show he had ever played, that made it even more special. Going to miss these guys so fucking much and it sucks that this sound simply won't exist anymore.

The Home Team vocalist can take over.. please keep making music 😢

[@seanmundyphoto]

for reaaaal, even if it's just a studio project it would be so sick

[@jcloudy8508]

The only band I know who meticulously dismantled their own group one member at a time with each album release 😭

[@JohnDoe-mv2be]

They kicked Tyler to the curb before he even had a chance to defend himself. I'm sure none of them had the decency to let him know he was out he probably found out via Twitter.

[@resealed]

@@JohnDoe-mv2bethe man did some awful shit dude. Tyler even owned up to the awful shit. It wasn’t just random my guy

[@Beselfishprettyplease]

Issues hands down invented heavy pop. Here’s some bands who picked up where they left off. If anyone’s interested in hearing them: 1.) RUMORS - “Exotic” 2.) VRSTY- “Shameless” 3.) INDIGHXST - “Pyromance” 4.) DON VEDDA - “Invincible” 5.) NIGHTLIFE - “New Low” 6.) PALOMA - “2AM” 7.) NERV - “Bad Habits” 8.) HONEY REVENGE - “Airhead” 9.) NEVERTEL - “Back On Me” 10.) TRACELESS - “Obsession” Bonus: FLOYA - “The Hymm”

[@InkAndPoet]

What about Brian's band The Home Team?

[@itsCurtisAvila]

@@InkAndPoet people know about The Home Team. So I went ahead and listed off bands that are more unfamiliar. Check out these songs. RUMORS - “Exotic” VRSTY- “Shameless” INDIGHXST - “Pyromance” DON VEDDA - “Invincible” NIGHTLIFE - “New Low”

[@itsCurtisAvila]

@@InkAndPoet I think people know about The Home Team. The bands listed above are criminally underrated. Let me know what you think of them.

[@InkAndPoet]

@@itsCurtisAvila i was already aware of VRSTY and Nightlife. Both are pretty good. I see how the others could be classified as Heavy Pop.

[@alexgr666n]

I'd add SHELIA to this list

[@calebutterback8528]

All I've ever wanted is AJ to put his insane guitars skills to use in a heavy project. I gotta hear this music he's sitting on.

[@JohnDoe-mv2be]

He's in bad Wolves and the new single is their best material by FAR. Djenty, bouncy af, plenty of screams from AJ.

[@calebutterback8528]

@@JohnDoe-mv2be wait... Bad wolves like the band that covered that zombie song by the cranberries??? First of all, you blew my mind I had no idea. Second, that isn't what I mean when I say heavy. I want a heavy project from AJ with zero singing something like Varials, Boundaries, Knocked Loose, Kublai Khan TX, a true hardcore band with nothing but nasty riffs.

[@thelastsith2706]

@@calebutterback8528i think to John Doe, Bad Wolves is heavy😂

[@deweydewyea4512]

Been a fan of Issues for a long time! Having Josh, on drums for Bilmuri's, Goblin Hours tour, was absolutely epic!

[@Beaumo66]

was happy to see them all come back.. Including Michael :D makes sense why he'd come back and lay down some vocals live. but this feels end of an Era indeed. Issues have always been a band for me, a huge band.. I knew after the long break and seeing all of them do their own thing.. we were not getting anything new from Issues for a bit but didn't expect a breakup. what a run though and proud of all of them expanding their careers :)

[@roainwolf997]

I had that mudvayne shirt back in the early 2000s and I remember sky wearing that shirt at warped tour san antonio when I met him awesome dude.....

[@dreaminginnoother]

Man, I love all these guys. I really hope they keep making stuff.

[@josevillarreal8544]

Wait so we’re getting an Issues live album!?

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

I hope they fix up Bohn’s vocals. They weren’t good at all, sounded like years of wrong technique caused a lot of damage, that voice is jacked up

[@NDSIser]

@@PigglyWigglyDeluxehe sounds pretty good live with woe is me now and his studio vocals are way better than they were with issues so it might’ve just been him trying to emulate the way he used to sound coz his screams overall are much lower now

[@BoneFlamingo]

I got aj and and Josh's signature at the last warped in Atlanta. Never got a chance to see them live. Shame on me. Side note I started listening to them in 2014. Stingray Afliction was the song. Been hooked ever since. I'm gonna miss them. Damn how time flies.

[@bumquack2461]

They seem like the most wonderful people to work with

[@gonzalosaavedraalban]

I saw them live in Santiago, Chile, south AMerica and the energy was ON TOP. It was such a light show, Sad that they end

[@davidwalsma-gibbs1200]

AJ with that sweet sweet Nightlife merch

[@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa669]

Damn the last song and its the best. This band without the drama members are incredible. Who won the war issues vs woeisme no one.

[@circawut]

skyler was right about the home team. just discovered them and i am obsessed!!

[@jlinds1703]

Is Josh wearing a Brakence hoodie???!!

[@JayRadda]

hes so real for that

[@aubreymaebesa22]

Assuming Tyler Carter happy for this.💯🔥

[@jacobemerson4749]

He is! I stumbled on a Livestream of his and he was super pumped that all this is going down.

[@GLUTENX]

i remember my band at the time was supposed to open for issues back when they had just released the black diamonds ep. Everyone was super nice, Casey was even a gem back before Josh lol. Tyler was the only weirdo and im glad everything went down the way it did. ya'll deserved to have closure with these shows and im very glad it was able to happen!

[@ozzyalbor8292]

out of all the members i NEED more AJ music!!!!!!!! ill start believing in god if it comes out!

[@JayRadda]

the brakence hoodie goes so hard

[@joaniepeters2565]

Yea dude.. he killed that song, the bass line and vocal melody were completely juxtaposed. Its like he was running in 2 different directions at the same time

[@192palmforest]

AJ is a unit.

[@whatwhothatthe]

ayo is that a brakence hoodie on josh

[@ThisIsTommyT]

@12:40 that band belmuri is certainly attempting😊

[@dylanwallace763]

Idk Tyler Carter Personally, idk how he was to work with as a band member. But when they kicked him out this band was dead. It’s really hard to top him as a vocalist. Regardless of the bullshit. Tyler Carter was this band.

[@elijahwhipple8031]

I mean he did start the band and kinda created the sound before any of these guys were in the band.

[@DjentyB]

That's not giving the rest of the band enough credit, the instrumental version of Beautiful Oblivion is so good, and there are so many singers that would fit the band's sound so well

[@mike0near]

I think Brian is very good and he nailed the vocals live..

[@ming12222]

@@mike0near listen to some of his runs , he either butchered them or nailed them

Just say you have no respect for instruments. You’re a fool.

Wait till they hear the new The Words We Use….

[@JaredLand]

I don't understand why they will just give up and part ways but you do you then 4L crew øut. Also they did Tyler Carter dirty pop.

[@JaredLand]

Clearly Issues had Issues 😂 And QUIT 😂

[@tomlangan-n2w]

Honestly Tyler sounded the weakest live when I saw them in 2017. The rest of the band doesn’t get enough credit for just how talented they are especially on beautiful oblivion that album was built on their first instrumentation first in my opinion.

[@dannyaraya8017]

everyone crying about gay ass tyler, the wannabe Jonny Craig Michael was robbed

Nope, Tyler Carter is pedophile

[@jonathanarmstrong1756]

It’s hard for me to fathom that people would have actually preferred Killary* in 2016

[@ming12222]

I find it funny that despite what Tyler Carter did with the controversy, . They just moved on and not continued to make a band and just did their own things . Does that mean if you lose your vocalist that iconic in the music industry, there is financial and musical consequences to this decision ?. If the rest of members didn’t feel that they would have made a new band immediately? Like how rain city drive ( slaves) did when Jonny Craig left and kept going under another name but they didn’t :/ . Instead of making a new band right away , you guys just capitalized the issues name to the ground . Ngl that’s a fucking cuck move bro . And no mention of Tyler Carter like he didn’t exist even though his vocals made people turn their heads to this genre in the first place . Instead of making a new band with a different name you guys just cucked out and joined other bands. Loved issues when the band is together , but I never seen this fallout when the vocalist left and the rest of the band just sucked the all revenue out till you guys had a farewell show . And that’s zero hate on Brian , he did an amazing job , love him in the home team .

[@ProfessorNachos]

They've gone over it so many times that COVID drew them all apart and they pursued other avenues. Tyler being a fuckin weirdo was probably pretty minor in the grand picture. They don't mention Tyler because he doesn't deserve mentioning. The fuck are you so mad about lol

[@ming12222]

@@ProfessorNachos man your reading comprehension is at its all time low lol , read my comment again and come back to me. How long people use covid as an excuse. Covid was over back in 2021 , they had 3 years after that . What they do then ? Cucked out and when to other projects that for the most part they didn’t start and rode issues till it died . I’m mad at that not at the reason why Tyler got kicked out. Are you going to over look at the fact that when Tyler was gone most of the subs were gone ? Or you are ganna say to me there absolutely zero financial and musical consequences when Tyler left the band which he deserved ?

[@ProfessorNachos]

@@ming12222 how did they cuck out lmao sky is playing with twenty one pilots, one of the biggest acts of the past decade, aj is with bad wolves who are playing festivals, Josh is drum tech and touring with large acts. Not financially viable, are you their fucking accountant? If it wasn't financially viable don't you think they would've either brought Tyler back after things died down or tried to get another singer? They don't owe you anything. Be grateful for the music they gave you
