"Shadows are security" helped me through some shiz back in the day...

[@_fat_thor_]

And people laughed at me saying that "Tim has changed, I was crazy for understanding Ryan's point of view." Think about it from the perspective of those who have to be in their shoes, knowing what their band leader is capable of doing. You're constantly in a never ending vicious cycle of struggle, not being able to be yourself, contribute to the music, afraid to speak up about how you feel, out of fear of "rocking the boat." It's not just about whether or not you can play the music, or contribute to the band, it's also down to who your band members are, how you are with them while touring. Being in that environment is like being in a constant state of stress, when you can't communicate with your band leader, you just suppress your emotions, it just siphons any enjoyment out of being in that band. Tim is very controlling, manipulative, he has not changed at all. This current update proves what I've been trying to explain. Tim had a second chance here, third chance if you can't the reunion of the og line up. Tim has had plenty of chances to prove himself.

[@WankFrest]

[@DarknessessB11]

One of my favorite bands as a teen. Saw them in 06 live. I got Shadows are security skull tatted on my left shoulder. Once I heard what Tim had attempted to do. I lost all respect form him and stopped following the band for good. I completely understand why the other guys left and why they continue to leave. It's unfortunate for the other musicians because this puts a dent on their ability to make a living. I feel pretty comfy for not paying much attention upon the bands return as I had a gut feeling things would go South.

[@AlexIan8854]

Same here - I was obsessed with them in high school (early-to-mid 00's) and even into university, but as soon as the murder for hire stuff went down I immediately disengaged and couldn't fathom why anyone would give Tim the attention he desperately craves...

[@denniskielton2447]

Based on the Pasta show comments, sounds like the band members were right. Sorry, but singers LOVE to try to call shots and screw things up, especially when they have zero musical experience, they want to make the song "theirs" as if the role of the other musicians is to produce THEM a song instead of making a full band song, and everyone putting their piece in. it's so common, we call it "lead singer syndrome" or "frontman syndrome." I've loved this band since I was a kid 96 Hours is a straight up classic, I was SO excited to hear about the come back. I don't care about drama usually so I didn't even hear about their signer being arrested before. But it sounds like, as unfortunate as it is, that the singer is screwing things up. Same thing happened to Emmure, except those guys were VERY vocal on what a piece of trash that vocalist is.

[@forcedentry2010]

I can understand Phil waiting before leaving. He has the most to lose than the rest of them when it comes to financial status since he's been there the longest. I can't fault him for trying to make sure his family is taken care of. Must be some pretty bad shit if everyone is leaving before an album release and a tour coming up.

The common denominator in all of the issues this band has had with keeping members is Tim.

Ego’s and money have ruined a lot of phenomenal bands.

It'd be like if Ian got out of prison and announced that Lostprophets were getting back together, I would look at them the same way I did and do look at As I Lay Dying, the band was only good before I knew just how big of a POS the lead singer was.

So for now until I hear more about what’s going on if, if I ever do, I’m holding my judgement. I respect their decisions to keep most of it behind closed doors but it does make it hard for the public to really know what is happening in detail. It’s not really our business anyway but for now I do agree it ain’t looking good for Tim.

[@zanewalters5606]

My guess is this is an Axl Rose-esque situation. With revenue for bands ever shrinking, TL probably wanted sole rights for anything AILD with the rest of the members being considered hired talent and only entitled smaller touring and session fees. It could also be that TL is only sorry he got caught and everyone is starting to see that. To me, his body language always made me believe his apologies were insincere. Just my opinion.

I don't have access to their later music after 2012 on Tidal now. Not sure what's going on. I have access to songs released in 2024, but nothing from 2013-2023.
