Blabbermouthより。John5のバンド、Loserはどうやらシングル発売前に活動停止となりそうです。
（ジョンはRob Zombieのツアーに参加するため）やっぱり、もっと前向きなバンド名(Loser=負け犬)をつけるべきでしたね。
| Former MARILYN MANSON Guitarist JOHN 5 Leaves LOSER To Focus On ROB ZOMBIE Island Records made the decision to drop the band LOSER when founding member John 5 (ex-MARILYN MANSON) opted to leave the group and maintain his position as the guitarist for ROB ZOMBIE. “Being the founding member of LOSER, my decision to leave was not an easy one,” said John 5 in a press release. “I’ve been juggling two careers both with LOSER and ROB ZOMBIE for over one year now. I found it impossible to be in two places at once.” With the success of ROB ZOMBIE’s “Educated Horses” 2006 tour and the new dates added to the trek, it became impossible for John 5 to promote LOSER properly. In discussions with Island, John 5 suggested bringing in a replacement guitarist for LOSER’s live shows. Island Records was in opposition to the suggestion as that is not “what they had signed on for.” Consequently, Island Records chose to drop the act. “I understand the decision from the label but feel it could have worked out for everyone involved,” John 5 said. “I wish Joe, Glen and Charles all the success they deserve. They are amazing guys and deserve their shot.” source |
ロブ・ゾンビの長期ツアーに伴い、LOSERとしての活動が不可能に陥ったジョンに対して、レーベル側が「契約不履行」でサインを取り消したそうです。見通しが甘かったな・・・。
