Ex-bassist keert terug naar Escape The Fate, gitarist stopt ermee

Er gingen de laatste tijd geruchten de ronde dat de tour van Escape The Fate met Five Finger Death Punch niet door zou gaan. Dit is echter niet het geval, zo heeft de band zojuist in een statement laten weten. Wel zijn er een aantal tegenslagen op het pad gekomen, zo zou lead-gitarist Bryan “Monte” Money ‘voor de 100e keer’ weigeren om op tour te gaan. Deze tour zou de band namelijk reizen in een tourbus, hier zou de gitarist het niet mee eens zijn. Dit zorgde ervoor dat Escape The Fate op het laatste moment op zoek moest naar vervanging.

Deze lijkt te zijn gevonden, zo komt ex-bassist Max Green terug bij de band en verruilt huidige bassist TJ zijn basgitaar voor een normale gitaar. Je kunt de statement hieronder in zijn geheel lezen.

hey guys, we know there has been some rumors going around so we wanna clear the air and give it to you the fans straight up, no bullshit or lies, so here it goes…
First and foremost you can be sure that we ARE still doing this five finger death punch tour! so, whats the problem you ask?
well, once again.. for what seems like the 100th time, Monte has refused to tour. he has let us down and left us hangin to find a replacement only a few days before our flights to the first date, this is not the first time we have been stranded without him. we are very upset but still would like to apologize to all of you for his actions. we have been let down just as much as you, the fans, have been let down. Without airing out too much dirty laundry about this (yes, more details will surface very soon) there is something positive coming out of this situation! not only have we found someone more than capable to fill the roll for the road (not a replacement), T.j is going to be moving to rhythm guitar and we are excited to announce that Max Green will be returning to Bass!!! (which would have NEVER been previously possible because someone refused to tour if he was with us) But on a good note, we are all very hyped for this tour and can’t wait to see you all! once again we are very sorry to those of you who are upset about this news but our hands are tied on this one, i guess there’s just never enough drama with this band, but the show still goes on! Thank you for your support.
