Derek Roddy quits Today is The Day[views:17502][posts:29]________________________________ [Mar 14,2008 7:00pm - zyklon ""] Drummer Derek Roddy (ex-HATE ETERNAL, NILE) has left TODAY IS THE DAY as a result of an apparent financial dispute with the group's mainman Steve Austin. Derek has reportedly been replaced on the band's current tour by Mike Rosswog (CIRCLE OF DEAD CHILDREN, COMPLETE FAILURE). TODAY IS THE DAY's eighth studio album, "Axis of Eden", was released last September on SuperNova Records, the label founded by Steve Austin. SuperNova Records is distributed exclusively by MRI/RED in the U.S., FAB in Canada, Cargo in Europe, and IODA for all digital distribution. . |

| _____________________________________________ [Mar 14,2008 10:37pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] This is retarded. I'm starting to lose respect for Derek Roddy. You can't really expect to make a lot of money playing music, no matter what band you play for. Just play because you like to play. |

Just play because you like to play. try playing professional extreme metal drums for 10+ years, and then all of a sudden get paid zilch. going from barely getting by financially to not at all, all this while touring half of the year. youd quit too. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 14,2008 11:29pm - christopher ""] I like drummers most when they are part of a band and not just a revolving tool. Hellhammer for example can ply for a bazillion bands and what not, but his roots are set with Mayhem, and it's the place where he shines brightest. |

| ______________________________ [Mar 15,2008 12:36pm - SW ""] ya i can understand the whole thing about how long he's been playing and not makin any money thing, but at the same time i mean come on you know that guy is full of himself and thinks he "deserves" so much more. all these fucking drummers who do clinics and have thousands of pictures of them standing behind/in front/beside their kit makes me sick. GO PLAY FOR JOHN MAYER IF YOU WANT MONEY AND NO INTEGRITY!! |
