I quit Spinefed a couple hours ago. It was a relatively painless thing, I had been planning on it for weeks now. I didn't think it would go as easily as it did. It was quite a learning experience while it lasted, though. I got to play my first live gig with Spinefed. I got to experience losing band members. Looking for band members. Kicking out band members. I got to experience the feeling of having fans. People who come to our shows, to see us. People I don't know, but know who I am. People who ask for my autograph. My autograph. I got to experience opening for some of my favorite bands of all time. Soilwork. Hypocrisy. In Flames. But I also learned that you can lose interest if you don't put effort into staying interested. And I have lost all interest in Spinefed. I had a great time the past couple of years. I learned a lot, and made a lot of new friends. I am going down a different path now, and hopefully it will be just as rewarding as it was with Spinefed.
There's many things that I plan to do in the year of 2003, and this was only one of them. There are many more changes to come.
Oh yeah... may I add that Tool's "Ænima" is an excellent album... One of the best I've heard in a long time. I never really listened to Tool before. I used to write them off because they were too "popular", but I really don't give a shit anymore. If I like a band's music, I'll listen to them regardless of popularity. Some bands are immensely popular for a reason... like the fact that they write good music.
