Eis que John posta de novo:
Missing Blog....
Current mood: accomplished
Just to let you know, I pulled down the very personal blog about my departure from Evanescence. I felt that I said what I had to say and the response was very much the same among everyone who read it. I feel beyond those very strong feelings now and am ready to move past them. Now I am all about Machina and persuing that without bitterness or hurt in my heart. EV was what it was, a stepping stone. A very large stepping stone that I truly appreciate and will always hold close to my heart. I will never play down the importance of it in my life or the lives of my friends and family. It is a piece of history that I got to be involved in and will remember forever. I choose to remember the good things about it rather than a negative perspective of a disgruntled former member. So, all that is said...let\'s move on and rock out with our cock out to MACHINA!!! Ready, Set....GO!!!

Thad speaks...

(...and you\'re a better person for having listened, or not.)
The main purpose of this blog is to thank everyone for their amazing support these past few days. And "amazing" is an understatement. We\'ve all been left speechless by the amount of positive responses and support we\'ve received from you, the fans, old and new. And it\'s causing us to work that much harder to make this new beast we call Machina a successful reality.
I\'ve also been affected by the recent events that have taken place in Evanescence. I was their guitar tech (sometimes bass tech too) since the first tour bus left Will Boyd\'s house on Feb. 18th, 2003 (yeah, I\'ve been cursed/blessed with a good memory). I\'ve seen nearly every up and down this band has gone through firsthand. All the controversy, milestones, crew members, firings, etc., I could write a book called "My Adventures in Evanescence" and it would be a best-seller and I\'d make millions...ok, maybe thousands. But I\'m not going to. I\'m not going to write a tell-all blog either, or start a live journal about all the fights and triumphs and crazy backstage antics. I never have, and out of respect for John, Rocky, Ben, Will and Tim, I never will (However, if they ever write a book I\'ll be more than happy to contribute an appendix section).
I\'ll admit that the recent ill-informed comments by David Hodges almost forced my hand. But my instincts tell me not to, and my instincts are usually right. I respect the fact that Mr. Hodges was a founding member, but he needs to be reminded that success in the music game does not always begin and end with the writing/recording process.
I know alot of you still may be frustrated because no one has come out and told the whole story. But when you have lawsuits and contractual agreements hanging over your head, it\'s sometimes best to play it as safe as possible. In American courts, whether you\'re in the right or not, the legal process can be a long, drawn-out (and expensive) experience. So it\'s best to avoid it if you can. Know that what you\'ve been told so far by John and Rocky is the truth, and they wish they could tell you more. And any fans who may have had their feelings hurt along the way, it was not intentional. Feelings have been hurt by pretty much everyone involved in this situation, and harsh words have been said as a result. It\'s sort of like a nasty divorce, and anyone who has experienced that knows exactly what I\'m talking about.
The best thing that\'s come out of all of this is you guys. You\'re incredible. And your support has not been in vain. We\'ve been rehearsing all week, and I might post a video sample of a rehearsal later on. It\'s hard to get good sound on my tiny camera when it\'s in a room full of bonecrushing METAL.

Anyway, thanks to all of you, especially the new Machina groups...MachinaSpain, Machina Fans UK, and of course Machina Fans Official!
You stay classy, San Diego. I\'m Ron Burgundy?
