Steviekick 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2003 from blabbermouth.net .... SOULFLY: The Tribe Goes Bust - Sep. 22, 2003 SOULFLY mainman Max Cavalera has officially parted ways with the rest of his band — bassist Marcello D. Rapp, drummer Roy Mayorga, and guitarist Mike Doling. According to informed sources, the mass exodus was prompted by the firing of Rapp by Max and SOULFLY manager Gloria Cavalera (Max's wife), which in turn led Mayorga and Doling to quit in protest. Cavalera is said have already launched a search for replacement musicians with a view towards beginning work on the band's fourth album, tentatively due next summer through Roadrunner Records. It is not presently clear if SOULFLY's previously announced live appearances at the end of September — including Thursday's (September 25) gig at the Whiskey A-Go Go in Hollywood, California and Saturday's (September 27) appearance at the D-Low (Dana Wells) Memorial Show in Tempe, Arizona — will go ahead as scheduled or if they will be completely scrapped. ----- This sounds like total and utter craziness. Their drummer Roy is amazing and made seeing them live really good. It's so odd that Rapp was fired, since Max has known him for a long time; he was a bass tech for Sepultura. I wonder what kind of replacements will be made to the band. You would like to think that Max and Sepultura would have enough sense to go for a reunion tour or something....it'll take Max a while to put out a decent enough lineup to record an album/tour to support it, and despite all Derrick Green's improved vocals, "Roorback" wasn't that good of an album.

Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted September 23, 2003 I am convinced Max's wife is an incredibly controlling bitch. Max may be too, but I give him the benefit of the doubt because he's one of the few guys I respect in the metal community despite Soulfly sucking fairly fiercely. But yeah, how many members has he went through with this band now?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted September 23, 2003 Why is that the whole band leaves and one guy stays...How come it's that ONE GUY that's still "the band"? Personally, If your band dies...Kill the name. LOA tried that after Caputo said fuck off to roadrunner and failed... Personally, if your band leaves you, Keeping the band name isn't fair.
