You have to be in some state of denial to reduce his place in the band’s legacy to "the fifth drummer"

Yeah he’s been in the set for 75% of the bands existence now, 9 times as long as Dave A or Jack. Yes they can move on with someone else but this is still a huge deal.
It's sad to see this. There is a part of me that would love to see him back with them, and then he self-sabotages like this. It would seem he made his plea to re-join the band on FB a week or so ago. He didn't get a call from the band right away apparently, and now there's this passive aggressive response to that. I loved his drumming with them, and I'm sure the band did too. But no one who plays in a band wants to be in a band with any more difficult personalities unless absolutely necessary. These guys can play with whoever they want. One thing is for certain, their next drummer will be awesome and someone they gel well with musically and personality-wise.
Not sure what he means by the latest accusation of “being erased.”
Same. They’ve released live boots where he was drumming and also play em on Sirius. Not sure what else he’s looking for. He also agreed with the accusation the Ed did something to eff with Brad (the band).
