wow. i didn't really expect something like that to happen :wth: hehe i like seeing Chevelle. Last time i saw them, they took a big box, a BOX of pics and threw them out in the crowd! hehe it was great! i love getting stuff at concerts
Apparently, Joe is actually out of the band for good. Shortly after the news was posted on Chevelle's official website, Joe posted on the messageboard that Pete basically kicked him out. The Chevelle website subsequently went offline for several hours afterward, and once it came back, their messageboard had mysteriously disappeared. I guess Pete and Sam are being major assholes about it and not wanting people to know what's really going on. More info here.
Pete and Sam are not the assholes in that band, it is Joe... personally, it's no surprise. I guess the only way you can be surprised is if you think that just because they're all brothers that they'll let him stay in. The guy's a prick.
I dunno, I've heard stories from several people who had less-than-pleasant experiences with meeting them, Pete in particular.

[/b][/quote] I've never heard anything about Pete or Sam being jerks... but everyone I know who has met them has said Joe is the biggest jerk you'll ever meet. And, I do mean literally everyone I know who's met them. He's got an ego bigger than anyone in the industry's, and he's just a jerk, plain and simple. He doesn't care if he makes people feel bad, cry, or anything. If you don't believe me, just meet the guy sometime (if he ever gets back in Chevelle or starts his own band). He can try to act like it's all Sam and Pete being jerks all he wants, but anyone who's met the band knows the truth... Pete and Sam probably just got tired of Joe's crap (to everyone -- the band, their manager, their fans, etc). Sorry if anyone likes him, but I just can't stand the guy. I don't think I've met someone so rude in my entire life.
I'm sure it isn't. Sam and Pete don't seem to be having problems, so they'll probably continue with a new bassist.

This fucking sucks. I mean, if the asshole is gone, then fine, he's gone. But how many times have you seen crap like this and the band is done forever? Many. And I know about Joe being a dick. My friends met them, and basically hate them now.
Source: Chevelle's official site Whether or not this will be a setback for Chevelle will remain to be seen. I'm guessing if the band was comprised of three brothers it will be hard to fill that hole with someone else.
I'm a bassist, maybe i'll join Chevelle I seriously wouldn't want to join a band in that situation though.
