Well, got a call today and it looks like I've been accepted on an Msc (masters) course in computing. Being unemployed after quitting CoF and after having spent a few good years away from my previous job I thought it time to get reacquanted and learn to do it properly...

After a few months of stress and not knowing what to do thiis happening is a good thing as I've been a bit lost since deciding that the band was no good for me.

Also maybe this time I'll put more work in than i did for my undergraduate degree and realise my potential properly instead of becoming an expert in bar locations...

. When did you quit CoF?

Best of luck to you James!
I dont think I could be in a band like CoF, and tour everywhere and anywhere. I can imagine it being much harder work than everybody thinks, and I bet it takes its toll as well, especially on the body!

Well done mate, where are you doing your MSc?

All the best may your future be very bright

Halfway through June, although they didn't announce it (and even then not properly) untill August.

Right next to where I live in Greenwich London, so it'll be convenient to get to

Well, I hope everything goes well for you.

Hey, congratulations for the acceptance. It's surprising news that you quit CoF, but I am sure you know what's best for you. Must have been cool to experience the big time rock life for a while though.

CoF was fun untill the end, and i got tired of my position and the crap that came with it and didn't like it, so out of principle I quit. Basically I'd always said I'd stop once the fun was gone, so i did

Doesn't mean I won't be doing anything else though, studying does hopefully leave me some time to write music as well

What about your endorsement deal with Ibanez will that be affected in anyway?

no. the deal was between me and ibanez, not between CoF and ibanez, I spoke with them and they are keeping me on, also there should be some new music at some point, so it's not like i'm quitting

the.godfather · #14 09-03-2005, 06:16 PM

Glad to hear it!
If and when you do get time, what sort of stuff do you think you would be recording? Would it be in the metal genre again.....or something different?

Thats good, glad to here just because your temporarily on the bench that Ibanez isn't throwing you off the team.
