It's actually true

Sadly, rock and roll goes through a lot of changes. And after all, Mike is the founder of the band, and has 25 years of playing with them behind him. I know that it sucks, and I'm not happy about the news myself. It simply is the way that it goes.

I just hope he rejoins later, he was a BIG force behind DT's success.

Reunions are a big thing in music, so imagine that he probably will somewhere down the road.

Hmm that's interesting. I'm glad I was able to see them this summer. They were good, but they weren't as fire-y as I had hoped it would be...maybe that was why.
