"3 good bands which split up recently"

Evanescence - Ben Moody just randomly walked out on the band and without him the band are pretty screwed coz their pianist left a while ago and they still dont actually hav a bass player!

Audioslave - Sine Tom Morello has been off doing his 'Nightwatchman' thing, the band have pretty much fallen apart over the last few months.

Reef - Dont know the details but the band have officially split.


Slipknot are also due to split after the release of their 4th album.

Yeah, you tell that to the producers of the guitar mag i got most of that from. Mates.

Ben Moody left at November last year... then dates for May were announced last month.

Slipknot have a tour in America after their Download appearance.

I never actually sed that they split, but without Moody theyre just and singer and a drummer, so they might aswell just start a new band. And as for the album and tour dates, like i sed, Ben Moody just randomly walked out on them so the gigs were obviously already planned. What a git...

No, luckily cuahgt them last year at Reading though. Babar Luck (Bassist I think?) is going on tour with Graveltrap, Sonic Boom Six and some others I think (I forget) for the MoonSka Tour (called Launch Pad Tour or something I think), so that should be interesting. Also, Lightyear split which is a shame. I never got round to getting either of their albums, but they had a great reputation for their live shows. Unfortunately didn't catch their unofficial set in the Reading campsite... no-one knew where / when it was going to be... :(

just borrow dave grohl again, its not as if he isn't a one man band! lol

Ah, Audioslave may not split, because they have a second album coming out this year. Apparently its very different to the first one, so you never know, might be worth a listen. And Slipknot will definitly split after their last gig, which will be the Download festival at Donnington in June.
