As I Lay Dying's Tim Lambesis Explains Major Lineup Change 

It is truly sad how everything went down.

This didn’t age well 😭😭

Why didn’t it age well exactly? Not much has changed since I posted it. Og members are still gone and nothing new has come out since the return album to judge wether they’re still good or not with new members

Phil and Tim are the most important members being they wrote all yhe music. It's once one of them leaves will this band be dead

They’re already dead without Jordan as far as I’m concerned…

Luckily Tim has a lot of experience with incarceration

it really do be a new band from here on out

There ya go!

It's just not AILD without Josh though.

Was thinking the same thing. Excited to see what they put out!

Man I was at the Fort Smith show and it just wasn’t the same

They need someone with the grit in their voice to capture josh's vocals

Dude Tim has controlled pretty much every aspect of that band since day one. Lol it's literally Tim's band.

Meh. Clint Norris did amazing for AILD in their first two albums. Gilbert will be missed, but he's replaceable. So are Hipa and Mancino if I'm honest. As long as Sgrosso at the very least remains, I don't think AILD will change that much at its core.

@@illusionistbeamish4204 he also tried to pay to have his wife murdered so he's probably not the best person to be in a band with anymore lmao.

Me too. One of my favorite all time metalcore bands.

yes. this ....... chelsea grin anyone ?

Tim is AILD. I don't care for any other members. Even Josh. I generally hate whiny vocals in Metalcore.

@@sermilion_audio Eh I wouldn't really say Tim is AILD. For me the band has always been about the riffs. They were an absolute riff factory at one point.

Jordan is irreplaceable. Can someone else play his music? I sure but it will never sound/feel the same. I loved NP in Unearth and he is super talented but I saw AILD with him instead of Jordan and wanted to throw up in my mouth the whole show. He’s great but he’s not Jordan…

Andddddddddd Tim is responsible for 80% of the rifs that came from AILD. You can bet your life that not a single note on a guitar made its way to the album without tims stamp of approval. That was the whole problem with the band. Tim could never let anyone play their own instrument and just shut and sing.@@EvolutionIX219

Whos in AILD now?

@@skundini4999 Ryan from Miss May I and two guys from Unearth, Nick and Ken, but Nick just left Uneath a while ago.

@Monkey Prick I still think about Unearth's performance at Mayhem Fest a decade or so ago and Ken and Buzz mid song went off stage and climbed their bus and started shredding on top of the bus. Those dudes always put on a good show!

@Monkey Prick Nice dude!

Phil (lead guitarist) is still a member, but I wouldn't be surprised if he bails too

I hope not

@@davidnissim589 Phil S. needs to makes a statement.

@@davidnissim589 I’m sure it’s coming soon. Phil’s a trooper, but for how long will it last till he decides to throw in the towel like the other 3 did.

@@davidnissim589 Hipa was the lead. He was replaced by Evan White. Phil's rythm. You can fact check that if you don't believe me.

Yeh maybe because of Tim and something called morality.

Gee I wonder what that problem could be?

I can’t get past that he put a hit out on his wife. Appears the other band members have become fed up with his unapologetic attitude to that which has spilled over to their lack of a collaborative relationship

@@chipchiperson679 Yeah, I agree with you on that! One could hope he was released early because they believed he was rehabilitated and not because of prison over crowding. Whatever the reason, he has some demons to face and that particular action will follow him the rest of his life. During the show, he paused to thank everyone for still allowing him to do what he loves. Let's hope that he was being sincere and that it means he was rehabilitated. I also agree with you on the band members. When this all took place, they tried to move on with Wovenwar since Tim was a founding member of AILD. Well, we all know that didn't go well in the end. It just wasn't the same band. I think all of this turmoil is the after effect of the decisions he made. Let's face it, good musicians are everywhere. the chemistry from a select group of musicians are not. I know this contradicts a bit of what I said in the original post but I thought about that more after making it. I guess we'll all see where this goes...

@@Hippo007 I think they wanted to recapture the nostalgia they had with AILD Turning a blind eye to Tim pleading guilty to attempted murder thinking he was in some way innocent. Four years is a long time to be apart and their side project band wasn’t succeeding without having Tim as their frontman So they selfishly reformed AILD to regain the fame and money that was lost while Tim was in prison. It gradually occurred to them that Tim is not a good person as his dark personality traits were resurfacing And isn’t innocent of anything which strained their conscience and made them want to leave. I was and still am a huge AILD fan But I’d be a huge hypocrite to support a guy who tried to kill his wife by going to their live concert which is occurring tonight in my city. I had every intention of going leading up to it until today when I realized the reality of what I was about to see. I think these guys felt the same as it took them a while to have all that sink in.

Might have something to do with Tim being a psychopath

This

😂

Lol

Only real og’s know ZAO exists

@@jasondoolin6476 absolutely 97 - 2002 were glorious years for underground metalcore

@@jeromesimon8916 with the formation of underoath.. holy crap the hype in middle school

You mean the album that fans already paid for?

Especially when he hired a hit man to kill his wife. Appears these guys finally came to the realization on how fk’d up it is to be around somebody like that who still hasn’t provided any real justification of doing that

I wanted to like Wovenwar but the music wasn’t as intense and Shane’s vocals are ass…

Nope, not without Jordan it isn’t.

Huh? You posted this minutes after this video aired. What did you expect 😂

Absolutely. Totally agree. And I think anyone who thinks differently is insane.

@@tylersmith9868 I was one of those fulls, specially after the lyrics and the heart to heart they had back in 2018 I think. I mean once Hippa jumped out, I knew something was wrong, meanly because he seemed to be the most affected one when all the Tim/wife situation unfold back in 2013.

To me I don’t care if he was on drugs or whatever that’s like saying for a drunk driver.. but when you cross the line of harming your wife with her kids.. that’s the level where he should’ve put in jail for 50years of attempted murder even if he hire a hitman I still still feel so strong bout it. I understand he serve his time but I just you can’t forgive a person like that!! You can’t.

I agree. Tim is a POS

Pretty sure Hippa let on that Tim was still the same egomaniac as just before he went inside.

I wouldnt say ryan neff is a good fill in. He cant actually sing and butchers live

@@fupaking7717 haven’t seen them live in so long. Couldn’t even tell you …

Nick is still running Brick By Brick I believe.

How do you know who did and did not make money with music?

It would seem he probably doesn't own the band because he NEEDS them to participate at least on a "business" level (as stated in his press statement) in regard to royalties and merch etc (if he owned the band outright their continued involvement would be unnecessary for him), but they can't deal with him so they have walked away from it all and got lawyers to do the business of the band.

@@somewhatsomething4882 probably right. After all, Jordan did say he expects a pay out

@@somewhatsomething4882 😂😂😂 He would not be able to do a lot of things he is doing if the guys were sooo much in the business like you are saying. If josh want a pay out, he will have to sue for that. Same shit with Fear Factory and Dino Cazares. Dude invested so much in the band that the other guys including burton had no power. Burton lost all his money fighting for money that didn’t belong to him. I’ll tell you, Josh won’t sue because he won’t make money, so that’s what they do, they try to create those situations so they can get a payout. Simple as that. Tim Lambesis have so much ownership that he didn’t not allowed the band to keep going with another singer. And they didn’t do anything without him and formed a new band. The new band didn’t work, specially because of the lack of investment. Tim make a lot of money and before going to jail he had several business going on. You guys think this bands go on tour or studio paid by the label? When they do so, they become slaves of their label. In case of AILD Tim lambesis invested so they didn’t have to get a loan with the bank or label. Doing so you gain power into the business and at some point you end up taking it over. Specially if you do the songwriting.

Of course Tim makes it sound like he and Phil write everything when he and Phil are all that’s left. Tim’s an egoistical douche. I hope Phil leaves and Tim’s career dies while the rest move on to success.

Nah he should quit music and become a televangelist. And I fully believe this will happen at some point... 😈

The cash-cow that I've just asked says: "Nope, he will never ever rename the band".

Or with a partner.

Why? That band was so damn boring 😴

@@LRM5195 Fact is that Wovenwars debut album is a Masterpiece. Consistency would have made them huge!

@@PapiSensei331 I couldn’t have been more bored with that first album. The second one had some tolerable songs but my god the vocalist is so generic sounding.

I wish Wovenwar would get a proper metal vocalist. Shane sucks ass. Drags down what little energy there was in the music.

Bro 94 hours is not that hard to play.

I was slightly comforted by it being Nick Pierce filling in for Jordan before I last saw them but was horribly disappointed at the show. Knowing this songs so well as Jordan plays them, I could hear everything that was off. Wrong fills, wrong accents and just touches the kit in a completely different way. No knock on Nick he’s phenomenal but he’s not Jordan and doesn’t sound like Jordan. I won’t be going to another live AILD show without Jordan.

Yeah Phil should bail too and work on his side project that looks to have potential.

He owns the name. Why wouldn’t he?
