Why saosin kicks out cove

Fans perpetually wondered about his Mormon faith, and Cove was seen on his tour bus with a set of scriptures in backstage band videos. Though not a spokesman for the church, Cove seemed always self-aware of his clean reputation amongst fans.

In July of , after six years of recording albums and touring, Saosin announced that Cove would no longer be singing with the band. This came as a shock to Cove-lovers and a relief to Green-lovers, but not surprising to Cove himself. Apparently, the pressure and adversity had begun to wear down on him, and fans began complaining about a decline in his live performances.

This criticism began trickling into the band itself, and Cove had found himself the target of pointed comments from the very band he had so idolized in his youth.

He expressed later that he knew his time with Saosin was soon coming to a close, and this seemed to make him more downtrodden than ever. The blows to his confidence, the primary ingredient for any front-man and lead singer, turned into a negative feedback loop. From the note:. A buzz of speculation followed the note, and fans furiously and energetically typed out frenzied message board and YouTube discussions to try to find explanations for the move.

Was Cove fired or did he quit? If he was fired, what for? Was it the dreadlocks? Was Anthony Green coming back? What was Cove going to do now? Some speculated that Saosin was about to break up completely. Others wondered if Cove was fired for not smoking weed with the rest of the band. Justin Shekoski, the other guitar player in Saosin, responded to this last suggestion with a flippant and insensitive gesture on the official message board:.

We kicked cove out of the band because his stage performance and vocal performances were on a downward spiral. We are not on a record label! This must be a joke. He was the only member of Saosin that smokes cigarettes, religiously. Free will. Either way you can smoke as much as you want for all I care, just as long as your voice sounds great.

It showed what everyone had suspected all along: there was a significant amount of tension between Cove and the band over his performances, energy, and stamina. Justin may not have realized the awkward position he was putting Cove in, but the damage was done. Actually, pretty well. Either way you can smoke as much as you want for all I care, just as long as your voice sounds great.

I think now more than ever people need to communicate with one another.

Like actually communicate. Put down the phone and look someone in the eyes. If you look hard enough. Have you begun writing anything yet? We most definitely have a follow up ready to be recorded.

I cannot wait to share all of the new material with everyone. Discussion in ' Other Music ' started by Nick , Aug 21, Log in or Sign up. LP Association Forums.

Saosin Beau, Justin, Alex and Chris have let Cove go due to deterioration of stage presence and vocal ability on stage these past few years. Most of the fans will agree with this.

Saosin is off the big label too, so they are going to release an EP down the road when they find a new singer.

Justin stated that Cove let cigarettes get to his voice as comparing Cove warming up for a show to Justin slamming his hands against a brick wall before playing guitar.
