Bassist Scott Sorry Quits Amen

Bassist Scott Sorry is the latest Amen member to announce his departure from the group. Sorry's official statement on the matter is as follows:

"O.K. bitches here is the deal. I have decided to leave Amen.

"The first person I met when I joined AMEN was Matty [former Amen guitarist Matt Montgomery]. He, [former Amen guitarist] Rich [Jones], [ex-Amen drummer] Luke [Johnson], and even Poochy, became my family. I love them all dearly and we spent a lot of time in the trenches together. They are my best friends and the only family I knew for two years.

"Staying in Amen would be like staying in a band only for the money without them. They are my brothers and I don't give a fuck about money.

"I, for the most part, had a great time in Amen. I will not lie about that. But life has taken me in a direction in which I cannot afford to play in Amen anymore. I have to be responsible for more than myself now. Yes, Scott Sorry is even trying to be sober now!

"Anyway, those of you that I have got to know over the last two years know that I cherish your friendship and hope you will not judge me illy for my decision. For those of you that I don't know, I am sure that the new line-up is a swell bunch of lads and you will get along fine with them. My time is done, however. And I am the coolest, so it is your own fault for waiting so long to give a fuck!

"Anyway, as the sun sets slowly in the west I bid you a fond farewell. . Scott Sorry is dead, motherfuckers, but this is not the last time you will hear from me! I am now Scott Smoker and fuck y'all that want a piece..."

Amen Guitarist Quits, Calls Casey Chaos A Fraud

Amen guitarist Matt Montgomery has quit the band, branding the group's leader Casey Chaos "a fraud."

In a statement posted at the Metal Hammer web site, Matt writes, "If I joined Amen to be famous or be a 'rock star', I joined for the wrong reasons. I joined it purely for an intense love and passion for what Casey Chaos led me to believe he stood for.

"I had two Amen tattoos before I joined, and moved myself to L.A. to join one of my favorite bands. Now after 2 long years I can say I've had enough and learned a hard lesson.

"I've made a lot of friends and had some great experiences which I'm grateful for. However, living on just under 2800 dollars (that is my full take-home pay) from over two years has put me in extreme debt, and caused so many problems for me. All that was ever asked from the band was a band agreement that would split any profits from gigs and merch evenly so we could survive. That was apparently too much to ask.

"But the most heartbreaking reason for leaving is the realization that Casey is a fraud. The promises of band solidarity were nothing more than lies. Myself, and previous members all played with the band because we believed in Amen and its message. I now know why there have been so many members in this band.

"Thanks to all who helped us get through the last 2 years. And a huge thanks to the fans that are so open minded and die hard. I wish I could say I was still one of you."
