Trivium is young, up and coming and can renew any situation they're in because they have charisma and fight left in them. I can understand how you feel though. When you're young the world ends over little things but once you grow up dude you have no choice but to deal with it and try to survive. The best thing you could ever do to be a true Trivium fan is to never give up by letting your emotions get in the way. Support these guys because they work hard to give us something other bands do not and one day they won't be there and neither will you so enjoy what you have and what you obtain b/c you never know which day will be your last. Enjoy your favorite bands dude, bad things happen alot, don't take one single thing for granted. Besides, I saw the new drummer, Nick, just over one week ago and he is good enough to keep up and he'll get better with practice. Don't give up dude!

Because telling you to support a band regardless of members changes = a douche.

And whatever happens with Travis, best of luck with him. He's a really talented guy and the only member thats been in trivium since the early stages, so my respects go to him for the dedication.

I agree, I love the members, but I mean, to call someone a douche for telling you to support a band no matter what, that is a bit hypocritical isn't it? ;p

Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but I agree with you though.

@Jer: what i gathered from it and correct me if im wrong is that he is saying it doesnt matter if travis leaves,and that the only person that would have a profound effect if he left would be matt and none of the other members

but believe you me i've nothing against nick in fact i liked his stuff with metal militia
but thats just from what i gathered from that extremely long nearly unreadable message

Yea, for the most part he did say that, though I don't agree with it.. because after all, Everyone in the band writes songs as it is, the sound isn't Matt alone, but I also understand where he is coming from, as far as the "support the band, regardless of the members" thing.

@Jer: aye suppose that is true too

and i aye i get him alright when he says that because mainly its true for most members of TW if not all them
