    Thanks Joe for being so candid and open about your sobriety. I really respect people who get sober and get honest about their life. It seems like you're being really mature about everything. Best of luck to you and your new endeavors. Sobriety can be such a hard thing to maintain. I speak from my own life experience. I had a little bit of success with AA and then slipped back into my old ways over a period of time. I hope your success with sobriety never fades. Much love to you and thanks for all the tunes!

    You are so polite. You just need a sober enviroment without all the temptation of getting a "buzz" again. Sure of your feelings for the members but party party party - been there done that. Good for you!❤🖤 Loved the show in Oberhausen, we travelled from Sweden to see you guys

    • @jramaye5476
      @jramaye5476  5 лет назад +9

      Everyone moved on, they're still a great live act. And the line-up has always changed over the years, which makes it interesting - to hear the songs played different ways by different people. I miss those guys, but also Abbey and Brent and Shaun F and Jon Horton and Mr Petersen and Oumi....etc. A proper reunion gig would have about 20 people onstage.

    I loved Combichrist with Joe, but now I also love Combichrist with Dane and Will, and if Joe wouldn't join Aesthetic Perfection, maybe I wouldn't find that band. So now
    after the separation I just have two bands to love, and I saw both bands live last year, and both were crazy. :)

      @@Headhunter24270 And you do not mind the fact that before they made such music as rhythmic noise? Their style and sound changed over the years and they always tried something new, as now.
      So stop whining already! Not gonna lie, I miss those good days myself but at least they still leave their aggressive atmosphere as they should.
      And if one day they want to go back to their (EBM) roots, they will.
      Until then, either settle for what you have or move on, unfortunately, but the music industry doesn't always revolve around you.

  • @jakekirkpatrick1357
    @jakekirkpatrick1357 3 месяца назад

    Bottom line is, Combichrist (Andy) should have stuck as a solo industrial dj instead of making it a "band"...Mr. Letz is an amazing drummer, but live industrial acts have no need for it.
