Job For A Cowboy drummer Jon Rice quits band

Job For A Cowboy drummer Jon Rice has amicably left the band, with whom he has played since 2007. Rice sent the following statement to MetalSucks, which sheds little light on reasons for his departure:
"As of this past August, I have decided to part ways with Job for a Cowboy. There are a few reasons for this, none of which I'm going to get into. "That being said, I have no intentions of stopping touring or playing. I honestly love to tour and play live with new people, so I look forward to playing in new musical arenas in the future. "The dudes and I are on very good terms with this and they understand the decision. They have a new record in the making and I'm extremely excited to hear it. "Thanks again to everyone." For their part, the band has yet to comment on the matter.

My guess is he didn't get paid equally.

I guess nobody is going to comment on what he did in Phoenix in a few weeks ago....I'll be very interested to see what all is said about that when it hits this horrible website lol

My guess is, it finally hit him that he's been playing in a horrendously awful band for 6 years, and the singer told him he couldn't put it in his butt anymore

He's not an jerk. He is socially awkward, though.

anonymous 10/29/2013 12:06:06 PM

anonymous 10/30/2013 3:21:56 PM

Knew an ex of his. She found out he cheated on her because of bragging in an interview about sticking some drunk girl. Keep it classy.

anonymous 10/31/2013 5:50:27 AM

"Go on the Phoenix newspaper website and look back a week or so...if you're not an idiot, you'll figure it out. My guess is your sort of dumb for believing what you read on a reviled forum thread, idiot.." It's called copy and paste mother fcker
