Chris Brenner was a neccessity within the band. With his extreme talent and timing dependebility, he helped kick off the right way.
Drummers:

We are ready to free the world of the constant existence of tension between the "REAL PEOPLE" and the "Corporate Whore White Males" (ha ha ha) that command the "Land of the Free" with a fist of iron.
You must be asking yourself if we will do the right thing and reject the temptation of the "money makes the world go 'round" philosophy?
HELL NO!! We are willing to kiss as many asses as possible to get to where we are going (I'm sure we are)!

So send in the clowns, the joke is over.
