Lagwagon bassist speaks 2010-02-09 by StrizzMatik | 9 Comments | Originally posted on the band's message board, Jesse Buglione has confirmed that he is indeed no longer with the band:
"I'm no longer in Lagwagon. And the fact that I have a son has a lot to do with it - I was gone for most of the time that he was two years old (he's 3 1/2 now) and missed a lot while we were on tour. It's no fun only getting to spend 10 minutes a day with him via Skype during his formative years. And, sorry to say, my son is much more important to me than Lagwagon. There are actually a number of other reasons that motivated my decision to finally leave, none of which I feel comfortable going into right now. Money isn't really among those, considering I'm making much less now working 50+ hours a week than I ever did with Lagwagon.
Overall, what it comes down to is that it's hard continuing with something if your heart's not in it. And for me, in a weird way, there's something a little more gratifying about doing my current job (art director for a magazine). Even though it's a magazine I wouldn't personally read and our monthly deadline is more stressful than Lagwagon ever was, doing new layouts every day has become a little more gratifying than playing 'Mr. Coffee' for the 2000th time."
The original message has since been deleted from the Lagwagon MB thread. Thanks to http://www.punknews.org for the info.

Among other things in the post, he said Lagwagon isn't done and will probably tour with a revised lineup, and wanted to stress he wasn't trying be asshole-ish about the whole thing, but it's pretty clear to me it wasn't the most amicable split
| | |
Understandable
| | |
This makes me sad.
| | |
this was kind of a dickish statement I think
| | |
^ agreed
| | |
No more dickish than Cape's interview was though
| | |
How was it dickish? It's honest and the right thing to do, it looks like.
| | |
he basically said "i hate that band so much id rather make less money and work more hours for a magazine i hate doing boring page layouts."
| | |
No, he said he wants to spend time with his family, and is willing to make less money and work more hours to make that happen.
