IMPORTANT NEWS! IOM NOW A TRIO!

[Lily]

just got the news...that's too bad.

I know the band will be just great as a three piece, it'll probably be a bit weird at first but everyone will get used to it.

Hope you and katy reach a friendlier stage soon

keep rocking

[Molly]

I love you TomS.

As for 'Zoe' *coughcoughcoughkofjfjkeahrachelgduydcoughcough*
Katie didn't write any of the music anyway. or lyrics. for whatever reason this may be, it was the case.
Now, good 3 piece bands...Placebo, Tiger Army, the Distillers, and.... SILVERCHAIR AND NIRVAVA *childish tittering*

and biffy clyro too

whether they're together or not the members (ex-members) of IOM will always rock and will achieve great things. i have this feeling. you know, in my waters or something.

i can name great bands and the member numbers vary from 3 to 5 so what does it matter, after all its only a number, however this doesb't stop me being sad the IOM has ceased being in the form i first new it as.

hope you guys sort things out soon and are friends again. good luck everyone who's got exams, and char i need another EP, i'll speak to you on monday about it.

bye

no more spanish! ever. but yes i'm still greatly sadden bye the news.

i leave with mixed emotions

it is of my humble onpinion that the best vocalists play an instrument and write the material that they play/sing. It's the only true way to understand and feel what you are doing. And that is the true basis for a band, for every member to feel, associate with, and breathe the music that they play.   anyway.......................

Good point dude. Naff off Mo- I love him more!  

And yes..... Zoe.... cough cough rachel mackey cough.

u silly willy's...u got rid of the only asset the band had!

look guys i shall give up now! i am getting v.bored but hey i needed to get my point across, i dont think getting rid of Kt was the best desisiion the band could of made, if it was a fall out, then it could have been sorted but if u didnt think she was right, couldnt u have given the chance to change! i may not know the full story but people have filled me in! We all luv kt! plz dont get totoaly rid of her, and if she is pissed at the mo. i would be if it happend to me! sos about teh mindless vandalism but what can i say, i am a bloke thats an excuse in itself!

if anyone wants to chat talk to me on msn @ [e-mail]

cheers and l8er days dude! andy!!!

[Tom]

1. theres no need to post your message a million times (sado)

2. IOM obviously have their reasons for waht they did and you seem to know very little

3. If Kate was the only asset the band had then surely shes better off doing it without IOM anyway (not that you know what you're talking about).

etc.

Message Board tension....eeek  

[andy]

bite me tom!, if they had reasons why didnt they tell everyone them to stop all this falling out, i shall post as many things as many times as i want i was making a point! and as i see it KT needs all the surport she can get! seeing as u guys have shown what side u r on!

[andy]

Dont diss my taste either pall, i was listening to dark punk b4 u were into pop! yeah IOM will still Rule and produce other gr8 music, but  Kt was obviously the best singer and it was shown especialy at the tring gig! i am just showing the other point of view, two sides of the coin!!!!!!!! Some1 leaving the band is not nesseserily the best thing in the world!!! the otehr view point needed to be expressed

[Tom]

well chill out a bit to start off with.

the way to make a point if you think have one is to do it in a slightly less irritating manner. There are many things in life that piss us all off.  Doesn't mean you have to deal with it in an immature way. Its not the way to get people to listen to you.

also at the end of the day, it's the bands business, let them deal with it. theres no need to start wars over stuff like this . Ok you are pissed off with them. they maybe pissed off with you. But I doubt they will start doing petty things.

please grow up.

who dissed your taste? And I listen to pop?
I have no problem with other points of view dude, just the manner in which some people express them.

[Charlie]

I'm getting tired of this. I don't know what Katie has been telling you but I'm sure she's hamming it up a bit. There were no falling outs. That is not why we asked her to leave.
I don't really know how to explain it without being bitchy. I tried my best to ask Katie to leave as sympathetically as I possibly could. I have to say I'm really really upset with the way she's taken it.

Thanks everyone else who is supporting us through this decision.

Well, Andy, you won't be able to post anything if we ban you from the board, will you? And the only point that was coming across from your many posts was that you were a dickhead, so I think you need to re-think your strategy.

It is interesting that you mention "sides." It doesn't take a genius to work out who decided to turn this affair into a battle, does it?
