Electric Six: New Lineup is Like "Kiss Without the Makeup"
shadyadie by [redacted] June 19th, 2003
So much for an 'amicable' split. Just like Jamie from One True Voice (sorry, I mean OTV) initially claiming their split with Daniel was amicable and they were "all still friends", then throwing a hissy fit to a tabloid paper, all is not well either in the Electric Six camp.

As previously reported, the "pressures of success" forced out three members of the band. Well, former bassist Disco has told NME.com that this is not entirely the truth.

He says the 'pressures of success' "jive" was just a "good joke", and goes on to ominously claim "we know what really happened, those guys know what happened, everyone close to the band knows what happened and everybody in Detroit now knows what happened. They can say whatever they want to the press. It's fine with us." (Dude, it clearly isn't alright!)

Despite NME's "oh go'wan, tell us, tell us, tell us" probing, Disco revealed no more, before sarcastically bitching about the new lineup: "Kiss was great after they took the make-up off. And we saw Axl's new 'Chinese Democracy' line-up on the telly and it was great. So who knows?"

Miaow. Handbags. Etc.
