Jake W. leaves Aiden

Seattle goth punks Aiden have parted company with guitarist Jake Wambold.

An update from guitarist Angel Ibarra on the band's MySpace blog reads as follows:

"Well, now that it is out in the open. Yes, Jake Wambold is no longer in the band. This has definitly [sic] been a difficult situation for us. I'm not going to give you reasons or specifics on anything because its does not matter... It is what it is. However, what does matter is that I have been hearing and reading things of what people have to say on this, who really shouldn't be saying anything at all.

"It has nothing to do with them, nor were they in the band!! and it is definitly [sic] not their place to say anything. So please just understand that people exaggerate. With that said we miss you all and we will see you all very soon we have shows this weekend in Spokane and Seattle Washington so come out and rock with us.

"Angel + Aiden"

well, that may be your opinion mate.

Shit... Jake leaving Aiden?! fuck. that is not good news. not good news at all. he taught me how to swing my guitar round my neck... gash.

Posted by Brapp | May 21, 2008 1:00 PM | Reply to this

swinging guitars around neck?? something that has been going on for years you bellend.
namely in papa roach's between angels and insects music video and possibly before that.

aiden are fucking shit and its a shame the headline didnt read " aiden tour bus explodes with them all trapped inside"

now that would be funny.

If you don't like Aiden, don't bother comment. We don't give a shit of your opinion, you're just filling the space on this page...

Was sorry to hear that he left the band :( That sucks..... the only good thing is that Aiden will continue playing, that's good. Even if it wont be the same without Jake.....

The beginning of the end. They have lasted quite a while on minimum talent - now kindly fuck off!

Posted by Patrick Bateman | May 21, 2008 2:09 PM | Reply to this

Ohhh, not called for!
I quite liked him,
I think that they are starting to go downhill,
I think this next guitarist will be make or break...

The Daily Mail has repeatedly attacked MCR, going back years. You can see the articles on the daily mail website. They recently posted an article accusing the band of being a 'suicide cult'.

Enough is enough, these boys have worked so hard to keep us out of harm and away from suicide, it's time we bounced back. We need to stand up and let the world know that MCR is a positive band with a positive message.

This is where you guys come in. We are organizing a peaceful protest outside the Daily Mail's London HQ. We want to show them that we aren't a cult but an army. Obviously, we need people for a protest so, if you can get there, please come and join us. Show the world and our boys what we're made of and that we won't take any garbage.

The peaceful protest starts at Hyde Park at 9:30am. We'll meet there and then at 10am, make our way to the Daily Mail's HQ nearby in Derry Street. The protest will take place on Saturday, May 31st 2008.

TO ALL YOU AIDEN HATERS: SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!
How would you like it if someone left YOUR favorite band?
Just because you don't like Aiden it doesn't mean you should abuse and disrespect them. People like you make me sick - go and spread your immature hate somewhere else and leave Aiden the fuck alone!

Posted by amz | May 21, 2008 7:55 PM | Reply to this

i can not stand that band, they annoy the shit out of me, if only Wil left then they might be a tad more berable. Oh too bad on the aiden fans that the dude left, its well bad when a member of a band you like leaves.

Posted by ballbag | May 21, 2008 7:59 PM | Reply to this

That sucks :[
I hope they're still friends though, and that everything works out for both Jake and the rest of the band.

Love youuus x

JAKE WAS KICKED OUT OF AIDEN! THE REST OF THE BAND KICKED HIM OUT OVER THE PHONE!

TO SAVE WIL WAS ALL FOR THE MUSIC NOT THE MONEY...WELL THE REST OF AIDEN WILL NOW GET JAKES SHARE OF THE MONEY TOO AS WELL AS FREE PUBLICITY LIKE THIS!

AND SO MUCH FOR WIL BEING ALL UNDERSTAND OF BEING STABBED IN THE BACK! HIM AND THE REST OF AIDEN KICKED JAK, ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO FOUND AIDEN, OUT!

IT ANNOYS ME GREATLY THAT THE MUSIC BUSINESS IS ALL ABOUT MONEY NOW; NOT ABOUT THE MUSIC!

First of all, all the people who hate Aiden, whats the point in leaving stupid comments like that? If thats the best thing you have to do with your time, then you seriously need to go and find a hobbie. And most some english/gammer lessons too.

And not everyone who likes Aiden, and fucking "Emo" kidss. ._.

Whatever the reason for him leaving, Aiden will never be the same. But hell;; I wish him good luck.(:

everyone who posted a comment who said aiden were shit should really get a life. stop going on about how shit you think aiden were and jumping on the whole "we hate aiden coz its emo music" bandwagon and get over it coz no one really gives a crap about how much you hate them no matter if its your opinion or not. yeah i personally like aiden but i love metallica and stuff too. yet i dont slag off bands i dont like coz its spoiling it for other fans.

bye bye jake and carry on aiden (y)

I have seen Aiden live. they were awful.

I am impressed that you are able to deduce my sexuality over the interet. Your sterling argument has convinced me that I am. Might upset my girlfriend a bit, but I'll just blame you. :)

Seriously, I have an opinion, so do you. It's a public message board. There's no need to throw adolescent homophobic insults around.

Posted by The Toad | May 22, 2008 4:42 PM | Reply to this

Sure, I feel really sorry for Jake and I would love to have it as it used to be, but this isn't fair. You've only heard one side of the story. I saw Jake and Angel having an argue at one of their concert, they actually left the stage and Wil had to save the rest of the concert. He took a cigarette and talked quickly to them, and they were back on the stage after Wil's song which he performed self.

They had issues with each other, but as they consider themselves as brothers, it must have been prettty serious, this isn't something they decided over a night, nor did they tell Jake over the phone. Nick told me that they hadn't told him that over a phonecall!

So I think you should be a little neutral before you judge somebody like that. If you really like Aiden, you know they were really tight. It's obviously that it's something behind this decision.

Nick also told me that their families, friends and girlfriends didn't knew anything about this either, so it's quite obvious Kelly's mad at Aiden.

To everyone saying Aiden are shit...

Look what they've done with their lives, their succesful musicians and with more money than your household probably earns in a year.

Now look at yourselves; sitting at a computer waiting for news about Aiden to come up so you can say how shit they are.

Yeah I think i know who's better.

Just making an observation, usuallly the Gayden remark pops up in the first 3 replies.

You know, the people making bitchy comments about Aiden on here have now wasted a few seconds of their pathetic lives.

Sure, you are allowed your opionin on them, but really there is no need to be immarture about it is there really?
'yeah Aiden are shit'
Grow up?
Fine don't like their music, nobody's forcing you, but you're forcing yourself on here and pressing the keys on your keyboard.
So, if you think they're so 'crap' then, why don't you go sit in a corner and talk to yourself?
I don't think you'd like it if I was to call your favourite band a bunch of rubbish now would you?
But I won't, because I'm open to a lot of music, and I'm not a silly immarture person who probably lives on the computer. < opinion, my gosh, opinion?!

And Jake Wambold.
He was amazing in Aiden, and I hope he goes onto other things and that whatever's wrong, that they can at least sort it out.

World by storm. :D
