unfortunate news, if you thought BOE ruled with 2 guitar players, sorry. it seems that jim ash has split from bane of existence.
if you check out the band's old myspace account,
http://www.myspace.com/baneofexistence
you will see that jim is the only member of the band... but if you check out boe's page "offical" page:
http://www.myspace.com/boemetal
jim is no longer in the band.

it looks like jim is selling off all the equipment he has and that BOE is continuing on with the new line up minus jim. this features brandon (bass), dusty (vocals), mike (drums), and chris (guitar). If you are keeping score, that means Mike is the only original member of the band left.

from their website it looks like they are continuing with the "normal" BOE course:
Additionally, BoE will be taking the rest of the winter off to write. We have a whole new set of material in the works that's guaranteed to be the most devastating yet. Keep an eye out for more frequent news and site updates. Stay sick!

IOW: no winter shows. I'm sure they will be out playing again once the snow clears.

That's weird.

looks more like jim completely caved to the power of the pussy.

oh what a tangled web we weave.

wow! didn't see that coming!

pam said:

I did, back during that drama about the modded boe shirt and when jim stopped posting here completely.

I think pam was being sarcastic there.

Partially. I knew there was drama, but I guess I'm still a little surprised he actually left.

yeah, I hear that.
all that smack that went down was totally retarded. jim's a cool dude, a dedicated metalhead, and a soild guitarist. it's too bad for this board and that band that he's decided to remove himself. I was hoping he'd comeback after things blew over, but let's hope he's back before he turns 50, shreadding it once again.

I never saw the crap that happened on here, what happened? I just heard there was drama.

the_reverend said:

you are being too kind. too bad he hates this board, this scene, you and everyone else that posts here. He'll never come back. we're better off and the band is probably better off as well. good riddence.

under your new laws you can be arrested for that, prez.

the site about chickie and j makes me wanna puke. i'd hate to have a gf that retarded. i bet it's her fault.

^^^

I've learned long ago not to care what people think. if he hates me, oh well. I won't believe it until it comes from his mouth. Since, I will never see him again, I will always think he's a cool dood and all.

he probably hates me for what i posted but i still think he's a cool guy it's just too bad that this happened. I won't say anything else

I know he hates me, he told me so.

joe, even your mom tells you she hates you all the time.
stop breaking your family members hearts!

Chris, the other guitarist, he hates me too.

I know the reason why. he should probably lighten up about it, but then again, you are an asshole.

Josh_hates_you said:

hahahahahahaha. +1

i thought something was up when i saw that he was looking for a band in his myspace profile. he left me a happy birthday comment, so i went to his profile to thank him and i read that he was looking for a new band.

you two (rev and carina) are class acts no matter what he or other people might think or say. Jim was a close friend of mine until he changed (or whatever the fuck it is that happened to him). It's a shame, really, now I could give two shits. I guess we will never understand him.

boo

Women are evil, evil creatures

Joe/NotCommon said:

yeah. He rather dislikes me as well.

If he hates you over a t-shirt or because you made his girlfriend mad one time, he's fucking worthless anyway.

I don't know, I always liked Jim. It all kind of sucks.

Women are the demise of society. Clearly.

It's too bad stuff like this can't happen to terrible bands like Sacreligion.

it sucks cause BOE sounds awesome with 2 guitars. i doubt this will slow them down though, hopefully not.

It's times like these that make me glad I'm unattractive with a terrible personality.

Strange. Why not give the band the MySpace with the BoE name?

i have no idea whats going on

wait? Jim's got the BOE myspace? cuz i just got a friend request from him on myspace...that doesn't make sense. he hates my ass

nevermind

KeithMutiny said:

none for you batman, only blunts

I won! I'm the only original member! yay!
Just kidding.

I won't get into any major details right now, but everyone pretty much knows what happened anyway.

Also, this is not going to slow us down. The new shit we've had/have cooking is guaranteed not to disappoint. We’ll have a whole new set before we play out again, also.

Official news update/press release to follow. Thanks for the support, folks!

Haha Mike is the leader of the band, the world just got a little darker.

I eagerly await the all-nude boy scout backup singers.

RichHorror said:

They would never be able to perform live, though, because you'd just start eating and fucking them. I would find that far too arousing and would not be able to focus on the music.

I love what this thread has become.

There's music?

that's so crazy

Joe/NotCommon said:

we are here to stay. sucks for you.

Thats okay, it just makes every other new england band look better.

Joe makes every other human being look better.

Joe's hand makes my cock look better. or is that bigger?
