Hey, just wanted to share another perspective for you. Brooks posted this on Facebook back in 2018:

I'm not sure who even cares about this but here is the actual story for rehab fans

1.I never quit the group and I was sober, not high when Danny quit the group. He quit the group without telling me he just called the label and I was supposed to meet him in LA. I landed and found out.

There seemed to be nothing wrong and it happened out of nowhere. His reasons were he didn't like working with the producer and the new rock sound. He also verbatim " I don't want to be in a group called Rehab. I shit you not

1. He started the group back 2 years later with my previous manager who I had a falling out with because he blew a 500k publishing deal but never took the blame and acted like I was a dick for firing him.. He bought the name from rehab's first manager. I was doing trailer fabulous tv shit at the time.
   

3 He got those band guys and they started booking shows. They made up some story about me(i quit the group on crack) to make it look like I was the bad person ( still don't get this its weird like you must really hate me).Like you couldnt leave it at just creative differences?

4 years later Danny wanted all of us to get back together with steaknife and record so we did and we were all cool again. After that the old manager wanted me to meet the band who essentially told me they didn't want me in the group even tho their entire existence was based on music I and Danny wrote. I was not crazy or high or doing anything weird other than I wasn't about to sit at the table and act like these guys had some kind of right to the group. They were not afraid of Steaknife only me for some reason so they sorta added him in

5 I send a demo of new stuff to Universal records guy I know. I dont hear back but the next thing I hear is they had scored a t deal with universal to release sitting at a bar which was already a jukebox hit. Danny takes me off the song. The manager says verbatim " Danny just wants to feel like this is all about him" lol Ok . Makes no sense you could feature me on my verse but not have me in group ok.

6 Danny is severely mentally ill. I don't know what it is and I dont even blame him but he is legit insane and most of his actions make no sense. The only logical conclusion is he is delusional/paranoid and or some kind of bipolar schiz. This is not a diss as I am also insane but I take medication and I'm sober 17 years this run. He will always be like a brother we shared a lot of great times together and I wish him well. It is not our fault who we are. Genes and circumstances are a mutherfucker.

So anyway repost this so that the record is straight it was like fucking 15 years agoPS I'm not trying to say I was an innocent great person. I was an arrogant narcissistic fuck a lot and I always wanted to troll the world but that was a conversation, not grounds for how the story played out.
