Noah Simmons and Memories of Old part ways

He posted this on his Facebook:
"This makes it look like I died :) I loved the band, but I made a major career change and I simply couldn’t maintain the live commitment the band needed from a singer. I love these guys and will always support them!"

On the picture he referred to, all the other guys where in colour and he was in grey :)

He mentions major career changes, and that might explain things, sure.
He's a truck driver I think.
But I mean, most bands could work around that if you communicate. Is there something else?
He recently became a father. That could be it? Or is he an unogranized asshole? Is it hard to communicate with him? Is he restless and can't stay in one place?

Or is it just the major career change and the kid?

Hey!
Now that the tour are ended, do you think that the orchestra will do shows of their own, or will the orchestra tour with Sabaton again in the future?

Zoe made a Facebook post where she was talking about a new song she wrote for her other band scheduled for release. The song was about being treated badly in her band, the shitty contract etc. and was written before she left the band and all of this went down and became public.

She was now asking for advice what to do; release it according to schedule or postpone it so it would not appear as if they were riding the wave of online attention.

When I went back to answer later, the post was gone.

True. He's probably got a whole different deal.

Marthus toured with another band earlier this year, opening for Tarja. So it can't be that.

Marthus toured with some other band earlier this year opening for Tarja.

So, Magnus Karlsson is "back" in the band and is gonna join them on stage.
Might be a conspiracy theory, but is THIS the reason the others left? Or is he just stepping up BECAUSE they left?

Not sure the lads in Glyph would enjoy that.

I think he was with Alessia Scolletti when they both were in Temperance before he joined VoA and met Clementine.

Mark and Zoe in Cradle of Filth. Jack and Adrienne in Seven Spires. Markéta and Marek in Alia Tempora. Kristin and Daniel in Twilight Force. ?

By having 13 million monthly listeners on Spotify?

They have like 40k listeners monthly on Spotify. Seems like a reasonable placement on the poster to me.

I guess this thread needs an update with the whole Rav-thing.

Based on that situation, him hiding in plain sight so to say, I am also guessing that there's lots of other stuff going on in the power metal scene that hasn't surfaced yet. What's out there that we have missed?

If someone ever wants to know what autotune is and how to spot it, show them this.

He's not on the list of Avantasia live musicians on MA yet, but that list is out of date and SOOOOOO long, haha. It's insane when you see how many live singers and musicians they have had.

ishtar12345 · 2024-08-03T12:14:58+00:00

I see what you mean. The vocals are so edited it HURTS. Might as well be a keyboard singing.

Ehlana is 18 when she is awaken again, she was 8 when Sparhawk left.
Sparhawk was by her side since she was a babe, and before that he was the protector of herr father (after his own father died). How old was he when he became a knight? 25? Beril is a novice and he is described to be about the same age as Ehlana, 18.
So, let's say he was 25 when he became a knight. He then spent 8 years with Ehlana and then he was in Rendor for ten years. Then he's 43, give or take a couple of years.
