As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis took to social media for the first time since the rest of the members of the band left the group and addressed the shakeup in the lineup and vowed to rebuild the band.
He told fans, "Hi everyone, I needed some time to process all that has happened recently with AILD.

It had become difficult to figure out even the smallest details, and I admit I can stick strong to my vision for the future of AILD even when others think it should go another direction. (continue)

Redbeard shared this synopsis for the episode: In November 1984 Bryan Adams' fourth album, Reckless , had only just begun spinning off what eventually would be a total of six Top 15 hits, including "Run to You", "One Night Love Affair", "Somebody", "Summer of '69", "It's Only Love" with superstar Tina Turner, and the #1 single, " Heaven". At the time only Michael Jackson's Thriller was the equal of Reckless for sheer mass appeal sales. Ponder that for a moment. (read more)
