Video of Craig Owens discussing his removal from Chiodos

Alternative Press - Scott Heisel on 9/28/09 @ 12:51 AM - altpress.com

Last Thursday, Craig Owens was fired from his band of eight years, Chiodos. He briefly commented on his departure via Twitter, but now, a video has surfaced of Owens discussing the dismissal.

"It is what it is," said Owens at a solo show on Sept. 26 in Rochester, Michigan. "Moving on is moving on... I'm upset; I'm hurt, I'm frustrated; but all those feelings aren't going to get me anywhere. All I have to do is persevere... I've got a lot of things to figure out."

You can watch his entire remarks below.

Oh shut up already LilJPenick. It's clear you're nothing more then a flamer and a troll. You don't like Craig Owens? Fine. Seriously though, quit it with your narcissistic bulls***. No one cares what you think. Go step in front of a bus and do us all a favor.

yeah, don't even bother with LilPenick, anyone, not even for telling him to shut up. he's just some twelve year old that thinks he can be a badass on the internet.

Hey LilPenick, you should take a page from Craigs book and GROW UP. Maybe when you get some taste in music you can argue with the big kids, till then you should keep your eye on getting out of middle school :D

I think you guys should wait and hear the next album before you decide whether or not your gonna buy it.

I'm going to wait and see what the future of Chiodos is. Never forget that Craig wasn't the sole writer for the band. I'm afraid to see what will become of their sound, but I'm gonna wait and see. I'll definitely miss Craig being part of the band though.

i agree with xFlynnx. i am gonna wait til their next album comes out. i love chiodos. craig is amazing. yeah it will never be the same without craig and they will have a different sound. but like i said i am gonna wait to see what their next album is like because you never know it could still be pretty good

Man that sucks. Best of luck to you, Craig! And shame on the band for removing him. If it weren't for Craig, Chiodos wouldn't even exist.
