I feel like this guy would know a bit more than the rest of us... Sorry if there's a thread about this already...

I doubt they can be happy about him posting that..

That hack has no business saying that. He should retract it ASAP.

[JohnRogers]

Who is Kevin J Anderson?

Who is Kevin J Anderson?

Exactly!

 

 

(he's the author leeching off the success of Clockwork Angels)

[rocket ignites]

They should "Wish him Well" after that comment.

Alex without the wig.

I figured something like this would have been wiped off the internets like the DW NAMM video where John Good spilled the beans about "El Darko" Unless I hear it from Ged, Alex, or Neil I wouldn't believe it. Besides, we all know the Clockwork Angels novel was garbage. The man can't even write fiction, much less report any kind of actual fact...

[JohnRogers]

I didn't know who he was but aren't we criticizing him for the same thing many of us are saying? Yeah it's not 100% but more than likely retired has been a common theme for months.

Now what you said is definitely a fact! He is not even 3rd rate.

 

I still wince when I remember reading his pathetic Dune novels. His incompetant prose was an insult to Frank Herbert and Dune fans everywhere.

It's different coming from us as fans on a message board, as opposed to someone semi-linked to the band full-out saying they are retiring before any official part of the band has announced anything.

[x1yyz]

I like one of the responses he got: "The band should cut off you for claiming "retirement." How can you know if they don't?"

[H to O]

The "J" in his name must stand for Jackass.

 

I would think someone close to the band would just keep their mouth shut. Sorry Kevin, enjoy your work, but my respect level for you just went down the tubes. Retirement or not, you should just stick with the bands message rather than being a twitter asshole.

[D3strukt]

frankly I don't see why everyone is getting a stick up their asses. Who gives a shit?

[hcm]

Ah twitter gets another one...to easy to say something you shouldn't. KJA you should take the tweet down at least

[djflex]

I dunno , its twitter so does it even matter? To me, no. I dont know who he is or follow twitter...

 

Not trying to dump on your thread , just my thoughts

[snowdog212]

This dude reminds me of the Psychiatrist from Metallica's Some Kind Of Monster

*innocently whistles* ;)

[Disembodied Spirit]

He followed up that Tweet with "Ben Affleck is Batman"

[MeanMeanPride]

I feel like he is misinformed. He can't have "inside info" because that doesn't exist. Alex said they haven't even discussed the future. This guy is just riding the "last tour" hype train and made an unfortunate comment.

[EagleMoon]

Who cares what this guy says?

[JohnRogers]

Who cares what this guy says?

Exactly, we have debates over HEMIspheres vs. Grace Under Pressure to get back to.

Uh no. :)

[MeanMeanPride]

Hemispheres wins. Prelude is some of the best instrumental Rush!

[rftag]

Even if it were true, I can't imagine that the boys wouldn't be livid at it being leaked like this. I'm sure they'd want to reveal such news themselves.
