Marshall

[Bunny]

Yeah. Just had the email about it. Shame. Genuinely its a shame, because I loved his playing and presence but we know now at least. Theyre more than capable with 4!!! On the flip side, I dont think Marshall will play in a band with that much pull either.

Onwards and upwards.

What a great shame.......have no idea of the content of e.mail...I had a great chat with him at A New Day Festival and got his setlist..It was the the last Festival i went to (mainly health issues/Covid cancellations of Festivals/Gigs)...So as NMA headlined the Festival it was the last (and best) act i may ever see........''What A Wonderful Way To Go''.. ..

I wish him all the very best for his future and his musical career.......

[Bunny]

Yes I agree. Can only wish him well. Ill never forget I caught his gaze in Nottingham and I had a grin that said so many positive things...and he got understood it too.

Wow. It now goes so far that if you hint at the Marshall situation on the NMA fan page, your post is removed and you are unable to post again.



I was posting because it was said that posts mentioning Marshall were being removed. My post was not even about Marshall, I was merely stating that by franticly removing all these posts, they were creating their own Streaisandeffect. That was all.

Censorship, eerie...

With some kind words from the group admin to boot. Apparently I was a dick:

Don't be a dick. It's the only thing you need to remember.

NMA is not creating any effect, they don’t manage the FB page you mention, as the title says « unofficial NMA »

It was said on the same page that it was requested by the band. For what it's worth.

[Johnz]

Maybe because yours was the fifth post about the same topic in as many days?

Cut the admins some slack. They do have lives and they have explained the situation sufficiently. The page is also not associated with the band. The band has decided not to provide an explanation. They probably have their reasons and it might mean that the situation remains unresolved. 

I just put all this flurry down to post-Berlin passion running a bit high.

No, the band have NOT requested that the speculation about Marshall is taken down from the Unofficial FB group. People are entitled to their own opinions. The band will probably make a minimal statement in the near future, although the photographs and recent shows do make the situation pretty clear.

Thanks for the update. I think that is al people are asking. A small statement, without even going into details. Something along the lines of "personal reasons", "artistic differences" or "bad body odor io the touring bus". Just a conformation and closure.

Saw NMA in London in december, was a bit of a disappointment for me that Marshall was not there. The sound was flat and when Dean was not on the guitar, it felt empty on stage.
Watched the stream from Wacken today. Great setlist, great show and all. But i sure miss Marshall.

[Valstar]

I liked Marshall, what he brought on stage AND on the albums. BUT, I liked Nelson, Dave Bloomberg, Rob (liked Moose or Stuart but never saw them live with the band). So I will see for the future, but I really LOVED the Wacken video, the only thing was the guitar on Angry Planet, that sounded really poor and beyond the rest of the music, when it’s really needed upfront in this song (and the violin was not sufficient to bring the power needed).

So, I liked Marshal, but I like what I saw there.

I will be more than happy to have the same lineup (with violin 😁) for the winter gigs !

(I used the word « like » a lot, most of the time it could have been « love » but I wanted to look not to much like a fanboy 😉)

[Bunny]

Yeah. The band will cope. I loved Nelson, but Ceri has fit like a hand in glove. I loved Dave Blombergs guitar parts. Never saw him live but can appreciate it.
Ive said before, Dean is more than capable. I will miss Marshall cos I loved the "axe man" pose, but this is just another evolution. The music is still the same after all. I think the uncertainty was the issue, but we know now. Just need proper closure. We are family after all.

[Shush]

Well, if we are family, maybe it's time Mam un Dad tell us what's happend to uncle Marshall !
