"I wish this band would continue without Craig" - No one.

I know what I'm going to say isn't fair but I wish people weren't making a big, dumb controversy about this. Craig is back in Chiodos and that is such awesome news that I really don't care what happens to DRUGS.

Odd way of doing things...I guess he was covering himself in case of trouble.

Awkward. wow.

LOL

Bummer for them.

Loving the thread title haha

I know a lot of people are going to take the opportunity here to lump more shit on Craig for this, but if you look at this from a non biased standpoint this makes perfect sense. He had just gotten kicked out of a band that he helped (okay lets face it, hes probably the only reason most people gave a shit about Chiodos and that's backed up by the new guy lasting one album) build and now the new guy is running around on tour making bank off songs that he wrote. Who wouldn't want a little legal protection from that happening again?

Wow. I mean, I understand why it's like that, but still, wow.

I usually don't respond to this stuff. But you're annoying as fuck.

All and all a lot messier than I thought.

good point.

I really enjoyed the D.R.U.G.S. record and I loved Chiodos with Brandon. I'm really bummed that all of this happened.

Both bands were/are nothing special imo. However the guys in drugs were talented musicians and he screwed them. Craig's douche factor and love of attention greatly exceeds his talent level.

Couldn't they change their name to some other stupid acronym and continue on?

I don't disagree that he kinda screwed them by rejoining Chiodos, just saying that the contract itself makes sense.
