The girlies are preventing once more and boy, is it giving me life. There’s been some drama amongst the Saliva camp with the band’s present and former members for a short while now. Brad Stewart, who’s been the bassist for the band since 2015, is getting fairly sick and bored with former frontman Josey Scott coming for them of their present iteration. He expressed his slight annoyance with all of it on a latest episode of his podcast The Vinyl Highway that he cohosts with Jason Bailey, the place he spoke extra on Scott nonetheless attempting to come back for smoke.
The smoke in query? Properly, apart from Scott eager to reclaim the Saliva title (in any case, he does say it’s his “title” and that he “put that band collectively one member at a time), Scott says the present lineup of the band is a “Temu model of Saliva, with some sort of a bastardized model that Bobby [Amaru] places collectively.” Not gonna lie, however that is singlehandedly one of the best fuckin drag of each Temu AND Saliva by some means. Scott did some nasty work with that one.
Getting again to Stewart, he wished to verify he communicated how totally unfazed he’s by all of this, throwing Scott’s shade again in his face because the one who tried to lifeless the band within the first place…
“[It] doesn’t hassle me in any respect. One bit. And I’ll let you know why — as a result of it’s principally a determined method to attract consideration to a scenario he hasn’t had management over for a very long time. Nobody’s exhibiting as much as his reveals as Josey Scott, so he wants the model, however I believe the model has lived on and advanced due to the work that we’ve put in. So, the issues he’s gonna say… He doesn’t act like he even is aware of me, in that article. So, what do you do with one thing like that? He is aware of who I’m. He is aware of what I’ve finished and what I’ve been part of and my affect and the folks I do know on this enterprise and in any other case. So, him attempting to trash what we’ve finished — once more, he ought to be thanking us for conserving the factor that he tried to kill and finally sabotage and finish so way back. And he’s taking part in the sufferer. So he’s making us appear to be the unhealthy man for carrying on one thing that he finally tried to finish. So I don’t really feel unhealthy about it…”
Scott left Saliva on his personal accord in 2011 to concentrate on different aspects of his life, reuniting with the band shortly again in 2022. One of many causes Scott is so salty has to do with the singer who changed him the next yr, Bobby Amaru, who has actually been working that shit ever since. However, on the finish of the day, a band is a enterprise and a enterprise has to maintain working, so something Scott has to say is barely pumping up the Saliva quantity, in Stewart’s eyes.
“We’ll take the free press any day, and don’t assume there’s not gonna be some Temu merchandise, that say ‘Saliva Temu’ on them. Belief me, dude. We’re gonna embrace it with laughter and enjoyable. [Josey] most likely thought he was most likely being intelligent or one thing, nevertheless it’s hilarious, actually. Like, actually? That’s all you bought? I imply, come on, bro. Temu model? Our Temu model sounds… Go have a look at the footage of us taking part in the songs versus their model. That’s all I gotta say, man. No matter, dude — O.G. or not.”
No matter certainly. Will I purchase no matter Temu Saliva merch which may come out? You betcha.
