James Shotwell In the days since we announced Alexisonfire was no more, former guitarist/vocalist Dallas Green has received a lot of hate. Granted, it was his solo project that initially sent the band’s career spiraling, but there has to be more to the story, right?
Spinner caught up with the bearded Canadian to discuss the split, his view of things, and where he’s going from here. You can read an excerpt from the piece below. Click here for the full story.
He described it in the announcement as “not amicable.”
It’s the truth, right? They didn’t want me to leave the band. They said, “Why can’t you just keep doing what we’re doing, go back and forth?” Well, that’s why I’m leaving, because it’s killing me. As much as they saw me always on tour and always putting records out back to back to back, I don’t think they really understood that I was literally never home.
When people would ask me when I’d make the decision, I’d joke, “When I have a nervous breakdown.” But I have already had those. I was in the hospital with pneumonia. I’ve lain in the bus crying uncontrollably at night. I was living this unbelievably blessed life but I had no idea how to enjoy it because I was running myself ragged, trying to appease my commitments to Alexisonfire but also trying to appease all the people that were showing interest in City and Colour. It just got to a point when I had to make a decision. A very hard decision. But after 10 years, my heart … well part of my heart is there, but most of my heart is with this.
