welcome to the ninety-nine. Be sure to checkin in with prp staff when you show up
Did he leave because he was getting the boot or offered a soft boot via severance package, did he leave because he is going elsewhere and is unhappy with all RR’s recent cuts, or is he out of the game totally? That dude signed so many bad ass metal bands. I read a couple interviews with him over the years and he sure is an icon in the metal community.
Probably going elsewhere I’m sure. He knows how fast the ship is sinking because he’s in it, not a bystander from the shore like we are.
