Soilwork – Guitarist Peter Wichers Quits Band
SOILWORK guitarist Peter Wichers has decided to leave the band and has issued the following statement:
“I have decided to part ways with SOILWORK. This has been one of my hardest decisions to make, and SOILWORK has not only been my band but my second family and very good friends for almost 10 years. I’m just worn out from all the touring and I have reached a point in my life where touring is just not possible for me anymore. I need a break from the touring so that I can actually begin to build a more solid ground to stand on for the future. I have on this journey met so many amazing people, made so many new friends, played in front of thousands of people, and I got to travel to places I have always dreamt of visiting. SOILWORK has reached a level I never thought was possible, and I am so proud to have been a part of this amazing band experience and working alongside with such amazing people like I have. I know that in order for SOILWORK to reach a new level there has to be even more touring done, and I feel as if its only fair that someone else therefore fills my spot now instead of later. I have decided to continue with my second passion in life, which is Music Production & Recording, and in order to achieve this goal I need to put all my time and energy into this. SOILWORK and me will remain great friends and I wish them all the success in the future. I also wish to extend a gigantic “THANK YOU” to all the Fans, The Label, Friends & Bands and Magazines for the great support and encouragement. I can also say that this is not the end for me in music, but the beginning of something new!”

this is horrible news. :angry:
:sad:
yeah I'm actually really saddened by this news. Soilwork is one of my favorite bands and he's a big part of that. I hope they can get somebody with as much talent to take his place.
Please find someone great and headline the US again.
Oh…Balls :sad:
yeah, except make plans to come to Lawrence, KS instead of making me think you are coming and then having some shitty band take your place
:wassat:this caught my attention, aw, crap shit. :angry:
10 years in a band and you now decide you can't stand touring…nice. Hope the band continues strong anyway.
This really sucks, Peter's one of my favorite guitarists, as well as a very cool person. He's the chief songwriter in the band, so I hope they can keep writing killer songs without him. Good luck, Peter!
most of the talent is leaving this band with him
It's not like this guy has written any great riffs since Natural Born Chaos. Maybe the time off will make him realize that he helped write two shit albums and go back to what he used to write: Quality Music.
There are a lot of us that are actually open-minded enough to enjoy the two latest releases though, don't forget that.
Since when does being "open-minded" have anything to do with whether a band sucks ass or not? Just because they changed their sounds is not the reason why I dislike them. I'm open to many different genres as I've stated before but bullshit watered-down gothenburg is not one of them. When a band declines in songwriting, there's a problem.
Having differing opinions is sweet.
Having different opinions isnt sweet, you fucking cocksucking anal-sucking dumbass. I hope you fucking die in a big pile of Rhino crap after being torn multiple new assholes by that same rhino's horns. Fuck you and your opinions, asshole. I cannot possibly explain in anymore detail how much I disagree with your opinion. So fuck you. Did I mention you're a dumbass? and that you should die in rhino shit? Oh yeah, I did, and I meant it, Because your opinion fucking sucks.
:wink:
Well, I'm open-minded enough to consider Soilwork's new material as something other than "watered-down gothenburg". Just a difference in opinions is all. They have tons of fans (including myself) that enjoy their two latest albums, so they won't miss your sorry unfortunate ass. :tongue:
Were you inferring that I suck cocks and anus simultaneously? Though that would lead one to believe I have a lot of practice sucking, I still don't think I'd be able to wrap my lips around a weiner and a butthole all at once.
