"Ok, let accept that Joey is lying (which I don't believe) and he forced Scott to tell lies...what kind of person are you to lie about your son's health? In some circumstances my boss/contract can force me to keep silence or to lie about other things, but not to lie about my closest persons!...besides, why Scott didn't came out to say "the truth" after the first time he left the band (or was kicked out, I don't care), why he didn't came out to say "the truth" in april 2008 (when he left the band, as he said). Nothing is so simple as some are trying to say...but there is one simple answer - advertisement/PR.
Things like this (member leaves a band/is kicked out) happens all the time and most of the people don't make too much noise even if they had big problems...only people who need PR make too much noise. And the whole drama with Scott smells like cheap PR. I don't want to say anything bad about Scott and Ross, but it looks like their management/PR made one simple decision - Scott and Ross didn't need PR/noise in the past when they left Manowar (or were kicked out)...they need it now, cause they are making new projects, they will play together, so they will need more fans to buy their music and attend their shows. But who else than Manowar fans will be intereseted? Ok, let's make media scandal, lets divide Manowar fans and steal them on our side - let's convince as many Manowar fans as possible that Ross and Scott are the true Manowar."
So sieht's aus, Infidels.
