Sad to say Rob has handed his notice in to Metalleeka

Posted By : Scott - Metalleeka | Comments : 17

As a result we are now looking for an awesome guitarist to replace Rob

If you fancy it, or know anyone who is up for it, then get them to give me a call on 0778 977 3803
Rob is a true gent and has agreed to keep going until we have a replacement.

I'll be honest and say I'm absolutely gutted as Rob is not only a brilliant guitarist but a brilliant bloke, but I also know that if you are not 100% happy with the music you are doing then there is no point in dragging it on.

We wish Rob all the best for the future and will stay friends for a long time :-D

cheers

Scott

*PLEASE NOTE venues all gigs will be totally honoured and stand until a replacement for me is completely sorted**********

Real sorry to hear that, great pity as Rob is a great asset.

I'm sure it wont take you too long to find a suitable replacement though...Metaleeka Rock.

Good luck to both you and Rob.

Sorry to hear this news Scott, we thought your were set up for a long future together, band sounded awesome when we seen you at the Tranny........big shoes to fill whoever takes over from Rob

Yep Rob won't be easily replaced, and i don't just mean guitar wise. On a personal level too.
Still, in the words of James Hetfield himself "what don't kill ya makes you more strong", we will enjoy the next few months we have with Rob and then make sure we have the right guy for the job to get even better, if we can lol

Dammit Scott - wish I played guitar!

# Posted by Scott - Metalleeka - 10/03/2010, 15:24 (GMT)

We'll record Rob's parts and do a metallica-vanilli if you want, and hope the tape doesn't get stuck pmsl

I'm totally shell shocked dammit. This is very sad news indeed. Your a great bunch of guys and I wish you all the best of luck for the future...... even though you've ruined my day!
