amazing show, poor venue. when i saw them at the warehouse i was much more impressed. although, they were going through a serious piss-off-the-gnr-audience phase at the CNE show, and that was funny.
Yup. After Jim Marten (the guitar player with the whacky hair and glasses) got booted out, they went through a few guitarists that didn't work out too well.
actually, their replacement guitarists weren't as bad as some (see RHCP). tre spruance (from mr bungle) recorded 'king for a day...', but didn't want to tour with them. dean menta (sp?) was their touring guitarist for that album, and he used to be jim martin's guitar tech.
from the reports that i've heard, the turnouts for the shows on their 'album of the year' tour were disappointing at best, and they cancelled the tour and broke up. they had finally had enough of making great music and having nobody pay attention. plus they all had other projects on the go: roddy bottom - imperial teenager, billy gould - brujeria (amongst others), mike bordin was playing with black sabbath, and of course, mike patton still has about 1 000 000 things on the go.
