For Today drummer quits band
Friday, June 15, 2012 12:35 PM PT
Official press release:
For Today drummer, David Morrison, has announced that he will be stepping down as drummer for the Christian metalcore band. Morrison will be moving to South America in September to do missions work in Ecuador through Extreme Nazarene. The For Today replacement drummer will be David Puckett, formerly of the band The Crimson Armada.
David Morrison prepared a video statement to address For Today's fans which can be viewed here:
David has also released the following statement: "The band will not be missing any shows and have a replacement drummer that may end up being permanent. David Puckett will be the drummer for the band on Warped Tour and through the Fall if all works out. I haven't seen the band with Puckett yet, but he's a great man of God and an incredible drummer and I'll be at a couple of the Warped Tour dates. Thank you guys for everything! This has been the best 7 plus years of my life! To God be the glory."
"David will always be a part of our family. While he will be missed greatly, we fully support him in where he is going next, and we're excited about this next season for all of us," said For Today vocalist Mattie Montgomery.
Morrison's departure from For Today was a completely amicable decision and everyone remains the closest of friends. While he will not be playing shows with them anymore, David will still remain involved with For Today.

Haha the last two comments are the smartest ones I've seen. Everyone gets on here and bashes bands because they're pissed off they never made it in one. The only thing they can do to ease their ego is pretend like their opinion matters about someone that actually DID make it. Not really a fan of this band, but I can't say anything about them, they've done better than I have.

All you dipshits on here that are hating on the guy for dropping everything in his own life and quitting an established band all to go do charity work in a disadvantaged part of the world are just jealous, butthurt assholes. Most of you who talk shit won't ever be in an even remotely successful band or have half the balls this guy does to walk away from a solid music career all to help other people in need.

LoydChristmas: "hold on there Chet, i definitely wouldnt say being in For Today qualifies as "making it." Good for this dude for realizing he would never "make it" and choosing to find a real source of income."
Hmm I suppose selling 14,700 albums the first week of the release date could possibly be cosidered making it. and if you remotely paid attention with whatever brain cells you have left after all the crack you must have smoked, you would realize its CHARITY work. no income whatsoever.

As I Lay Dying hit 10 on the billboard 200 and sold 39k in their first week and they've got how many albums out now? Parkway hit 39 on the billboard 200 with their last one. Metalcore is a viable market, it's just washed up. It's entry to metal and super commercial, hense why it outsells plenty of other bands who can't get the same promotion / attention / funding / risks.

LoydChristmas is a Dbag for all of his comments. Get a life. Get off Lambgoat. You are among the low IQ with all of the other commenters who simply say, "they suck." How many other bands can say they sold over 10k copies of an album in one week. Not many. Shut your mouth and go back to sleep in mom and dads bed.

If God would punish people for not believing in him it is proof of WRATH. If God would punish people for believing in a different god it is proof of ENVY. If God wished people to pay copious amounts of money to their church it is proof of GREED. If God wanted his creations to dedicate their lives to worshipping it is proof of PRIDE.

If God spent 7 days working, and then stopped and did little afterwards it is proof of SLOTH. If God would allow people like For Today to represent him in anyway, it is proof of BEING A FUCKING IDIOT.

Get the fuck outta here!!! Hey David I know you think your doing something meaningful here by going to a third world country and passing out milk and cookies and all that good shit, but you don't have to fly your happy ass down there to help the less fortunate. There's plenty of homeless/jobless hungry motherfuckers here in this country. Just walk to the street corner, you'll see em.
342 days ago
And as far as "its not a vacation, people are sleeping on the FLOOR...in the SAME ROOM". its called being poor jackass. Thousands of Americans live below the poverty line and are forced to share the same bedroom. Also since your a Christian you should know that "God" isn't coming back, he never left, Jesus is the "savior". He is supposed to be the one returning.... oh thats right, WE MISSED THE RAPTURE... better luck next year.

Yes, I know, I've been helping them for years. I know you don't care, but we are going to fix the root of the problems - the lack of love of God. The same problem you have. What good is it if a bunch of healthy people go to hell? Food only helps so much.. Blessings - David (For Today)

David: you are a gay. Go strangle yourself with some rosary beads, and try not to molest the native children like so many of your religious peers like to do on these trips. If there was really a God, he would strike down all the false prophets of Xtianity, starting with the Vatican. Blessings- TheLoudestGuyInTheRoom
340 days ago
Well your half right. I don't care. If you think the root of the problem, in a third world country, is the lack of the love of god, then there really is no point in arguing with you. You've been blinded by your faith passing out bibles and preaching the word to the people may help you convert a few minds to Christianity, but it won't do anything to change the political corruption and creed of the upper class in those places.
340 days ago
Which I would think are really more of the core of problem than your previously stayed root. Be careful down there hombre, gangs like the Mars Salvatrucha are notorious for kidnapping Americans and murdering them for ransom, well they'll torture and video tape it first then kill ya. Heads up guy.

Just because you believe in god doesn't mean you are brainwashed. I find it hilarious that you can mention any other god or belief and people will just ignore it if they don't believe in it. But if you mention Jesus, everyone gets offended and freaks out spitting out unfiltered ignorant hatred of everyone who isn't an atheist. Yes Christians can be preachy. But as an agnostic, I have found atheists to be far worse.
