Metal Chris
This has slipped under the radar for the past week, but A Life Once Lost frontman Bob Meadows recently sat down with the Doylestown, PA edition of the blog Fig to discuss his transition from musician to carpenter. The interview (which you can read here) seems mundane enough until you get several questions into the interview, at which point the following exchange takes place:
There you have it: after roughly 14 years and six albums together, A Life Once Lost has disbanded. One of Lambgoat's first album reviews was our January 2001 review of ALOL's debut release, and they've been a part of the scene for the entirety of our existence. We're sad to see them go.

Post Commenti guess meshuggah aren't popular enough anymore to be shamelessly ripped off by american white boys who listen to too much metalcore.
from musician to carpenter sounds very promising
"from musician to carpenter" Jesus is stoked
its about fcking time. no more equipment malfunctions on stage to cut into other bands sets. shit band and shit dudes.
Karen Carpenter, Jesus, and Lowes are stoked.
What's your band done? This band opened up the door for half of the unoriginal bullshit you listen to today. The lineup up until around 2011 was solid ad better than your shitty band. One jerk ruined it for everyone and there's no real hiding who that was. And as far as the mesuggah comparisons go....please dude. They were the first bad that had the balls to bring the influence into American metal...Now it's a become a whole fckin genre. Go listen to some more Emmure gay.
loved A Life Once Lost. those dudes could jam and smoke some serious weed.
Bob Meadows = Robert Meadows Robert Carpenter = Bob Carpenter Carpenter = Bob Meadows
dont have kids, dont be a lawyer, dont be a doctor, dont be a politician or a teacher.. being a musician is better than all of those. theres no future in union trades, no security for your ass, no guaranteed NOTHIN. wheres your god
Their entire "comeback" and last release was a total fcking joke.
This music was written among musicians not in front of a computer screen either.Most of you are either too young to know or too stupid to realize this band really inspired a large portion of your gay djent scene.This scene sucks, all of you ass clowns have never produced anything musically worth while anyways, which is why im not surprised half of you gays sit here and talk shit all day.. Ill see you on your long journey to the middle. Good luck and no this isnt a member of ALOL
14 years of sleeping on floors... You should have quit 13 3/4 years ago. What could compel a band to continue that way for so long?
"14 years of sleeping on floors... You should have quit 13 3/4 years ago. What could compel a band to continue that way for so long?" I dunno, maybe pssy and beer? Dork.
"garnered rabid fans world-wide for the past 14 years."
I had a feeling this was going to happen. Great band, played my last show opening for them and DEP. its crazy, to see all the bands that i got into when i was like, 13 and my high school years, just end. Especially amongst all the garbage that is out today. fck.
Glad I got to see these dudes in NYC with my best friends on my birthday in March. Definitely was time to end though.
The videos I saw from a few months ago seemed weak. Once the drummer left it was over. Loved seeing these guys all the time in the mid 2000's.
Why are you gays so scared and posting anonymously??? Acting real brave behind a computer screen. Come out and say who you are little pussies!! Probably get your ass kicked with that big ol pssy!
"its about fcking time. no more equipment malfunctions on stage to cut into other bands sets. shit band and shit dudes." This is the prime example of being a pssy. If you got something to say, put your name you scared gay.
It's nice to see this thread garner about 50% positive/supportive comments compared to Lambgoat's typical 5%. Loved these fcking dudes and loved a ton of their tracks. Legends in my eyes. Good luck in the Meadows, Bob. -Chad Fjerstad
All this tough talk.....a life once lost...Forth Plague and the subsequent albums always set you apart....that's evident by the misconceptions/criticisms. ..I rem seeing these dudes at Metro in Wilkes barre...then yrs later on a lot bigger stages...It sucks you're hanging it up but I( AND A LOT OF fckING PPL ) thank you dudes for the great art
I post on lambgoat im so hard, I live in my parents bastufft and make stupid comments on news that I know nothing about. blah blah blah oh my dads home time to go stick my finger in his ass for more money to pay for my shit life.
"Most of you are either too young to know or too stupid to realize this band really inspired a large portion of your gay djent scene." And that shit sucks as bad as ALOL. Influential doesn't mean good. Kind of funny the threats and tough guy attitudes of people defending this band. Didn't the singer routinely get his asskicked for being a piece of garbage?
it was always cool seeing these dudes shred it up when I saw them live regularly between 01 and 05
No surprise here, their last album fcking sucked. P.S. You gays with usernames are just as anonymous as everyone else here

well.....shit. last album did suck, great band before that though.
^way to prove you know absolutely nothing. Bob is one of realist people alive. So does real mean he wasn't getting beat up on a regular basis? I'm not down with your youth jive.
Well it was this or go back to worshipping Meshuggah.
A Great Artist was a good record, i still jam that shit from time to time. it kinda got tiring after that though much respect though RIP
Always loved these guys and enjoyed booking them back in the day. Wasn't a fan of Iron Gag, but everything else was pretty solid.
Sad to see em go. One of my favorite bands to tour with

A Great Artist is still one of my favorite albums. Thanks for the tunes, dudes. Good luck in the future.
so he is saying that his life was once lost but now he has found it. when this band started sound like the poor man's lamb of god I stopped caring. good luck building shit I guess
There goes that A Great Artist 10th anniversary tour I just made up.
The REAL tragedy here is there no longer being a vanflip possible. Jebus now has to take them out piecemeal. It's a sad day for music.
Good riddance....thousands of plastic jewel cases can now be recycled in your horrid, pathetic name, score one for the environment
Suck my dck you defenders of shit music. Waahhh I'm anonymous, what the fck are you gonna do about it little bitch?????? Grow up and listen to real music. Literally a life once lost hahahaha. fcking losers, jesus christ.
Sad to see em go. One of my favorite bands to tour with fck you and your trash band you just made up to sound cool you stupid fck. if your band was real I bet you sucked dck.
Great band from back when Philly metal actually had a scene. Influenced more bands than most of these kids on lambgoat can even imagine. Will be missed, and will be rocking the ALOL discography today.
Loved this band at one point, always brought great energy on stage. Hope they all find success.
jesus...this band is only just now breaking up? a huge influence on my band and i, but it's tough to be bummed when i assumed they were already broken up years ago.
Glad to see em go. One of my least favorite bands to tour with
'Why are you gays so scared and posting anonymously??? Acting real brave behind a computer screen. Come out and say who you are little pussies!! Probably get your ass kicked with that big ol pssy!' ^^ Great some cream for that butt-hurt you piece of shit gay. fck you and your band. Good riddance
I had the shirt with the pot leaf First EP ruled
These guys have played with friends of mine and big name acts and in every show they nailed it! With that signature ferocity these guys worked fcking hard night after night. I am glad to coincidentally been there for 3 of Bobs birthday shows (even if it was a lie for a free whisky). They were always honest and really nice dudes sad to see them go each album was a treat.
"These dudes influence mad kids dude" - Some gay with shit taste in music Good riddance
a very small percentage of the worlds population are stoked.
