Alan sent us an email a couple of days ago about this, and then last night he told us we could share with everyone after he posted a Myspace Bulletin:

For reaso​ns both creat​ive and life chang​ing,​ I have decid​ed to leave​ Ghost​hustl​er and move on. Amids​t these​ circu​mstan​ces my bandm​ates have deeme​d it neces​sary to carry​ on witho​ut me; I wish them the best of luck.​ Expec​t great​ thing​s to conti​nue being​ relea​sed from the Ghost​hustl​er name and from my new proje​ct in the near futur​e.​

A disappointment for people who were expecting big things out of the group. We'll have more on this early next week.

no care
hate you hipsters

Personally, I'm just waiting out this whole synthpop fad. I'm just hoping that Antartic Post Pop Swing Core will be the next big thing. Cause I can really get into some of that shit.

ghosthustler is now a band of alternative bros... so are they still cool?

alan's next internet-project will be called "me, alan, jerking off in front of the mirror". and you're going to fucking LOVE IT. what a shame he'll suck so bad doing it LIVE. HA HA!!

way to stick up for your man lmc instead of your friends.

jangly

At this point these jokes are no longer funny. Just leave me out of it. Your Drama. Not Mine. If I am attacked for no reason I will defend myself. If you don't wanna hear me bitch then simply leave me alone. I just make music. I'm a musician. Not a poltician. Not a Soap Opera Star. I want no part in the Soap Opera of local scene politics.

-Wanz

p.s. I thought Ghosthustler had a pretty solid set at the Quick awards. Too bad it was the last in the line up. I'm sure they will all be just fine in future endeavors.

wanz-
way to perpetuate your own drama.

again.

wanz!!!

greg was making a joke about how u and scott porter always get brought into stuff no matter what..no offense meant to you

big love

Having an ego is awesome. Fuck being modest.

Is that really Gregor taking another shot at me. I barely know you and you definately know nothing about me. What I have to do with Alan leaving Ghosthustler is a mystery to me. What is the point of taking a stab at me when I am minding my own business and not even the topic of the thread. Grow up. Jerk!!!!!

damn. haven't been here in a while. this is like lord of the files or some whit, yall need to chill the fuck out. look at your posts, crazy.

wow that fred durst quote really put things in perspective for me. good night.

read more books? dude I write books.. i'm fucking aristotle.

self-awareness, self-conceit, consciousness? not sure how you got that, and I think you would have to spend a lot of time describing how (in the definition of ego) "distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought" is fundamentally different from "the visible aspect of one's character as it impresses others." By the way, when you were looking at those definitions did you happen to see #4? "the quality of being a person; existence as a self-conscious human being; personal identity." sounds an awful like those words you used... self-awareness, self-conceit, consciousness... in the words of fred durst "just think about it."

Maybe you should have also checked out the definition of personality, because what you just described sounds like self-awareness, self-conceit or consciousness of one's being. Personality is (according to dictionary.com) is "1. the visible aspect of one's character as it impresses others. 2. a person as an embodiment of a collection of qualities." Also, read more books.

all this stuff is really important. Who the hell cares that it cost $5 to buy a bottle of fuckin' orange juice, when there are crucial matters such as these?

ego 1127- are you Jason?

jiffy

wow . that's crazy . bands and groups should be like marriage til death do us part . lol . we know this will not ever happen , but people should work things out to the best of their ability before the towel is thrown in . it's a disappointment to me .

like

dave virden is a snatch head and has poopy mouth.

Most of you couldnt even garner the same national attention ghosthustler recieved ( without even trying) and that makes you all mad or jealous. Go play in anonymity and forever be just a band that only your close click friends care about.

gregor - hows your fantasy baseball team doing?

O and wanz dover also

O and wanz dover also

you are a bunch of musicians in bands close to getting that "record deal" who hide behind anonymity fuck your politics and scott porter

amen.

I never cared for Ghosthustler. I never could see why they had all the hype... it's shitty music. Learn to play an instrument in your next band curly

aristotle was a sellout

dictionary.com defines ego as "the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought." if thats not personality then I don't know what is. Also, I read books.

you're all fags who smoke drugs

sometimes i'm bummed when i go to see a band play music i like and am turned off by their personalities

singing songs is a function of the ego. if we all lived in the id, we would have no reason to create.

and btw, most of the smug "artists" you are referring to couldn't give less of a shit whether or not they are/were/ever will be involved in a "record signing"

greetings from san diego.

oh and fuck you guys!

Once again, the thread has gone completely off subject and become depressingly stupid.

Man even if personality and ego were synonymous I would never say to have ever gone to a show because I was all hyped to see them express their personality. And even if it was true, I would never admit to it for fear of looking like a jerk. And even if ego and personality were synonymous, then bible pushing mormons would not be egoless, they would have a different "ego"/"personality" than musicians.

bible pushing mormons are egoless where musicians are full of it, duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

because you're paying to see a person be express their personality... their ego....... its a pretty simple analogy... but i understand there are people who are uneducated god bless em.

I avoid "bible pushing mormons" because I hate talking about religion. I pay money to see shows because I like music. I fail to see how egos factor into that analogy.

And I hope so much that this guy's next project is called Chromeo the Second the Second. Made me laugh.

"I can't wait to hear Alan's next project. Will it be just like Ghosthustler..?? Cause if so.."

What? You'll listen to Chromeo the Second the Second?

I can't wait to hear Alan's next project. Will it be just like Ghosthustler..?? Cause if so..

I personally think smugness is awesome. I don't understand why people complain about egos in musicians/artists or anyone. Egos are awesome. They should be more common. Think about how much you avoid those bible pushing mormons, and then think about paying money at the door as well as a couple hundred, even a thousand other people, to watch someone sing songs. If they didn't have an ego I would be disappointed. Its like how smashing guitars is awesome.

I still don't understand what power struggle you are referring to, what a "record signing" is, and why you think smugness is a new thing in ANY walk of life?

or maybe.. just maybe...
THERE'S A SALE AT PENNEY'S!!!!

...Or maybe it's a bunch of local music aficionados psychoanalyzing a simple announcement (one that preports to be nothing more than a darn shame) to death.

It's just a heads-up about a local band on a local music blog. Moving on.

i smell a big rat meaning there seems to be a power struggle happening and
i smell a record signing but it will be none of these smug "artists" for their arrogance will curse them.in the end it's all about hype in this industry.so nothing against ghosthustler just an observation.thanks stonedranger for making me understand what i meant.

Ghosthustler was amazing because of everyone involved. they will continue to make that good shit under whatever name it pops off under.

fuck the haters on here. im bored.
