The girlies are combating once more and boy, is it giving me life. There’s been some drama amongst the Saliva camp with the band’s present and former members for a short time now. Brad Stewart, who’s been the bassist for the band since 2015, is getting fairly sick and uninterested in former frontman Josey Scott coming for them of their present iteration. He expressed his slight annoyance with all of it on a latest episode of his podcast The Vinyl Street that he cohosts with Jason Bailey, the place he spoke extra on Scott nonetheless making an attempt to return for smoke.
The smoke in query? Properly, aside from Scott desirous to reclaim the Saliva title (in spite of everything, he does say it’s his “title” and that he “put that band collectively one member at a time), Scott says the present lineup of the band is a “Temu model of Saliva, with some form of a bastardized model that Bobby [Amaru] places collectively.” Not gonna lie, however that is singlehandedly the very best fuckin drag of each Temu AND Saliva in some way. Scott did some nasty work with that one.
Getting again to Stewart, he needed to verify he communicated how completely unfazed he’s by all of this, throwing Scott’s shade again in his face because the one who tried to useless the band within the first place…
“[It] doesn’t trouble me in any respect. One bit. And I’ll inform you why — as a result of it’s mainly a determined approach to attract consideration to a scenario he hasn’t had management over for a very long time. Nobody’s displaying as much as his exhibits as Josey Scott, so he wants the model, however I feel the model has lived on and advanced due to the work that we’ve put in. So, the issues he’s gonna say… He doesn’t act like he even is aware of me, in that article. So, what do you do with one thing like that? He is aware of who I’m. He is aware of what I’ve executed and what I’ve been part of and my affect and the individuals I do know on this enterprise and in any other case. So, him making an attempt to trash what we’ve executed — once more, he needs to be thanking us for holding the factor that he tried to kill and in the end sabotage and finish so way back. And he’s enjoying the sufferer. So he’s making us appear like the dangerous man for carrying on one thing that he in the end tried to finish. So I don’t really feel dangerous about it…”
Scott left Saliva on his personal accord in 2011 to deal with different sides of his life, reuniting with the band shortly again in 2022. One of many causes Scott is so salty has to do with the singer who changed him the next 12 months, Bobby Amaru, who has actually been working that shit ever since. However, on the finish of the day, a band is a enterprise and a enterprise has to maintain working, so something Scott has to say is barely pumping up the Saliva quantity, in Stewart’s eyes.
“We’ll take the free press any day, and don’t suppose there’s not gonna be some Temu merchandise, that say ‘Saliva Temu’ on them. Belief me, dude. We’re gonna embrace it with laughter and enjoyable. [Josey] most likely thought he was most likely being intelligent or one thing, but it surely’s hilarious, actually. Like, actually? That’s all you bought? I imply, come on, bro. Temu model? Our Temu model sounds… Go take a look at the footage of us enjoying the songs versus their model. That’s all I gotta say, man. No matter, dude — O.G. or not.”
No matter certainly. Will I purchase no matter Temu Saliva merch which may come out? You betcha.
