    Word to the wise. The 'final straw' that prompted Lee and Bill to leave the band was during their US tour. Long story short, Mick's ego was already troublesome for the band (touring is a very stressful time for most bands) and essentially Mick and Shane's erratic behaviour was too much for Bill and Lee who were effectively the opposite end of the scale in terms of attitude and personality. Of course, as already stated, the two had bands of their own and so when the tour ended, they quit.
    For the record, Lee Dorian and Bill Steer are 2 of the most genuine people you could ever hope to meet.

    They glossed over the fact that Napalm Death used to have 9 members. Their former bass player Varg then killed 4 bandmates in self defense after they got into an argument about cornflakes and fire safety.

      Agreed. I own all ND & Cathedral albums except for 1 of each band (Spiritual Birth Machine & Words From The Exit Wound). Love both bands for different reasons. Lee has appeared on 2 of the most legendary extreme albums of all time (FETO & Forest Of Equilibrium). Hail to the masters \m/

    Lee left because Dig used his residual to cover some expenses on whatever nonsense thing. He also couldn't stand Mick. This has been documented in various forms for years and years. Way to rewrite history as always, and LIE Earache.

      It's weird that Earache would even talk about them as they have been fighting eachother for quite some time, Barney has a strong dislike for the label and it's obvious why.

    • @jimmytgoose476
      @jimmytgoose476 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They sold truckloads of albums and lee was flat broke . One of Bolt Thrower told me that the sleeve of their new album on Earache was the most expensive thing the label had done up to that point and it was paid for by Napalm Death.
      "Do they know that?"
      "I doubt it."
